Operating Principle
Pressure Reducer
The high performance first stage pressure reducer is factory set and sealed and must not be
tampered with as this invalidates the conditions of warranty of Dräger Limited.
Service life of the reducer is six years. Dräger recommend that at the end of this period the
reducer be returned to Dräger Service, Blyth, for overhaul under the Repair Exchange Scheme
(REX).
Details of REX Scheme available on request.
Functioning at inlet pressures of 200bar or 300bar, (300bar only with ChargAirTM), the
reducer provides a controlled outlet medium pressure to the lung demand valve.
Incorporated in medium pressure outlet port is a safety pressure relief valve.
PSS® 100
A preset and sealed mechanism between the two outlet ports of the reducer controls the
activation of the whistle warning unit. The mechanism activates when the available air remaining
in compressed air cylinder has reduced to a preset pressure.
Operation - refer to Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4

On opening the valve of the compressed air cylinder the high pressure air flows through a
sintered bronze filter in reducer connector. High pressure air entering the reducer closes the
whistle activation mechanism, pressurises the capillary tube in dual pressure hose activating
pressure gauge, passes into the piston bore, past the piston seat and pres-et plunger and
into the medium pressure chamber.
As pressure increases in the medium pressure chamber it forces the piston to move axially
against the compression spring until the piston seat contacts the end face of plunger - sealing
off high pressure.
On inhalation, from lung demand valve, the air flows from the medium pressure chamber and
as pressure reduces, the compression spring retracts the piston moving the piston seat from
the end face of the plunger. (Fig. 2.)
The high pressure air then begins to enter the medium pressure chamber repeating the cycle.
Consumption of air from the cylinder(s) reduces the pressure and at a pre-set pressure the
compression spring in the whistle activation mechanism retracts the high pressure plunger
from its sealing seat releasing medium pressure air from the medium pressure chamber into
the whistle activation chamber. (Fig. 3.) From the activation chamber a controlled airflow
enters the bore of the outer rubber hose of the dual pressure hose assembly operating the
whistle warning unit.

Dual Function High and Medium Pressure Hose Assembly

- Refer to Figure 5
The dual pressure hose supplies medium pressure air from the reducer to the in line whistle
warning unit and high pressure air to the cylinder contents gauge.
The hose construction although appearing similar to medium pressure hoses, differs in its
internal construction. Inside the outer rubber hose assembly is a fine bore copper capillary
tube that is coil wound around a multi-strand length of phosphor bronze wire. The capillary
tube and wire are then brazed to each of the end fittings of the capillary tube assembly. High
pressure air flows through the bore of the capillary tube to the pressure gauge and not
through the rubber hose.
At a pre-set pressure the whistle activation mechanism releases medium pressure through
the secondary end fitting, into bore of outer rubber hose assembly then into the whistle tube
operating the whistle warning unit located at base of gauge.
Whistle Warning Unit

- Refer to Figure 5
Constructed as part of the dual pressure hose assembly, and located at base of pressure
gauge, the in-line whistle warning unit provides an audible alarm signal. The alarm begins
sounding when the available air remaining in the compressed air cylinder has reduced to a
pre-set pressure.
The wearer should regularly monitor the gauge pressure to determine the remaining available
air and leave the contaminated area Before activation of whistle, however on hearing the
alarm the wearer Must immediately leave the contaminated area for a safe environment.
The pre-set pressure setting of the Whistle Warning Unit can be adjusted by the user to meet
special requirements.
Operation
See descriptions of Pressure Reducer and Whistle Warning Unit, and Dual Pressure Assembly
High Pressure Contents Gauge

- Refer to Figure 5
The content gauge is a Bourdon Tube type constructed from a stainless steel pressed case
and having a 3mm thick lens window. The gauge conforms to the technical and accuracy
requirements of European Standard EN137.
The gauge dial is luminescent yellow having radial black graduation marks at 10bar intervals
from 0 to 350bar. At 50bar intervals graduation marks are red. A red radial arc highlights the
segment from 0 to 50bar.

