It displays the current operating data of the respiratory protective device and signals danger conditions (visually and acoustically).
Battery state LEDs Rubber boot The M1 Control Module (see Fig. 1) is connected at the end of the high pressure gauge line of an appli- cable MSA SCBA. The device monitors the proper functioning of the respiratory protective device and signals danger conditions (visually and acoustically).
Installation Installation Installations can only be done by certified MSA technicians outside of hazardous areas. Before Use Before using the device, it is recommended to perform a short check to test for any leakage in the system. Open compressed air cylinder.
By pressing one of the green mode buttons, the user can switch between the pressure level and the remaining time display. This mode can be used in combination with MSA A2 Software to change device Service Mode settings and read out log memory.
