II. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
This manual provides operating instructions as
well as cleaning, maintenance, and storage
procedures for the Sperian WARRIOR high and
low pressure SCBA. You ust read and
understand these instructions and be properly
trained before using the SCBA in a hazardous
at osphere.
The Warnings, Cautions, and Notes contained in
this manual have the following significance:
•The user is responsible for establishing that
this equipment is suitable for the user’s
application.
•For respiratory protection, this SCBA must be
worn an use as specifie in Sperian’s
instructions. No protective equipment can
provi e complete protection from all con itions.
Use extreme care for all emergency operations.
Do not use the WARRIOR SCBA alone for any
fire fighting, hazar ous material operation, or
CBRN response operations; a itional protective
clothing an equipment are require for
protection. Always use in conjunction with
personal protective ensembles that provi e
appropriate levels of protection against ermal
hazar . This SCBA may cease to provi e
protection if use uring excessive heat or
flashover con itions harsher than those in
which it has been teste . Users must clean an
maintain this SCBA only in accor ance with
Sperian’s instructions. Accessories or replace-
ment components not certifie for use with this
SCBA may egra e performance or make this
SCBA unsafe, or voi NIOSH certification, an
must not be use without Sperian's written
consent. The user must rea , un erstan , an
follow the accessory installation an operation
instructions before using this SCBA in a
hazar ous environment. Only Sperian
components shall be use with this SCBA.
Failure to comply shall voi the warranty an
NIOSH approval.
•Your Sperian respirator has been constructe
of materials selecte after careful consi eration
for their performance, safety, an urability.
However, all materials have exposure
limitations to flame, extremes of heat an col ,
or to the many chemicals in use to ay. No
materials exist that can be use safely in all of
these environments.
Maintenance or operating proce ures an
techniques that may result in personal injury,
illness, or eath if not carefully followe .
CAUTION
Maintenance or operating proce ures an tech-
niques that may result in amage to equipment
if not carefully followe .
NOTE
The NIOSH CBRN Approved Cautions and
Limitations are located on page ii and page 40
of this manual, and must remain permanently
affixed. If the NIOSH CBRN Approved Cautions
and Limitations are not present, contact your local
Sperian representative or safety officer for a
replacement manual.
All Sperian-certified technicians are required to
remain current on new procedures and parts
through Sperian’s published Technical Bulletins,
technical manual revisions, and certification
classes.
NOTE
Maintenance or operating procedures and tech-
niques or information considered important
enough to emphasize.

