Cylinder Attachment Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version 05

First Stage Reducer and Cylinder Connector The reducer is factory set and sealed and must not be tampered with Mechanical whistle Bronze sintered filter Reducer Anti-tamper disk Nitrile O-ring Cylinder Connector Reducer is made from nickel plated marine brass and has a ten - year service life. Designed to reduce the compressed air in the cylinder (200-300bar) down to 6-9 bar and can deliver 1000 l/min. At 20 bar it can deliver 550 l/min. At 10 bar it can deliver 300 l/min. Two outlet ports, one providing dual high and medium pressure air to Bodyguard 7000, and the other outlet providing medium pressure to LDV. Medium pressure port incorporates a pressure relief valve that operates between 11-16 bar and dumps 400 l/min. The dual pressure port (medium and high pressure) feeds the warning whistle unit (WWU) which activates at 55 (+/- 5 bar) and sounds at 90dBA. At the outlet end of the hose is a female quick release coupling (QRC) that is used to attach the male coupling of the lung demand valve (LDV). Dual High Pressure Port - Fitted to this port is the unique dual function hose assembly that incorporates the in-line whistle warning unit, (high pressure activated - medium pressure operated), and a high pressure (HP) contents gauge for the monitoring of the air pressure in the compressed air cylinder. Cylinder Connector Chrome plated marine quality brass. Contains a nitrile O-ring. Pivots to ease attachment to cylinder. 06 Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version

N A R U E D U C AT I O N C E N T R E B A I G U I D E Flow of Air Cylinder pressure of 300 bar flows through the anti-debris tube containing a sintered bronze filter and through the cylinder valve at a 90º angle into the pressure reducer which reduces velocity. The HP side of the system is protected by a choke screw that restricts the airflow to a maximum of 25 l/min if damage to supply hose occurs. HP air enters the reducer, closes and seals the piston of the whistle activation mechanism against the seat. This pressurises the capillary tube in the dual pressure hose and activates the pressure sensor of the Bodyguard - turning On the unit - passes into the piston bore - past the piston seat and pre-set plunger and into the MP chamber. As air is deflected across the plunger it is reduced to 6-9 Bar (passes from a small area to a larger area). As the pressure increases in the MP chamber, it forces the piston to move axially against the compression spring until the piston seat contacts the end face of the plunger - sealing off the high pressure air. On inhalation, from the LDV, the air is drawn from the medium pressure chamber and as the pressure reduces in the chamber, the compression spring retracts the piston - moving the piston seat from the end face of the plunger. The HP air then again begins to enter the medium pressure chamber - repeating the cycle. Consumption of air from the cylinder(s) reduces the available pressure, and at a pre-set pressure the compression spring in the whistle activation mechanism retracts the HP plunger from its sealing seat releasing air from the medium pressure chamber and into the whistle activation chamber. A pressure relief arrangement is incorporated in the pneumatics system at the MP outlet from the reducer. In the unlikely event of an HP leak into the MP side of the system, causing an over pressure, the relief valve will open between 11bar - 16bar to vent pressure This safety feature ensures that MP air is maintained to the LDV and subsequently to the wearer. When the wearer begins to inhale a negative pressure is created inside the facepiece and lung demand valve. -1 to -25 bar. Due to the negative pressure the ambient air pressure acts against the diaphragm. As the diaphragm deflects it then presses against the main hinged lever of the balanced piston unit resulting in the release of the positive pressure Off mechanism. Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version 07

Increasing deflection of the diaphragm, during inhalation, pivots the cam of the main lever against the secondary lever. The secondary lever then pivots and presses against the end cap of the piston - moving the piston axially against the conical spring - lifting the piston cone from its seating and releasing air from the lung demand valve into wearer s face piece. A compression spring attached to the front cover of the lung demand valve acts on the diaphragm, then the pivot levers and the conical compression spring, lifting the sealing cone and maintaining a positive pressure (above ambient) inside the face piece. When the wearer stops inhaling then begins to exhale, the diaphragm, pivot levers and sealing cone retract. This cycle repeats as the wearer begins to inhale. Hose Lines Non kinking, manufactured from EPDM ( Ethylene-Polpylene-Diene- Monomer ) rubber and re-enforced stitching. Medium pressure hose supplies 6-9 bar to the LDV and supplementary air attachment. They are flexible, have free head movement, will not collapse and will not restrict or close the air supply when trapped. Dual hose 200-300 bar from the reducer to the Bodyguard. Inside the outer EPDM rubber hose assembly; that attaches to the Bodyguard ; is a fine bore copper capillary tube that is coil-wound around a multi-strand length of phosphor bronze wire. The capillary tube and wire are then brazed to each of the end fittings of the capillary tube assembly. High pressure air flows through the bore of the capillary tube to the pressure gauge (or Bodyguard 7000) via a transducer and not through the rubber hose. The LPWW will activate at 55 bar +/- 5 bar and is louder than 90 dba. This uses 3.8 lpm of air. 08 Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version

N A R U E D U C AT I O N C E N T R E B A I G U I D E Supplementary Air Supply The PSS7000 is fitted with a secondary hose attachment to allow for further extension of the wearers air. Comprising of male and female connectors covered by protective caps. Male Connector Female Connector Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version 09

