Primary Screen
The primary screen provides all critical information to the user. To illuminate the screen either pick
up the control module or press the RESET button. Three options of information can displayed on
the primary screen: pressure status, time remaining calculation, or breathing time.
Fig. 9 Primary Screen
The pressure status is a configurable option in the control module and is set as the default. The
settings can be changed by using the MSA alphaCONTROL 2 Software. The two other options for
the primary screen are time remaining calculation or breathing time.
Control Module (ADSU) (Version with Integrated Electronics only)
• The logo screen displays on the control module
showing the MSA logo and a user and/or team name if
assigned to the device.
• The buddy lights on the power and control module cycle
through red, yellow, and green.
• The power module plays the start-up tone.
During this process, the device is performing a self-test to
ensure the device is operating correctly.
The self-test screen displays the results of the self-test to
the user.
• A successful self-test will display a "Go" icon to indicate
the unit can be put into service.
• If maintenance is required, a "maintenance" icon will
appear indicating the unit should be removed from
service after use.
• If the device should not be used, a "Do Not Use" icon
will display on the control module and the full alarm
from the power module will be alarmed. At this point,
the device will not continue to operate. The SCBA must
be removed from service and must be checked and
corrected for proper operation by an MSA trained or
certified repair technician before using.
The primary screen displays and the product can be used.
