1.3. Intended use, limitations
SCBAs RN T1, RN e RN BIBO, complete with cylinder, mask and demand valve in the combinations described by the
Configurator, are Type 1 apparatuses, designed for use in an emergency and in industrial applications that require a
high level of respiratory protection, in very polluted environments or with oxygen deficiency areas.
The RN T1 version is of economic type (masks and cylinders are in limited models, medium pressure hose in a single
piece). RN BIBO were specially designed for those that need long duration SCBA. These pieces of equipment are
suitable for long-lasting interventions for survey and inspection purposes. Due to heavy weight of the sets with 9 l
cylinders, only persons in good health and in good physical conditions must be allowed to use them.
RN FR, RN FR T2 and RN FR BIBO are Type 2 apparatuses and they are specially designed for fire-fighting. They were
subject to the Flame Engulfment test as per EN 137:2006 standard and they are therefore suitable for use where the
risk of a flash over is high.
It is extremely important to follow the instructions for use reported on this booklet and it is strictly forbidden to use
the device for purposes other than the ones described in these instructions.
The devices described herein ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDERWATER USE even if their functions remain unaffected
when submerged in water for a short period of time.
Their autonomy depends on the air reserve available. Refer to Table 1 for more information.
Always use breathable air according to the EN 12021 standard.