Connected to the dual pressure outlet port of the reducer is the pressure switch and hose
assembly of the Bodyguard multi-function Electronic Monitoring Unit.
The Bodyguard has basic monitoring and alarm options programmed into the instrument
before despatch from Dräger.
Refer to Instructions for Use supplied with the Bodyguard.
Operation - refer to Figure 6, Figure 2 and Figure 4

On opening the valve of compressed air cylinder the high pressure air flows through a sintered
bronze filter in the connector. Increasing air pressure makes the pressure switch of the
Bodyguard active - turning ‘On’ the unit.
Air passes into the piston bore of reducer, past the piston seat and pre-set plunger and into
the medium pressure chamber of the reducer.
As pressure increases in medium pressure chamber, it forces the piston to move axially against
the compression spring until the piston seat contacts the end face of the plunger - sealing off
high pressure.
On inhalation from the lung demand valve, air flows from the medium pressure chamber and
as pressure reduces the compression spring retracts the piston moving the piston seat from
the end face of the plunger. (Fig. 2). High pressure air begins to enter the medium pressure
chamber repeating the cycle.
The pre-programmed features of the Bodyguard continually monitor performance of the

equipment.
Refer to Instructions for Use supplied with PSS 100 E and PSS 100 ET.

assemblies for the different reducer-pneumatic arrangements and associated lung demand
valves.
Pressure relief valve spring, O-Ring retainer and O-Ring locate onto the nozzle end fitting of
the medium pressure hose that connects to medium pressure outlet port of the reducer.
The O-Ring of the relief valve also functions as a seal for the hose to reducer connection.
TM
ChargAir Hose (Optional) - refer to Figure 10 TM
Assembled to the second high pressure outlet port only of the 300bar reducer, the ChargAir
hose allows for the refilling of equipment cylinder(s) from an independent high pressure,
(300bar maximum), secondary breathing air supply source, while the wearer is breathing
from equipment.
TM
The ChargAir hose assembly is constructed from three main elements:
l Reducer connection - Banjo assembly incorporating a high pressure non-return

valve.
l Connection hose - a tightly interwoven stainless steel wire braiding forms the external
construction of this hose. Inside the stainless steel braiding is a P.T.F.E.
(Polytetrafluoroethylene) tube through which high pressure air flows. Swivel end
fittings connect the hose to the banjo and quick release coupling.
l Secondary supply connection - high pressure male quick release coupling.

Product Description
The variants of the PA90 Series Lung Demand Valve are as follows:
l Type A - Positive Pressure with Push-In connector to facepiece.
l Type AE - Positive Pressure with M45 Screw-In connector to facepiece.
l Type N - Normal Demand with M40 (Rd40) Screw-In connector to facepiece.
The high performance Lung Demand Valves incorporate a precision factory set and sealed
balanced piston unit that has unlimited service life.
The Dräger Warranty and Guarantee is void should any attempt be made by customers to
make adjustment to the balanced piston unit.
Detachable variants of the lung demand valves have a medium pressure hose with a quick
release male coupling to connect the demand valve to the female coupling of the medium
pressure hose from the pressure reducer of the appropriate C.A.B.E.
Fixed variants of the lung demand valves incorporate a medium pressure hose having an end
fitting design for connecting directly to the medium pressure outlet port of the pressure
reducer of the appropriate C.A.B.E.
The housing of the lung demand valves are manufactured from a moulded composite glass
filled material that provides a high degree of strength and durability.
Positive pressure types have a manually operated re-set lever to switch ‘OFF’ the positive
pressure function - this must be pressed before opening the valve of compressed air cylinder.
First breath inhalation by the wearer will switch ‘ON’ the positive pressure.
All variants include a supplementary air supply facility that is made active by pressing the
centre of the protective rubber cover at the front of the lung demand valve. Lung demand
valves fitted to short duration C.A.B.E. and escape units will not normally include a
supplementary air supply facility.

