| How
does an automatic inflator in a lifejacket work? |
|
| SECUMAR
lifejackets are equipped with the fully automatic inflation device
SECUMATIC 3001 S that inflates the lifejacket without any action
required by the wearer. This very sensitive "heart" of the lifejacket
is actuated by a tiny pill that dissolves when in contact with water,
releasing thereby a lever system so that the CO2 can
discharge into the buoyancy chamber. The life of men in distress
may depend on the reliability of this inflator. |

inflator with red/green indicators! |
|
| It
is of great importance that the user of this device is familiar
with it, that he is able to check if it is ready for service and
can rearm it. To meet the stringent requirements of the US Coast
Guard approval for the US market, the SECUMATIC 3001 S inflator
has been designed with a new traffic light indicator, which is now
also available in Europe. The green indicators switch to "red" if
the device is not ready for service. The status of the device is
indicated either by "green" for "o.k.", or red for "stop!". So,
at one glance, you are able to determine the status of your inflator.

SECUMAR lifejackets only: |
| SECUMATIC
3001 S with threefold red - green indicator |
|
| The
new generation of patented inflation devices with this outstanding
feature is available in SECUMAR lifejackets
only! They are the result of 40 years of expertise and experience
in the development of lifejackets and inflation devices. The unique
torque proof CO2 cylinder guarantees the reliable and
tight fit that is required for a reliable inflation. The securing
pin of the manual release breaks away after use so that the lifejacket
must be reloaded for service again with a new cylinder and a new
pin. A missing cylinder or pin would make the indicators show "red".
Operating mistakes with the SECUMATIC 3001 S can hardly occur. |
