Sköld SCBA Phantöm NFPA 2002
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
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
protection. Respiratory protection in unbreakable atmospheres avoiding any filtration to the
interior.
The Phantöm consists of several important components described in the following paragraphs.
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 C02.
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 exists 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 the 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 aluminium and is fimly mounted to the cylinder.
1.4 REMOVE CYLINDER PRESSURE INDICATOR AND SERVICE TERM TIME INDICA-
TOR.
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 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 17 for specifications). The cylinder valve
is a forged aluminum construction with a permanent layer ot Teflon. Each valve has a safety
feature and a double reading pressure gauge. The valve protection is provided by an elastome-
tric bumper.
PRECAUTIONS OF HANDLING
NEVER STAND OR CARRY THE UNIT BY THE MASK HOSE OR BY ASSEMBLING THE GAUGE IF THE
HOSE OILS OR IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, IT MUST BE REPLACED. CHECK FOR DAMAGE NEAR
METAL HOSE TERMINALS.