tm 12842 - January 2004

4.1 Positive Pressure Lung Demand Valves - A and AE

Refer to Figure 1.
Before turning ‘On’ the high pressure air supply the positive pressure mechanism
must be switched ‘Off’ by pressing the re-set lever on the side of the lung demand
valve to lift and lock the main pivot lever and diaphragm.
On opening the cylinder valve, medium pressure air flows from the reducer through
a hose and swivel banjo then into main bore of balanced piston block.
Increasing air pressure moves the balanced piston axially, forcing the piston cone
against the O-Ring seal located in the block - sealing ‘Off’ the airflow from outlet of
lung demand valve.
Refer to Figure 2.
When the wearer begins to inhale this creates a negative pressure inside the facepiece
and lung demand valve. Due to the negative pressure the ambient air pressure acts
against the diaphragm. As the diaphragm deflects it then presses against the main
hinged lever of the balanced piston unit resulting in the release of the positive pressure
‘Off’ mechanism.
Increasing deflection of the diaphragm, during inhalation, pivots the balanced piston
lever forcing it against the end cap of the piston - moving the piston axially and lifting
the piston cone from its seating and releasing air from the lung demand valve into
wearer’s facepiece. Two extension springs attached to the balanced piston block
and the main lever act on the balanced piston, lifting the sealing cone and maintaining
a positive pressure (above ambient) inside the facepiece.
When the wearer stops inhaling then begins to exhale, the diaphragm, pivot lever
and sealing cone retract.
The cycle repeats as the wearer begins to inhale.

4.2 Normal Demand Lung Demand Valves - N

Refer to Figure 3
On opening cylinder valve, medium pressure air flows from the reducer, through a hose
and swivel banjo then into main bore of balanced piston block.
Increasing air pressure moves the balanced piston axially, forcing the piston cone against
the O-Ring seal located in the block - sealing ‘Off’ the airflow from outlet of lung
demand valve.
Refer to Figure 4
When the wearer begins to inhale this creates a negative pressure inside the facepiece
and lung demand valve. Due to the negative pressure the ambient air pressure acts
against the diaphragm then the main hinged lever of the balanced piston unit.
Increasing deflection of the diaphragm, during inhalation, pivots the balanced piston
lever forcing it against the end cap of the piston - moving the piston axially and lifting
the piston cone from its seating and releasing air from the lung demand valve into

To ensure correct operational condition of the equipment use the cleaning and
components and assemblies must only be agitated manually.
It is important to note that Dräger Do Not recommend the use of any form of
mechanical, electrical or ultrasonic agitation of this product. If the user decides
however to use ultrasonic cleaning baths then it is important that the instructions
supplied by the manufacturer of the bath are strictly followed.
Refer to Important Notes.
Important Notes:
1. The diaphragm of the lung demand valves must not be cleaned using ultrasonic
techniques, as this will have a detrimental affect on the centre-bonded area of
the diaphragm. Clean and disinfect the diaphragm manually.
2. If Ultrasonic cleaning is to be used on the lung demand valve (diaphragm must

be removed) this will eventually remove lubricant from the critical moving parts.
Duration in the bath combined with the ultrasonic energy of the machine will
affect the time for this to occur. Following cleaning, disinfecting and drying carry
out functional tests. Re-lubricate moving parts as required.
3. Immersing the lung demand valve and manual agitation will also eventually remove
lubricants although of course this will occur over a much longer period. Following
cleaning, disinfecting and drying it is recommended that functional tests be
carried out. Re-lubricate moving parts as required.
Safety Note: When using cleaning and disinfecting agents refer to the relevant
manufacturers’ usage instructions. It is important that attention be paid to
concentration and reaction times. Do Not use organic solvents such as Acetone,
Alcohol, White Spirit, Trichloroethylene or similar.

Introduction
The Plus and PSS Series range of Lung Demand Valves are approved for use with approved
Dräger Compressed Air Breathing Equipment (C.A.B.E.) and Facepieces.
The combination of Lung Demand Valve, C.A.B.E. and Facepiece provides the wearer of the
equipment with respiratory protection when working in or escaping from a contaminated or
oxygen deficient life-threatening environment.
For some markets the PSS prefix denotes ‘Short Hose LDV’.
Safety Warnings
l Explain - Instructions for Use supplied with the equipment must be adhered to.
l Maintain - the respiratory protection equipment must be maintained as outlined in

Dräger Limited service schedules and maintenance instructions.
Courses.
l Train - potential wearers must be trained in how to wear, and use the equipment and to

