Ocenco M-20.2 EEBD. An M-20.2T training model is available for practicing the opening, and donning of the M-20.2 EEBD. The Ocenco M-20.2 EEBD can be belt worn or stored in a wall bracket. The Ocenco M-20.2 EEBD is a self-contained, compressed oxygen, emergency escape breathing device (EEBD). The Ocenco M-20.2 EEBD instantly provides breathable air, independent of the surrounding atmosphere, to a person escaping from toxic gas or an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

(12) Cover - may have optional overcase pads, a user replaceable item that provides increased abrasion and impact resistance. (13) Base - if belt worn, the base stays on the belt after the M-20.2 EEBD has been removed from the case. The base has an overcase pad that provides increased abrasion and impact resistance.
If the surrounding air temperature is above 38º C (100°F), and the needle is in the red zone, above the green zone, allow the M-20.2 EEBD to cool down to 18º - 24º C (64° - 75°F) for 24 hours. If the needle returns to the green zone, keep the M-20.2 EEBD in service. If the needle does not return to the green zone, remove the M-20.2 EEBD from service.
Belt loops broken Missing tamper indicating ball If the M-20.2 EEBD fails any of the above inspections, or if at any time during its life the pressure gauge is out of the green zone, it should be removed from service.
(8) Interruption of air flow (9) Someone around you has difficulty breathing or passes out (10) Accidental release of hazardous material In the event of an emergency, always don your M-20.2 EEBD before attempting to escape or help others. 2.6. Specifications 2.6.1.
Secondary Container and then placed in a rigid bracket securely fastened to a wall or other substantial structure and, (4) if worn, the M-20.2 EEBD must be belt worn on the person for no more than one shift per day.
(1) Cover - The M-20.2T Cover is similar in appearance to the M-20.2 EEBD Cover. (2) Base - The M-20.2T Base is similar in appearance to the M-20.2 EEBD Base. A “Caution For Training Use Only” label is on the front of the M-20.2T Base.
(1) The M-20.2T is worn on the belt to demonstrate the proper orientation on the belt or placed in the blue Secondary Container to simulate the stored position. (2) The Latch Assembly is identical to the M-20.2 EEBD, so that the opening of the M-20.2T is practiced “hands on”.
(2) When should a person don the M-20.2 EEBD? The EEBD should be put on at the first indication of fire, explosion or suspected oxygen deficiency, when you feel faint or a person near you faints.
5.1. Effects of Oxygen Deficiency Oxygen is odorless, colorless and tasteless, so it’s presence or absence is impossible to detect with the senses. However, when the air you breathe is deficient in oxygen, some of the physiological effects you may experience can give you clues that you are in an oxygen deficient atmosphere. People breathing air that has as little as 13% to 17% oxygen usually become dizzy, notice buzzing in their ears, can have a rapid heart rate, and often suffer headaches.
