3 Description
The Dräger PSS 7000 Series is a breathing apparatus that provides the
wearer with respiratory protection using an open-circuit, pressure-demand,
compressed-air system. The apparatus can be used as a self-contained
system, or with an independent air supply for supplied-air respirator (SAR)
operations. The series is compatible with Dräger compressed air cylinders
and the FPS
®
7000 face mask. The product includes the following
electronic monitoring systems:
● A Dräger Sentinel 7000 electronic monitoring system, with integral
PASS (personal alert safety system).
● A Dräger FPS
®
7000 wireless HUD (head-up display) unit.
3.1 Feature description
The carrying system has a carbon-composite backplate, with adjustable
shoulder harness and waist belt connected using quick release
connectors. The height of the backplate can be adjusted to one of three
preset heights to suit the body length of the wearer (short (S), medium (M)
and long (L)). The waist pad is connected at a flexible joint to compensate
for the twisting and bending of the user.
All variants use the same first-stage regulator (Fig A, Item 5) fitted with a
whistle that sounds at the end-of-service time (see Section 10 for the end-
of-service time indicator (EOSTI) activation pressures). The regulator
supplies medium-pressure breathing air through a medium-pressure
hose (Fig A, Item 6) and a quick coupling (Fig A, Item 2) to an attached
lung demand valve (second-stage regulator). Incorporated in the first-
stage regulator is a RIC UAC (rapid intervention crew universal air
connection) (Fig A, Item 4), which is a male coupling that allows
emergency refilling of the compressed air cylinder while wearer is
breathing from the apparatus.
The electronic system is the Sentinel 7000, which is a multi-function
system that continuously monitors the breathing apparatus status,
including cylinder pressure, movement of the wearer, and battery
condition. It provides visual indications of system status and audible and
visual alarms in warning conditions. The user interface has an electronic
LCD (liquid crystal display) screen (Fig B, Item 1), left (L) and right (R)
operating buttons, a manual alarm button (Fig B, Item 2), an LED
panel (Fig B, Item 3), and an internal alarm sounder. A backlight
illuminates the user interface display when required. An additional alarm
sounder (Fig A, Item 1), referred to as the “second sounder”, is mounted
on the backplate, with warning activation LEDs top and bottom. The
second sounder operates only during PASS alarms.
Personal identity information (e.g. user name, brigade name, station
number) can be stored in the user interface memory of the Sentinel 7000.