Product Description
The variants of the Plus and PSS Series Lung Demand Valve are as follows:
l Type A - Positive Pressure with Push-In connector to facepiece.
l Type AE - Positive Pressure with M45 Screw-In connector to facepiece.
l Type N - Normal Demand with M40 (Rd40) Screw-In connector to facepiece.
The high performance Lung Demand Valves incorporate a precision factory set Air Transfer
Block Assembly containing a pre-set and sealed balanced piston unit. These items have
unlimited service life.
The Dräger Warranty and Guarantee is void should any attempt be made by customers to
make adjustment to the balanced piston unit or to the associated Injector Pipe.
Re-adjustment of the main lever setting height will be required following the fitting of a
replacement balanced piston unit to an existing Air Transfer Block, or the fitting of a replacement
Air Transfer Block to an existing balanced piston unit.
The threaded handwheel connector of the screw-in variants (types AE and N) incorporate a
swivel feature (patent pending) and when fitted to the facepiece this feature allows the demand
valve a degree of radial movement during head and body movement of the wearer. The swivel
feature is not however suitable for constant rotation.
Detachable variants of the lung demand valves have a medium pressure hose with a quick
release male coupling to connect the demand valve to the female coupling of the medium
pressure hose from the pressure reducer of the appropriate C.A.B.E. (PSS LDV Series are
short hose configuration.)
Fixed variants of the lung demand valves incorporate a medium pressure hose having an end
fitting design for connecting directly to the medium pressure outlet port of the pressure
reducer of the appropriate C.A.B.E.
The housing of the lung demand valves are manufactured from a moulded composite glass
filled material that provides a high degree of strength and durability.
Positive pressure types have a manually operated re-set button to switch ‘OFF’ the positive
pressure function - this must be pressed before opening the valve of compressed air cylinder.
First breath inhalation by the wearer will switch ‘ON’ the positive pressure.
All variants include a supplementary air supply facility that is made active by pressing the
centre of the protective rubber cover at the front of the lung demand valve. Lung demand
valves fitted to short duration C.A.B.E. and escape units will not normally include a
supplementary air supply facility.

tm 1285.001 - January 2004

Operation
Positive Pressure Lung Demand Valves - Types A and AE
Refer to Figure 1.
Before turning ‘On’ the high pressure air supply the positive pressure mechanism must be
switched ‘Off’. This is achieved by pressing the re-set button at the top of the lung demand
valve to lift and lock the main pivot lever and diaphragm. The conical compression spring, in
the main chamber of the balanced the piston unit, acts against the piston flange resulting in
the piston cone being pressed against the sealing rim of the piston housing - sealing ‘Off’ the
outlet of the balanced the piston unit.
On opening the cylinder valve, medium pressure air flows from the reducer, through the
medium pressure hose of the lung demand valve, into the air transfer block then into the main
chamber of balanced the piston unit.
Refer to Figure 2.
When the wearer begins to inhale a negative pressure is created inside the facepiece and
lung demand valve. Due to the negative pressure the ambient air pressure acts against the
diaphragm. As the diaphragm deflects it then presses against the main hinged lever of the
balanced piston unit resulting in the release of the positive pressure ‘Off’ mechanism.
Increasing deflection of the diaphragm, during inhalation, pivots the cam of the main lever
against the secondary lever. The secondary lever then pivots and presses against the end cap
of the piston - moving the piston axially against the conical spring - lifting the piston cone from
its seating and releasing air from the lung demand valve into wearer’s facepiece. A compression
spring attached to the front cover of the lung demand valve acts on the diaphragm, then the
pivot levers and the conical compression spring, lifting the sealing cone and maintaining a
positive pressure (above ambient) inside the facepiece.
When the wearer stops inhaling then begins to exhale, the diaphragm, pivot levers and sealing
cone retract.
This cycle repeats as the wearer begins to inhale.

The conical compression spring, in the main chamber of the balanced the piston unit, acts

the piston housing - sealing ‘Off’ the outlet of the balanced the piston unit.
On opening the cylinder valve, medium pressure air flows from the reducer, through the
medium pressure hose of the lung demand valve, into the air transfer block then into the main
chamber of balanced the piston unit.
Refer to Figure 4
When the wearer begins to inhale a negative pressure is created inside the facepiece and
lung demand valve. Due to the negative pressure the ambient air pressure acts against the
diaphragm, then the main hinged lever of the balanced piston unit.
Increasing deflection of the diaphragm, during inhalation, pivots the cam of the main lever
against the secondary lever. The secondary lever then pivots and presses against the end cap

Moulded Rubber Facepiece

The ergonomically designed moulded rubber facepiece provides a high degree of safety,
comfort and stability regardless of facial size, or contours.
Rubber facepiece options are:
EPDM - i.e. Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-India Rubber. Colour:- Black.