Lung Demand Valve Green/red button = reset (close circuit) Black button = depress activates free flow LDV manufactured from glass-filled nylon which provides a high degree of strength and durability. Rubber shroud covers the mechanism. Mechanism consists of a balanced piston assembly, banjo spindle spring lever and a silicon diaphragm (red button) or rubber (CBRN - green). Operates on first breath principle. Operating pressures: First breath = -1 to -25 m/bar Reduced into mask = 1 to 3.9 m/bar Activate exhalation valve = 4.2 to 5.7 m/bar Has a type A push-in connector to the face piece ( P connection). Able to deliver 500 LPM. Red/ Green button = reset (close circuit). Black button = (depress for supplementary air supply). Once connected to the front port of the facemask the LDV can rotate, accommodating changing orientations of the wearer. In addition, the medium pressure connection to the LDV by means of a swivelling banjo allows another degree of freedom. The end result is that the LDV and hose will remain streamlined with the body. The balanced piston assembly and banjo spindle spring lever work in conjunction to allow the flow of air dependant on the wearer inhaling or exhaling. 10 Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version

Bodyguard 7000 Digital Display Unit Bodyguard Key The Dräger Bodyguard 7000ET (Electronic Tally)) is an electronic monitoring unit which provides continuous monitoring of personal information and operational status of the Dräger PSS 7000 self-contained breathing apparatus and conforms to EN137. This multi-function system incorporates the following features for providing continuous monitoring of the BA set: Monitoring of available air pressure of the compressed air cylinder. Time to whistle (TTW). Visual - Light Emitting Diodes (LED s) Indicators. Hours of recorded info. Movement Sensor and Automatic Distress Signal Unit (ADSU) numeric display. Button activated manual Distress Signal Unit (DSU). Operation of running man. A backlight feature - illuminating the display. Personal ID - Optional, if enabled. The temperature monitoring facility is not present on the Bodyguard 7000. The tally version of the Bodyguard 7000 is switched On by the sensing of the system cylinder pressure of the SCBA. 14 Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version

N A R U E D U C AT I O N C E N T R E B A I G U I D E The Automatic Distress Signal Unit (ADSU) will sound if no motion detected for 21 25 secs. The sound increases in volume, and backlight flashes. If motion is sensed within a further 8 secs alarm is reset, if no motion is sensed, full alarm is activated and a high-pitched audible alarm emitted with two blue, and red LEDs flashing intermittently. The Distress Signal Unit (DSU) can be manually activated when a wearer requires assistance and is operated by pressing the yellow distress alarm button on the front of the Bodyguard. Incorporates electronic high pressure warning whistle. Power packs are available as either a pack containing 5 replaceable 1.5 Volt AA batteries, or as a single rechargeable 7.2 Volt Lithium Polymer battery pack. Comfort light (green) must be flashing to show that the ADSU is in operational mode. Blue light flashing means telemetry has been established. A short high pressure (HP) hose, routed from the HP sensor housing of the pressure transmitter unit, connects to the HP outlet of the pressure reducer of the SCBA. Yellow marking band indicates telemetry enabled. Dual High Pressure Port - Fitted to this port is the unique dual function hose assembly that incorporates the in-line whistle warning unit, (high pressure activated - medium pressure operated), and a high pressure (HP) contents gauge for the monitoring of the air pressure in the compressed air cylinder. The hose construction, although appearing similar to MP hoses, differs in its internal construction. Inside the outer EPDM rubber hose assembly is a fine bore copper capillary tube that is coil wound around a multi-strand length of phosphor bronze wire. The capillary tube and wire are then brazed to each of the end fittings of the capillary tube assembly. High pressure air flows through the bore of the capillary tube to the pressure gauge and not through the rubber hose. Constructed as part of the dual pressure hose assembly, and located at base of the pressure gauge, is the in-line whistle warning unit (WWU). The WWU provides an audible alarm signal that begins sounding when the available air remaining in the compressed air cylinder has reduced to a pre-set pressure. The released air enters the bore of the rubber hose (via the dual pressure port) and activates the in-line whistle warning unit. The pre-set pressure setting of the WWU may be adjusted by the user to meet special requirements. Extended Duration Breathing Apparatus (EDBA) Instructor Reference Guide - February 2018, Version 15

What is an EN number? The European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) develop and publish European Standards (EN). Standards are documents that set out specifications and other technical information with regard to various kinds of products, materials, services and processes. These standards provide a basis for mutual understanding among individuals, businesses, public authorities and other kinds of organisations. They facilitate communication, commerce, measurement and manufacturing. European Standards can be used to enhance safety and performance, improve energy efficiency, and protect consumers, workers and the environment. They complement European and national policies, and make it easier for businesses and other actors to respect relevant legislation. One European Standard replaces 34 national standards The Members of CEN are the National Standardisation Bodies of 34 European countries including all the member states of the European Union (EU) and other countries that are part of the European Single Market. European standards are developed by teams of experts who have particular knowledge of the specific sector or topic that is being addressed. Each National Standardisation Body that is part of the CEN system is obliged to adopt each European Standard as a national standard and make it available to customers in their country. They also have to withdraw any existing national standard that conflicts with the new European Standard. Therefore, one European Standard (EN) becomes the national standard in all 34 countries covered by CEN Members. National Ambulance Resilience Unit (NARU).
