3.Regulator Function
100% Mode
The regulator is switched to different
modes using a rotating knob.
A double cross check allows the user’s
colleagues to know in which mode the
regulator is in.
• This mode is used during the stowage and the donning.
• It allows the user to breathe 100% oxygen.
• To activate the 100% mode, turn the rotating knob to the “100%”
position.
Normal Mode
• This mode must be used when pre-
breathing is performed or after emergency
descent, when diversion altitude is
reached.
• It allows the user to breathe a mixture of
ambient air and oxygen.
• To activate the Normal mode, turn the
rotating knob to the “N” position.
Emergency Mode
• In Emergency mode the regulator
supplies an oxygen overpressure.
• It prevents smoke and harmful gases from
entering into the mask, allowing the user
to breathe safely.
• To use the Emergency mode, turn the
rotating knob to the “EMGCY” position.

If the mask regulator is
equipped with this function,
an ON/OFF selector is
available either on the radio
cord
…or inside the stowage box.
Harness Comfort-Control Function

“O2SaverTM” mode can be activated by pushing
the “O2SaverTM” button.
In doing so, the oxygen supply stops and only
ambient air is breathed, hence oxygen is saved.
• This function is automatically disabled if the regulator mode is changed or in
event of depressurization .
• It also may be manually deactivated by pulling the O2SaverTM button.
