2 Description
Fig. 1 Overview SingleLine SCOUT
The SingleLine SCOUT (see Fig. 1) is connected at the end of the SingleLine of an applicable
MSA SCBA. It consists of the pressure gauge (2), the coupling for the lung governed demand valve (8)
as well as an acoustic warning device (7) (signal whistle). It triggers a continuous warning signal when
the cylinder pressure drops below 55 ± 5 bar. The second connection (1) connects a second lung
governed demand valve (e.g. rescue kit).
The device or RespiHood monitors the proper functioning of the respiratory protective device. It
displays the current operating data of the respiratory protective device and signals the danger condi-
tions (visually and acoustically). In addition, the device automatically triggers an alarm if the apparatus
user is not moving and provides the opportunity for manual alarm triggering.
In the event of pressure alarm, motionless alarm or a manual alarm activation via button, bright red
LEDs - buddy lights (4) - mounted on both sides of the device flash and are visible from the outside.
