Safety information
WARNING: READ THE SAFETY INFORMATION FULLY BEFORE USING THE
ASPIDA.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES WHILE THE
DEVICE IS INSIDE THE HYPERBARIC CHAMBER.
High volume audible alarm
The Aspida employs high volume warning alarms with a sound pressure level at 1m of 95dB in the
case of normal gas alarms, and up to 110dB in the case of the man-down alarm.
As the man-down sounder is disabled by default when supplied but may be user enabled, care
should be taken to minimise exposure to the sounder. The Aspida unit should always be worn
away from the head in order to minimise close range exposure to the alarm.
WARNING: THE 110DB MAN-DOWN ALARM CAN, WHEN ENABLED, BE
MANUALLY ACTIVATED AT ANY TIME BY HOLDING THE
BUTTON IF THE PANIC ALARM IS CONFIGURED TO BE
AVAILABLE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO ACTIVATE THIS
ALARM WHEN THE ASPIDA UNIT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
THE EARS.
Electrochemical oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensor used in the
Aspida is an electrochemical sensor which contains potassium
hydroxide. Under normal conditions the sensor is sealed. To prevent leakage, the unit must not be
exposed to temperatures outside the specified range, or be exposed to organic vapours, which
may cause physical damage to the body of the sensor. The unit must not be stored in areas
containing organic solvents or in flammable liquid stores.
