emergency uSe Procedure 

IF  CONDITIONS  IN  THE  WORKPLACE  REQUIRE  EMERGENCY 

EVACUATION  during  respirator  use,  the  preferred  procedure  is  to 

egress with respirator connected to the air supply hose following the 

path  taken  during  entry  into  the  workplace.  If  it  becomes  necessary 

to disconnect the respirator from the air supply hose for egress—for 

instance,  if  the  hose  is  entangled  or  if  it  is  necessary  to  exit  by  a 

different  route—the  user  shall  disconnect  the  hose  and  immediately 

leave the area requiring respiratory protection. The VIBRALERT end of 

service time indicator alarm shall actuate indicating that the respirator 

user is now breathing from the air supply cylinder. The ELECTRONIC 

alarm RED light shall actuate when the air supply in the cylinder has 

dropped below 90% (+/-5%) of "FULL".

IF  EITHER  THE  VIBRALERT  END  OF  SERVICE  TIME  INDICATOR 

OR  THE  ELECTRONIC ALARM ACTUATES AT ANY  TIME  DURING 

RESPIRATOR USE, leave the area requiring respiratory protection im-

mediately. Actuation of the VIBRALERT means that the air supply has 

been  interrupted  and  is  no  longer  providing  the  necessary  pressure 

to operate the respirator. Actuation of the ELECTRONIC alarm RED 

light  means  that  the  air  supply  cylinder  has  been  depleted  to 

90% (+/-5%) of full volume. Actuation of the ELECTRONIC alarm 

LOW BATTERY YELLOW light means the battery must be changed. 

In any case, the user must leave the hazardous area immediately.

TOR  IS  A  PRESSURE  DEMAND  OPEN  CIRCUIT  TYPE  BREATHING 

APPARATUS.  DURING  USE,  AIR  SHALL  FLOW  FREELY  INTO  THE 

FACEPIECE  DURING  INHALATION  ONLY,  AND  AIR  SHALL  CEASE 

FLOWING  AT  ALL  OTHER  TIMES.  IF  AIR  CONTINUES  TO  FLOW 

FROM THE BREATHING REGULATOR AFTER INHALATION CEASES, 

THE  PURGE  VALVE  (RED  KNOB  ON  REGULATOR)  MAY  BE  OPEN 

OR  THE  FACEPIECE  MAY  NOT  BE  SEALING  AGAINST  THE  FACE. 

IF ExCESS AIR FLOW IS NOTICED DURING ESCAPE, CHECK THAT 

THE PURGE VALVE IS CLOSED (ROTATED FULL CLOCKWISE WITH 

POINTER  ON  KNOB  UPWARD)  AND  THAT  THE  FACEPIECE  HAS 

BEEN  DONNED  PROPERLY  AND  TIGHTENED  PROPERLY  WHILE 

CONTINUING YOUR ESCAPE.

normally. When breathing from the air supply cylinder, 

the  VIBRALERT  end  of  service  time  indicator  shall  continue  to 

actuate. 

2.

ing all precautions and procedures of your respiratory protection 

program. 

4.   When in a safe breathing atmosphere, doff the facepiece accord-

ing to the instructions under TERMINATION OF USE. 

5.   Close  the  cylinder  valve  by  pushing  in  and  rotating  the  cylinder 

valve knob full clockwise. 

6.   Remove the respirator from service and tag for charging, inspec-

tion and cleaning.
