S - SPECIAL OR CRITICAL USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Approved for use at temperatures above -25°F. Approved
only when the compressed-air container is fully charged
with air meeting the r
equirements of the Compressed Gas
Association Specification G-7 for quality verification level
(grade) D air or equivalent specifications. The cylinder
shall meet applicable DOT specifications.
When equipped with the cylinder charging system trans-
filling coupling on the 7-1215-1 pr
essur
e gauge and hose
assembly, the apparatus must also be equipped with the
803534 first stage regulator and Audi-Larm Assembly.
Do not install a Quick-Fill System and 3000psi URC
Assembly on the same air mask. Combining these
assemblies on the same air mask will not allow the
relief valve in the 3000psi URC Assembly to open as
designed. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.
Approval is maintained while transfilling air only if MSA
Quick-Fill System Hose Assembly 485331 or 485332 is
used. Include 488703 cylinder charging system hose if
using with encapsulated suit. A Quick-Fill System
equipped apparatus is not approved for use with the 7-
1008-1 cylinder and valve assembly.
When NightFighter™ Heads-Up Display System is
used as a gauge (Not in conjunction with standard
pneumatic Gauge) continuous operations mode must
be used to maintain NIOSH approval.
Do not alter this unit. Altering will void the Intrinsic-Safety
rating and may affect the Intrinsic-Safety of the device.
Misuse or abuse of the NightFighter Heads-Up Display
System, or the equipment to which it is attached, or using
this equipment in a manner or situation not intended by
the manufacturer, may result in damage to the
NightFighter Heads-Up Display System, or equipment
connected to the NightFighter Heads-Up Display System,
may result in personal injury or death to user or persons
dependent on the user.
Always inspect the NightFighter Heads-Up Display
System for damage before use. If damage is found, imme-
diately r
emove the device fr
om ser
vice.
Note: The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System must
be used with an Ultra Elite® Facepiece. Do not attempt to
transfill air (using URC Assembly or Quick-Fill System
connectors) if donor’s audible alarm is ringing.
