DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The air masks from MSA are pressure-demand, self-con-
tained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with NightFighter
Heads-Up Display System, URC Assembly (Universal
Rescue Connection), and Pressure Gauge certified by the
N
ational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(
NIOSH) for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to
l
ife or health:
``Immediately dangerous to life or health’’ means condi-
tions that pose an immediate threat to life or health or
conditions that pose an immediate threat of severe expo-
sure to contaminants, such as radioactive materials,
which are likely to have adverse cumulative or delayed
effects on health [Title 42 CFR, Part 84.2, (Q)] Additionally,
the air masks are designed to comply with the NFPA-1981
Standard.
DO NOT use this carrier and harness assembly as a
vertical raising or lowering device. Failure to follow
this warning can result in serious personal injury or
death.
MMR breathing apparatus consists of the following major
sub-assemblies.
• first stage regulator
• second stage regulator
• air cylinder and valve
• Audi-Larm™ Audible Alarm with URC Assembly
• carrier and harness
• facepiece
• NightFighter Heads-Up Display System/ICM Unit

FIRST STAGE REGULATOR
The PR14 First Stage Regulator incorporates a down-
stream design and dual springs to provide maximum relia-
bility
. The regulator incorporates a large, easily replace-
able, sintered filter to capture particulates that may be in
the air stream.
SECOND STAGE REGULATOR
This is a pr
essur
e-demand r
egulator
, which keeps a posi-
tive pressure in the facepiece all the time. A slide button
(top r
elease button) on top of the regulator stops air flow
.
To stop airflow, push the button IN. To restart the regula-
tor, inhale sharply. The regulator attaches to the facepiece
with a push to connect connector
. The regulator delivers
lar
ge flow rates accurately and quickly
.
DUAL-PURPOSE
The Firehawk MMR is used as a combination apparatus. It
is approved by NIOSH for use as a half-hour or one hour,
pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus for
entry or escape from oxygen deficient atmospheres,
g
ases, or vapors.
T
he Firehawk MMR is a self-contained breathing appara-
tus rated for 30, 45, or 60 minute service duration. It is
also a supplied-air respirator utilizing a supply of air from
a stationary cylinder or compressor.
The Dual-Purpose Conversion Kit supplies the parts nec-
essary to modify a Firehawk MMR Air Mask so that it can
function as either a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) or as an air-line, air-supplied respirator.
When used as a combination apparatus, the device shall
be supplied with respirable air through 8 to 300 feet of air-
supply hose from MSA, within a pressure range of 85-
90psig.
Particles and contaminants can enter a supplied-air
respirator system when air supply hoses are discon-
nected and/or reconnected in a contaminated atmos-
phere. Failure to follow this warning can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death depending on the toxicity
of the contaminant involved. It is the responsibility of
the user to determine the potential risk and to take the
necessary warnings, which may include a requirement
that NO disconnection or reconnection of air supply
hoses be permitted in a contaminated atmosphere. If
in doubt DO NOT disconnect and/or reconnect.
DO NOT install or attempt to use any hose assembly
or fitting other than those supplied by MSA for the
Firehawk MMR Dual-Purpose. Failure to follow this
warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