WARRIOR™Operation Manual

•Exposure to atmospheres containing CBRN
agents may cause the SCBA to be expose
to excessive CBRN agent levels. Although
the WARRIOR SCBA will prevent penetration an
permeation of specific concentrations of CBRN
agents, there coul be environments that are
contaminate with CBRN agent levels that
excee the NIOSH CBRN test protocol concentra-
tions. This is a particular concern in confine
space environments. Proper quantification of the
CBRN agent contaminate environment is
recommen e prior to entry.
•Our engineers cannot pre ict what will
happen to this equipment in every potential
environment. Materials can be chemically
attacke if expose to the wrong environment
an may exhibit excessive corrosion or other
forms of amage. Permeation of gases an
liqui s through the materials coul be
excessive. Flame or extremes of temperature
might cause thermal egra ation. Each of these
things, or a combination of them, coul create
con itions in which this Sperian equipment
woul be angerous to use.
•This respirator will re uce, but will not
eliminate, the inhalation of contaminants.
Before allowing anyone to enter a hazar ous
environment while wearing Sperian equipment,
you must con uct safe, scientific tests to
etermine if the environment coul ren er the
equipment unsafe. Results of this testing shoul
be well ocumente . Seek the help of a certifie
safety professional or in ustrial hygienist. DO
NOT USE this equipment if the user woul
be en angere in any way through
environmentally in uce egra ation of the
materials in the apparatus.
•All persons using the Sperian breathing
apparatus must be ma e aware of its limita-
tions. We cannot be responsible for any amage
to property, personal injury or eath in which
environmental exposure is a contributing factor.
•This respirator oes not protect expose areas
of the bo y. Some contaminants can be
absorbe irectly through the skin while others
may irritate expose areas. Always use in
conjunction with personal protective ensembles
that provi e appropriate levels of protection
against ermal hazar s.
•Visual in ications of material egra ation
may be i entifie by charring, blistering,
cracking, crazing, pitting, chalking, rust, an
significant color changes, all of which can result
in a weakene structure, prohibiting exten e
useful service life.
•Do not wear this respirator if a satisfactory fit,
as etermine by the fit testing escribe in
section VI., cannot be obtaine . Also see ANSI
Z88.2 latest e ition an OSHA respirator
Stan ar (29 CFR 1910.134).
•Bear s an si eburns will prevent a goo
facepiece seal. Do not use this respirator unless
you are clean shaven.
•This respirator must be use in conjunction
with a written respirator program meeting the
requirement of the OSHA Stan ar for
Respiratory Protection, 29 CFR 1910.134,
available from the U.S. Department of Labor,
Occupational Safety an Heath A ministration.
The program must inclu e, but not be limite to,
proce ures for evaluating air contaminants an
selecting the appropriate respirator; proce ures
for testing the facepiece-to-face fit of respirators;
proce ures for cleaning, isinfecting, inspecting,
maintaining, an storing respirators; proce ures
for etermining if workers are physically an
me ically capable of wearing respirators; an
proce ures for training employees in the use
of respirators an in recognizing the hazar
associate with contaminants in the workplace.
•Do not use this respirator un erwater or for
abrasive blasting.
•This SCBA is esigne for storage in
temperature from -25°F to +160°F.

WARRIOR™Operation Manual

•Sperian respirators, accessories, an
associate equipment shoul not be use in
atmospheres which may contain contaminant
concentrations above the lower explosive
level (LEL). Intrinsic safety certification of
electronic components oes not eliminate
potential anger from ignition in these
atmospheres.
•The pressure within the Sperian facepiece
remains positive un er most working con i-
tions, but as with all SCBAs, negative pressure
excursions are possible. Con itions when an
SCBA can experience negative facepiece
pressures inclu e, but are not limite to: 1) the
SCBA is improperly worn, 2) the SCBA is not
use in accor ance with the instructions, 3) the
SCBA is improperly maintaine , or 4) the SCBA
is over-breathe uring heavy work rates. The
SCBA will provi e re uce protection when
operate in a negative pressure mo e.
•Some sensitive in ivi uals may experience
health problems when expose to even minute
amounts of contaminants. This SCBA will not
prevent health problems for those in ivi uals.
•Persons sensitize can have a severe reac-
tion to chemicals at levels such as the OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), ACGIH®
Threshol Limit Value (TLV®), or NIOSH
Recommen e Exposure Limits (REL). Do not
use this SCBA if you have been sensitize from
previous exposure or believe that you may be
sensitive or allergic to any chemicals (e.g.,
organophosphate, isocyanates, latex, etc.).
•Do not alter or mo ify this SCBA in any
manner. Mo ifying this SCBA will voi NIOSH
certification an may create a con ition in
which the SCBA woul not provi e the
inten e protection. Do not remove, obscure,
or alter any labels on the SCBA.
•Some in ivi uals are sensitive to chemicals
(e.g., isocyanates, latex, oil mists, etc.) or may
have some type of respiratory isor er (e.g.,
asthma, chronic obstructive airway isease,
etc.). If you are sensitive to any chemical or
have a respiratory isor er, you may have a
severe reaction at contaminant levels well
below accepte health levels, such as the
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit value, or the
NIOSH Recommen e Exposure Limit (REL).
Many chemicals (e.g., isocyanates, mercury,
etc.) have no physical warning properties an
you cannot taste or smell the contaminants
even though they may be present in the
facepiece. This SCBA will re uce, but will not
eliminate, the possibility of contaminants
entering the facepiece an causing a severe
reaction. Do not use this respirator un er these
con itions.
•Discontinue use if you experience skin
irritation or iscoloration.
•You must rea , un erstan , an follow all
warnings, instructions, labels, Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS), etc., for the materials you
are using (e.g., paints, har eners, insectici es,
varnishes, etc.). You must also rea , un er-
stan , an follow all warnings, instructions,
etc., liste in the MSDS for any contaminants
that may be or are present in the work area.
•An impact to the secon stage regulator
when the cylin er valve is open may ina ver-
tently activate the First-Breath-On mechanism,
causing air to flow from the regulator an
iminishing the air in the cylin er.
•ONLY grasp the cylin er valve han wheel to
open or close the valve; DO NOT pick up or
carry a cylin er by the han wheel, rop a
cylin er on the han wheel, or bump the
han wheel, as this may cause the cylin er
valve to ina vertently open, which may lea
to the cylin er becoming airborne un er the
thrust of air release from the open valve,
causing injury or eath. ALWAYS pick up an
carry an air cylin er by the cylin er bo y.

