Description

The Dräger CPS 5900 is a type 1a, gas-tight chemical protective suit.
For the breathing air supply, self-contained (open-circuit) breathing apparatus
(SCBA) with a suitable full face mask is required. The breathing air supply and
protective helmet are worn under the chemical protective suit.
The chemical protective suit can be equipped with the Dräger Air-Connect
ventilation unit. This allows the suit to be connected (via automatic changeover
switch, Y-piece or directly) to an external breathing air source and to the SCBA
to provide the person wearing the chemical protective suit with additional
breathing air.
The gas-tight zip runs from the head to the lower leg on the left side of the front
and has a cover flap.
The chemical protective suit is equipped with a glove combination. It consists of
a foil and a butyl glove. Kevlar overgloves can be worn over the glove
combination.
The chemical protective suit also features sewn-in socks made from the same
suit material. The socks by themselves do not provide any protection from
mechanical stresses. The user must also wear suitable protective boots. A cuff
prevents the penetration of substances between the socks and protective boots.
If the chemical protective suit is used in accordance with EN 943-2:2002 ET, the
following footwear must be worn:
 Protective boots in accordance with EN 15090, for example, Fireman SABF
from Etché Sécurité.

subject to incident time restrictions depending on concentration, state of matter
and ambient conditions. For information on mechanical and chemical resistance
as well as on temperature resistance, see section 8 on page 14.
Avoid heat and open flames. The chemical protective suit is not suitable for fire
fighting. For permissible application temperatures, see section 8 on page 14.
WARNING
