REMOVING THE AIR MASK
may be recharged to 2216psig. (this applies to steel cylin-
ders only). Steel cylinders without the plus (+) sign
stamped after the latest test date must be removed from
service. All other cylinders which are not 3AA type shall
be filled to the designated service pressure only (as found
on the DOT approval or stamping). For cylinders manufac-
t
ured under a U.S. DOT exemption (i.e., DOT-E-#####),
the exemption should be consulted and is available from
t
he Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials
Safety, Research and Special Programs Administration,
U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 7th Street, SW,
Washington, D.C. 20590-0001.
Appropriately connect the cylinder to the filling system and
refill. Terminate the filling when the pressure reaches the ser-
vice pressure and allow the cylinder to cool to room temper-
ature. If necessary, top-off the cylinder such that the service
pressure is attained with the cylinder at a temperature of
70°F. Close the valves on the cylinder and the filling system
and remove the cylinder. Apply a leak solution to determine
if there is any leakage between the cylinder and the valve. If
there is no leakage, the cylinder is ready for use.
STORAGE
Do not store the apparatus or spare cylinders within or
near an area where the apparatus can or might be
exposed to any substances that will or might attack any
part of the apparatus, causing the apparatus NOT to per-
form as designed and approved.
Be careful not to drop cylinder or bump valve knob. An
unsecured cylinder can become an airborne projectile
under its own pressure if the valve is opened even
slightly. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.
Do not store the alarms for extended periods with the bat
-
teries installed. Do not store the apparatus with an empty
or partly filled cylinder. Always install a fully-charged cylin-
der so that the apparatus is r
eady for use. Complete
Inspection and Cleaning and Disinfecting Pr
ocedures out-
lined in this manual. Ensure the complete apparatus is
clean and dr
y
. Ensure the facepiece head harness adjust
-
ment straps ar
e fully extended. Place the complete appa-
ratus in the storage case or suitable storage location so it
can be easily reached for emer
gency use.
To store the NightFighter Heads-Up Display System com-
ponents, be sur
e that the unit is in the OFF (LED is not
illuminated) position. For prolonged storage, remove the
batteries to prevent battery corrosion. Store units in a
cool, dr
y place.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
In continuous service, battery life will vary depending on
user conditions. The battery is not rechargeable.
Use only Duracell MN2400, Energizer E92 AAA alkaline
batteries in the TRANSMITTER. Use of other batteries,
or a combination of batteries from different manufac-
turers, will affect performance of the unit and will void
t
he intrinsic safety approval. Failure to follow this
warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
1. Unfasten the transmitter shroud strap(s).
2. Slide the shroud off the transmitter to expose the bat-
tery door screws.
3. Loosen the screws to open the battery door.
4. Insert two AAA batteries according to the battery ori-
entation noted inside the compartment.
5. Close the battery door and tighten the screws.
6. Slide shroud cover and transmitter and fasten the
strap(s).
• Use only Duracell MN1500 or Energizer E91 AA
alkaline batteries in the RECEIVER. Use of other
batteries, or a combination of batteries from differ-
ent manufacturers, will affect performance of the
unit and will void the intrinsic safety approval.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious
personal injury or death.
• In older versions of the NightFighter RECEIVER
containing AAA alkaline batteries use only Duracell
MN2400, Energizer E92, or Eveready A92. Use of
other batteries, or a combination of batteries from
different manufacturers, will affect the perfor-
mance of the unit and will void the intrinsic safety
approval.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
1. Loosen the screws to open the battery door in the
receiver.
2. Insert two AA batteries according to the battery orien-
tation notes inside the receiver compartment.
3. Ensure the battery cover gasket is free of debris and
not damaged or missing.
4. Close the battery door and tighten the screws.
Battery Disposal/Recycling
Dispose of or recycle batteries in accordance with all
applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Do not dispose of the battery in fire. It may explode.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