WARRIOR™Operation Manual

•DO NOT over-torque air cylin er valves.
ALWAYS verify that the hy rostatic test facility
performing your cylin er testing DOES NOT
over-torque the cylin er valves when they
reinstall them.
•Some CBRN agents may not present imme i-
ate effects from exposure, but can result in
elaye impairment, illness, or eath.
•Direct contact with CBRN agents requires
proper han ling of the SCBA after each use
an between multiple entries uring the same
use. Decontamination an isposal proce ures
must be followe . If contaminate with liqui
chemical warfare agents, ispose of the SCBA
after econtamination.
•The respirator shoul not be use beyon six
(6) hours after initial exposure to chemical
warfare agents to avoi the possibility of
agent permeation.
•Prior to using the WARRIOR SCBA for the first
time, you must perform fit testing as escribe
in section VI. Do not wear this respirator if a
satisfactory fit, as etermine by the fit testing
escribe in section VI., cannot be obtaine .
•FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE WARN-
INGS MAY LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY,
ILLNESS, OR DEATH.

WARRIOR™Operation Manual
IV. DESCRIPTION
9
The WARRIOR SCBA provides the wearer with
respiratory protection in hazardous environments,
and may be used for entrance into and escape
from atmospheres that are immediately
dangerous to life or health (IDLH). The WARRIOR
SCBA is an NFPA and NIOSH CBRN-compliant
SCBA, and may be used for fire fighting and/or
CBRN incident response.
• The WARRIOR SCBA meets all requirements of
the NFPA 1981 Standard, 2007 Edition, Open-
Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus for
Emergenc Services.
• See NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department
Occupational Safet and Health Program, for
proper use of SCBAs in the work environment.
• The WARRIOR SCBA meets the requirements of
the NIOSH CBRN standard and has been granted
NIOSH CBRN approval. The NIOSH CBRN
approval label is located on the lower back
section of the backpack frame, underneath the
cylinder valve.
A. Backpack an Cylin er
1. The backpack consists of a lightweight
aluminum backplate with an aluminum hip-plate
that both swivels and hinges on the backplate. The
backpack has three integrated carrying handles
with carabiner attachment points. The cylinder is
attached by a stainless steel band, and has a
release latch on the right hand side (when looking
at the cylinder with the valve pointing down), and
an adjustment latch on the left hand side. The
WARRIOR harness is made of Kevlar straps. The
pressure gauge, mounted on the right shoulder
strap, is integrated with the PASS device on units
equipped with a PASS, and is a standard
chest-mounted gauge on units not equipped with a
PASS. The gauge indicates the cylinder pressure
once the cylinder valve has been opened. The
intermediate pressure hose is routed over the
left shoulder, and includes an optional electri-
cal/pneumatic quick connector in line, which
allows easy removal of the second stage regula-
tor from the SCBA. Connection of the quick-con-
nect automatically connects the electronics
required for the Heads-Up Display (HUD).
2. The air cylinder is a composite construction
with an aluminum inner liner overwrapped by a
no metallic fiber, and has a maximum working
pressure of 4500 psig (high pressure) in 30-, 45-
and 60 minute durations; 2216 psig (low pressure)
in 30-minute duration; an all-aluminum cylinder
and Fiberglass composite hoop-wrapped or 3000
psig (low pressure) in 30-minute duration is
available.
B. First Stage Regulator
1. The first stage regulator contains:
• A pressure reducer.
• Primary low air alarm activation and
adjustment mechanisms.
• Intermediate pressure connections to the
second stage regulator and audible
alarm.
•High pressure connections to the HUD
transducer, remote pressure gauge,
and the universal air connection.
(See section G of this manual.)
2. The first stage regulator lowers cylinder
air pressure to a nominal 115 psig. The
relief valve activates to protect the system
when the regulator pressure exceeds 200
to 225 psig.
•ONLY grasp the cylin er valve han wheel to
open or close the valve; DO NOT pick up or
carry a cylin er by the han wheel, rop a
cylin er on the han wheel, or bump the
han wheel, as this may cause the cylin er
valve to ina vertently open, which may lea
to the cylin er becoming airborne un er the
thrust of air release from the open valve,
causing injury or eath. ALWAYS pick up an
carry an air cylin er by the cylin er bo y.
•Failure to comply with this Warning may lea
to personal injury, illness, or eath.
Not all components an accessories approve
for use on the Panther CBRN SCBA are
approve on the WARRIOR SCBA. You must
check the NIOSH approval label inserte with
this manual for components an accessories
approve for use on the WARRIOR SCBA.
Failure to comply with this Warning may lea
to personal injury, illness, or eath.

