3 Description
The Dräger PSS 5000 Series is a breathing apparatus that provides the
wearer with respiratory protection using an open-circuit, pressure-demand,
compressed-air system. The apparatus can be used as a self-contained
system, or with an independent air supply for supplied-air respirator (SAR)
operations. The series is compatible with Dräger compressed air cylinders
and the FPS ® 7000 face mask. The product includes the following
electronic monitoring systems:
● A Dräger Sentinel 7000 electronic monitoring system, with integral
PASS (personal alert safety system).
● A Dräger FPS ® 7000 wireless HUD (head-up display) unit.
3.1 Feature description
The carrying system has a carbon-composite backplate, with adjustable
shoulder harness and waist belt connected using quick release
connectors. The waist pad is connected at a flexible joint to compensate
for the twisting and bending of the user.
All variants use the same first-stage regulator (Fig A, Item 5) fitted with a
whistle that sounds at the end-of-service time (see Section 10 for the end-
of-service time indicator (EOSTI) activation pressures). The regulator
supplies medium-pressure breathing air through a medium-pressure
hose (Fig A, Item 6) and a quick coupling (Fig A, Item 2) to an attached
lung demand valve (second-stage regulator). Incorporated in the first-
stage regulator is a RIC UAC (rapid intervention crew universal air
connection) (Fig A, Item 4), which is a male coupling that allows
emergency refilling of the compressed air cylinder while wearer is
breathing from the apparatus.
The electronic system is the Sentinel 7000, which is a multi-function
system that continuously monitors the breathing apparatus status,
including cylinder pressure, movement of the wearer, and battery
condition. It provides visual indications of system status and audible and
visual alarms in warning conditions. The user interface has an electronic
LCD (liquid crystal display) screen (Fig B, Item 1), left (L) and right (R)

operating buttons, a manual alarm button (Fig B, Item 2), an LED
panel (Fig B, Item 3), and an internal alarm sounder. A backlight
illuminates the user interface display when required. An additional alarm
sounder (Fig A, Item 1), referred to as the "second sounder", is mounted
on the backplate, with warning activation LEDs top and bottom. The
second sounder operates only during PASS alarms.
Personal identity information (e.g. user name, brigade name, station
number) can be stored in the user interface memory of the Sentinel 7000.
Once stored, the information can be scrolled across the screen by pressing
the right button (Fig B) of the user interface during use.
The system is switched on by pressing the left and right buttons on the user
interface (Fig B), or by cylinder pressure detected at a pressure module in
the backplate, with pressure transmitted to the pressure module through a
high-pressure hose (Fig A, Item 3) when the cylinder is opened. At switch-
on, the unit performs a self-test (see Section 3.1.1), and once the self-test
is passed, the system adopts the active mode where the electronic
functions are operational.

The PASS alarm can be activated manually or automatically. The manual
alarm is activated by pressing the manual alarm button on the user
interface (Fig B, Item 2). The automatic alarm uses a motion sensor to
detect movement and activates a pre-alarm and main alarm at timed
intervals when no movement is sensed. The pre-alarm activates after 21-
25 seconds without movement, and the main alarm activates after
approximately a further 10 seconds without movement.
The HUD is fitted in the face mask to provide visual indications of system
conditions (see the HUD instructions for use for full details). Signals from
the Sentinel 7000 are transmitted to the HUD from a pressure transducer/
transmitter incorporated into the pressure module.
System power supplies are the main battery in the backplate, the backup
battery in the pressure module and the HUD battery in the HUD.
Dräger PC Link is an optional accessory that allows reading and
reprogramming of the Sentinel 7000. PC Link can reprogram settings and
parameters, including configuration, firmware and identification, and
download event record (datalog) information. Contact Dräger for full
