SIGMA 2

The first breath version can be shut by
pressing a reset button on the DV and
opens when the wearer takes the first
breath. This permits the DV to be removed
from the face-piece while the cylinder valve
is open, without loss of cylinder air.
The bypass provides a constant flow of air
in the unlikely event that the regulator
malfunctions in a ‘no flow’ mode.
The bypass is opened by turning the knob
through 90°. As use of the bypass
consumes cylinder air rapidly, it must only
be used to escape from the hazardous
area.
