WORKING TEMPERATURES:
The Phantöm is approved for respiratory protection during entry or exit of oxygen deficient
atmospheres, gas atmospheres, and atmospheres of vapors at temperatures above -25°F.
When used below the freezing point, care must be taken to prevent moisture from entering
the demand and exhalation valves. This includes when the cylinders are being changed.
DURATION OF USE:
Although the Phantöm has been approved as a 30-minute, 45 minute or 60-minute respira-
tor, varying work pace, physical condition and other factors can substantially reduce the
actual use of the unit.
SCBA LIMITATIONS:
The SCBA can only protect the respiratory system of the user. Other protection may be
necessary to avoid contamination through skin absorption. If it is suspected that these types
of materials may be present, an effective full-body protector of impermeable material
should be used with the SCBA. Sköld Safety and HazMat suits manufacturers have available
a HazMat Class A universal suit for the Phantöm.
FACIAL HAIR:
Facial hair or any item that may interfere with the mask seal on the face or the operation of
the exhalation valve should not be allowed. This includes beards, sideburns, mustaches,
beads, head covers, or anything that may interfere with proper mask sealing to the face. We
also have a hood available for users who have facial hair.
EYES DEVICES:
Do not wear glasses when the temple bars interfere with the sealing.
PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Sköld Safety
* If the supplied air fails, open the cylinder valve and exit to fresh air immediately.
* Wear suitable skin protection when worn on gases and vapors that Poisoning by absorption
through the skin (eg hydrocyanic acid gas).
The Sköld Safety Phantöm is a self-contained breathing apparatus, compressed air and
circuit which is approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). The positive pressure is maintained inside the mask during use, this providing the
highest degree of respiratory protection in unbreakable atmospheres avoiding any filtration
to the interior.
The Phantöm consists of several important components described in the following paragra-
phs:
1.1 MASK OR HOOD
The Sköld Safety Full Mask Assembly has an adjustable, four-point head harness. The
internal part of the visor can be purchased with an anti-impeller coating. The standard mask
seal has a special contour to ensure proper fit. An internal nosepiece mask reduces all air
flowing within the mask and accumulating CO2.
There should be no hairs that interfere with the neck area when you seal the hood. The Sköld
Safety hood is approved by NIOSH to enter a PIVS (Imminent Danger for Life and Health)
atmosphere. The hood has a sturdy visor with a permanent anti-emanante coating that offers
excellent vision. Has an internal nasal cup that reduces CO2 build-up, and has adjustable
side straps for a comfortable fit.
1.2 VALVE OF DEMAND
Compact Demand Valve provides high flow and is low profile to facilitate user movement.
The exhalation valve greatly reduces respiratory resistance, which allows a longer duration
in the use of the cylinder.
1.3 FIRST-STAGE PRESSURE REDUCER
The air exits the cylinder, passes through a sintered bronze filter in the handle assembly and
then proceeds to the first stage pressure reducer where it is reduced to approximately 125
psi. The reducer is a simple type of piston that requires no adjustment and incorporates a
self-seated automated pressure relief valve to protect the lowering of the low-pressure
components. It is made of high-quality aluminum and is firmly mounted to the cylinder.
1.4 MANOMETER AND SERVICE TERM TIME INDICATOR
The remote pressure gauge and whistle are mounted on the chest on the right shoulder
strap. The pressure gauge (water gauge) is waterproof with a neoprene protective coating
and features a luminous dial and indicator tips. The indicator shows the fraction of pressure
remaining in the cylinder. The primary Service End Time indicator is a whistle that is
programmed to sound at 23% - 27% cylinder pressure measurement according to NIOSH
requirements. The frame and harness assembly use ergonomic design principles to produ-
ce a comfortable, discreet unit that evenly distributes the weight of the SCBA between the
user´s hips and shoulders. The frame and harness assembly has a quick disconnect cylinder
strap that can be used for a wide variety of cylinders and comes with an adjustable latch to
ensure perfect cylinder installation.
The material of the harness is made of a special fire-resistant fabric design with shoulder
buckles that slide easily allowing the Phantöm SCBA to be quickly put on.
1.5 CYLINDER AND VALVE ASSEMBLY
A variety of cylinder types and different capacities can be accommodated in Phantöm
models of 2216 psi and 4500 psi. (Please refer to the table in Section 1.7 for specifications).
