AC1000 Cool Climate Control Tube
User Manual
Includes: AC1000 Cool Tube, belt bracket, nylon belt and heat shield.
Function:The AC1000 is NIOSH approved to supply a continuous flow
of cool air to Bullard 88VX, CC20, RT and GR50 Series airline
respirators. All Bullard parts must be present and properly assembled
to constitute a NIOSH approved respirator.
NOTE
AC1000 cannot be used with a low
pressure air source such as an
ambient air pump
.
Air Quality Requirements
Respirable air must be supplied to the point-of-attachment of the
NIOSH APPROVED BULLARD air supply hose.The point-of-attachment is
where the air supply hose connects to the fitting that contains a
pressure gauge used to monitor the pressure of the air provided to you.
Locate the source of supplied air in a clean environment far enough
from your work site to ensure the air remains contaminant-free. Always
use an inlet filter on your air source and any monitors and alarms as
necessary to assure clean, breathable air at all times.
Supplied breathing air MUST meet or exceed the requirements f

1 gaseous air described in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity
Specifi
cation G-7.1 (Grade D or higher quality) as specified by Federal
Law 42 CFR, Part 84, Subpart J, 84.141(b) and 29 CFR
1910.134(i)(1)(ii).The requirements for Grade D breathable air include:
Oxygen
.........................................................................................
19.5-23.5%
Hydrocarbons in mg/m
3
of gas...........................................5 mg/m

max.
Carbon monoxide....................................................................10 ppm max.
Carbon dioxide....................................................................1,000 ppm max.
Odor
........................................................................ No pronounced odor*
No toxic contaminants at levels that make air unsafe to breathe.
*
Specifi
c measurement of odor in gases is impractical. Air normall
y
may have a slight odor. The presence of a prolonged odor should
render the air unsatisfactory.
Refer to C.G.A. Commodity Specification G-7.1 for complete details, or
contact the Compressed Gas Association (1235 Jeff
erson Davis
Highway, Arlington, VA 22202 or www.cganet.com).
Air Pressure
Continually monitor the air pressure at the point-of-attachment while
operating the respirator. A reliable air pressure gauge must be present
to monitor the pressure.
It is important to operate the Bullard c
limate control device in the
prescribed pressure range f
or the p
articular Bullard respirator y
ou
are using. Operating the correct pressure range will insure that the
correct air flow is delivered to the respirator and will maintain the
NIOSH approval. Refer to your respirator user manuals’ Breathing Air
Pressure Table to determine the correct pressure that should be used
with the c
limate control device
.
T
his table defi
nes the pressure ranges
necessary to provide the respirator with a volume of Grade D air that
falls within the U..S. Government required range of 6-15 cfm (or 170-
425 lpm). (See 42 CFR, P
art 84, Subpart J, 84.150)
The
Breathing Air Pressure Table defines the air pressure ranges
necessary to provide the 88VX, CC20, RT or GR50 Series respirator
with a v
olume of air th
at falls within the required range of 6-15 cubic
feet per minute (cfm) or 170-425 liters per minute (lpm).
Be sure y
ou understand the inf
ormation in the BREA
THING AIR
PRESSURE
TABLE before using the respirator. To use the table, follow
the steps identified below:
1. Confirm the air source and climate control device .
2. Confirm your choice of NIOSH approved Bullard air supply hose(s) to
use with your Cool Tube.
3. Determine that your air supply hose does not exceed the maximum
approved hose length or number of hose sections.
4. Set the air pressure at the point-of-attachment within the required
pressure range f
or y
our air supply hose length.
For use with 88VX, CC20, RT and
GR50 Airline Respirators
WARNING
The respirator’s air source must supply clean, breathable air,
Grade D or better, at all times. The respirator does not purify air
or filter out contaminants.
Connecting the respirator to a line supplying nitrogen or other
harmful gases could cause death or serious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Before using this product, read and follow all
directions and warnings, including those in the
respirator instruction manual. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
This climate control system is not recommended for cooling the
air supply when the air temperature is less than 70°F. Since the
system may cool the incoming air by more than 30°F, it is
possible for ice to form in the breathing tube and reduce the
airflow. Failure to observe this warning could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Failure to supply the minimum required pressure at the point-
of-attachment for your hose length will reduce airflow and
could result in death or serious injury.