3. The first stage regulator is connected to a
plain whistle, a warbling whistle, or a bell
alarm. The alarm is located at the upper
left corner of the backpack, protected by
an impact-and thermal-resistant enclosure.
The low pressure SCBA audible alarm
activates at 510 to 598 psig (2216 psig
system), or 690 to 810 psig (3000 psig
systems); the high pressure SCBA audible
alarm activates at 1035 to 1215 psig
(4500 psig systems). The audible alarm
will continue to sound until the air pressure
drops below 200 psig.
1. The HUD is mounted on the second stage
regulator. When the second stage regulator
is installed in the TwentyTwenty Plus
facepiece, the display can be seen
through openings in the facepiece
nozzle cover. When the cylinder valve
is opened, the HUD will activate
automatically, and will indicate the air
pressure remaining in the cylinder. The
display consists of four green LEDs,
representing Full, 3⁄4,1⁄2, and 1⁄4. At full
cylinder pressure, all four LEDs are
illuminated. As the air pressure in the
cylinder decreases, the LEDs turn off one
at a time, thereby indicating the air
pressure status. When the pressure drops
below 50% of cylinder capacity, the LED
representing 1⁄2cylinder capacity starts to
flash, and continues to flash for a short
time (approximately 20 seconds) before
returning to continuously lit. When the
pressure drops to 1⁄4(25%) of cylinder
capacity, the last green LED turns red and
begins to flash, thereby giving the user a
visual alarm of low pressure in addition to
the audible alarm located at the upper
left of the backpack. On a 2216 psig
SCBA, the 1⁄4LED will turn red and begin to
flash between 510 and 598 psig; on a
3000 psig SCBA, the 1⁄4LED will turn red
and begin to flash between 690 and 810
psig; on a 4500 psig SCBA, the 1⁄4LED will
turn red and begin to flash between 1035
and 1215 psig. When the pressure drops
to 10% of cylinder capacity, the red LED
begins to flash noticeably faster and
continues flashing in this manner until air
pressure drops below approximately 200
psig, at which time the display will turn off.
No lighted LEDs represents zero air
pressure.
2. An external red LED, mounted on the front
of the HUD module, warns others of the
user’s low air status by flashing at the
same time the 1⁄4LED is flashing inside the
HUD module. The external red LED flashes
noticeably faster when the pressure drops
to 10% of the cylinder capacity. A red
LED at the upper right of the backpack
performs the same functions.
3. A photodiode is mounted externally on the
top of the HUD module. It senses ambient
light conditions and adjusts the intensity of
•You must use a CBRN facepiece when using
this SCBA in a potential or known CBRN con-
taminate atmosphere. Use of a facepiece other
than a CBRN facepiece will voi NIOSH CBRN
certification.
•If the low battery alert activates (amber LED
on the backpack-mounte trans ucer mo ule
an front PASS flashes every two secon s)
uring storage, or if the amber LED on the
backpack-mounte trans ucer mo ule an

