uSe of The AuTomATic TrAnSfer feATure

Before entering the area requiring respiratory protection, test the Au-

tomatic Transfer feature of the SKA-PAK AT respirator as follows:

1.  Breathe  normally  from  the  respirator  supplied  by  the  air  supply 

hose.

2.  Check that the air supply cylinder gauge is reading "FULL".

3.   Check that the red purge valve on the facepiece mounted regula-

tor is closed (fully clockwise and pointer on knob up).

4. 

oPen  The  cylinder  vAlve

  by  turning  the  valve  knob  to  the 

full counterclockwise position. This will require approximately 2

/

complete rotations of the cylinder valve knob. The ELECTRONIC 

alarm shall flash both lights for approximately five seconds to ini-

tialize and stop. The cylinder pressure gauge on the ELECTRONIC 

alarm shall read "FULL". The VIBRALERT shall NOT actuate and 

breathing shall continue normally.

5.  To  test  the Automatic  Transfer,  briefly  disconnect  the  air  supply 

hose  from  the  airline  connection  hose.  The  SKA-PAK  AT  shall 

begin  to  supply  air  from  the  air  supply  cylinder  and  actuate  the 

VIBRALERT end of service time indicator.

6.  Immediately reconnect the air supply hose to the airline connection 

hose. Air shall be supplied to the respirator from the air supply hose 

and the SKA-PAK AT shall cease supplying air from the cylinder. 

The VIBRALERT end of service time indicator shall stop. 

Perform 

this test quickly to maintain supply of air in cylinder

.

7.  If  the  ELECTRONIC  alarm  RED  light  begins  to  flash  during  or 

after  the  above  test,  check  both  the  gauge  on  the  air  supply 

cylinder  and  the  pressure  gauge  on  the  ELECTRONIC  alarm.  If 

the  cylinder  has  dropped  below  90%  (+/-5%)  of  full  volume,  the 

ELECTRONIC alarm RED light will continue to flash. Replace the 

air supply cylinder with a "FULL" cylinder before entering the area 

requiring respiratory protection.

8.  During use of the respirator in the hazardous atmosphere, if the 

VIBRALERT actuates at any time or the ELECTRONIC alarm RED 

light begins to flash, IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE HAZARDOUS AT-

MOSPHERE AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ALARM.

noTe

IF  THE  AIR  SUPPLY  SYSTEM  IS  INCAPABLE  OF  MAINTAINING 

THE REQUIRED PRESSURE AND FLOW TO THE SKA-PAK AT, THE 

VIBRALERT MAY ACTUATE INTERMITTENTLY. IF THE VIBRALERT 

END OF SERVICE TIME INDICATOR ACTUATES FOR ANY REASON, 

LEAVE  THE  HAZARDOUS  ATMOSPHERE  AND  DETERMINE  THE 

CAUSE OF THE ALARM.
