It is strictly recommended to use a specially designed DEZEGA
WAIST BELT.
WARNING!
If self-rescuer is damaged the oxygen-containing product can
cause ignition of coal, wood or other flammable materials.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The starter 15 is activated when the Ci-30 is opened by removal of the lid 16. The starter releases
oxygen, heat and moisture. Oxygen fills breathing bag 13 and provides the user with oxygen to
breathe before heat and moisture from exhaled breath activate the oxygen-generating cartridge
with KO
2
.
The mouthpiece plug 6 is released from the mouthpiece when breathing hose 4 and breathing
bag 13 are pulled out.
The Ci-30 has a pendulum scheme of airflow. Breathing air passes through the mouthpiece 2 and
heat and moisture exchanger 3 via the breathing hose from the KO
2
cartridge to the breathing
bag and backwards. Chemical product (КО
2
) in the cartridge absorbs carbon dioxide (СО
2
) and
moisture from the exhaled breath and emits oxygen. Surplus breathing gas is expelled via relief
valve 14.
The absorption of carbon dioxide and production of oxygen by the KO
2
is exothermic (producing
heat). This temperature increase will be noticed by the wearer on the casings and in the inhaled
breath. Warming is a sign of the normal operation of the self-rescuer, and should be expected.
A moisture indicator 17 is located on the lid of the self-rescuer. If the indicator has changed color
from blue to pink, the case seal has been damaged and the self-rescuer should be withdrawn from
service and not used.
WARNING!
The self-rescuer is for single use only.
