SCOTT SKA-PAK

Front 3

The MOD 0 SAR/SCBA System was initially outfitted with the

Back 3

MSA Premaire Cadet 15M Escape SCBA

Front 4

The PASP contains one

4,500 psi compressed air cylinder
A high pressure (HP) hose manifold,
A first stage pressure regulator with integrated relief valve,
LP and HP pressure
gauges,
a three-way ball valve,
bleed valves,
and a low pressure alarm.

Front 5

The PASP weighs about

Back 5

51 lbs

Front 6

The PASP supports up to

Back 6

4 simultaneous Escape SCBA
users at a time.

Front 7

One compressed air cylinder can provide about

Back 7

60 minutes of breathing air for a single user when charged to 4,500 psi.

Front 8

The three-way ball valve is used to select

Back 8

which HP hose/cylinder is supplying air to
the panel

Front 9

When changing cylinders, this valve is turned smoothly and swiftly

Back 9

180 degrees to bring the next cylinder online.

Front 10

There are __________ and they connect the PASP Control Panel to PASP/RASP cylinders.
These are thermoplastic hoses that only require visual inspection

Back 10

2 3-foot HP air hoses

Front 11

The HP gauge displays the pressure of the

Back 11

online cylinder connected to control panel

Front 12

The LP gauge displays the

Back 12

output pressure going to the Escape SCBA users

Front 13

Gauge Isolation Valves isolate the gauges when troubleshooting and

Back 13

are equipped with
a test port that can be used by qualified personnel to calibrate the gauges

Front 14

Quick-disconnects (QDs) are

Back 14

Foster type with the safety lock feature

Front 15

The bleed valve safely relieves

Back 15

LP pressure when opened

Front 16

The RASP weighs about

Back 16

45 pounds

Front 17

MOD 1 PASP/RASP cylinders are made of carbon fiber and have a

Back 17

30 year service life

Front 18

Air supply hoses are

Back 18

75 feet in length and are made by the Escape SCBA manufacturer (SCOTT for the MOD 1 SAR/SCBA System)

Front 19

The SCOTT hoses are marked

Back 19

“Breathing Air Only”

Front 20

The
Escape SCBA connects to the PASP with up to

Back 20

four 75-foot deck hoses (300 feet).

Front 21

One 75-foot hose is stored in

Back 21

the hard shell case with the Escape SCBA

Front 22

The Escape SCBA has a backup supply of air from a

Back 22

4,500-psi compressed air cylinder

Front 23

The backup compressed air cylinder has a rated air supply of

Back 23

15 minutes

Front 24

When air pressure coming from the PASP falls below 55 psi the regulator

Back 24

transfers to escape mode(The Vibralert® alarm is activated when this occurs)

Front 25

The pressure gauge is also called the

Back 25

EOSTI (End of Service Time Indicator).

Front 26

Safety harnesses and lines shall be used whenever a person equipped with

Back 26

an Escape SCBA enters an IDLH atmosphere

Front 27

The safety line shall be

Back 27

1/2-inch diameter (or larger) nylon line

Front 28

An air regulator reduces the air pressure to

Back 28

60-80 psig for delivery to the air distribution system

Front 29

The air cylinder contains 87

Back 29

standard cubic feet (scf) of air at 4,500 pounds per square feet gauge (psig).

Front 30

The attendant shall align the spare cylinder to provide air when the air pressure reaches

Back 30

500 psi or the low pressure alarm sounds, whichever occurs first

Front 31

How long does LP hoses last

Back 31

12 years

Front 32

The current Navy standard shipboard four gas analyzer is the

Back 32

BIOSYSTEMS PhD Ultra

Front 33

Other analyzers meeting the requirements of

Back 33

Appendix K may also be used

Front 34

The primary alarm is an audible alarm, the visual alarm

Back 34

is a back-up

alarm for high noise environments.

Front 35

The four gas analyzer is

Back 35

water, shock and EMI resistant

Front 36

The four gas analyzer is composed of two kits

Back 36

the analyzer kit and the calibration check kit, which contain all components necessary
for shipboard use of this equipment.

Front 37

The four gas analyzer is not currently authorized for use in measuring

Back 37

hydrogen to support nuclear propulsion
plant casualty procedures or to support monitoring of submarine propulsion battery hydrogen release

Front 38

four gas analyzer shall not be used to measure the toxicity of hydrocarbon gas because

Back 38

the range and scale (percentage of LEL as opposed to ppm or mg/cubic meter) are not appropriate for this measurement

Front 39

Any rapid up-scale reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate

Back 39

a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit which may be hazardous.

Front 40

Do not store or leave the four gas analyzer with the battery pack

Back 40

removed

Front 41

Never operate the sample draw pump unless

Back 41

the hose and probe assembly are attached

Front 42

Auto zero adjustment may be made only when

Back 42

the analyzer unit is located in air that is known to be fresh

Front 43

Battery powered with

Back 43

NICAD battery pack, it will operate for eight hours after an eight-hour charge (It will operate for up to 12 hours if fully charged)

Front 44

The four gas analyzer unit may be used in either the

Back 44

local mode, sampling in the diffusion mode or in the remote mode

Front 45

The four gas analyzer unit stores up to 60 hours

Back 45

of monitoring data

Front 46

There are two lengths of remote sampling tubing approximately

Back 46

19 and 33 feet
and fittings to connect the hoses together

Front 47

The charger is powered from a
