The state-of-the-art Ultralight Cap Lamp System has the brightest prefocused spotlight available (tungsten halogen) and provides exceptionally brilliant illumination of the work site. It has a long-life Luminator battery and a variety of battery charging equipment available. The two-inch diameter, state-of-the-art Ultralight Cap Lamp headpiece is made of high-impact polycarbonate and consists of only five major parts:

• A one-piece polycarbonate bezel/lens (glass-laminated lens optional!.
• A computer-designed, prefocused bulb/reflector assembly, featuring a high output, tungsten-halogen bulb, accurately positioned in the focal point of the reflector to assure a good spot.
• A plug-in tungsten-halogen bulb emergency escape light.
• A main ·housing with a printed circuit board for bulb and battery cable connections.
• A three-position switch.

A wire spring keeps the bulb/ reflector assembly properly resting against the lens to reduce vibration and mechanical shock.
The prefocused bulb/reflector assembly eliminates the need for a focusing mechanism. Both the on/off switch and the charging contact are located in the headpiece housing. With only four major parts, inventory, replacement stocks and downtime are minimized.
The tungsten-halogen bulb provides a white, bright light, achieved with little battery power consumption, because tungsten-halogen bulbs are extremely efficient. In fact, more light output is achieved without reduction in bulb life. The light is also softer to miner's eyes.
In addition, the light output is more consistent, providing 85 to 95% of its initial light output, even at 70% of life expectancy. The bulb has a 1.0 amp rating at 4 volts. This lower amperage allows for longer cap lamp use between charges.
The prefocused bulb/reflector assembly efficiently concentrates over 90% of the light into a highly concentrated beam for exceptionally bright illumination ofthe work site.

Power Builder® Charger Stations MSA offers a variety of charging stations, including an AC single-unit and a 10-unit station. The 10-unit charger can be tabletop mounted, wall mounted, or stacked to convert into a multi-station charger for up to 60 stations.
The Power Builder Charger uses a microprocessor control that is efficient and never needs recalibration. It uses constant current and constant potential charging. No adjustments are required. LED colored lights let you know the condition of the battery at all times. No rectifier is required. The charger is self-contained. All AC chargers can run on 110 or 220 current.
See Bulletin 02-00-01-MC for details on all MSA Cap Lamp Systems and Accessories.

Miner's Support System and Multipurpose Pouch
The Miner's Support System from MSA is a lightweight but sturdy miner's belt that offers comfort, lumbar support, versatility and durability. It enables the miner to carry the cap lamp battery pack, filter self-rescuer, SCSR, tools, etc., on the job. A one-inch reflective strip sewn over a two-inch nylon strap makes the support system highly visible.
For more complete information, see Bulletin 0115-03.
The Miner's Support System cannot be used as a safety belt as it is not designed to withstand the load of a free-fall hazard.

Provides emergency protection against carbon monoxide.
The W65 Self-Rescuer Respirator provides emergency respiratory protection against carbon monoxide gas resulting from under­ground fires or explosions. A one-time-use device for escape purposes only, it provides respiratory protection against carbon monoxide in otherwise respirable air; it should not be used in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen or in atmospheres containing other toxic gases and vapors. Protected by a rugged stainless steel case, it weighs only 2.2 pounds.
Approvals
The W65 Self-Rescuer Respirator is approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (Approval No. TC-14G-82) for self­rescue from carbon monoxide. (Previously assigned Bureau of Mines Approval No. 14F-76.)

The Escort ELF Sampling Pump can be used for personal and area sampling. The state-of-the-art electronic laminar flow sensor, consisting of a laminar flow element and pressure sensor, provides constant flow (volume) control, with ±2.5% regulation of flow rate (from 1 to 3 lpm) and automatic compensation for changes in battery voltage, temperature, altitude, and sample load.
An internal secondary standard calibrates the pump continuously and needs to be checked against a primary standard only once a month (or every 200 hours for coal mine dust sampling). U.S. Patent No. 5,295,790.
Approvals
Escort ELF Sampling Pumps are NIOSH-certified for coal mine dust sampling (TC-74-030). They are MSHA-certified as intrinsically safe for underground use (Approval No. 2G-3924-1). The Escort ELF pump has been approved for intrinsic safety by UL for use in Class 1, Groups A, B, C, 0; Class II, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Division I locations.

General-Purpose Cassette
The general-purpose cassette is a sample cassette that can be used for silica sampling. This cassette can also be used for all airborne particulate collection not limited to quartz or silica. This cassette is individually packaged in a sealed plastic bag. Each cassette is weighed by a robot to .01 mg at 70°F t/- 5° and 455 RH t/- 10%. Each cassette is attached to a Dust Data Card which includes the cassette serial number and actual weight. The cassette inlet contains a tamper-proof deflector plate, and the outlet contains an anti-blow-back check valve. Both the inlet and outlet openings are capped to ensure cleanness. The perimeter of the cassette housing is sealed with tamper-proof sealing tape.
Because of the extreme accuracy of the MSA weighing process, users of this cassette can sample the atmosphere for dust particulate and have the analytical analysis performed with complete confidence in its accuracy.

Coal-Dust Sampling MSA's preweighed filter cassettes consist of a sealed outer plastic capsule and an inner preweighed filter capsule. Each cassette is supplied with a mine data card for the weight of the filter capsule to be recorded and sent in a mailing carton addressed to MSHA.
