Key Features
-
Backplate and Harness Assembly: Built with a tough, lightweight composite backplate for durability under harsh conditions. The harness is ergonomically designed for comfort and long-term wearability, even during physically demanding operations.
-
No Cylinder or Mask Included: This configuration provides the core SCBA system — users must attach a compatible compressed air cylinder and full face mask to complete the setup. This is especially useful for maintenance replacements or modular setups.
-
High-Pressure System Compatibility: The "HP" designation refers to compatibility with high-pressure cylinders, typically rated up to 4500 psi (300 bar), ensuring longer duration air supply.
-
Integrated Hose Routing: Hoses and pressure lines are routed through the backplate structure to minimize the risk of snags or damage during operation.
-
Lung Demand Valve (LDV) Included: The unit features Dräger's proven LDV system, which supplies air only when the user inhales, conserving the air supply and offering responsive performance.
-
NIOSH Certified: The PAS Lite NIOSH HP version meets strict U.S. safety and performance standards for respiratory protective devices in hazardous environments.
-
Comfort and Stability: The shoulder and waist straps are made from durable, chemical-resistant materials and are designed for secure, balanced weight distribution.
