12. Maintenance
12.1 SCBA mask
12.2 Batteries
12.3 SCBA
12.4 Head mounted display (HMD)
12.5 Heat suit
The half facemask should be removed from the SCBA backplate and regulator
assembly after each use and cleaned as per departmental decontamination standard
operating procedures. Ensure that the mask is thoroughly dry before re-attaching to
the FLAIM Trainer system as damage to the breath detection system can occur.
Batteries should be charged after use and should never be left connected to the SCBA
sets for extended periods. Batteries should be inspected before and after use and
disposed of and replaced if swelling, cuts, nicks or damage to the pack is detected.
The batteries used by FLAIM Trainer are high capacity and should be treated with
respect. Lithium Polymer batteries if punctured or treaded incorrectly can cause fire
and injury.
Straps and the harness should be stowed appropriately before putting on to ensure
longevity of the SCBA backpack.
The HMD should never be left hanging from its cord as damage can occur. The HMD
is robust but should only be cleaned with lens wipes as use of a cloth to clean lenses
may scratch them and distort imagery.
The heat suit system may be hand washed after the removal of the electronics box
and heating pads.
FLAIM Trainer has no user serviceable parts inside and if a subsystem is damaged or
fails to operate as expected, please contact your nearest FLAIM distributor or agent for
replacement components.
