Description
Dräger CPS 7900 are gas-tight chemical protective suits
according to EN 943-2:2002 (Type 1a-ET). They are re-
usable.
A self-contained breathing apparatus is required for breathing
air supply. The compressed air breathing apparatus, full face
mask and safety helmet are worn under the chemical
protective suit. Possible combinations see Chap. 3.4 on
Page 23.
The chemical protective suit is equipped with exchangeable
gloves:
inside chemical-resistant FKM/butyl glove, outside optional
cut-resistant and watertight Tricotril overglove or optional
cut-resistant K-MEX-Gigant overglove
inside chemical-resistant laminate glove, outside cut and
Dräger
watertight Tricotril glove (glove combination)
inside chemical-resistant laminate glove, over it watertight
butyl glove (glove combination), outside cut-resistant
K-MEX-Gigant overglove
The chemical protective suit can be equipped either with socks
made from the same material as the suit or with boots. The
socks by themselves do not provide adequate protection from
mechanical stresses. The user must therefore also wear
suitable protective boots, which are approved in accordance
with EN ISO 20345. To facilitate stepping into the boots,
oversocks can be used. A cuff prevents the penetration of
substances between the socks and safety boots.
The visor is provided with a scratch proof screen on the outside
of the suit.
The chemical protective suit features a pocket for radio units
and a push-to-talk button flap. The pocket is labelled with the
type ID.
The following optional components can be fitted to the
chemical protective suit:
Regulating valve PT 120 L or Air-Connect:
Ventilation unit for the connection of external air supply
sources to the cooling system inside the suit.
D-Connect:
Bracket for additional equipment (e.g. thermal imaging
camera, measuring devices, rescue loops), which can be
fastenend on the left or on the right hip.
Fall-Connect:
Attachment for equipment for fall protection of persons. If a
fall connection is used, no external air supply may be
connected via an air venting hose.
Crotch strap:
for adjusting the length of the suit
Antifog visor in the suit:
prevents the visor from fogging.
Manometer bracket below the visor:
for fastening the manometer of the compressed air
breathing apparatus in the field of vision of the protective