or
SI - i.e. Silicone. Colour:- Yellow.
The integral double reflex sealing lips, around the facepiece rubber, follow the facial contours
of the wearer maintaining a twofold safety feature to the faceseal.
A grooved moulded bead around the front of the facepiece rubber ensures a positive location
for the full vision visor. The opening for the front port assembly has a moulded flange for
location of the clamping ring.
The side port facepiece also incorporates a moulded flange around the side port for location
of the clamping ring.
Head Harness
The Neoprene head harness provides a safe and comfortable means of securing the facepiece
to the wearer.
Five straps with adjustable buckles radiate from a central plate which positions at the back of
the head. One strap locates centrally over the head and connects to the top of the facepiece.
The remaining straps radiate either side of the head, one pair located at eye level (top straps)
and the second pair at cheek level (lower straps).
Visor
The shape of the visor allows an undistorted 180 degree field of vision. A Polycarbonate visor
is fitted as standard and provides excellent impact and heat resistant properties. A grooved
moulded bead around the front of the facepiece moulding provides positive location for the visor
which is secured in position by two clamp frame halves and screws. Visors are easily replaceable.
Acrylic, or Laminated Glass (Triplex) visors are also available for purchase as optional extras.

Operating Principle
The illustrations used to describe the operating principle show the PA90 Series lung demand
valve.
Refer to Figures 1 and
Figure 2 for the Panorama Nova P – Side Port.
Refer to Figure 3 and
Figure 4 for the Panorama Nova P - Front Port.
On opening compressed air cylinder valve medium pressure air (6bar to 9bar) flows from the
reducer through a hose and into the main bore of balanced piston block of the lung demand
valve.
Increasing air pressure moves the demand valve piston axially, forcing the piston cone against
the O-Ring located in the balanced piston block - resulting in air flow being sealed ‘OFF’ from
lung demand valve outlet.
After putting on the facepiece, with the demand valve fitted, and when the wearer inhales a
negative pressure is created inside the facepiece and lung demand valve. Due to the negative
pressure and the ambient air pressure acting against the diaphragm and hinged balanced
piston lever, the positive pressure ‘OFF’ mechanism is released. Increasing deflection of the
diaphragm pivots the balanced piston lever forcing it against the piston end cap, moving the
piston axially and lifting the piston cone from its seating. This releases medium pressure air
from the lung demand valve into the wearer’s facepiece. The air flows into the main cavity of
the facepiece and across the inside of the visor providing a demisting function. Air then flows
from the main facepiece cavity and through the two inhalation valve discs of the orinasal mask,
to the wearer.
When the wearer stops inhaling the balanced pressure inside the facepiece is between 5mmwg
to 45mmwg (0.5mbar to 4.5mbar). When the wearer begins to exhale the facepiece cavity
pressure increases closing the orinasal inhalation valves and lifting the preset spring loaded
exhalation valve disc from its sealing seat allowing the exhaled air to exhaust to atmosphere.
Following exhalation the spring loaded exhalation valve disc closes onto the sealing seat.
The exhalation valve lift off pressure is preset between:
Panorama Nova P - Front Port - 45mmwg and 57mmwg (4.5mbar to 5.7mbar).

Panorama Nova P - Side Port Port - 58mmwg and 70mmwg (5.8mbar to 7.0mbar).
Air pressure in the bore of the piston block increases during exhalation, moving the piston
axially and retracting the pivot lever and diaphragm. Two tension springs, attached to the
hinged lever of the demand valve, act on the hinged lever maintaining positive pressure inside
the facepiece during the complete breathing cycle. This cycle repeats as the wearer begins to
inhale.

