USE
FENZY BIO-S-CAPE apparatuses must only be authorised for use if they have been periodically maintained in accordance with these
instructions.
For safety reasons, it is recommended to perform a visual check of the cylinder pressure of the FENZY BIO-S-CAPE as part of regular
inspection rounds.
Operating conditions for the apparatus
-15°C to +60°C
Rapid checks before use
•
Ensure that at 15°C the continuous cylinder pressu re indicator displays a pressure matching the cylinder's maximum filling
pressure.
•
If the displayed pressure is lower, do not use the apparatus because its supply time would be less. The apparatus must be
checked and refilled.
•
Check that the closure seal on the carrying bag is not damaged or broken. If it is, do not use the FENZY BIO-S-CAPE.
Putting on the apparatus
Never use an apparatus with a damaged seal.
•
Put the strap of the FENZY BIO-S-CAPE around the neck. (figure 4)
•
Open the bag while holding it with one hand, using the other to pull the handle. The seal is broken automatically. (figure 5)
•
The pressure reducing valve is activated automatically and the air contained in the cylinder is immediately released to flow
continuously into the hood. (figure 6)
•
Take the respiratory hood out of the bag and check that breathing air is reaching it and the cushion. (figure 7)
- If air is not entering the hood or the cushion, ensure that the pin of the pressure reducer is out of the cylinder head and pull
on the cylinder head. (figure 8)
•
Put the hood on as follows:
- To put on the hood, put the palms of your hands together and put your hands through the rubber seal that keeps the hood
sealed against the neck. Then pull your hands apart to open the hood. (figure 9)
- Make sure that finger nails or rings do not tear the neck seal and that clothing or hair are not caught in the seal. (figure 10)
- Make sure that the internal mouth and nose half mask covers the wearer's nose and mouth.
•
Breathe normally, and leave the hazardous area by heading towards the safest place or to the emergency exit. (figure 11)
Use
•
While using the FENZY BIO-S-CAPE, breathe normally and check the continuous cylinder pressure indicator periodically.
•
Be careful not to snag the hood's air supply hose, which could tear the hood off. Do not strike the apparatus.
•
The warning whistle sounds until all the breathing air in the cylinder is used up.
Never keep the FENZY BIO-S-CAPE on the head if the noise of air arriving in the hood is not
clearly audible or if the cylinder is empty.
After use
•
Take off the breathing hood.
•
Take off the FENZY BIO-S-CAPE.
To take off the hood, insert your thumbs inside the neck seal and remove the hood.
Never let go of the Breathing Apparatus or drop it on the ground.
•
The routine maintenance operations described below must be performed by personnel qualified and authorised by HONEYWELL.
