RIC UAC: More on this connection port will be discussed in the RIT Pack Presentation.
RIC UAC without
Cover On
Heads Up Display (HUD): allows for continuous monitoring of air supply:
o At full air supply – 2 green lights o At ¾ air supply – 1 green light o At ½ air supply – 1 yellow flashing light o At ¼ air supply – 1 red flashing light with
vibra-alert activation o Orange light on the right of HUD will flash
only when the HUD batteries are low • 6 AA batteries = approximately 80 hrs. of
service life
Donning • Ensure all straps are fully extended and not tangled • Place SCBA on the ground (or hold in front of your
body while standing), cylinder down, harness up, with cylinder valve away from body
• Open cylinder valve completely (you should hear 3 chirps to indicate your SCBA is on)
• Grasp Wireframe at the center with both hands • Lift SCBA above head and bend forward • Lay SCBA on back, with arms inside shoulder straps • Tighten shoulder straps down as you straighten up • Fasten waist strap and adjust to your waist size
Donning (Cont’d) • Don your AV-Series mask • Slide hood over mask and put helmet on • Hold regulator with red purge valve at the 12 o’clock
position over your mask • Place regulator over mask and make quarter turn
counterclockwise until regulator tab clicks in • Take one rapid breath to begin air flow and then
begin breathing normally • Ensure HUD indicator lights are on and displaying 2
green lights (if cylinder is full)
Doffing • Remove regulator from your facepiece by using release
tab and depressing saver switch simultaneously • Fully extend all straps (shoulder and waist) • Unclip waist strap and remove from shoulders • Turn off cylinder valve completely • Bleed all air from the system by opening purge valve
(keep open until vibra-alert briefly activates) • Press yellow multi-function button on control console
twice to turn unit off (you may hear a few chirps before unit beeps to indicate it is off)
• If the unit does not turn off ensure cylinder valve is closed and all air is truly relieved from the system
Maintenance: General End User Maintenance • Changing batteries
o Turn screw in battery cover counterclockwise o Remove cover (screw will remain set in cover) o Remove all old batteries and replace with new
ones o Once batteries are replaced and cover is
re-secured, turn on airpack to inspect that HUD is functioning
Maintenance (cont’d): • Ensure coupling gasket is in place and replace as
needed • Clean all components with manufacturer
recommended cleaning components
Inspection: • Inspect harness and wireframe (look for warn or
fraying straps) • Inspect your AV-series facepiece for cracks in the lens
or in the face seal and missing components (check nose seal, voicemitters, head harness, etc.)
• Inspect cylinder: o 1st remove cylinder from Airpack o Check hydro date (5 years on Carbon Fiber),
inspect valve, threads, gauge and outside wrap for cuts, deformities, etc.
Inspection (Cont’d): • Place cylinder back in airpack to continue inspection • Begin with E-Z Flo regulator:
o Check for deformities throughout regulator and hose
o Ensure purge valve is off o Ensure air saver switch is depressed o Connect regulator to a facepiece
• Remove regulator quick disconnect hose coupling and then reconnect to ensure ease of connection point
Inspection (Cont’d): • Before turning on the airpack, activate manual pak
alert by hitting red button once to ensure it is functional (hit yellow button twice to clear)
• Inspect control console and cables for cracks or breaks
• Check battery level: o Press and hold yellow multi-function button o If a green button flashes on control console
batteries check okay o If the light is red or does not display, batteries do
not have sufficient power
Inspection (Cont’d): • Open cylinder valve while listening and looking for
the following: o Regulator vibra alert alarm (short activation) o Pack alert will sound 3 short chirps o All 5 lights on HUD will illuminate
• Check Control Console to ensure: o Gauge is reading at full o Green light is flashing
Inspection (Cont’d): • Connect regulator to facepiece and check the
following: o Place mask to face and inhale sharply to begin
breathing air o Press air saver switch and remove from face o Check purge valve to ensure air will flow freely
Inspection (Cont’d): • Ensure HUD & vibra alert respond to no air:
o Shut down cylinder and place mask over face o breathe down all air in the system o HUD should respond to no air and vibra alert
should activate
Inspection (Cont’d): • Leave airpack motionless for 10 seconds to allow
pak alert to begin pre-alarm cycle, shake airpack to ensure motion will stop the alarm
• Again leave airpack motionless, now for 30 seconds, and allow pak alert to go into full alarm o Clear out this alarm by pressing yellow
multi-function button twice
Inspection (Cont’d): • Follow turn off instructions in the operation section
of this presentation • If any issues are found in performing your airpack
inspection tag the airpack as needing repair and ensure it is serviced by a Certified Scott Safety Technician
