1.21. OverviewThe Posi 3 USB is a computerized test benchdesigned to evaluate the performance of acompletely assembled self-containedbreathing apparatus (SCBA) and other typesof air-supplied respiratory protectiveequipment.The Posi 3 USB is the standard tester forevery major brand of SCBA. Most SCBAmanufacturers offer brand-specific softwarethat personalizes the Posi 3 USB for thatparticular brand of SCBA.Users who plan to service their own SCBAmust purchase brand-specific software, whichis available directly from the SCBAmanufacturer. Brand-specific softwareincludes all relevant data on themanufacturer’s current models and alsoincludes the manufacturer’s first stagepressure requirements. Standard Posi 3 USBSoftware does not provide pass/fail tolerancesfor first stage performance.This Setup Guide is designed to provide theuser with step-by-step instructions for theinitial setup of the Posi 3 USB.Instructions for running tests are contained inthe Posi 3 USB Help File.1.1Note on Brand-SpecificSoftwareInstallation OverviewPrior to performing tests, the following itemsmust be accomplished:Brand-specific software is planned for mostmanufacturers. Currently the following OEMversions of software are available: Honeywell Safety Products U.S. MSA Dräger ISI Interspiro ScottHoneywell Analytics expects to release otherOEM versions in the near future.In most cases, the SCBA manufacturer willprovide a model-specific adapter for themedium pressure connection.Use of the first stage manifold inconjunction with brand-specific softwareallows the user to test specific breathingapparatus to the tolerances specified bythe SCBA manufacturer and allows theuser to easily isolate problem components.1. Remove the Posi 3 USB and theaccessories from the shipping cartonsand verify that all parts are present. Seesection 2 for the complete parts list.Do not discard the shipping cartons andpacking materials – they are necessaryfor returning the Posi 3 USB to HoneywellAnalytics for its annual calibration.2.

To limit the client's access toonly the PostgreSQL database(s), select"postgres".From the “pgAdmin III” screen, access theTools menu and select Server Configuration /pg hba.conf to access the Backend AccessConfiguration Editor.Under "User", enter a specific user accountname or user group as the network wouldrecognize it.Enter the IP Address filter for the user or usergroup. See the Posi 3 USB Installation helpfile for more information and examples orconsult your IT department.Three options will be shown the first time thisscreen is launched after installation. Thecheckbox at the left of each option indicateswhether or not it is enabled. The first twooptions may or may not be enabled,depending on network configuration. Do notchange them. The unchecked, final optionwill be configured for the Posi 3 USBsoftware's client access.Honeywell Analytics recommends that"Method" be set to "md5".Once Client Access is properly configured,click the Close “X” button to close theBackend Access Configuration Editor.Software installation is now complete.5. Hardware Setup5.1Installing the test headThe test head must be mounted to the top ofthe Posi 3 USB chassis. A gasket installedbetween the top of the bellows assembly andthe bottom of the test head guards againstleakage. A Tygon tube connects the staticpressure port located in the left eye of thetest head with a hose barb fitting on thebellows chamber base plate. The head issecured by four mounting standoffs and fourtightening knobs.Double-click the bottom option to configurethe client access settings.To install the test head on the Posi 3 USBchassis:1. Make sure the base of the testhead, gasket, and bellowschamber inlet area (where thetest head will be mounted) areclean and free of dust and/orother contaminants.The client access configuration windowallows the user to control access to the Posi3 USB databases through the PostgreSQLdatabase server. The settings allow the userto specify the parameters that need to be met2. Screw the four standoffs intoplace at the top of the Posi 3 USBchassis by hand until they are16

tight. No tools are necessary. Do notover tighten! The hexagonal standoffsmay have an arrow etched into one ofthe sides. The arrow on the standoffshould be pointing upwards when thestandoff is properly positioned.5.2Connect the Posi 3 USB to thePCThe Posi 3 USB is connected to the PC viaUSB cable. Once the software is installedand the Posi 3 USB is assembled, use theUSB cable to attach the Posi 3 USB to thePC.3.
