2.3 Correct handling and usage
Always use compressed air with the pneumatic decon tents - ever use ammable or aggressive gases. Only Vetter original ttings and parts may be used for the pneumatic decon tents.
2.4 Safety instructions
Only trained, reliable, and responsible employees are permitted to use and operate this product.
Wear the required protective gear and clothing. Please contact the manufacturer or authorized retailer when detecting cracks, ssures, holes, or leakages on the pneumatic supporting frame during
the product inspection. Such defects can lead to bursting. Always avoid contact with hot or sharpedged materials.
Due to the light design of the pneumatic tents, it is possible that heavy
winds may cause stability problems.
Always fasten tents with anchoring ropes or use ballast containers. Comply with DIN 7716 if storing
the pneumatic universal tents long-term.
3. Preparing the product for use
3.1 Preparations for operation
Inspect the pneumatic decon tent before and after each operation to ensure correct and perfect
condition. It is imperative that the recommended folding instructions be observed.
Page 3/11
Page 5
4. Operating Instructions
Open the packing cover. Lay out the tent at the required location.
The ground area must be free of any sharp-edged or pointed objects! The decon tents are designed to be inated with a blower or
with compressed air.
4.1 Operation with blower
The ination connection for blowers is opened when air ows
through. Connect the ination hose of the blower to the ination
connection of the tent. Unscrew the cap from the ination connection in a counter-clockwise direction and check whether the
valve is closed. Make certain there is perfect locking of the couplings of the ination hose with the tent coupling and the blower.
Start the blower and ll the tent until the maximum permitted
operating pressure. The medical tent erects automatically. The safety valve integrated into the support frame avoids over-ination.
Note! Should parts of the support frame
become caught up during erection
then switch o the blower immediately
and rectify the problem. Ination can
then be continued after doing this.
e.g. Tent blower 0.23-0.47 bar
(Art. no. 1523017700)
Replace the cap after lling and tighten it by turning it in a clockwise direction.
4.2 Operation with compressed air
Connect the pressure regulator with the knurled wheel on the
compressed air bottle. Close the hand wheel (3) of the pressure
regulator. Open the valve on the bottle (5). The manometer (1)
indicates the pressure in the bottle. Adjust the back-pressure to
approximately 10 bar using the adjustment wheel (4). The set
pressure can be checked on the back-pressure manometer (2).
Connect the air hose of the pressure regulator (6) with the brass
coupling (7) of the ination connection. Open the pressure regulator and start ination. Observe the shower during the ination
process. Close the hand valve when the max. operating pressure
is reached.
Attention!
9 With the PZ 17 Decon 2 L you must ensure that the connec-
tion hose is correctly connected between the tent frame and
the shower tub
Note! If, during erection of the tent, parts of the
tent frame become caught up in the tent cover,
then close the valve on the pressure regulator
immediately and rectify the cause of the problem.
After doing this, the ination process can be continued.

4.3 Use as decontamination tent
The water connection for the shower heads and the hand showers is positioned in the blue throughway opening and is a Storz Coupling Size D
for water. The lling connection is positioned in the green throughway
opening. Therefore this makes any confusion impossible with respect to
the connections.
PZ 17 Decon 2 L:
The tent is subdivided by 1 longitudinal partition into two lines. There
are two each doors in the entrance awnings to enable entering the lines
separately. The two shower units in the middle of the tent divide the
tent into the undressing, showering and dressing areas. The continuous
collecting basin prevents uid from transgressing into the rest of the
tent. The showers with the shower cap create a self-contained unit. 2
1
each shower handsets (1) in the individual shower units provide optimal
cleaning of the contaminated person.
PZ 40 3 L:
The tent is divided into three lines using two longitudinal separation
walls. There are three doors in the entry covers in order to separately
enter each of the lines. The three shower units in the centre of the tent
divide the tent into three areas: clothe removal area, shower area and
the dressing area. Continuous shower tubs stop any liquid overow into
the remaining area of the tent. The showers with the shower covers form
an enclosed unit. Four hand showers (1) in the individual shower units
ensure optimum decontamination of contaminated persons.

4.4 Instructions of the showers
The required amount of water can be regulated via the ball valve
(1).
In order to change the shower curtains the hand showers (2)
must rstly be uncoupled and the rubber washers (3) removed.
The shower curtain can now be removed by separating the Velcro and pile fabric connections on the vertical support hose and
unhooking the eyelets (4) on the insertion basin.

4.5 Deation
The deation of the support frame happens over the ination connection. To deate the tent, close the air source (compressed air cylinder,
etc.) and disconnect the pressure reducer or the lling hose of the blower. The deation valve is opened by pressing-in and turning the pin (1)
counter clockwise.
1
Pin before locking Pressing-in + turning Valve open
Fold the tent in the way, that the air can escape (Folding to the direction
of the ination connection). Any remaining air can be removed with a
vacuum adaptor (Item No.: 1700018300) in combination with an construction-site compressor adaptor (Item No.: 1600012000).
Connect the construction-site compressor adaptor (1) to the coupling
of the vacuum adaptor (2) and turn it interlocking. Then tighten the
screwable part of t the vacuum adaptor. Now connect the constructionsite compressor adaptor to the support frame. Attach the quick-action
coupling (3) to the connection hose of the pressure regulator and open
the hand valve of the pressure regulator slowly.
It is also possible to deate the support frame with a blower with deate
function. Follow the operating instructions of the blower.
After deation and before packing, the valve
must be unlocked again in order to guarantee
perfect ination when it is next used!

5. Practical Tips
9 The individual separating walls, oor tarps, as well as the tent
tarpaulins are removed easily and quickly if and as needed.
Hook and loop fasteners are used to attach the tarpaulin to
the pneumatic supporting frame.
9 When using tent heaters, avoid blowing heat directly onto
parts of the tent.
9 If needed, lights can be suspended from the supporting frame.
9 Additional tents are easily connected using hook and loop
overlaps.
9 After use, clean the tent with a mild cleanser before packing.
Allow the parts to dry at normal room temperature. Treat outer
surfaces with commercially available impregnating agents.
9 Follow the instructions of the folding plan to fold and pack
the tent. Make sure that the tent is folded and packed in an
orderly manner and as instructed to ensure the tent is easy to
unpack next time it is needed.
6. Repeated Inspections
The tents should be subjected to a visual and functional inspection by a trained technician at least once a year. This requires inating the tent to approx. 50 % of the max. working pressure (0.25
bar). Check all pressurized parts for ssures, cracks, cuts, puncture
holes, detached spots, and heat or chemical damage. If the pressure does not experience a signicant drop within one hour, the
tent is ready for use.
Please contact the manufacturer in case of larger damage or if you
have any questions. Comply with DIN 7716 if storing the pneumatic universal tents long-term.
7. Repair Instructions
Minor damage such as cracks, cuts, or punctures (max. 4 cm) can
be repaired by the operator with the enclosed repair kit. Please
follow these steps:
1. Select the size of the patch so that the patch extends approx.
4 cm beyond the damaged area on all sides.
2. Mark patch area on the supporting frame.
Page 9/11
3. Roughen the area of the patch on the surface of the supporting frame as well as one side of the patch.
4. Apply a thin layer of the special adhesive to the roughened
spot on the supporting frame and the roughened side of the
patch.
5. Allow special adhesive to dry for approx. 10-15 minutes until
no longer sticky.
Page 11
6. Press patch rmly onto the pretreated area of the supporting
frame and smooth out.
7. Allow unpressurized supporting frame to rest for at least 48
hours.
Only the factory is able to repair damage that is more extensive.
A trained technician must check the tent and its supporting frame
for leaks after the repairs.
