After Use

4.1 When S-Cap-Air has been worn but
not operated:
1. Examine the apparatus for any signs of dam-
age. Damaged parts shall be replaced or sent
for service.
2. Check that the cylinder is fully charged and
the anti-tamper tag is intact. If not, send the
apparatus for service / charging.
3. Clean the bag if necessary.
4. Replace the apparatus to its storage point.
4.2 When S-Cap-Air has been worn and
operated:
1. Caution: Do not immerse the device
2. Remove the hood and supply hose from the
regulator
3. Clean the internal and the external surface of
the hood with a damp cloth and a Sanitizing
Wipe. Dry the above with a soft lint free cloth.
4. Clean the inner mask with a mild disinfectant
sanitizing wipe.
5. Recharge the cylinder as described under

Charging.

6. Demisting Solution [Part No. D2260 700] is
available to polish the visor if this is necessary
7. Pack the apparatus as described under

Packing.

8. Replace the apparatus in its storage point.
5 Charging
Note! Air used to charge cylinders must conform
to EN 12021 or USCGA grade D (or bet-
ter). High pressure compressors and
charging apparatus must only be used by
trained operators and all safety procedures
must be observed.
1. Break the tamper proof tag (if necessary) and
open the zipper on the bag to its full length.
2. Uncover the valve arrangement and check
that the firing pin is in place [the head of the
pin should be on the same side as the outlet
port] when the cap is tightly screwed into valve
closed position.
3. Remove the dust cap from the charging port
on the cylinder valve
4. Connect to a suitable [200 bar] supply using
any necessary adapters and charge the cylin-
der to 207 bar.
5. When the cylinder is full close the supply valve
of the charging system to the S-Cap-Air and
vent the connection to atmosphere.
Open the valve by turning the cap counter-
clockwise until the airflow starts, then immedi-
ately close the valve until the airflow just
stops. Now turn the cap clockwise 45° ± 15°.
Check the position of the firing pin. The head
of the pin should still be on the same side as
the outlet port. If this is not the case quickly
slacken the cap, remove the pin and replace it
in the correct orientation. Close the valve until
the airflow just stops and then turn the cap
clockwise 45° ± 15°.
Attention: Turning the cap through an angle
of approx. 45° is done to ensure that ade-
quate, air tight sealing of the valve is
achieved. Turning the cap through greater an-
gles may result in excessively high pull out
forces for the firing pin.
Check the cylinder pressure and top up if nec-
essary. Topping up will not normally be re-
quired.
6. Remove any charging adapters used. The
cylinder pressure gauge reading (cylinder at
room temperature) must be clearly in the
green section.
7. Replace the dust cap on the charging port.
8. Complete the packing of the S-Cap-Air as de-
scribed below.
6 Packing
1. Once the cylinder is fully charged the dust cap
must be replaced on the charging port. The re-
connected hood is packed by laying the hose
along the top of the cylinder away from its con-
nection point towards the closed end of the
zipper and then laying the hood back towards
the regulator, it should not reach the regulator
if packed correctly.
2. Connect the clip at the end of the strap to the
firing pin and check that the strap is not tan-
gled and is free to move. The strap lays on top
over the packed hood.
3. Ensuring that no material is trapped in the
teeth close the zip until it is passed the break
point in the zip teeth, holding the hood in
place, keeping the loop in the strap out side
the bag
4. Make sure that the pressure gauge is read-
able through the bag window [you should not
see the hood].
5. Fold the flap over and feed the strap loop
through it to trap it.
6. Feed the anti tamper tag through the eyelets
in the bag and flap but under the strap loop
and close the tag. Adjust the size of the tag
loop such that it is as small as possible but still
slightly loose. The tag should not be under
tension.
7. The S-Cap-Air is now in its ready for use state.
(When the firing strap is pulled the tamper
proof tag breaks.The firing pin is pulled from
the cylinder valve, airflow commences and the
zipper opens.)
