Do not disconnect the breathing hose from the facepiece or fan unit during
decontamination. If disconnected, water may enter and damage the respirator.
Note
: Before decontaminating with a high pressure shower, it is advisable to remove the
prefilters, which may become waterlogged and block the airflow.
Note
: All disposable contaminated material – such as filtration media, prefilters and
breathing hose covers – should be disposed of in accordance with state and local guidelines
for hazardous waste materials.
After decontamination, the SE400 should be prepared for reuse. This normally involves:
thorough cleaning of external surfaces. Do not use solvents on the SE400
visual inspection for condition and completeness
replacement or repair of components as required
recharging of battery(s)
performing a Self-Test
ensuring all parts are dry before storage
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
The SE400 is designed to withstand harsh working conditions and inhospitable environments.
However, proper storage and transport methods will prolong the life of the respirator and
ensure it is always capable of optimum performance.
When storing or transporting the SE400, keep in mind the following points:
Store in clean and dry area
Store in ambient conditions between –20 and +55°C (–4 and +131°F) and less than
70% relative humidity. Battery may be stored at +55°C no longer than one month.
For longer term storage, consult section
Battery care and maintenance.
Protect the respirator and components from potential hazards such as sharp edges,
heavy weights, abrasives, chemicals and moisture
Avoid sources of vibration
Do not store in direct sunlight
Gas filters should be stored in airtight containers at all times when not in use
Warning
Batteries in storage do not retain full charge indefinitely. Periodic recharging is necessary to
maintain full charge. Consult section
