INTRODUCTION
The Radex ltration System (Comprising
of the Radex Airline Filter and Radex
CO Monitor) meets the following
specications when used in accordance
with the User Instruction Manual.
ANSI / Compressed Gas Association
Commodity Specication for Air,
G-7.1-1989.
Federal OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134
“Compressor Operations for Breathing
Air” Army Corps of Engineers EM385-1-1,
Section 30.F.04.
OSHA Regulations place the responsibility
for the quality of compressed breathing
air with the user. Compliance with
federal, state, or local regulations is
the responsibility of the user and this
statement does not supersede any existing
rules, regulations, or laws which may
apply. The Radex Filtration system meets
or exceeds CGA Grade-D specications
for air quality as adopted by OSHA, when
the components are used in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations, the “system” meets
or exceeds federal regulations presently
in force. The user is under obligation to
comply with any changes in the law or
regulations which may occur.
The Breathing air supply compressor must
be located in a safe, clean ambient air
environment, constructed and situated
so as to prevent entry of contaminated air
into the air supply system and as detailed
in OSHA Regulation (29 CFR 1910.134(i))
Total system Grade-D air quality must
be tested at the time of initial setup. This
“safe” location must be tested periodically
using the correct instruments to ensure
clean ambient air quality on a consistent
basis. If the compressor is moved, retesting
air quality is recommended. Should the
compressor location or environment
signicantly change, the air quality should
be retested. The compressor lters and oil
level should be checked daily and changed
during regular scheduled maintenance or
when contaminated.
The Radex Airline Filter Part No. 04-900 is
not capable of removing Carbon Monoxide
and other toxic Gases from the Compressed
Air and requires the Radex CO Monitor Part
No. 08-200 to be connected to complete
a system that is compliant with OSHA
regulation 1910.134(i)(7)“For oil-lubricated
compressors, the employer shall use a high-
temperature or carbon monoxide alarm, or
both, to monitor carbon monoxide levels. If
only high-temperature alarms are used, the
air supply shall be monitored at intervals
sucient to prevent carbon monoxide in
the breathing air from exceeding 10 ppm.”
4
The Radex Filtration system should be
used according to the instructions and
recommendations specied in the Users
Instruction Manual. The standard ltration
package is not explosion-proof and should
be located in a non-explosive environment.
The User must perform a Calibration Check
monthly or if the accuracy of the monitor is
in question, Should the Calibration Check
indicate a fault, the unit will provide a
service center contact number and email
address. Breathing air quality should be
tested for, but not limited to, the following
Grade-D air components:
O2 - Oxygen
CO2 - Carbon Dioxide
CO - Carbon Monoxide
H2O - Water (Moisture Content)
Hydrocarbons (Oil Mist)
Total Particulates
The maximum allowable level of these air
quality components varies depending on
the Grade of Air that is required by the
user, these Grades are detailed by the
Compressed Gas Association Commodity
Specication for Air, G-7.1-1989.
! DANGER !
Do not connect the Radex Airline Filter to
bottled air that does not have a pressure
reducing valve that will reduce the air
pressure to a maximum of 125 psig (860
kpa). Failure to comply with this warning
could cause the Radex Airline Filter to
explode, causing serious injury or death.

7Improper use of this respirator or Do
not use the Radex Airline Filter if it has
been damaged as the Filter is a pressure
vessel and damage to the vessel could
cause fatigue that could result in
serious injury or death. Do not attempt
to weld the lter unit.
8 If the Radex Airline Filter is being used
in conjunction with abrasive blasting,
do not use abrasives containing free
silica. The use of silica sand can cause
respiratory diseases that cause death.
9 Always use NIOSH, CE or AS approved
supplied air respirators. The type of
supplied air respirator suitable for each
application must be determined by
your employer.
10 Always mount the Radex Airline Filter
on a secure level surface.
11 Moisture must be drained on a
regular basis to keep air supply free of
moisture.
12 Do no loosen the bolts on the Radex
Airline Filter lid while the unit is
pressurized. All air must be drained
from the lter and air supply to the inlet
must be shut o completely before
performing any work on the Radex
Airline Filter.
1 The Radex Airline Filter should be
assembled, operated and maintained
by trained and experienced users.
2Read all instructions and warnings
before assembling and using the Radex
Airline Filter. Failure to adhere to all
instructions and warnings could result
in serious injury or death.
3Do not connect the Radex Airline
Filter to any air source unless you have
conrmed that it supplies breathable
grade air. Failure to connect the airline
lter to the proper air source could
result in injury or death.
4Do not modify or alter this Radex Airline
Filter. Use only genuine RPB Respiratory
replacement parts. Use of non
genuine parts could reduce ltration
capabilities.
5Do not remove the safety pressure
relief valve. Air will be released when
pressure in the lter exceeds 125 psig
(860kpa).
6The Radex Airline Filter DOES NOT
REMOVE CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
OR TOXIC FUMES. Carbon monoxide
alarms, monitoring devices or removal
devices must be used in conjunction
with this Radex Airline Filter.

BASEMOUNT
To connect the base mount align the arrows
on the base mount with the arrows on the
lter.
You will hear a click when the base is in the
nal position.
Turn the lter in a clockwise direction and
lock into position.
NOTE
The base mount will only t in two
positions, the arrows must align before
locking.

04900 ASSEMBLY
To assembly the pressure regulator, thread
the pressure gauge into the body and
tighten.
Connect the quick disconnect coupler
and brass cap to the 3/8”tee into the top
of the pressure regulator and tighten. It is
recommended that the regulator assembly
is tightened before mounting onto the
Radex Airline Filter. Use thread sealant on all
ttings.
Fit the complete regulator assembly onto
the top of the Radex Airline Filter lid.
Once the regulator assembly has been
tightened onto position you can t the
pressure relief valve and tighten.
Figure 2.1 Figure 2.2
Figure 2.3 Figure 2.4
!WARNING! The pressure relief valve must be connected to protect the Radex Airline Filter from over pressurizing.
8
The Radex Airline Filter has a 1” NPT inlet. It
is advised to connect a ball valve close to the
inlet so the unit can be shut o for servicing.
Connect inlet ttings and tighten.Once the
Radex Airline Filter is completely assembled
and connected to compressed air,open the
supply line and check tting for any air leaks,
tighten accordingly.
!WARNING!
DO NOT over tighten ttings, as over
tightening could crack the Filter Casting.
To t optional micro mist lter 04-925, rst
thread the reducing nipple 04-926 into the
micro mist lter then thread into the lter
inlet and tighten, ensure the micro mist lter
is positioned straight so it drains moisture
from the collection bowl.