Operating Principle
4.1 Non Ratchet Cylinder Valves
Refer to Figures 1-4
When valve is in the ‘closed’ position, the nylon insert in the valve head seals onto
the sealing rim of the valve body preventing high pressure air being discharged from
the cylinder.
Note: Do Not fully open cylinder valve unless valve connected to compressed air breathing
equipment or high pressure test gauge.
Slowly turning the handwheel of the valve anticlockwise, rotates the spindle and the
threaded valve head. As the valve head rotates it moves away from the sealing rim of
the valve body sliding up the square drive on the end of the spindle. The released
high pressure air from the cylinder discharges to the compressed air breathing
equipment attached to the valve outlet. To ensure no restriction of air to breathing
equipment and to maximise the air flow from the cylinder the valve should always be
fully opened.
Slowly turning the handwheel clockwise, rotates the spindle and threaded valve
head. As the valve head rotates it moves towards the sealing rim of the valve body
sliding down the square drive on the end of the spindle. When the nylon insert
contacts the sealing rim of the valve body this closes the valve preventing high
pressure air being discharged from the cylinder. Closing the valve requires minimal
force - use fingers and thumb- Do Not use excessive force, or tools to seal off
(close) the valve.
Note: Right Angled Flow valves operate as described above.

Refer to Figures 5-8
When valve is in ‘closed’ position, the nylon insert in the valve head seals onto the
sealing rim of the valve body preventing high pressure air being discharged from the
cylinder.
Note: Do Not fully open cylinder valve unless valve connected to compressed air breathing
equipment or high pressure test gauge.
During anticlockwise rotation of the ratchet handwheel of the valve to ‘open’ the
valve, the control knob intermittently lifts and emits an audible ‘click’ as it moves over
the ratchet projections of the ratchet cap. Slowly turning the ratchet handwheel
rotates the spindle and threaded valve head. As the valve head rotates it moves away
from the sealing rim of the valve body sliding up the square drive on the end of the
spindle. The released high pressure air from the cylinder discharges to the
compressed air breathing equipment attached to the valve outlet. To ensure no
restriction of air to breathing equipment and to maximise the air flow from the cylinder
the valve should always be fully opened.
To close the valve, pull the ratchet handwheel away from the valve to lift and over-
ride the ratchet feature during rotation of the handwheel. Repeated pulling and
clockwise turning of the handwheel rotates the spindle and threaded valve head. As
the valve head rotates it moves towards the sealing rim of the valve body sliding
down the square drive on the end of the spindle. When the nylon insert in the valve
head contacts the sealing rim of the valve body this closes the valve preventing high
pressure air being discharged from the cylinder. Closing the valve requires minimal
force - use fingers and thumb - Do Not use excessive force, or tools, to seal off
(close) the valve.
Note:Right Angled Flow valves operate as described above.

5.3 Charging Cylinders

After use, charge the cylinder assemblies with breathable quality air meeting the air
quality standard as defined in EN 12021. (Refer also to BS 4275). Charge the
cylinder to the correct rated pressure as stamped on the cylinder. Do Not overcharge.
Safety Note: Only charge cylinders which:
l Conform to National Standards.

l Are stamped with the ‘test date’ and ‘test mark’ of approved the Testing Authority
and have not exceeded the test interval indicated on the cylinder.
l Are in good condition, showing no signs of damage, corrosion or moisture
(water droplets) in the threaded port connection of the valve.
1 Screw the male adaptor of compressor charging hose into female outlet port of valve.
2 Follow ‘Charging Instructions’ as specified by manufacturer of compressor.
Note: Charge cylinder to correct pressure as stamped on cylinder. Do Not over

charge.Charging can induce an increase in air and cylinder temperature resulting in an
incomplete charge. To minimise this affect Dräger recommend a charging rate of 27bar/
minute. Following charging re-check the cylinder pressure at ambient temperature.
Boost charge if necessary.
5.4 Disassembly of Valve Components

Tools Required:
Peg Spanner 3331240

3 Locate the valve head (8) onto the square drive of the spindle (7 or 7a), and using
the spindle, screw the valve head into valve body. Rotate clockwise until the valve
head contacts the sealing rim in valve body.
4 Locate the spindle bearing (6 or 6a) over the spindle and screw the bearing into the
valve body. The spindle bearing should screw fully into the valve body by hand,
without restriction.
5 Using 18mm AF adaptor and torque wrench, tighten the spindle bearing to valve
body to a torque of 40Nm to 41Nm (30ft lbs).
6 Ratchet Type:
During disassembly of the ratchet cap if damage had occurred to any of the three
retaining lugs of the ratchet cap, scrap the cap and use a new ratchet cap. Locate
and press the ratchet cap (5) onto hexagon of spindle bearing (6a) and locate nylon
spacer (4) into the recess in the end face cap.
7 Locate the handwheel (3 or 3a) onto spindle ensuring correct location. Insert the
spring (2 or 2a) into the recess in handwheel and using the peg spanner screw the
flange nut (1 or 1a) onto the end of the spindle. Do Not over tighten.
8 To check rotation is smooth and unrestricted, operate valve as follows:

