DESCRIPTION
CARRIER AND HARNESS
The carrier consists of a backplate, a shroud to cover the
cylinder and first stage regulator, a cylinder strap with
buckle to hold the cylinder, and a harness, consisting of
shoulder straps, chest strap (optional), adjustable pull-
straps waist-strap, shoulder pads (optional), and belt
mounted regulator retainer.
LUMBAR PAD (OPTIONAL)
The lumbar pad with a flared design is designed to pro-
vide a cushion between the wearer and harness. The
flared design evenly distributes cylinder weight across the
wearer’s hips.
FACEPIECE
The facepiece is available in three sizes. The facepiece
has a low-resistance, pressure-demand exhalation valve
designed for easy cleaning. An inhalation check valve in
the inlet housing keeps moisture and contaminants out of
the mask mounted regulator. The facepiece has a speak-
ing diaphragm for clear, short range communication.
Only Ultra Elite Hycar facepieces (model numbers 7-935-
7, 7-935-8, and 7-935-9) have been tested against and
meet CBRN live agent test requirements. Silicone face-
pieces are NOT CBRN approved.
NIGHTFIGHTER HEADS-UP DISPLAY SYSTEM
NightFighter Heads-Up Display System is approved intrin-
sically safe and conforms to UL/ANSI 913 for use in Class
I, Div. I, Groups A thru D hazardous locations, temperature
rating T4.
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System allows a
user to clearly and easily see air cylinder volume while
wearing a NFPA compliant SCBA.
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System allows a
user to transfer the receiver from Ultra Elite Facepiece to
another NFPA 1981, 2002 Edition Ultra Elite Facepiece
Note:
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System can
only be used with an Ultra Elite Facepiece.
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System consists
of three (3) separate assemblies.
o Bracket assembly attached to an Ultra Elite
Facepiece.
o Receiver mounted on the bracket assembly.
o Transmitter assembled to the gauge line. (See
Installation Instruction P/N 10035581).
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System's Receiver
shows the user the air cylinder content in one quarter
cylinder increments, from a full cylinder to an empty
cylinder, by a LED light logic pattern.
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System's
Transmitter is assembled to the gauge line hose. The
transmitter sends a signal to the receiver (on the face-
piece) of the air cylinder content.
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System's Receiver
has seven (7) LED light patterns. (See Chart).
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System's Receiver
has a light sensor that automatically adjusts the
brightness of the LED based on the ambient light lev-
els measured outside of the facepiece.
•
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System's Receiver
will indicate a low battery by a Yellow LED light for the
receiver and transmitter. (See Chart).
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System operates
using two (2) standard AAA alkaline batteries in the trans-
mitter and two (2) standard AA batteries in the receiver.
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System notifies the
user when the batteries need to be replaced.
Use only Duracell MN2400, Energizer E92, or Eveready
A92 AAA alkaline batteries in the TRANSMITTER. Use
of other batteries, or a combination of batteries from
different manufacturers, will affect performance of unit
and will void the Intrinsic Safety approval.
Use only Duracell MN1500 or Energizer E91 AA alka-
line batteries in the RECEIVER. Use of other batteries,
or a combination of batteries from different manufac-
turers, will affect performance of unit and will void the
Intrinsic Safety approval.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
Note:
For older versions of the Nightfighter RECEIVER
containing AAA Alkaline batteries, use only Duracell
MN2400, Energizer E92, or Eveready A92. Use of other
batteries, or a combination of batteries from different
manufacturers, will affect performance of unit and will
void the Intrinsic Safety approval.
Note:
With system pressurized, quick press the operation
button on the transmitter. The transmitter will show cur-
rent pressure for ONLY 10 seconds.
•
The LED lights in the receiver will automatically adjust
for the brightness outside of the facepiece.
•
The receiver will indicate a Yellow LED light, after
going through the start-up sequence, if a low battery
condition is detected in the receiver or transmitter
(See Low Battery Warnings).
