AIR-PAK FIFTY SCBA
Scott is well known all over the world for their air-paks. Anderson Fire & Safety prides itself on being the #1 Exclusive Scott Distributor in the State of South Carolina. This page is devoted exclusively to Scott Air-Paks, specifically the Air-Pak Fifty. It will give you a complete overview of the Air-Pak Fifty itself. Please note that this one of the main products offered by Scott and that there are many other Air-Paks and accessories available.
CONTINUING A PROUD TRADITION
The Scott Air-Pak has earned the confidence of SCBA users with its record of reliable performance and rugged dependability. Scott is committed to continuing the innovative technological leadership which has forged that tradition. The Scott Air-Pak Fifty is the next generation of SCBA's. Introduced on the 50th Anniversary of the first Scott Air-Pak, the Air-Pak Fifty is a SCBA developed with extensive input from fire and industrial users. Based on your recommendations, the Air-Pak Fifty offers enhanced design features built around proven Scott performance characteristics.
PERFORMANCE YOU CAN COUNT ON
The Air Pak Fifty continues the time-tested operating systems which have given users the easy-breathing SCBA performance they have learned to rely on time and time again for dependable respiratory protection.
SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE
Scott's commitment to firefighter safety has led to the most advanced SCBA available-the Scott Air-Pak Fifty. The Air-Pak is a proven product with years of dependable service to thousands of firefighters. Scott continues that rich heritage with industry leading performance and safety features.
Municipal and industrial fire departments throughout the world use the Air-Pak Fifty everyday. From small volunteer departments to large, metropolitan and industrial departments, the Air-Pak Fifty is the SCBA of choice for the fire service.
THE SCOTT FAMILY OF PRODUCTS
To promote specific user advantages, the Air-Pak Fifty, as well as the Air-Pak 2.2/3.0/4.5, utilize components interchangeable with other Scott air-supplied and air-purifying respirators. This simplifies training and helps minimize costs.
OPTIMUM VERSATILITY
The Air-Pak Fifty SCBA is designed to be upgradeable, so it will satisfy your needs now, as well as in the future should your needs change.
LIGHTWEIGHT, COMFORTABLE, GLOVED-HAND PRACTICAL
Fire fighting is intense, physically demanding work. So, too, is industrial work requiring SCBA protection. That's why Scott offers a lightweight SCBA package promoting comfort and user-friendly convenience. It's an idea that was born, and continues to be refined, by responding to the needs of Scott users.
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT REDUCED FATIGUE
Marked by its streamlined backframe, Air-Pak Fifty provides a comfortable fit to support users performing physically-demanding work assignments. Whether the SCBA user is outfitted in turnout gear or industrial protective clothing, the back-frame promotes greater freedom of movement and reduces fatigue.
The one-piece backframe is constructed of a lightweight, but durable aluminum alloy. It follows the back's contour and places the bulk of the SCBA's weight on the hips, where padded wrap-around wings provide comfortable support.
Wide-bodied pads further distribute weight along the shoulders and hips. Harness-mounted, retro-reflective front patches enhance night-time visibility of the user.
FASTER, EASIER CYLINDER CHANGES
A double-locking latch and durable Kevlar fabric band permits efficient cylinder changes. Simple adjustment of a cam-over-center slide permits the accommodation of 30, 45 minute, or one-hour duration cylinders.
QUICK TAKE-UP & QUICK RELEASE
Parachute-style harness fasteners permit smooth, efficient adjustment. While securely retaining the shoulder straps, the fasteners minimize harness wear and tear, even with frequent use. Quick doffing is assured because the over-sized fasteners are easily manipulated with gloved hands. A one-finger release disengages the waist belt buckle.
UNSURPASSED PERFORMANCE
The Scott breathing circuit responds rapidly and efficiently to the user's demand for air, making it easier to breathe, especially during periods of peak physical activity. From first-breath activation, Scott offers an SCBA with outstanding breathing performance and an air flow that exceeds NFPA requirements.
EASY TO BREATHE
The E-Z Flo regulator is a pressure-demand system that out-performs all other SCBA regulators in performance and simplicity. While maintaining a slightly positive pressure in the facepiece, E-Z Flo delivers as much as 160 LPM when compared to the NFPA 100 LPM minimum. It is capable of a peak flow of 500 LPM.
This superior performance is based on a design that significantly reduces inhalation and exhalation resistance to minimize user fatigue.
READY, SET, BREATHE
An air-saver switch, angled for easy operation with a gloved hand, stops the free flow of air during donning and doffing. This gives the user the advantage of placing the SCBA in a standby mode with an activated cylinder. That means the user can be suited up and ready for action without spending cylinder air.
