An indicating and control panel located in the cockpit overhead panel at the
disposal of the pilot includes :
-- a graduated pressure gage to permit checking the cylinder charge,
-- a two--position valve ON/OFF (”OXYGEN” switch) to permit the supply of
the front seats occupiers masks,
-- a two--position valve ON/OFF (”PASSENGERS OXYGEN” switch) with
guard to permit the supply of the passengers four masks, when the first
valve is open.
An altimetric valve provides an automatic passengers masks actuation
function at a cabin altitude between 13250 and 14750 ft.
Two pressure--demand type masks allowing quick donning with only one
hand, covering the nose and the mouth, as well as two pairs of smoke
goggles are at disposal of the pilot and of the R.H. front seat occupier. Masks
are installed in cups on the cabin walls aft of the front seats. Permanently
connected to the oxygen system, they are equipped with a micro controlled
by the switch (”NORMAL/MASK” micro inverter) under cover located on the
instrument panel near the pilot’s control wheel, with a three--position selector
”NORMAL”, ”100 %” and ”EMERGENCY” and with a push--button ”PRESS
TO TEST”. The proper flow is signaled by a flow indicator (blinker) into the
oxygen tubing.
The smoke goggles are stowed in the drawer of the cabinet at the rear of the
pilot.
Four passengers constant--flow type masks, covering the nose and the
mouth and permanently connected, are installed in two containers on the
cabin ceiling. The opening of these containers and the descent of the masks
are controlled by the pilot, when both switches at its disposal are set to ON, or
automatically at a cabin altitude between 13250 and 14750 ft with the
“OXYGEN” switch set to ON. The oxygen flow is obtained by pulling on the
mask bounded by a lanyard cord to a pin. A proper flow is signaled by the
filling of the green bag located on each passenger mask.