batteries must be replace before using the
SCBA.
•Activation of the visual alarm (flashing re
LED) portion of the HUD may or may not
coinci e with the au ible alarm (i.e., whistle,
warbling whistle, or bell) on the SCBA. As
soon as the first alarm activates, PROCEED
IMMEDIATELY TO A SAFE AREA.
•You must have binocular vision (vision from
both eyes) to see an interpret the isplay
correctly. Your visual acuity while wearing the
facepiece must meet the requirements set forth
by the authority having juris iction over your
operation an /or work place.
•Failure to comply with this Warning may lea
to personal injury, illness, or eath.
C. Hea s-up Display (HUD)
NOTE
The WARRIOR SCBA comes equipped with a
Heads-Up Display (HUD).

WARRIOR™Operation Manual

the green HUD LEDs to match these
conditions. If the ambent light is bright, the
LEDs are in bright mode. In no-light or
low-light conditions, the LEDs are in dim
mode so that they are not distracting to
the user.
4. The transducer module on the backpack
and the front PASS have an amber LED
that acts as a battery status indicator.
When the SCBA is in storage (the cylinder
valve is not opened), the amber LED will
flash once every 10 seconds to indicate a
usable battery condition. The amber LED
flashes every two seconds to indicate a
low battery condition, and will cease
flashing altogether to indicate a dead
battery.
5. To replace the batteries, first remove the
protective rubber cap, then remove the
slotted battery cap located on the lower
right hand side (when looking at the
cylinder with the valve pointing down) of
the backpack, using a coin, a large, flat
blade screwdriver, or the male end of the
waist strap buckle; remove the old
batteries; install new batteries in the
orientation shown on the lower cover just
above the battery cap area; and replace
the cap. Screw the cap down until the
amber light on the battery status indicator
on the HUD transducer module begins to
flash. Reinstall the protective rubber cap.
D. Chest-mounte Gauge (Installe on
WARRIOR SCBA if no PASS evice is installe )
The chest-mounted pressure gauge is
mounted on the right shoulder strap and
may be swivelled 360° for easy viewing.
When the cylinder valve is opened, the
gauge indicates the air pressure remaining
in the cylinder.
E. Secon Stage Regulator
The pressure demand second stage
regulator is mounted on the facepiece by
the Sperian AIR KLIC™ system. The
mechanism automatically locks in place
when the regulator is pushed into the AIR
KLIC, and is detached when both of the
release buttons are pressed. To prevent
inadvertent air flow, the regulator will not
operate until the First-Breath-On mechanism
is activated or the manual override
button on the front of the regulator is
pressed. The flow of air can be stopped by
pressing the shutoff button. A large red
knob on the right side of the regulator
controls an adjustable bypass valve. Turning
this knob counterclockwise provides a
constant flow of air.
F. Facepiece
An impact to the secon stage regulator when
the cylin er valve is open may ina vertently
activate the First-Breath-On mechanism,
causing air to flow from the regulator an
iminishing the air in the cylin er. Failure to
comply with this Warning may lea to personal
injury, illness, or eath.
•If the battery alert in the HUD activates uring
actual use (amber LED at the lower right of the
isplay flashes once every secon ), the SCBA
may continue to be use . The batteries must be
replace before the next usage.

