Troubleshooting
Should a not allowed leak occur, generate a positive pressure inside the mask. Locate the
leak by using leak detection spray.
Tip: The test head can be fully disconnected in order to easily locate any leakage by putting
the test head under water.
Troubleshooting
Should a not allowed leak occur, test the mask and the breathing valve separately to locate
the leak by using tests “5.3 Leak test of S breathing valve” and “5.4 Opening pressure of
exhalation valve in S mask”.
5.3 Leak test of S breathing valve
1. Connect the breathing valve to the Test connection (3) with Adapter hose ST-P49 (G)
and Adapter breathing valve #1 (M).
2. For First breath version: Manually activate (ON) the positive pressure lever on the
breathing valve.
3. Put Rubber plug (J) in the breathing valve’s hose connection (inlet).
4. Create a negative pressure of -10 mbar on the Low pressure gauge (2) by pressing
the Vacuum pump button (10) and the Negative pressure button (14) at the same
time.
5. Start the stop watch and after 15 seconds record the value on the Low pressure
gauge (2) and compare with the required test value.
6. Remove the Rubber plug (J) from the breathing valve.
7. Disconnect Adapter hose ST-P49 (G) and Adapter breathing valve #1 (M) from the
Test connection (3).
Troubleshooting
The test must be conducted with a dry exhalation valve (in breathing valve).
5.4 Opening pressure of exhalation valve in S mask
1. Connect Test adapter BV P/Divator (I) and Adapter for breathing resistance (L) to the
Test connection (3).
2. Remove the breathing valve from mask, if fitted.
3. Connect the Adapter for breathing resistance (L) to the mask.
4. Create a positive pressure in the mask by pressing the Vacuum pump button (10) and
the Exhalation button (15).
5. Read the opening pressure of exhalation valve on the Low pressure gauge (2) and
record it in the test protocol.
6. Disconnect Test adapter BV P/Divator (I) with Adapter for breathing resistance (L)
from the mask and from the Test connection (3).
