TEMET LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM LSS – 80

System Description

The LSS-80 Protection System comprises a Protective Tent with overhead rope supports and a Filter- Blower Unit provided with an effective Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Filter. The entry to the Protective Tent is through a zippered lock chamber to prevent the loss of positive pressure in the Protective Tent when using the entryway. The system Filter-Blower Unit LSS-FBU (also see Temet product leaflet no: 1274 6601 009) is powered by an electric motor and equipped with a manual hand crank back-up drive easily operable by one person. Additional features of the Filter-Blower Unit are a Pre-filter for removal of coarse particles from the intake air, and an Emergency Light functional in manual operation. The system components are packed in a special container for rapid deployment. Once the necessary preparations are performed, the LSS-80 Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection System can be made fully operational in less than 15 minutes.

The Protective Tent is slightly pressurized with clean, completely toxic free air. The positive pressure inside the tent prevents the diffusion of toxic substances. The air is treated with the Filter-Blower Unit having a nominal air flow capacity of 50 m3/h (29 cfm). The air flow is sufficient to provide a minimum of 25 Pa (0.10 in Wg) positive pressure inside the tent.

The Filter-Blower Unit is based on the acknowledged Temet shelter technology originally developed for the comprehensive Civil Defense shelter program in Finland. The blower and the NBC Filter of the unit are standard components designed according to the Specific Provisions for small K-class shelters issued by the Finnish Ministry of the Interior. The blower and the filter are both type tested and approved by the Ministry and issued official approval code numbers K/420 respectively K/419.

Design criteria of the NBC Filter are as follows:

• removal of all biological warfare agents dispersed in solid powder or aerosol form including Anthrax
• removal of all blister, nerve and generally poisonous gases potentially used in chemical warfare or terrorist actions
• removal of radioactive Iodide (131ICH3) gas potentially released in an Nuclear Power Plant accident

When packed, the size of the container housing the LSS-80 System is 580 x 790 x 980 mm (22.8 x 31.1 x 38.6 in) (w x l x h) with total weight of 70 kg (154 lb.). The container is provided with a set of wheels and handlebars to facilitate the transportation.

When deployed, the size of the Protective Tent is 2500 x 3710 x 2100 mm (8.2.. x 12.2.. x 6.11..) (w x l x h) inclusive the 750 x 750 mm (29.5 x 29.5 in) lock chamber in front of the entryway. Net inside area of the Protective Tent is 7.4 m2 (80 ft2).

The tent bottom is made of wear resistant PVC-coated Polyester fabric, and side walls and ceiling are made of Polyurethane and Silicone coated Polyamide fabric. The tent is supported by overhead ropes fixed to wall or ceiling.

The Filter-Blower Unit provided with Pre-Filter, NBC Filter, Blower with electric and manual drive, Air Flow Meter and Emergency Light functional in manual blower operation.   Internal overpressure inside the Protective Tent is easily sustained also in manual blower operation.

There is no doubt that another terrorist attack will occur in the United States. As Defense Secretary Rumsfeld recently stated on national TV "It is not a question of if but when." The Temet Life Safety System (LSS-80) is currently being used by ALL branches of the U. S. Military along with the Armed Forces of: Australia, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, NATO, Kuwait, Korea, Saudi Arabia and others.

THE LSS-80 IS THE BEST, MOST ECONOMICAL AND MOST EFFICIENT N.B.C PROTECTION SHELTER AVAILABLE ANYWHERE.
