Description

Oxy K 30 HW/HS/HS KD is an oxygen self-rescuer, independent of
the ambient air, with a closed to-and-fro breathing system which uses
chemically-bound oxygen and a fire escape hood.
Oxy K 30 HW/HS/HS KD has a nominal duration of 30 minutes (at
the breathing rate of 35 L/min according to DIN 58 639). The
operating period can be significantly extended depending on the
users breathing rate.
The Oxy K-Series of oxygen self rescue devices conform to
DIN 58 639 and meet the requirements of EC Council Directive PPE
(89/686/EC).

Intended Use

Oxy K 30 HW/HS/HS KD is intended for emergency escape from
areas filled with smoke or toxic gases or lacking oxygen.
Restriction:
Oxy K 30 HW/HS/HS KD is only suitable for use in the
temperature classes T1, T2, T3 and T4.
CAUTION:
Due to the possible presence of oxygen in the hood, the user
must avoid direct contact to flames or sparks when carrying
the Oxy K 30 HW/HS/HS KD. The presence of oxygen in the
hood increases fire hazards, which can result in serious
injuries or even death.
If the emergency exit is completely blocked by flames and
sparks, direct contact can to a large extent be avoided by
covering the hood with ones own body.

Carrying Method

Everyday carried on the shoulder.
Other methods are possible, such as

— on the chest with additional chest strap
— in an emergency on the chest.
