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

Oxy K 30 HS/HS KD
Everyday carried on the shoulder.
Other methods are possible, such as
transport in a vehicle
on the chest with additional chest strap
in an emergency on the chest.
