REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION CONTINUED...
HEADS-UP DISPLAY OPERATION
The HEAdS-uP dISPLAY provides a visual monitor of the air supply in
the cylinder and valve assembly. The display is fitted to the facepiece
mounted regulator and appears across the bottom of the user's field of
view through the facepiece. The HEAdS-uP dISPLAY consists of four
rectangular lights to represent the cylinder pressure at FuLL, THREE-
QuARTERS, OnE-HALF, and OnE-THIRd. A fifth round red light indicates
LOW BATTERY. The HEAdS-uP dISPLAY operates as follows:
1. When respirator use begins, the HEAdS-uP dISPLAY will initialize
and illuminate all five lights for twenty (20) seconds. Operation of all
five lights must be verified every time respirator use is begun and with
every REguLAR OPERATIOnAL InSPECTIOn. If the lights do not
operate as described here, do not use the respirator. Remove the
respirator from service and tag for repair by authorized personnel.

2. After initialization, the rectangular indicator lights will show the level
of the air supply in the cylinder as follows:
a) FuLL cylinder is indicated by the two green lights glowing near
the center of the display.
b) THREE-QuARTERS cylinder is indicated by a single green light
glowing.
c) OnE-HALF cylinder is indicated by the yellow light flashing slowly
at once a second.
d) OnE-THIRd cylinder end of service time indicator is indicated by
the red light at the far left flashing rapidly at ten times a second.
WHEn THIS WARnIng LIgHT IS FLASHIng RAPIdLY, THE
uSER muST LEAVE THE HAZARdOuS ATmOSPHERE ImmE-
dIATELY.
3. The HEAdS-uP dISPLAY has an automatic brightness control that
dims the dISPLAY in low light situations and returns the dISPLAY to
full brightness in bright light situations.
4. When the batteries require changing, the round LOW BATTERY in-
dicator at the right of the display will light for twenty (20) seconds
and then begin to flash slowly at once a second. When the LOW
BATTERY indicator is actuated, the batteries still have sufficient life
to operate the HEAdS-uP dISPLAY longer than the longest dura-
tion cylinder installed on the respirator. However, the batteries must
be changed immediately upon termination of use of the respirator,
or before reentry into a hazardous atmosphere. See the BATTERY
REPLACEmEnT section of this instruction.