The WARRIOR SCBA includes a CBRN
TwentyTwenty Plus facepiece (2720XX). The
butyl rubber TwentyTwenty Plus facepiece
has a special wide-lip sealing surface and
five-point silicone headstrap harness or
optional Headnet™harness. The lens is
treated with an abrasion-resistant coating
on the outside surface of the lens, and a
permanent anti-fog coating on the inside of
the lens. The nozzle houses a removable
nose cup, speaking diaphragm, and
exhalation valve. The AIR KLIC is threaded
into the nozzle by a ratchet mechanism to
prevent leakage and provide a secure
mount for the second stage regulator.
G. Rapi Intervention Crew/Company
Universal Air Connection (RIC UAC)
NOTE
The WARRIOR SCBA comes equipped with the
Rapid Intervention Crew/Company Universal Air
Connection (RIC UAC).
1. The RIC UAC and fill hose (purchased
separately in the P/N 968970 RIT Kit)
provide a means for filling SCBA cylinders
during a rescue. An attendant/rescue
crew member must assist with the cylinder
filling.
2. The RIC UAC is located on the lower left
hand side (when looking at the cylinder
with the valve pointing down) of the
backpack. The RIC UAC is accompanied
by a relief valve located on the back of
the first stage regulator inside of the
backpack lower cover. The relief valve is
designed to vent air to atmosphere when
the fill pressure exceeds the cylinder
service pressure, in order to prevent
cylinder over-pressurization. The RIC UAC
has a dust plug which must be installed
over the coupling at all times before and
after filling operations. The RIC UAC fill
hose has the mating fill coupling. A
directional flow control piston is located in
the quick disconnect coupling to prevent
air loss and hose whipping if the hose is
installed incorrectly. The quick disconnect
coupling is supplied with dust plugs which
must be installed when the fill hose is not
in use.

A. Fit Test Instructions for Facepieces Use
with SCBA with NIOSH CBRN Certification
1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for
performing quantitative fit testing using
the Sperian 962900 APR adapter to
convert an SCBA facepiece to negative
pressure operation. Sperian recommends
that the Sperian P/N 962920
Quantitative Fit Test Adapter be used to
provide a means for drawing a sample
from the interior of the facepiece for the
fit test. This adapter has the advantage
of allowing the fit test to be performed
with the actual facepiece assigned to the
person tested. These instructions assume
the P/N 962920 is used for the fit test;
however, users may provide their own
means of sampling from the facepiece
and may use surrogate facepieces for fit
testing.
2. Applicable CBRN Facepieces
The Sperian facepieces approved for use
with CBRN-certified SCBAs, and
accessories approved for use with those
facepieces, are listed on page 15. A fit
test must be performed with either:
a. A facepiece equipped exactly like the
facepiece to be worn with the SCBA, or
b. A facepiece equipped with all of the
listed accessories, to simulate worst
case.
3. Facepiece Selection
Select a small, medium, or large
facepiece. Most people will achieve a
good fit with a medium size facepiece
and should try that size first. But if your
face is small or large, you may want to
start with a small or large size. You will
have the opportunity to check the seal
of the facepiece and to wear it for
several minutes (to determine comfort)
before the Quantitative Fit Test (QNFT) is
started.
•The respirator shoul not be use beyon six
(6) hours after initial exposure to chemical
warfare agents to avoi the possibility of agent
permeation.
•Prior to using the WARRIOR CBRN SCBA for the
first time, you must perform fit testing as
escribe below.
•Do not wear this respirator if a satisfactory fit,
as etermine by the fit testing escribe below,
cannot be obtaine .
•Failure to comply with this Warning may lea
to personal injury, illness, or eath.
VI. OPERATION
To ensure an a equate fit, each person who will
wear a CBRN-certifie SCBA must pass a quantitative
fit test with a minimum measure fit factor of
500 while wearing a facepiece of a size an
configuration exactly like the facepiece that will be
worn with the SCBA. To simulate the weight of the
secon stage regulator as use with an SCBA, use
the Sperian P/N 962900 APR A apter equippe
with Sperian 1050 P100 filters.
