PLUS 15 Technical Manual GENERAL INFORMATION: Intended Use: The PLUS 15 is intended to be used as an escape filter hood in fire and smoke emergencies where oxygen exists in sufficient quantity to sustain life. Most fire situations contain sufficient oxygen. It is for a single use only. The PLUS 15 is not intended for chemical spills or confined space situations where sufficient oxygen may not be available. In these situations a self-contained breathing apparatus, such as an Essex VRU should be considered. All fire situations are unique, and so it is impossible to predict exactly what toxic fumes will be given off. The PLUS 15 has been designed in consideration of testing done by recognized international regulatory agencies that have studied fires. The contaminates that the PLUS 15 will remove, are based on these international studies. However, it is not possible to guarantee that the PLUS 15 will remove all of the contaminates from any particular fire. Duration of Use: The PLUS 15 will provide 15 minutes of protection against exposure to toxic gases. Longer time durations can be achieved against less severe environments. (Reference the Challenge Atmosphere Section of this Technical Data Package) Size: 7 in long x 4 in tall x 5 in wide when packaged in its protective nylon pouch Weight: Approx. 450 grams, individual weight varies, specific weight is listed on the foil barrier pouch. Packaging: The PLUS 15 is folded inside a hermetically sealed, waterproof barrier pouch, which is then packaged inside a protective nylon pouch. The barrier pouch can be opened by hand and requires no additional tools. Shelf Life: The PLUS 15 has a shelf life of 5 years and 6 months from date of manufacture as long as the hermetically sealed barrier pouch has not been damaged and unit is properly stored in its nylon pouch.
Essex PB&R Corporation • Technical Data Package for the PLUS 15 Respirator Size and Fit: The PLUS 15 comes in only one size. Though the unit is designed to be one-size fits most, leakage may occur due to variables such as unique facial characteristics, facial hair, facial piercing, etc. Breathing Resistance: The breathing resistance for inhalation is 3.2 in of H2O maximum and exhalation is 1.2 in of H2O maximum. Visibility: The PLUS 15 offers a large field of visibility, with the use of clear FEP material for the hood. Protection Factor: The PLUS 15 provides an average protection factor of 50 inside of the nose cup. The air being breathed inside the PLUS 15 is on average 50 times cleaner than the air outside of the hood. Verbal Communication: Though the nose cup may muffle communication the PLUS 15 still allows for communication without removing the hood or mask. Oxygen: The PLUS 15 does not provide oxygen. The contaminated air is drawn through the filter, cleaned and delivered to the user. Do not use the PLUS 15 in an oxygen deficient atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide: Carbon Dioxide is introduced into the hood by the reaction of the carbon monoxide filter and by the breath exhaled by the user. Carbon Dioxide is removed from the hood when the user exhales, opening the exhalation valve adjacent to the filter and emitting air from inside the breathing zone. Carbon Monoxide: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas found in almost all fires. It is the byproduct of incomplete combustion. The Plus 15 protects against CO concentrations as high as 10,000 ppm for over 15 minutes.
Storage and Maintenance: The PLUS 15 may be stored at temperatures between 85°C (185°F) and -30°C (-20°F). The only maintenance needed for the PLUS 15 is to inspect the barrier pouch for any tears, punctures, and loss of vacuum or gain in weight. If there is any damage to the barrier pouch or the pouch has lost vacuum or the unit is otherwise damaged DO NOT USE THE DEVICE.
