WORKING TEMPERATURES
The Phantöm is approved for respiratory protection during entry or exit of oxygen deficient
atmospheres, gas atmospheres, and atmospheres of vapors at temperatures above -25°F. When
used below the freezing point, care must be taken to prevent moisture from entering the
demand and exhalation valves. This includes when the cylinders are being changed.
DURATION OF USE:
Although the Phantöm has been approved as a 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute respirator,
varying work pace, physical condition and other factors can substantially reduce the actual
useful life of the unit.
SCBA LIMITATIONS:
The SCBA can only protect the respiratory system of the protection may be necessary to avoid
contamination through skin absorption. If it is suspected that these types of materials may be
present, an effective full-body protector of impermeable material should be used with the SCBA.