The regulator's quick-don mounting system has a 20-year track record of proven performance. A positive-locking mount is assured with a quick quarter turn of the regulator that prevents it from being accidentally knocked loose.
Simplicity is assured because the regulator automatically activates the flow of air with the user's first breath. Air entering the facepiece is directed over the lens to prevent fogging.
INCREASED CYLINDER OPTIONS
The Air-Pak Fifty is available in 2216, 3000 or 4500 PSI models. Choose from the latest in cylinder materials including lightweight Kevlar or carbon fiber, the lightest cylinder available. Cylinders are available 30, 45 or 60 minute rated durations.
AV2000-SCOTT'S SINGLE SOLUTION
The Air-Pak Fifty 2.2/3.0/4.5 incorporates a platform design approach, which allows for a dramatic increase in versatility and compatibility with the entire Scott product line. This design concept helps those departments whose respiratory protection needs extend beyond SCBA's to other air-supplied or air-purified products.
Key to the Scott Family of Products is the advanced AV-2000 facepiece. The AV-2000 is interchangeable with Scott's full-line of SCBA, air-supplied respirators and air-purifying respirators, as well as Scott's communications products, giving users a solid, practical reason to choose Scott.
The AV-2000 minimizes equipment inventories and simplifies the complexities of user training when employed as a personal issue facepiece. Because of its versatility, the AV-2000 can dramatically reduce redundant facepiece fit tests for users faced with hazardous situations requiring SCBA, air-supplied, or air-purifying respiratory protection.
ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES
Firefighters should never go into dangerous environments without a partner for backup. So, too, Scott has designed on-board backup emergency systems. Scott's redundant safeguards promote an added margin of user safety.
UNIQUE PRESSURE REDUCER
Unlike all other SCBA, Scott actually provides two pressure reducers in one. Situated in a compact housing, the pressure reducers are interconnected through an automatic transfer valve. A reduction in primary pressure for whatever reason would trigger an automatic transfer to the secondary circuit. This could occur, for example, by dirt accidentally entering the air circuit during a cylinder change.
The user would be alerted to the transfer by the Vibralert alarm. This would enable the user to focus attention on safely exiting the hazardous area. At the same time, an uninterrupted supply of air would be provided through the secondary circuit.
DUAL VIBRALERT ALARM
The Vibralert is a dual alarm system that alerts the user to low air supply, as well as reducer changeover.
The only end-of-service alarm with both audible and tactile features, Vibralert's gentle vibration of the facepiece minimizes the chance of the user's alarm will go unnoticed, or confused with another SCBA.
Vibralert is particularly helpful in noisy environments, when a user has hearing loss, or when several SCBA are located in the same area. Unlike many other respirators, the air used to power the alarm is channeled into the facepiece.
DUAL DISTRESS ALARM
Representing a dramatic break-through in personal protection, Pak-Alert 1000 is a powerful new safety tool offering redundant audible and visual alarms.
Designed to assist in location incapacitated or trapped SCBA users, Pak-Alert is the first distress alarm featuring automatic activation as soon as the cylinder valve is opened.
An option for the Air-Pak SCBA, Pak-Alert's sensor and alarms are powered independently by battery.
Pak-Alert alarms include a flashing red LED and twin audible sounders. The audible alarms are located between the cylinder and backframe to prevent inadvertent muffling should a user become pinned down. A hands-free re-set minimizes distracting false alarms.
MAXIMUM VERSATILITY & A RANGE OF OPTIONS
To promote maximum user benefit, Air-Pak Fifty, like the Air-Pak 2.2/3.0/4.5 SCBA, is designed to be upgradeable should the user's requirements change. For example, a low-pressure SCBA may be upgraded to a high-pressure system with minimum cost.
In addition, the Air-Pak SCBA may be equipped with a range of options and accessories including:
Personal issue regulators with a quick-connect coupling on the regulator supply line.
Extended Duration Airline for access to a remote source of air up to 300 feet away.
Eyeglass holder, self-adjusting holder permits prescription lens to be worn inside the facepiece.
Quick-Charge gives SCBA users in emergency situations a fast, easy way of refilling their cylinders without removing them from the backframe. Available on 3000 and 4500 PSI models.
Life-Link, an emergency breathing support system (EBSS), permits two users to share a common air supply in emergencies. Life-Link features a tactile-feel, quick-connect coupling on the regulator supply line.
TOTAL COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS
The Air-Pak Fifty and AV-2000 facepiece allows you to take advantage of the many communication products available from Scott. The Scott Family of Communication Products offers solutions for every situation and budget.
The Scott Voice Amplifier-A stand-alone device which attaches directly to the AV-2000 facepiece and amplifies the user's voice over a wider range an distance.