CYLINDER VALVES 28
Non Ratchet Valve

Slowly turn the handwheel anticlockwise until rotation stops i.e. valve fully open
valve. Do Not use excessive force or tools to open the valve. Slowly turn handwheel
clockwise until rotation stops i.e. valve closed. Closing the valve requires minimal
force - fingers and thumb - Do Not use excessive force or tools.
Ratchet Valve
Slowly turn the handwheel anticlockwise until rotation stops i.e. valve fully open. Do
Not use excessive force or tools to open the valve. During rotation of handwheel, to
‘open’ the valve, the handwheel intermittently lifts and emits an audible ‘click’ as it
moves over the ratchet projections of the ratchet cap.
To close the valve, pull the handwheel away from the valve to lift and over-ride the
ratchet feature. Pull and turn the handwheel clockwise until rotation stops i.e. valve
closed. Closing the valve requires minimal force - fingers and thumb - Do Not use
excessive force, or tools.
10 Charge the cylinder assemblies with breathable quality air meeting air quality standard
as defined in EN 12021. (Refer also to BS 4275). Charge cylinder to correct
pressure as stamped on cylinder.

Section Description
6.2 Air Quality Test

CYLINDER VALVES 31

Following charging of the cylinder after use, and at monthly intervals if cylinder has
not been in use, carry out cylinder high pressure test as follows:
Tools Required
High Pressure Test Gauge 3331209
Note: Check Test Date, stamped on cylinder by last Testing Station.

Do Not use cylinder if past the Test Date. Arrange for recertification of cylinder.
1 Screw the handwheel of the check gauge into the outlet port of cylinder valve and
close the relief valve of the check gauge.
2 Open the cylinder valve slowly, but fully. Check reading of check gauge.
Note: If the cylinder pressure low, charge to required pressure (stamped on neck or shoulder
of cylinder). If the cylinder is to be used as an air source when performing functional
tests of associated compressed air breathing equipment, then the cylinder pressure
must be at least 80% of maximum working pressure (stamped on neck or shoulder of
cylinder, i.e., 200bar cylinder at least 160bar - 300bar cylinder, at least 240bar).
3 Close the cylinder valve. Open the relief valve of the check gauge to vent pressure
then remove the check gauge from the cylinder valve.
4 Pass the fully charged and checked cylinder to ‘Ready for Use Area’.
6.2 Air Quality Test

Personnel responsible for the respiratory protection equipment should examine and
test the quality of compressed air to ensure conformity to the air quality standard as
defined in EN 12021. (Refer also to BS 4275).
Breathable air should meet the following standards of purity:

l If not specified otherwise, in any event all contaminants should be kept to as
low a level as possible and shall be far below the national occupational exposure
limits (OEL) for substances hazardous to health.
l The air shall be without significant odour or taste.
For the evaluation testing of breathing air quality for compressors and compressed air
cylinders Dräger recommends using the Dräger High Pressure Aerotest - which connects
directly to a charging compressor outlet or the outlet port of a compressed air cylinder
valve, and uses Dräger Detector Tubes for evaluation and measurement of the following:
Note: Air supplied to the wearer should not contain impurities in excess of limits stated:
l Carbon Dioxide 500 parts per million (500 ml/m3)

l Carbon Monoxide 15 parts per million (15 ml/m3)
l Oil (Mist and Vapour) 0.5 mg/m3
l Water Vapour Content of air supplied by the compressor for 300bar or 200bar
cylinders should not exceed 25 mg/m3

1 Set up the manometer (1) on a clean flat surface allowing enough working space for
the test equipment and the breathing equipment.
2 Open the valves A, B and C of the manometer.
Note: The valves are in the ‘open’ position when the valve lever is pointing in the direction of
the valve outlet. Valves shown in Figure 1 are in the ‘Closed’ position. Do Not move or
transport manometer when valves are in ‘Open’ position.
3 Level the manometer by rotating the black knob at the base of the manometer until
the bubble in spirit level is between the two graduation marks. By rotating the knurled
collar at base of the valve B, it is possible to finely adjust the fluid column to the zero
point of the manometer scale. If necessary top up the manometer with manometer
fluid through valve B until the top of the fluid column is aligned with the zero point of
the manometer scale.

