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

- 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.

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).

the following anti-fogging liquid: code 4200.2005
The following tests must be performed using the maintenance kit: 42002100.
To ensure correct operation of the equipment, it is important to perform the following checks within the
specified time limits and to observe the provisions of national laws and regulations governing the use
of respiratory protective devices in the countries of use. These instructions also apply to stored and
unused equipment.
The following is dedicated to the various activities required for the annual maintenance of Sekur Navy
Cap devices.
The annual maintenance kit for products in the Sekur Navy Cap range contains:
•pin
•O-ring
•plastic clamp
•Seal
The following are all the steps to be carried out in this maintenance:

a) Before performing maintenance activities, visually check the condition of the bag and shoulder
strap. During this phase, if there are signs of damage or irregularities in the components, contact
DPI or otherwise an authorised service centre. The bag should be presented as in figure 1.
b) Keep a stopwatch at hand and open the zip of the bag containing the appliance, to automatically
activate the air flow as shown in figure 2:
o Check the duration of operation of the appliance and the speed of the air flow supplied,
from the moment of activation of the air flow, when the zip is opened, by timing the duration
of the air emission until the pressure gauge indicates complete emptying and compare it
with the nominal duration shown on the bag (10 minutes for Sekur Navy Cap 10 and 15
minutes for Sekur Navy Cap 15 respectively). If the duration is shorter or longer than
indicated on the bag by more than 2 minutes, contact an authorised service centre.
o Verify that the acoustic signal starts to operate at least one minute before the air in the
cylinder tube runs out. Also verify that the sound is audible and regular. In case of
malfunction of the acoustic signal, contact an authorised service centre.
c) The device successfully passes the functional check above, proceed with the following checks:
o Remove the device from the bag by opening the two Velcro straps holding the bottle in
place as shown in figure 3.
o Remove the tube side of the pressure reducer by pushing the blue ring downwards and
at the same time pushing the tube in the same direction and then pull in the direction of
the arrow, as shown in figure 4 and figure 5. o Check the condition of the pressure gauge.
In case of damage or irregularities in the components, contact DPI or an authorised service
centre.
o Check the condition of the pressure reducer, the flexibility of the cap, the absence of
visible breakage or cracking in the hood, sufficient visibility, the condition, integrity and
elasticity offered by the screen of the black collar of the cap and the state of conservation
of the tube as shown in figure 6 and figure 7.
o In any case, replace the O-ring with the pin and the plastic clamp with the ones in the
maintenance kit.
o Check the exhalation valve on the half mask of the hood by inserting a finger inside as
shown in figure 8. Check that it can move smoothly without blockages and that it is free of
dirt or salt deposits. In such a case and in any case every 6 years contact the D.P.I. or an
authorised service centre.
d) Devices that have passed the visual inspection and functional tests can be recharged and
restored to "ready for use" status. To recharge, the device must be returned to the stand-by
position by putting the pin in place as follows:
o Remove the plastic clamp by cutting and discarding to replace it later with a new one
from the kit (fig. 9). Remove the activation pin complete with O-ring from the maintenance
kit and replace it as follows on the pressure reducer to restore the stand-by condition.
o Push the black plastic plate, then the small piston connected to it, until the cross bore of
the body is aligned with that of the shaft. If necessary, rotate the shaft until the alignment
of the hole is visible.

o Insert the straight part of the pin into the hole in the black marked face, as shown in figure
10 and figure 11, and push until the pin clicks into place. The positioning must adhere
exactly to what is reported in Figure 11 to facilitate the activation of the air supply when the
bag is opened.
e) At this point, the pressure reducer is in stand-by status and the cylinder can be refilled with
breathing air. The air quality for respiratory protective devices must comply with EN 12021.
f) Refill the cylinder according to the instructions below, paying attention to the maximum
pressure value of 200 shown on the cylinder:
o Unscrew the protective cap of the refill connector incorporating the acoustic signal as
shown in figure 12.
o Connect the cylinder to the EN 144-2 outlet and hand-tighten as shown in Figure 13.
o Open the filling valve of the compressor very slowly and carefully so as not to damage
the internal holding unit.
o Charge the cylinder at an ambient temperature of approximately 20°C to its maximum
pressure (200 bar) as indicated on the compressor pressure gauge and check that this
matches the position of the pressure gauge needle within the green section.
Note: This operation may cause overheating which may result in incomplete recharging. It is
recommended to recharge at a rate of 27 bar/minute. o Depressurise the recharge hose and
remove it from the exhaust system connector.
o Depressurise the refuelling hose and remove it from the exhaust system connector.
g) Let the cylinder cool down to ambient temperature. Check the actual charge pressure, in fact, after
cooling down, the pressure may be lower than the one detected during refilling. If the pressure gauge
indicates a pressure lower than the one needed to complete the filling, repeat the cooling operation
and its control. Replace the protection cap on the acoustic signal as shown in figure 14. Check that
there are no visible traces of dirt.
h) After refilling the cylinder, the equipment must be correctly repositioned inside the containment
bag.To perform this operation, follow the steps described below:o Place the cylinder in the bag, making
sure that the pressure gauge is visible through the transparent screen located at the bottom of the
bag, as shown in figure 15 and figure 16.
o Lock the bottle with the Velcro straps to hold it in the position shown in the previous point.
o Replace the hose in its correct quick coupling position on the side of the pressure reducer by
simply pushing, as shown in figure 17 and check that it is correctly locked into the quick coupling by
pulling slightly.
o Gently fold the cover as shown in figures 18 to 21:
oPlace the lid with the screen facing upwards, fold the side edges and the top edge
inwards following the folds of the lid.
oFold the ends of the rectangle to get less volume in the bag.
o Place the folded lid inside the bag with the tube inserted between the bottle and the lid to avoid
problems during the closing and opening of the bag as shown in figure 22 and figure 23, at the end
the equipment should be as shown in figure 24.

i) 3. Partially close the zip tie (fig. 24) and, when it is close enough, insert the free end of the plastic
fastener into the hole in the inner flange of the zip tie. Then insert this free end of the clamp also
through the ring of the "V" shaped activation pin located on the valve/pressure reducer (fig. 25).
At this point engage the plastic clamp by inserting the free end into the corresponding groove at
the other end. Pull the free end (and slide the rack accordingly to avoid tension that could activate
the air flow), until the free end reaches a length of 20 cm. long (fig. 27). Cut off and pull the excess
part of the free end of the clamp.
j) Close the zip completely and check through the transparent window that the pressure gauge
needle is in the green section, indicating that the cylinder is fully charged (fig. 26).
k) Insert and hook the seal into the hole corresponding to the end of the zip and into the bag.
