Manufacturer

SEKUR NAVY CAP is manufactured by:
Dispositivi Protezione Individuale D.P.I. srl
Via di Cervara, 42
00155 ROMA
ITALY
3. DESCRIPTION AND USE
The SEKUR CAP NAVY range of self-contained compressed air escape breathing apparatus
includes the nominal duration of 10 minutes and 15 minutes. The total weight of the equipment
(in the 10 and 15 minute versions) exceeds 5 kg. It is therefore not considered suitable (as
defined in EN1146) to be carried by the user for an entire work shift.
The equipment is integrated into a chest carry bag with an adjustable shoulder strap. When the
zip of the carrying bag is opened, a locking pin is released, which automatically activates the
valve / pressure reducer. The pressure reducer ensures the maintenance of a constant average
pressure value, a pre-set nozzle provides, delivers a constant flow of breathable air through a
connecting tube to the front of the lid. When the cylinder is running low and there is less than
one minute of autonomy remaining, an acoustic signal indicates the end of the nominal duration.
The SEKUR NAVY CAP range of equipment provides the user with escape breathing protection
from contaminated or oxygen deprived environments in hazardous situations. Safety warning:
the duration starts from the moment of activation of the air supply and not from the moment the
hood is put on. The time required to allow the user to escape to safety is less than or equal to the
stated capacity of the equipment. When choosing an escape device model and duration, it is
essential to consider any potential hazards, such as storage location and escape route.
Note: although the bag has antistatic characteristics as required by the reference standard,
the SNC device is not designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
4. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The equipment is available in two versions of 10 and 15 minutes and differs by the associated bottle. In
particular, the 2L steel bottles are used for a nominal duration of 10 minutes and the 3L steel bottles for a
nominal duration of 15 minutes.
4.1. AIR FLOW RATE
greater than 35 l/min
5. PREPARATION FOR USE
5.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
- Check that the reading on the pressure gauge corresponds to the maximum filling pressure
of the cylinder (i.e. 200 bar). The needle of the pressure gauge must be within the green
section.
- Check that the seal of the bag closure is intact.

5.2. USE
Fitting the equipment
- Pull the strap of the bag over your head and adjust its length until the equipment is
positioned in the centre of your chest.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
- Grasp the yellow ring on the bag's zip and pull firmly in the direction of the zip opening to
break the seal. This action will activate the air flow in the seal.
- Remove the hood from the bag immediately.
Safety warning: the duration starts from the moment the air supply is activated and not from
the moment the hood is put on.
- Grasp both edges of the hood, then adjust the hood by positioning the half mask to cover the
nose and mouth. Breathe normally and leave the danger zone immediately via the shortest and
safest escape route.
Important note: wearers with glasses should also wear the sealing collar over the glasses.
5.3. AFTER USE
Safety warning: do not remove the equipment until a safe area has been reached unless the air
supply from the cylinder has been exhausted. An acoustic signal is emitted at the end of the
rated duration.
- When a safe area has been reached, or when the cylinder air supply has been exhausted,
remove the hood and remove the equipment.
Note: Do not drop or throw the equipment as damage may occur.
- Turn the equipment over to the inspections department.
6. ROUTINE CHECK
To be carried out after use of the equipment
6.1. CLEANING, DISINFECTION, DRYING
If necessary, clean, disinfect and thoroughly dry soiled or contaminated components after use.
When components or assemblies are soaked in detergent or disinfectant solutions, they
should be manually agitated.
DPI does not recommend any type of mechanical, electrical or ultrasonic rinsing.
Do not immerse the hood or valve in degreasing or disinfectant solutions.
Safety Note: Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the use of detergents or
disinfectants, it is important to pay attention to concentrations and reaction times. Do not use
organic solvents such as acetone, alcohol, petrol, trichloroethylene or similar.
Use a clean cloth dampened in the detergent or disinfectant solution to remove dirt or
contaminants from the valve, pressure reducer and hood.
Remove residual disinfectant liquid with a clean cloth dampened with water, then wipe dry. D.P.I.
recommends the following products:
Detergent: cod. no. 4437.0370.
Do not exceed a temperature of 30 °C.
Note: Rinse with clean water to remove detergent before disinfecting. Desinfectante cod. N. 4437.0360

Disinfectant cod. No. 4437.0360
Do not exceed 30 °C.
Rinsing and drying: remove residues of detergent and disinfectant solutions with plenty of clean running
water, then wipe dry. When the components are dry, the temperature of 60 °C must not be exceeded
6.2. RECHARGING
Air quality
Safety note: The air quality for respiratory protective devices must comply with EN 12021. Only charge
compressed air cylinders that:
1. Comply with national regulations.
2.Have the manufacturer's original test and marking dates.
3. Have not exceeded the expiry date printed on the cylinder by the last test station.
4.Refill to the pressure stamped on the cylinder.
Top-up procedure
1. Release the two Velcro straps holding the bottle in place inside the bag and remove the pressure
gauge in the slot of the protective foam, then remove the bottle from the bag (fig. 3).
2. Cut the plastic clamp off the end of the zip tie and remove it (fig. 9). Hold the particular steel V-
shape, the removal of which activates the air flow.
3. Note: The "V" locking shaft must be fitted with an O-ring to hold the clamp firmly in place. It is
possible that during exhaust, the shaft and/or O-ring may have been lost, in which case replace them
with new ones. Maintain these and the cylinder.
Push the black plastic plate and the piston connected to it into the activation equipment. If necessary,
rotate the shaft until the perpendicular hole in the shaft is in line with the hole in the black marked
face.
4. Insert the straight part of the "V" locking shaft with the O-ring through the two holes entering from
the side opposite the pressure gauge marked with the black paint (fig. 10 and 11) and, in any case, so
that it is inclined with respect to the cylinder shaft and aligned in the rack opening direction. Unscrew
the protective cap of the refill connector, which incorporates the acoustic signal (fig. 12) and connect
it to the EN 144-2 connector and tighten it by hand (fig. 13).
5. Charge the cylinder until the pressure gauge needle reaches the green section.
Note: recharging may cause a temperature rise resulting in an incomplete charge. It is recommended
to recharge at a rate of 27 bar/minute.
At room temperature, the pressure gauge needle should be within the "green" section. If necessary,
top up the charge again.
When the cylinder is fully charged, vent the pressure from the charging hose.
Remove the charging hose from the charging port and replace the white/whistle guard (fig.14).
Reassemble the unit by following steps 1 to 5 of the following section
