Section 5. Oxygen Eclipse 5OO Systems Manual
5.5.12 Passenger Oxygen Masks
Four continuous flow passenger oxygen masks are contained within two oxygen
mask containers in the cabin with (each container housing two masks.) There is also
an identical oxygen mask container for the right pilot seat located on the right switch
panel. Each unit is equipped with a pneumatically-operated door latch which opens
the door and allows the oxygen mask to drop. The latch is opened by low pressure
oxygen flowing into the system, either because low cabin pressure (cabin altitude
14,000 feet and above) triggers the cabin oxygen valve solenoid or because the pilot
selects DROP on the PASSENGER MASK selector.
A pin-release mechanism is attached to the mask by a lanyard. When the mask is
pulled, the lanyard pin is released and oxygen flows to the mask. A green flow
indicator appears in a clear section of the hose to indicate oxygen flow.
If passenger oxygen masks are automatically dropped and the cabin altitude
decreases below 10,000 feet oxygen flow will cease to the passenger masks. If the
passenger oxygen masks are manually dropped using the passenger mask selector
oxygen flow will continue all the way to the ground.
