■Facepiece:Thefacepieceisconsistoffaceshield,regulatorreleasebutton,
speechdiaphragm,airswitchknob,exhalationvalve,headharnessandfacepiece
rubber.Theheadharnessisdesignedintheformofanetallowingcomfortable
feelingofwearandpreventingharnessfrombeingtwisted.
Thefacepieceismadeofsyntheticrubberandlargesingle-lensprovideswideview.
Theairswitchknobisanequipmentenablingwearertobreathewithambientair
whilewearingthefacepiece.(Neverputtheairswitchknobto“Ambientair”inan
areacontaminatedwithtoxicgas.)
■ Regulator:FBO(FirstBreathingOperation)systemallowstheSCBAtoactivate
withoutfreeow.Thisdevicereducesthepressure,whichhasbeenreducedrstby
theregulator,forthesecondtimetoalevelwhichissuitableforbreathing.Itmain-
tainsthepressureinsidethefacepiecetoalevelwhichishigherbyapproximately
20mmH2Othanthepressureoutsidethefacepiece,topreventthepollutedexternal
airgettingintotheinsidethefacepiece.
Incaseanerroroccursontheregular,theredBy-passvalve(emergencyvalve)
enables the user to receive the compressed air inside cylinder without breathing.
■ Regulator side button:Tostopusingtherespirator,pushthesidebuttonas
shown in the picture.
■ Regulator release buttons: Facepiece and regulator has disconnecting
structurewhichallowsusertoreleaseregulatorfromthefacepiecebypushingthe
two red buttons as shown in the picture
■ Low-pressure warning gauge:TheLEDlightsturnstoredwhenthere-
mainingpressureislowerthanapproximately55bar.Usereasilycanrecognizethe
remaining pressure in the dark with Luminous treated gauge.
■ Alarm:Thisdevicealertstheuserbygeneratinganalarmwhentheremaining
pressureofthecylinderisapproximately55bar,andtheusercanrecognizeinthe
noisyplacesuchasthesceneofare.
■ 1st stage regulator:Thisdevicesuppliesairtotheregulatorafterreducingthe
cylinderairtoapproximately8bar(8kgf/cm2).
■ Cylinder valve:Valveisequippedwithasafetydevicewhich
preventingburstoffthecylinderfromhightemperatureandovercharge.
Cylindervalvehasabuilt-inpressuregaugetocheckcylinderpressure
without opening valve.
■ Air cylinder: Composite cylinder made with aluminum liner and
wrappedwithcarbonberandberglass.
■ Flashing locator lights:Installedonbothsidesoftheharness,
isautomaticallyoperatedwhenthecylindervalveisopened.TheLED
lightsturnstoredwhentheremainingpressureislowerthanapproxi-
mately 55bar.
■ Shoulder strap:“S”typestructureprovidingcomfortablefeeling
ofwear.The“D”ring,installedonthestrap,allowsthestuffforres-
cue,suchaslantern,ropeandotherpersonalrescuedevices,tobe
equipped.
■ Waist belt buckle:One-touchtypestructureallowingquickand
easy connection.
■ Rescue mask:Thishalfnegativepressure(regulator)mask,con-
nectedtotheone-touchcouplingsocketattachedtotheharness,helps
thevictimbreathe.Thepushbuttononthecenterofthemasktoenable
simplearticialrespiration(*Optional)
■ Harness(8Way moving system):Thisdeviceis
usedtocarrythecylinderontheback.Itcanbexedtothe
waistbypullingthewaistbeltwithbothhands,andwide
lumberpadshiftingweightfromtheshoulderstothehipsin
8waysduringmovement.
