7.1

General Remarks

To assure proper functioning the MSA AUER SSR
30/100 must be regularly checked for exterior
damage and cleaned if necessary (do not use a
metal brush!). The apparatus requires no further
maintenance work.
Since it contains a humidity sensitive chemical,
the apparatus is packed airtight in a container and
lead sealed at the factory. The apparatus check is
made on the closed container. The check intervals
depend on how the apparatus have been treated,
in accordance with the intervals schedule (7.2).

chemical canister.
If the complete unit cannot be packed in the
container, the following procedure is required:
• The chemical canister must be removed from the
apparatus (loosen clamp, remove protective
