2.1. Apparatus Overview
Fig. 1 Apparatus overview SavOxCap 60
1 Container with carry strap 5 Breathing tube
2 Hood 6 Breathing bag
3 Straps for tightening the mask 7 Chemical canister (KO2canister)
4 Breathing connection with half-mask

8 Start ring
The chemical oxygen apparatus SavOxCap 60 is contained in an enclosed and
sealed container.
The respiratory protection device contained in the container includes a chemical
canister and a hood with half-mask which is connected to the canister by a
breathing tube. The canister contains potassium hyperoxide (KO2), which is
required for the regeneration of the exhaled air. The speech diaphragm which is
integrated in the breathing connection permits speech communication.
The apparatus is equipped with a starter for the initiation of use which is actuated
when the apparatus is put on. The breathing bag then fills with oxygen. During the
escape, the breathing air prepared in the KO2canister is made available in the
breathing bag.

MSA DESCRIPTION
SavOxCap 60 7
2.2. Function
The SavOxCap 60 supplies the wearer of the apparatus with oxygen which is
created from the chemical potassium hyperoxide (KO2). In an emergency, the
container is opened and the respiratory protection device is taken out.
The apparatus has a closed breathing circuit. When in operation, the exhaled air
is transferred to the chemical canister with the potassium hyperoxide. The
potassium hyperoxide reacts with the humidity and the carbon dioxide of the
exhaled air and, at the same time, creates oxygen and heat. The air for inhalation
prepared in this way is fed to the breathing bag and is then inhaled again.
The amount of resulting oxygen depends on the intensity of respiration. Increased
respiration (more carbon dioxide, more humidity) increases the formation of
oxygen or vice versa.
After actuating the starter, the breathing bag immediately fills with oxygen and
breathing can begin.
When the apparatus is used for breathing, the KO2canister warms up, as does
the inhalation air, gradually. This is normal and indicates the correct operation of
the apparatus.
The supply of oxygen starts to decline if inhalation becomes more difficult and the
breathing bag starts to collapse.
Attention!
The SavOxCap 60 must only be opened for use! Otherwise humidity
from the ambient air can penetrate the open unit and affect the
performance. Used or opened units must be replaced by new units.

4.2. Tightness Test
The tightness test of the SavOxCap 60 is carried out using the MSA tightness
tester for chemical oxygen breathing protection apparatus. Detailed descriptions
of the structure, function, use and maintenance of the tightness tester can be
taken from the relevant operating instructions (Order No.: D1118845).
The tightness test of the SavOxCap 60 is carried out as follows:
(1) Push the SavOxCap 60 without carrying strap into the tightness tester in
such a way that the cover points towards the door, close the door and lock.
(2) Set timer to 90 s.
(3) Create overpressure with the lever, i.e. push the lever downwards until it
engages and start the timer at the same time.
(4) After 30 seconds, cover the black pointer with the red pointer.
(5) After a further 60 seconds, the timer signals the end of the test period. Then
read the pressure difference between the red and the black pointers.
The SavOxCap 60 is tight if the black pointer remains in the prescribed pressure
range and if the pressure difference is no more than 5 mbar.
If the pressure drop is more than 5 mbar, the unit must be replaced.
