Click Next to choose the models for import.
The screen will list all of the models in the selected
database that have serial numbers assigned to them.
Select a row by clicking in it so the whole row appears
highlighted and click the "Choose Model" button at
lower left. The Choose Model screen will be shown. If
the model that is being exported from Access matches
an existing model in the new PostgreSQL database,
then select it. Otherwise, click the "New" button and
add the model specifications into the new database.
Continue with this process of selecting the serial
numbers from the access database and exporting
them into the new PostgreSQL database until all
models have been entered.
Once all serial numbers have been successfully
imported into the PostgreSQL database, click Next.
The software will show the numbers of serial numbers
that were imported, and will show those that were not
imported. Apparatus with serial numbers already
present in the PostgreSQL database will not be
imported.
To import the complete content of TestTair 3
database, you must have the TestTair 3 software
installed on the same PC.
7. Connect the breathing
apparatus to the TestAir 4.
Now that the software is installed and running, and the
TestAir 4 is assembled, it is time to connect the
breathing apparatus to the TestAir 4. One of the
strengths of the TestAir 4 is its adaptability. For simpler
tests, the breathing apparatus's facepiece serves as
the only interface between the TestAir 4 and the
breathing apparatus. More complex tests require the
use of a series of manifolds to deliver pressure levels
from points in the breathing apparatus's airstream to
the TestAir 4's internal transducers. Every breathing
apparatus is different, so specific parts and instructions
may be required for your breathing apparatus to be
connected to the TestAir 4.
The Complete SCBA Test requires the following
connections between the SCBA and the TestAir 4:
1. The breathing apparatus facepiece is put on the
TestAir 4's anatomically correct test head, just as it
would be placed on the head of a person. See
section 7.2 below.
2. The appropriate high or medium-pressure manifold
is inserted between the cylinder and the first stage
regulator and then connected to the high-pressure
inlet fitting located at the lower right side on the
front face of the TestAir 4. See section 7.3.
3. If possible, the high pressure manifold is
connected from a location downstream of the first
stage regulator and upstream of the facepiece to
the medium pressure inlet, which is located at the
lower left side on the front panel of the TestAir 4.
(See section 7.4)

7.1 Identify the major parts

First identify the three manifolds that are included with
the TestAir 4*. Each of the manifolds comes with a
factory label that identifies it by name and part number.
Medium pressure manifold
The Medium pressure manifold can be recognized by
its CEJN-fitting and gasket for demand valve
connection.