5 Locate the free end of tube E to valve B.
6 Assemble the long tube of the aspirator (7) to valve C then Close valve C. Squeeze
the aspirator bulb expelling all air from inside the bulb. On releasing the aspirator
bulb the bulb should remain collapsed.
7 Carefully open valve C allowing the fluid to move slowly down the manometer scale.
The aspirator bulb will begin to slowly expand. Quickly close valve C when the fluid
level is between 60mm to 70mm/wg. Remove the aspirator from valve C.
Check fluid level in manometer tube for 30 seconds.
Note: Fluid level must remain static. If fluid level rises up manometer tube this indicates a
leak. Check seals and hose connections and repeat leak test. If unable to eliminate the
leak, close the valves and return the manometer unit to Draeger Limited - Service
Department.

Balanced Piston Leak Test
10 Close valve C and ‘start’ stop watch.
Leak Test: Check fluid level in manometer tube. The fluid must not move from the
zero line to the 40mm/wg line in less than 5 seconds.
Note: If the demand valve Fails the leak test, check for possible cause and if necessary
replace the seals of the demand valve, reassemble demand valve and re-test. Should
the demand valve again Fail the leak test, replace balanced piston unit. Re-test.
A detected leak, but still within specification limits, will however affect the Static Positive
Pressure Balance Test. This is acceptable. During the Static Positive Pressure Balance
Test it is therefore important to take the initial reading.
11 If leak test satisfactory continue as follows:
12 Close valve A then press the centre of the rubber cover of the demand valve to
switch to positive pressure.
Static Positive Pressure Balance Test
13 Open valve A.
Static Test - Check fluid level in the manometer tube. The fluid should come to rest at any
point between 5mm and 45mm/wg lines. See Note. There should be no audible
leaks.
Note: If the demand valve Fails the Static Pressure Test, open valve C then press the reset of
the demand valve to switch ‘off’ positive pressure. Refer to Section 4:2.
14 If the static pressure test is satisfactory then continue as follows.
Whistle Activation Test (55bar +/- 5bar)
15 Close the cylinder valve. Carefully open valve C to slowly vent air pressure from the
system. Observe the pressure gauge of the equipment and as the pressure decreases
note the pressure at which the whistle begins to sound.
Note: Should the whistle not sound at the required pressure, reset the whistle as detailed
in the relevant section of the Training/Service Manual for the equipment on test.

A900 TEST KIT 15
4.2 Failed Static Pressure Test

4.2.1 No Audible Leak
If there is no audible leak, but the demand valve Fails the Static Pressure Test, (high or
low static) then replace the positive pressure spring(s) of the demand valve. Reassemble
the demand valve and re-test from Section 4.1. Should the demand valve again Fail
Static Pressure Test, replace balanced piston unit. Re-test from Section 4.1.
4.2.2 Audible Leak

An audible leak indicates either a fault with the demand valve and/or facepiece
exhalation valve. To identify the fault, test the demand valve and facepiece separately
as follows:
Testing Demand Valve
1 Panorama Nova P
Remove connector (3) from the front port of the facepiece and assemble female

6 Assemble long tube, of aspirator (7) to valve C.
7 Close valve C. Squeeze aspirator bulb expelling all air from inside the bulb. On
releasing aspirator bulb the bulb should remain collapsed.
8 Carefully open valve C allowing the fluid to move slowly down the manometer scale.
The aspirator bulb will slowly expand. Quickly close valve C when the fluid level in
the manometer tube is between 60mm/wg to 70mm/wg. Remove the aspirator
from valve C.
Note: Manometer fluid level must not rise from 60mm/wg line to 30mm/wg line in less than
one minute.
If the leak is more than specification, remove and visually inspect the silicone disc and
valve seat in the exhalation valve assembly. Clean the valve seat and clean or replace
the silicone disc assembly as necessary. Re-test.
If the exhalation valve passes the inward leak test, (remembering that Static Positive
Pressure Test ‘Failed’) then the exhalation valve spring assembly is not within
specification. Replace the exhalation valve spring assembly (Side Port), or spring (Front
Port), and re-test from Section 4.1.
