OVERVIEW
The second generation Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD2) is a
computerized gas-blending instrument. The system mixes air and nitrogen to
produce the sea level equivalent atmospheric oxygen contents for altitudes up to
34,000 feet. The ROBD2 will make the operator hypoxic and the simulation
equipment allows the instructor to make an accurate assessment of the subject
under test (SUT) ability to perform flight related tasks under the stress created by
reduced oxygen.
This manual contains information and guidance for setting up and operating the
Simulator Accessory Package available for use with the ROBD2. It does not include
instructions on operating the X-Plane or any other flight simulator software. The
ROBD2 operating instructions are contained in the instruments user and
programming manuals.
Step by step instructions are provided for connecting power, audio and video
sources, for the SUT, the instructor monitoring the test and additional personnel who
wish to observe.
IMPORTANT: The ROBD2 operator should be certified in first-aid and CPR and
have access to communication in the event of an emergency.
Prior to participation in ROBD2 training or research, the subject under test should
have the equivalent to a FAA physical of any class or military flight physical and
be screened for current health status prior to the run.

UNPACKING AND ORIENTATION
Transport case unpacking
1. The transport case is provided with the ability to be locked. If a lock has been
added, remove the lock and activate the press to release latches.
2. Remove the equipment from the boxes and read any important instructions or
notes found within.
3. Save and store the boxes and inserts for future use in the event the
equipment needs to be returned or delivered to another site for operation.
4. If an optional larger monitor is requested it will be delivered in a separate
container.
Orientation
1. Select a suitable location to set up all the equipment associated with the
ROBD2 and simulation package. We recommend a table that is at least eight
foot long and three feet wide.
2. The table should be located a few inches from the wall for clearance of cables
and hoses. Also the high pressure tanks need to be properly secured to the
wall.
3. The equipment should be arranged so the instructor has immediate access to
the ROBD2 front panel and the laptop computer.
4. The SUT will need a clear view of the monitor and easy access to the flight
controls.

SYSTEM SETUP
Computer
1. LAPTOP - The X-plane software is preinstalled on the laptop. It is ready to
plug in and power up.
2. MONITOR - Connect the video cable directly to the external monitor port on
the laptop and plug the power in.
3. THROTTLE / JOYSTICK – The joystick comes with a cable that plugs into
the throttle and the throttle cable plugs into a USB port on the computer.
4. The computer and flight simulator software should be ready for testing at
this time. The instructor should be thoroughly familiar with the X-plane
operation prior to facilitating the training of students.

Communications
1. INTERCOM – The pilot PA-400ST controls the routing of audio signals.
It operates on two 9 volt batteries (included) and is used to control
squelch and individual volumes for the Subject Under Test (pilot) and
the Instructor (Co-Pilot). See the intercom audio connections section for
specific connection instructions.
2. LAPTOP – The audio output connector on the laptop may be connected
to the Music/Cell in jack on the intercom if crosstalk is desired during
testing. The X-Plane software provides constant audio crosstalk.
3. INSTRUCTOR HEADSET – Aircraft quality headphones with
microphone attached. The headset should be connected to the CO-
PILOT MIC and HDPH jacks on the intercom. The MIC plug is slightly
thinner than the HDPH jack.
4. PILOT (SUT) MASK & HEADPHONES – Two standard aircrew
breathing masks are included, one is medium size and the other is
large. One set of standard over ear headphones are also included.
These are connected to the pilot MIC & HDPH section of the intercom.
The breathing tube is plugged directly into the breathing port on the
ROBD2. A head net is included with each mask and is used to hold the
mask in place. The mask must fit correctly to work properly, instructions
for donning the mask are given in the mask fitting section of this guide.
5. EXTERNAL SPEAKERS – If desired these are connected to one of the
passenger HDPH jacks on the intercom using the provided adapter.
NOTE: For a pictorial view of the communications setup see the intercom audio
connections section of this guide.

MASK FITTING
1. The mask attaches to the head net with quick release connectors. The
connectors have been color coded for ease of use.
2. The straps on the head net are adjustable to tighten the mask and lock
with a Velcro tab.
3. To don the mask.
A. Leave the yellow and blue quick release connectors connected.
B. Loosen all head net straps slightly
C. Hold the mask over your mouth and nose while holding the net
above your head by the disconnected red and green quick
connects.
D. Lower the net over your head so the red and green quick
connects are hanging at the back of your neck. The mask should
stay in place.
E. Connect the red and green quick connects together. The straps
should cross over your cheeks.
F. Pull the net straps to adjust for comfort and an airtight seal. To
test the seal flatten the breathing tube between your palms, you
should not be able to inhale when the tube is flattened.
G. If the mask is tight and it is not properly sealed then try the other
size mask.

MASK ACCESSORIES
When the mask option is not available or requested the following accessories are
included to adapt an aviation mask for connection to the ROBD2 and intercom. If
the mask is included with the simulator accessory package the following items are
attached at Environics and the mask is ready for use.
1. Extended breathing tube, ROBD2 connector and breathing tube
union fitting. It will be necessary to remove the air fitting from the A/C
end of the breathing mask to connect the mask to the extended
breathing tube.
2. Two different style electrical adapters/extenders are included for the
most common type of aviation mask electrical connectors. Please
note that only the microphone connection from the adapter will plug
into the intercom box when the hair net/headphone option is used.
3. To secure the mask to the SUT a hair net and quick connects are
included. It may be necessary to remove existing bayonet or other
fittings that are normally used to attach the mask to a helmet when
using the hair net. When using the hair net refer back to the mask
fitting section of this manual for proper fit and connections.
