5. To prepare for testing adjust zero point of the RZ-25 tester.
6. Test adapter is used to connect the BG-ProAir apparatus to the RZ-25 tester.

12. Only DRAGERSORB 400 is to be used to fill the refillable absorber.
13. The factory packed cartridge is good for 2.5 years from the manufacture date.
14. A positive pressure in the breathing circuit prevents ambient air from entering the system.
15. The BG-ProAir is approved with a factory/refillable absorber.
16. The Connect ECU monitoring system comprises a sensor unit, electronics assembly, and Connect ECU.

18. A fully filled oxygen cylinder holds 414 liters of medical oxygen.
19. The accuracy of the Connect ECU pressure measurement is +or- 150 psi of the final value at 3000 psi.
20. The accuracy of the Connect ECU pressure measurement is +0 or- 72 psi of the final value at 580 psi.
21. Never replace the battery in potentially explosive areas.
22. The weight of a fully charged BG-ProAir apparatus is 16.9kg (37.3 lbs.).
23. Check the supply of oxygen gas on the Connect ECU at intervals of approximately 15 minutes.
24. The minimum valve provides greater than 80 L/min flow.
25. The breathing bag has a 6-liter volume.
26. Insert speech diaphragm, install retainer ring and tighten with spanner.
27. The belt and harness must be dried prior to storage, to prevent growth of mold and fungus.
28. The pressure reducer, minimum valve, and oxygen hoses must be replaced every 10 years.
29. The Connect ECU pressure sensor converts pressure into digital signal.
30. The cylinder connector and cylinder valve must not be contaminated with oil or grease.
31. Two TX10 screws are used in the battery cover of the electronics assembly.
32. Rubber parts must be particularly protected from direct exposure to radiation.
33. Do not use any solvents, such as acetone, alcohol, benzene, white spirit, trichloroethylene, etc. for cleaning rubber and silicone parts.
34. The first low pressure warning occurs when the pressure drops to approximately 650 psi.
35. At the first low pressure warning approximately 75% of the oxygen has been used up.
36. The last low-pressure warning occurs when the pressure drops to approximately 150 psi.
37. During the low-pressure warning test, the alarm should activate at approximately 650 psi for a 4-hour apparatus.
38. At the last low-pressure warning approximately 95% of the oxygen has been used up.
39. To start the main alarm, press the Yellow panic button in center of the Connect ECU.
40. When the first low pressure warning occurs, the alarm sounds intermittently, the red LED flashes, and the screen of the Connect ECU turns red.
41. When the last low-pressure warning occurs, the alarm sounds intermittently without stopping and the red LED flashes constantly.
42. Medium pressure is delivered to the minimum valve.
43. The drain valve opens at between 10 and 25 mbar.
44. The BG-ProAir breathing circuit is designed with an air cooler that can be filled with ice packs or phase change material to reduce the temperature of the inhaled breath.
45. Remove the Tally Key to activate the motion sensor.
46. All parts which come in contact with the exhaled air must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after use.
47. Disinfect parts by immersing them in a disinfectant bath using an approved disinfectant.
48. Slide the minimum valve into the slot in the breathing bag.
49. All parts which have been disinfected should be rinsed thoroughly under running water.
50. CO2 absorber is not approved for use after indicated expiration date.
51. The maximum temperature of the air used to dry parts should not go above 60 degree C (140-degree F).
52. U.S. Department of Transportation requires hydro tests on composite cylinders every 5 years.
53. The O-ring under the speech diaphragm should be lubricated with Dow Corning 111.
54. The BG-ProAir is approved for use at temperatures above -6 degree C (21-degree F).
55. A defective pressure reducer should be replaced as needed.
56. Only oxygen (medical grade or better) with > 99.5% purity is to be used to fill the BG-ProAir oxygen cylinders.
57. Ice packs in the cooling system should only be used at ambient temperature above 0 degree C (32-degree F).
58. Pressurized oxygen in contact with oil, grease, or other contamination can result in fire or explosion.
59. It is safe to use the BG-ProAir for up to 4 hours with a yellow battery indicator with 1 bar.
60. The battery must be replaced if a red battery warning is indicated.
61. A defective bypass is the probable cause if the manual by-pass valve does not blow-off.
62. The blue LED pulses to indicate that the Connect ECU is operating normally.
63. Bypass output is > 80 L/min.
64. Relief valve activation is 4-8 bar or (58-116 psi).