The cylinder valve is a forged aluminum construction with a permanent layer of Teflon.

Sköld Safety
4.1 NORMAL USE
4.1.1 Monitor cylinder pressure during use to monitor supply of air left and allow enough time
to get out.
4.1.2 The Service-End-of-Service (whistle alarm) indicator activates when approximately 25%
of the air supply remains. Exit when the alarm is activated.
WARNING
25% OF A FULL CYLINDER MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES TO EXIT
OUT OF A PIVS ATMOSPHERE.
An example would be to enter a long distance into a continuous PIVS (Immediate Danger to
Life or Health) atmosphere. In such situations, start exiting before the End of-Service indicator
is activated.
3.1.7 Open the cylinder valve slowly by turning it counterclockwise to a fully open position. The
whistle must be activated when the cylinder valve is opened. There must be air flowing out of
the Compact Demand Valve (CDV).
3.1.8 Connect the Compact Demand Valve (CDV) to verify that it is secured in the mask or hood.
3.1.10 With the Compact Demand Valve (CDV) secured, the whistle must be turned off.
3.1.11 If the Compact Demand Valve (CDV) is attached to the hood or mask before putting it on,
open the cylinder valve before putting on the mask or hood. Once the mask or hood is fitted to
verify that the Compact Demand Valve (CDV) is properly secured by turning it slightly and
pulling it out.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE MASK. TO BE TIGHTENED TOO MUCH MAY CAUSE, MODIFY OR
DEFORMATION AND FILTRATION IN THE MASK.
3.2 ROUTINE CHECKS WARNING
THESE SAFETY CHECKS SHOULD BE BEFORE ENTERING A HAZARDOUS AREA, FAILURE TO
DO THESE CHECKS CAN RESULT IN RESPIRATORY INJURY OR DEATH.
3.2.1 POSITIVE PRESSURE CHECK: With the cylinder valve open, breathe normally. Insert two
fingers between the mask and face. Lift slightly the face mask seal and make sure there is a
good air flow coming out, this showing that the pressure inside the mask is positive. Seal the
mask again and stop breathing for three seconds. There should be no sound of air leaking from
the Compact Demand Valve and no air flow should be felt in the area of the eye within the
mask.
Note: A negative pressure check is not necessary because the Compact Demand Valve and
mask are designed to be a positive pressure mask or hood.
3.2.2 ALARM CHECK. Close the cylinder valve and continue to breathe normally. Watch for the
pressure gauge and listen for the whistle to activate as the indicator needle moves into the red
zone. Open cylinder valve fully.
3.2.3 Breathe deeply two or three times to ensure that you are getting enough air into the mask.
The mask should not move towards your face.
3.2.4 RE-CHECK THE CYLINDER PRESSURE: Check that the pressure indicator on the right
shoulder harness is indicating that it is above 7/8 (more than half between % and FULL).
Breathe normally and proceed.

HUD
The HUD and pressure sensor controller must be used at the same time. The user checks
the LED light on the HUD to see the air pressure status. (HUD receives the air pressure
information from pressure sensor controller).
1. ON/OFF
- Open the device: After fixing the HUD, press the red button and then release, all the indica-
tors light, after 2 seconds, the device is on.
- Close the device: The HUD will close automatically after the HUD hasn´t received any air
pressure data in 180 minutes.
- When the HUD is on, press the right behind the button, blue status light flashes once half
a second, after 2 times flashes, release and then all lights are off, the device is closed.
2. Method of Matching
When it is the first time to use HUD, it must be matched with pressure sensor controller for
one time.
The matching is as follow. Within the distance of 1.5 meters, press the matching key of
pressure sensor controller and HUD matching key, the blue light on the HUD flashes, after
the blue light is off, the air pressure indicator lights are on, it shows the matching is success-
ful. Then release the button, HUD is in the status of closing, it must be reopened when the
user wants to use it.
Notice:
1.- When matching the devices, if there are many pressure sensor controllers are sending
data, the lead time for matching will be longer.
2.- The matched HUD, if the user wants to match again, the HUD won´t show it succeeds in
matching, but it will display the air pressure state directly.
