WARNING: Before using EBIS, it is important to receive in-water training

which simulates proper use of this system. Use of the EBIS without proper

training is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING: Visual inspection and factory prescribed ser vice for the EBIS must be

performed annually by a factory trained service technician. Repair, service and

visual inspection must not be attempted by untrained or unqualied personnel.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to overll the EBIS beyond its maximum

ll pressure at 70ºF/ 21ºC. Doing so may seriously weaken the safety

plug assembly and cylinder, resulting in serious injury or death.

WARNING: The EBIS is designated compatible for use only with normal,

atmospheric, compressed air (21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen by volume).

DO NOT attempt to ll with other gases, including pure oxygen or air which

has been enriched with oxygen exceeding 21% in content. Failure to observe

this warning may result in serious injury or death due to re and explosion

or the serious deterioration and failure of the equipment.

WARNING: DO NOT ll or use the EBIS if it has been exposed to extreme

heat exceeding 250º F / 121º C or open ame. Instead, discharge the cylinder

completely and return it to a factory trained service technician for inspection

and possible hydrostatic re-testing.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

WARNING: DO NOT apply any type of aerosol spray to the EBIS. Doing

so may cause permanent damage to plastic components.

WARNING: Before using the EBIS, you must have successfully received

training and certication in the technique of SCUBA diving from a Military

or government operated diving school (or any recognized certication

agency). Use of SCUBA equipment by uncertied or untrained persons

is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING: Due to its limited air volume, EBIS is intended to be used for

making emergency ascents from a depth no greater than 45 ft / 13.5 m,

minor buoyancy adjustments or emergency otation during maritime

diving or surface operations.

WARNING: It is important to ensure that the EBIS is always pressurized

whenever it is submerged in order to prevent the entrance of water into

the system. If the system has been completely emptied of air underwater,

it is important to return the EBIS as soon as possible to a factory trained

service technician for visual inspection and any necessary service before

attempting to rell it.

WARNING: It is important to ll the EBIS only with dry, ltered air with a

water vapor content that does not exceed - 65°F / -53ºC dew point. Excess

water vapor in the air can cause ice to form inside the EBIS and interfere

with the operation of the system at colder temperatures.

NOTE:

When instructed to remove, unscrew or loosen a part, turn the part

counter-clockwise.

When instructed to install, screw, or tighten a part, turn the part clockwise.

NOTE:

When instructed to depressurize the system, close the handwheel and

depress the second stage purge button for 5 seconds and release for 5 seconds.

Repeat this procedure until the system is depressurized.

NOTE:

When instructed to “OPEN” the handwheel, turn the handwheel

counter-clockwise. The red indicator ring will not be visible in the

handwheel window, this indicates the system in the “ON” position.

When instructed to “CLOSE” the handwheel, turn the handwheel clockwise.

The red indicator ring will be visible in the handwheel window, this indicates

the system is in the“OFF” position.

NOTE:

When instructed to disconnect or reconnect the inator hose to the

QD tting, ensure the system is off and depressurized.

Disconnect: Depress the quick disconnect (QD) button on the QD tting to

remove the inator hose.

Reconnect: Insert the inator hose into the QD tting, making sure the quick

disconnect (QD) button “Pops Up”. Ensure the inator hose is rmly attached

prior to pressurizing the system.

WARNING: DO NOT apply any type of petroleum-based lubricant, such

as household oil or motor oil to any part of the EBIS. The EBIS does

not require any lubrication under normal circumstances, except during

annual service performed by a factory trained service technician.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Emergency Breathing Ination System (EBIS) is specically designed for

use on a variety of plate carriers used for maritime diving and surface operations.

A light weight cylinder with integrated regulator provides a source of breathable

air for emergency situations that may occur in maritime environments. A low

prole inator w/ QD hose is incorporated into the plate carriers bladder system,

allowing the operator to make minor buoyancy adjustments underwater and

achieve emergency buoyancy on the surface.

The purpose of this manual is to familiarize personnel with the correct setup,

lling, inspection and maintenance of the EBIS.

