WARNING:
It is important to fill the cylinder only with Oxygen 90% or greater. If filling the
PHODS from any other source than a Deployable Oxygen Refill Station (DORS) ensure
that the moisture content does not exceed 0.005 milligrams of water vapor per liter of
gas at 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at a temperature of 70ºF / 21.1ºC. Excess water
vapor in the breathing gas can cause ice to form inside the PHODS and interfere with the
operation of the system at colder temperatures.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to loosen or remove the regulator CPC fitting or safety burst plug
on the regulator under any circumstances. This should only be done by a qualified technician.
WARNING:
The oxygen cylinder may burst from impact of small arms fire, resulting in
overpressure shock, shrapnel injury and/or flash fire.
WARNING:
DO NOT modify or alter the length of any hoses or tubing. This should only
be done by a qualified technician, using original manufacturer hose assemblies.
CAUTION:
DO NOT apply any type of aerosol spray to the PHODS. Doing so may cause
permanent damage to certain plastic components, including the delivery tubing.
CAUTION:
PHODS operation has not been verified below -25ºF / -32ºC and performance
may be degraded at lower temperatures.
NOTE:
DO NOT store the OPC connected to the cylinder while the inlet is under pressure. If
the lines are disconnected the ends must be covered to prevent the entry of debris, dust or dirt
into clean hoses.
NOTE:
Factory prescribed service for the PHODS must be performed every 12 months by a
factory trained service technician.
NOTE:
When instructed to "OPEN" the handwheel, turn the handwheel counter-clockwise. the red
indicator ring will not be visible in the handwheel window, this indicates the system is in the "ON"
position. When instructed to "CLOSE" the handwheel, turn the handwheel clockwise. the red indicator
ring will be visible in the handwheel window, this indicates the system is in the"OFF" position.
NOTE: When instructed to disconnect or reconnect the OPC hose to the CPC fitting, use the
following method:
Disconnect: Depress the button on the CPC fitting to remove the OPC hose.
Reconnect: Insert the OPC hose into the CPC fitting, making sure the button "Pops Up". Check that
the OPC hose is firmly attached prior to pressurizing the system.
