Warnings & Important notes for AlphaTec® AIRline suits
The employer is responsible for ensuring that any person working and using respiratory
equipment is fully informed regarding the correct use of the equipment.
For detailed instructions on the safe-use of the respiratory equipment please refer to the
manufacturer's instructions provided with those items.
It is recommended that prior to use, full training is given on the safe use and limitations
by a competent person, with details of the training recorded. Refer to donning and
doffing instructions supplied with these garments.
• This product should only be used where the risk of damage to the compressed air
supply tube is low and where movement of the wearer is limited.
• The host airline system must be capable of delivering a minimum of 175 litres per
minute and a maximum of 260 litres per minute at a working pressure of between 5
and 7 bar. If the host airline system operates at different pressures then adjustments
should be made to ensure the minimum and maximum flow rates are achieved.
• Check the flow immediately if the visor starts to fog.
• The positive pressure generated in the head-top prevents particles and other
pollutants from entering the breathing zone.
• Low temperature use: underneath the suit wear suitable clothing that provides
adequate warmth for the working environment.
• Air supplied by the airline system must conform to EN 12021:2014 for composition and
permissible upper limit of the following contaminants: Oil, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon
Monoxide and moisture. Do not supply any other gas such as Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Carbon Monoxide, etc. and ensure connection points are properly marked. Use of any
other gas apart from breathing quality air may result in death.
• Ensure that the length of supply hose selected is sufficient for the task being
undertaken. According to EN 14594 the maximum working length of compressed air
supply tubes for Class A devices shall be 10m.
• Air for compressed airline respiratory protection devices must have a dew-point
sufficiently low to prevent condensing and freezing.
• Appropriate checks must be made to ensure that the airline system can deliver the
required flow rates for all users
• Where apparatus is used and stored at a known temperature the pressure dew-point
must be at least 5
o
C below the likely lowest temperature. Where conditions of use and
storage of the compressed air supply is not known, the pressure dew-point must not
exceed -11
C
o
• DO NOT use equipment that is damaged. A monthly inspection of the apparatus is
a mandatory requirement in the UK under COSHH regulations and inspection on a
monthly basis is strongly recommended for all other countries.
• The equipment may not provide adequate protection in certain highly-toxic
atmospheres.
• The protection factor may be reduced if the equipment is used in environments where
high wind speeds occur.
• Never lift or carry the equipment by the breathing hose.
• The suit has been tested according to EN 1073-1 for ventilated protective clothing
against particulate radioactive contamination, however the product is not intended to
protect from radiation.
The equipment must not be used;
• If the suit or airline system are damaged in any way
• If the airline is not running. In this abnormal situation, the equipment will offer
no respiratory protection. In addition there is a risk of carbon dioxide quickly
accumulating in the head top, which would lead to oxygen deficiency
• If the surrounding air does not have a normal oxygen content
• If the pollutants/hazards are unknown
• In environments that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH)
• With oxygen or oxygen enriched air
• If you find it difficult to breathe
• If you can smell or taste the pollutants
• If you experience dizziness, nausea or other discomfort
In the unlikely event of defects, do not wear the garment.
Take care to ensure that the shoe covers are well positioned over your shoes to obtain
the correct contact of the sole to the floor.
Important note: these models are not recommended for applications involving walking
Model 762 also features a semi rigid GAG visor

Donning/Use Procedure
For safety purposes and to ensure proper closure it is suggested to have an assistant
("buddy") to help with the donning and doffing of the suit.
Follow these steps to don the suit correctly and attach the compressed air-supply to the
suit
(FIG. illustrations can be found on page x):
• Having visually inspected the suit for any defects, remove shoes (model 750), empty
your pockets of any items that could hinder you or damage the protective clothing.
Shake the garment out (this makes it easier to put on having been flat packed)
• Fully open the zippers on the suit
• Remove the airline regulator unit and hose carefully from their packaging
• Thread the end of the hose (FIG. A) through the self fabric loops on the rear of the
suit and the opening in the neck seal. Insert the hose into the holder and clamp in
place using the locknut (FIG. B & C)
• Place the airline regulator unit the correct way up inside the suit, within close
proximity of the pass-thru hose tail
• With the suit and airline regulator (inside) laid on a flat surface connect the breathing
hose to the regulator diffuser. (FIG. D & E)
• Pass the compressed airline hose through the hose tail on the suit and connect to the
CEJN fitting on the bottom of the regulator (FIG. F & G)
Donning the suit & Airline System
• Carefully don to your waist ensuring your feet are positioned correctly in the socks by
pushing your toes to the end.
• Follow the airline regulator unit manufacturer instructions to position the waist belt
comfortably and fasten firmly (FIG.H). Turn on the breathing air supply.
• With the help of your dressing assistant, lift the suit up onto shoulders and place your
arms into the sleeves (FIG. I)
• Make sure the breathing hose runs along your back and is not twisted
• Pull the hood of the suit over your head (make sure the breathing air supply is
switched on!) (FIG.J)
• The dressing assistant should close the inner and outer zips (FIG. K & L) remove the
double-sided tape and seal down the storm flap. If necessary and for full liquid &
particle protection the assistant should apply additional adhesive tape over the edges
of the flap. The hood and suit body will now fully inflate (FIG. M & N).
• Don your gloves, placing the outer gloves over the outer sleeve of the coverall and ask
your assistant to seal the cuff to the coverall with self adhesive waterproof tape.
• Using a self adhesive waterproof tape, seal the suit pass-thru hose tail to the
compressed air hose (FIG. O)
Doffing the suit & regulator unit
• Leave the hazardous area before taking the equipment off
• Care should be taken when removing contaminated garments, so as not to
contaminate the user with any hazardous substances. If garments are contaminated
then decontamination procedures should be followed (i.e. decontamination shower)
prior to removal of the garment.
• If the suit has been exposed to hazardous chemicals, exercise proper
decontamination procedures before removing
• Remove the suit by following in reverse order the steps for donning the suit.
• Upon contamination, wear or damage the garment should be removed and disposed
of properly.
Note: The person assisting in the doffing procedure should wear appropriate PPE,
selected by a competent person
Emergency Doffing/Rip-cord
AlphaTec® AIRline suits are supplied with a "tear-off" strip positioned on the left
shoulder as you wear the suit. Under normal conditions this can be used as means of
rapidly doffing the suit. Alternatively the strip can be used in an emergency to enable
rapid doffing.
Grasp the strip with one hand and tear downwards across the chest. Once torn the
fabric can be torn further by using two hands, if necessary.
Remove arms from sleeves, withdraw head from hood, unfasten the suit waist belt and
regulator and lower the suit to the floor. Step carefully out of the suit.
Note: Once the rip-cord has been utilised the suit is no longer operational
Storage – Do not store in excess heat or direct sunlight. Refer to the respiratory device
manufacturers instructions for information on the storage and maintenance of their
products.
Disposal – Dispose of garments according to local regulations
