The AV-3000 HT Facepiece is made of heat resistant materials. When using
the AV-3000 HT Facepiece in applications where high heat may occur,
follow all training and operating procedures relating to heat exposure. To
avoid possible injury, the respirator user must understand the hazards
of heat exposure including temperature, duration and repeat exposure.
The removable pressure-demand breathing regulator mounts directly to
the facepiece and is equipped with an Air Saver/Donning Switch and a
red Purge Knob.
All models of the AIR-PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE SCBA respirator are equipped
with the VIBRALERT alarm in the facepiece mounted regulator. The
VIBRALERT alarm serves two functions: as an end of service time indicator
and to alert the user of a malfunction in the dual path pressure reducer. In
normal operation, the VIBRALERT alarm vibrates the breathing regulator
and facepiece to warn the user by both sound and feel that approximately
33% of full cylinder pressure remains. In addition, if the primary air path of
the pressure reducer becomes blocked or should fail closed, the secondary
air path will automatically begin supplying air to the breathing regulator and
the VIBRALERT alarm will be actuated to warn the user of the malfunction.
The HEADS-UP DISPLAY is an independent end of service time indicator
alarm attached to the facepiece mounted regulator and is standard on
respirators required to have two independent redundant alarms. The
HEADS-UP DISPLAY provides a visual monitor of the air supply with
four lights that appear just below the facepiece field of vision. A separate
low battery light warns the user that the batteries must be replaced. The
HEADS-UP DISPLAY detects cylinder pressure directly and is totally
independent of the VIBRALERT.
Whenever any end of service indicator alarm or alarms actuate, the user
must leave the area requiring respiratory protection immediately.
This respirator is tted with a Rapid Intervention Crew/Company Universal Air
Connection (RIC UAC) System which permits emergency replenishment of an
approved SCBA breathing air supply cylinder from an approved air supply source
while in use. This is not a Quick Charge attachment and must not be used for routine
recharging of the cylinder, for “buddy breathing”, for transferring air from another
SCBA cylinder, or any unapproved use. The RIC UAC is for emergency use only
when the respirator user is incapacitated within the hazardous atmosphere.
Batteries are required for the proper operation of this equipment. Refer
to the BATTERY REPLACEMENT section of this instruction for details of
installation.
WARNING
THE AV-3000 HT FACEPIECE IS MADE OF
HEAT RESISTANT MATERIALS. WHEN USING
THE AV-3000 HT FACEPIECE, FOLLOW ALL
TRAINING AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
RELATING TO HEAT EXPOSURE. THE
RESPIRATOR USER MUST UNDERSTAND
THE HAZARDS OF HEAT EXPOSURE
INCLUDING TEMPERATURE, DURATION,
AND REPEAT EXPOSURE. FAILURE TO DO
SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
