The Scot Oxygen Mask Tester
Cliff Jordan
The many diversified environments of aircraft encountered during deployment today has generated a need for an aircrew equipment and communication tester with expanded capabilities and reduced logistical requirements. Scot, Incorporated has addressed this need by designing and developing the Scot Oxygen Mask Tester, which combines aircrew life support equipment pressure and flow testing with communication systems and goggle equipment testing. The pressure and flow testing verifies proper operation of mask valve and provide leak detection in anti-G garments, bladders, oxygen hosing and various flotation equipment. The Scot Oxygen Tester is self-contained, and no external source of oxygen or compressed air is required. The tester has a sealed air system and is designed for use in chemical environments. Communication continuity and microphone testing verifies two-way communication. Built-in indicators allow isolation of communication problems. The Scot Tester is a compact/light weight (35 pounds) unit requiring no high-pressure gas storage with the ability to function on 110-220 VAC or rechargeable internal battery. This combination of size and flexible power source allows deployment to virtually any environment, testing at bare-base locations and reduced cost of deployment and use. The Scot Oxygen Tester eliminates the need for multiple testers including the MQ-1, MH-2, and DMH-1.
