OXYGEN
Indicating
When the ”SOURCE” selector is set to ”BAT” or ”GPU”, as soon as an oxygen
generator is activated, the ”OXYGEN” warning CAS message is displayed.
The warning CAS message remains displayed as long as used generator is
not replaced. Condition of the coloured band located around the generators
provides activated generator identification. Amber turning to black indicates
an used generator which will require removal according maintenance
manual instructions in order to replace it with a new one.

ITS EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE. FOR THAT REASON, KEEP ITS
PROTECTIVE SHIELD CLEAR
NOTE :
During inspection do not pull generator lanyard as it is not possible to stop
flow when activated.
Clean and inspect oxygen system at least once a year.
Pipe must be flexible. When mask is actuated, diaphragms must operate
freely. Using a clean cloth previously soaked with alcohol, clean and remove
all foreign material which may have accumulated.