The EBIS is packaged fully assembled, ready to use after it has been lled with

air and congured to a vest. Before using, it is very important to carefully read

and understand the procedures outlined in this manual.

PREPARATION AND SETUP

General Filling Procedures

NOTE: The average duration of air supply listed in the Technical Specications

section of this manual is based upon the maximum ll pressure as marked

on the cylinder. It is strongly recommended that the cylinder be lled to its

maximum ll pressure (cold ll), in order to provide maximum breathing volume.

1. Before attempting to ll the EBIS, ensure that the ll adapter and rst stage

are completely dry – especially in the area surrounding the ll port.

2. The EBIS is congured with a 3000 PSI (207 BAR) aluminum cylinder or

4500 PSI (310 BAR) carbon ber composite cylinder. Examine the cylinder

markings to determine the maximum ll pressure. Aluminum cylinders must

have a current visual inspection. Carbon ber composite cylinders must have

a current visual inspection and hydrostatic test date (Fig. 2).

NOTE:

Aluminum cylinders do not require hydrostatic re-testing. Carbon

ber composite cylinders require hydrostatic re-testing every 5 years (Fig. 2).

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to ll the EBIS if the cylinder markings indicate

that it is assembled with a non standard cylinder rated for a different ll

pressure (See Fig. 2). Doing so may result in rupture or explosion in the

event of re or overlling. Instead, immediately return the unit to a factory

trained service technician and do not use under any circumstances.

4. Unscrew the ll port cap from the

ll port (Fig. 5).

5. Closely inspect the ll port opening

to ensure that no debris, residue or

moisture is present.

CAUTION: If moisture is found to be present inside the ll port opening, this

indicates that water may have entered the rst stage and cylinder. DO NOT

ll or attempt to use the EBIS until it has received a complete inspection

and any required service by a factory trained service technician.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to loosen or remove any components of

the EBIS other than instructed. Doing so could cause a dangerous

malfunction which could result in serious injury or death.

Filling Methods

Filling with a SCUBA Fill Adapter

NOTE:

The EBIS system does not include a SCUBA ll adapter. This adapter

(PN 108325) may be purchased separately (Fig. 6).

1. Supply (SCUBA) cylinder with SCUBA ll adapter (PN 108325).

2. Compressor with compressor ll adapter (PN M100656).

3. Compressor with HP ll adapter (PN 102865).

Figure 6

O-Ring

CAUTION: The dial pressure gauge is for reference only. Use the ll

system gauge to indicate accurate cylinder pressure.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to ll the EBIS directly from a supply cylinder

unless you have received the necessary training and authorization to

do so. If done incorrectly, this procedure poses certain hazards which

may cause severe injury or death.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to use the SCUBA ll adapter to ll the EBIS

from an air supply where the regulated pressure exceeds 3000 PSI (207

BAR). Doing so could cause a dangerous malfunction to the ll adapter or

weaken the cylinder and safety plug, resulting in serious injury or death.

6. While supporting the EBIS with one

hand, place the yoke of the ll adapter

over the cylinder valve to align the inlet

tting ush against the valve o-ring.

Screw the ll adapter yoke screw into

the small dimple on the backside of

the cylinder valve until finger-tight

(Fig. 8).

7. Close the bleed valve screw on the

ll adapter (Fig. 8).

Figure 8

1. Using a calibrated pressure gauge, check the supply cylinder to ensure that

it contains 3000 PSI (207 BAR). It is very important to ensure that the EBIS is

lled to its total capacity but not overlled.

3. Screw the threaded male tting on

the ll adapter into the ll port. DO

NOT apply a wrench or otherwise

overtighten the ll adapter (Fig. 7).

4. Loosen the ll adapter yoke screw

as needed so that the dust cap can be

removed from the inlet tting.

5. Inspect the supply cylinder o-ring

to make sure it is present, in good

condition and seated evenly in the

supply cylinder valve.

2. Remove the protector cap from the threaded male tting of the ll adapter.

Inspect the ll adapter to ensure that the o-ring is present and seated evenly at

the base of the threads. Check the threads of the male tting, making sure they

are clean and not damaged.
