FIELD OF APPLICATION

1.1 Application
SK breathing apparatus are to be used as personal rescue pieces of equipment wherever dangerous situations may occur due to
fire fumes or lack of oxygen. The apparatus is very light and can be carried along by an operator for long periods, as an entire work
shift, so that it is at any time ready for use in case of accident. SK 1203 model with a steel cylinder weighs more than 5 kg and
therefore cannot be worn continuously throughout the work shift.
1.2 Limits and warnings
Always read these instructions before use. Strictly follow the instructions given here as well as the national regulations in force
during use. SK breathing apparatus shall not be used for maintenance or work, even for a short period, nor for rescue operations
or underwater work. Although the bag has antistatic characteristics as required by the reference technical standards, the
equipment has not been designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
1.3 Duration
The 2 litres 300 bar cylinder allows an autonomy greater than 15 minutes at a constant flow; the designation of the equipment is
EN 1146/15.
1.4 End of use
During use the wearer can check residual autonomy by the pressure indicator. Once air supply finishes, the wearer can breathe
the surrounding air through a valve that comes into action automatically. At this time the wearer shall be away from the hazardous
area.
2 DESCRIPTION AND WORKING PRINCIPLE
SK breathing apparatus consists of a hood connected to a compressed air cylinder through a medium pressure hose. It is stored
ready for use in its transport bag and is activated automatically when the bag is opened.
SK comprises (see Figure 1):
•
Pressure reducer (1)
•
Air Cylinder (2)
•
Breathing hood (3)
•
Pressure reducer – hood connector hose (4)
•
Storing and carrying bag (5)
2.1 Pressure reducer (1)
Made up of a moulded, chromed-plated brass alloy body, it holds the pressure reducing devices that, when opened, permit a
constant average air supply (35 l/min) for the duration of the cylinder reserve and maintain a positive pressure inside the hood
avoiding the dioxide carbon accumulation.
On the reduction unit there are:
•
Pressure indicator (a)
•
Quick opening device (b)
•
Air hose attachment (c)
•
Safety valve (d)
•
Cylinder refilling valve (e)
2.1.1 Pressure indicator (a)
The pressure indicator has a dial with notches every 50 bars; between 0 and 10 bar is coloured red, to indicate that the air reserve
is running out and you still have about 30 seconds of autonomy; between 10 bar and 290 bar is coloured in yellow and indicates
the normal supply of air; between 290 bar and 340 is coloured green, to indicate the full charge of the device. It is designed to
withstand a pressure of at least 50 bar above the maximum filling pressure of the cylinder and operates independently of the
cylinder closure device.
2.1.2 Quick opening device (b)
The quick opening device consists of closing blocks which automatically unlock with the removal of the latch secured to the hose;
the disengagement of the blocks activates the air supply.
