Three functional safety tests
A- regulator and facepiece can hold negative pressure B- test the function of regulator and speaker module C- test the function of power module, control module, primary low pressure warning device and HUD
26
three pre entry safety checks (must be done in this order)
tug test bypass negative pressure
27
HUD pressure status
28
HUD Alarm status
29
HUD alarm status - three icons
battery icon running man icon caution triangle
30
start up sequence - primary screen
go icon maintenance do not use
31
"Go" icon - start up sequence
successful self test will display a go icon to indicate the unit can be put into service
32
Maintenance Icon - start up sequence
if maintenance is required, a maintenance icon will appear indicating the unit should be removed from service after use
33
Do not use icon - start up sequence
if the device should not be used, a do not use icon will display on the control module and the full alarm from the power module will be alarmed
34
colour background
green indicates 50% or higher yellow indicates 36-49% Red indicates lower than 35%
35
thermal alarm
is the user is exposed to more than the pre-set limit of thermal load, the secondary alarm on the control module will display and the power module will sound a tone every 5 seconds
36
secondary screen displays
temperature icon short range radio icon long range radio icon battery icon time remaining calculation
37
secondary screen displays image
38
green reset buttons - single press
activate the backlight and refresh the HUD toggle between primary and secondary screen
39
green reset buttons - double press
reset PASS pre-alarm (or shake) Reset PASS full alarm confirm evacuations turn off device (when below 200 psi) clear primary alarms
40
Alarm button (red)
activate PASS full alarm by pressing and holding the alarm button, will occur if unit is on or off
41
facepiece cleaning
use Ecolab neutral disinfectant cleaner let solution remain on facepiece and nose cup for a minimum of 10 minutes
42
back frame and harness cleaning
use soapy water
43
when cleaning regulator
To clean the regulator, ensure SCBA cylinder is attached and open to pressurize the system, immerse the regulator in the Ecolab® Neutral Disinfectant Cleaner (wash bucket) and agitate it. Rinse the regulator by agitating it in a sink of clean, warm water. Shake the regulator to remove excess water. With air turned on, open the bypass until all mist has disappeared. Dry with lint free cloth (Wypall X60) and replace the rubber cover.
44
cylinder storage
for maximum safety, the cylinders should be stored full or at a pressure above ambient but less than 100psi
45
charger lights
red - charging flashing green - charging green - fully charged
46
Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery
Recharge batteries at 60% or at start of each Day shift; audible tone is emitted every 30sec; the Control Module displays an empty battery icon; and a YELLOW LED flashes on the HUD 6-bank recharger station will NOT overcharge batteries
47
Before filling a cylinder, a visual inspection must be performed
Any damaged or outdated air cylinders must not be filled and should be taken out of service, tagged and sent to equipment and supply for repairs and inspection by a certified technician
48
Cylinder damage - level one
Minor abrasions, scuffs, cuts or scratches resin to the exterior coating are acceptable
49
Cylinder damage - level two
Abrasions that penetrate partially or completely through the outer glass fiver layer must be repaired by a qualified technician using epoxy to reseal the fibers
50
Cylinder damage - level 3
If the damage penetrates completely through the outer fibreglass layers to the carbon fibers or to the aluminum cylinder shell the cylinder must be condemned
51
Cylinder serial number 45 minute
Serial number is 3-letters followed by a 6-digit
52
Cylinder serial number 60 minute
Serial number is 3-letters followed by a 5-digit
53
Hydrostatic test date
Insert the most recent test date If older than 5-years or unreadable do not fill the cylinder, tag it and send it in for service
54
Cascade
When filling from the cascade system with out compressor operating
55
Boost
When filling from the compressor operating in boost mode
56
Shoreline
When filling from the compressor when running only on electricity
57
Diesel
When filling from the compressor with diesel motor running and from the surrounding atmosphere
58
CFD training academy
Wind is from the east to southeast Greater than 15 knots Tower or burn pans are active Air intake might be exposed to higher than normal levels of contaminants
59
SCUBA cylinders cannot be filled
the vehicle and maintenance facility Training academy
60
What psi when filling escape cylinders and SCUBA cylinders
3000psi
61
Hot fill
If a cylinder is filled too fast (more than 300psi per min) you will not achieve maximum fill capacity
62
