Maritime Damage Tolerant Life Preserver (DTLP) :: MD4020
The MD4020 Marine
Damage Tolerant Life Preserver (DTLP) is designed to withstand a direct
hit from a fire arm or fragment and still inflate (automatically or
manually)�when required. (US Patent 6,453,840, Canadian Patent
2,392,416)
Using Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT™), the
MD4020 will automatically inflate within seconds when submerged in 4 or
more inches of water and will not inflate prematurely due to rain,
humidity or wind-driven sea spray. For missions that require manually
activated inflation, an optional manual conversion cap (MA7219) can be
installed allowing the operator to select the inflation capability
(manual or automatic). The cell can be manually inflated with a simple
pull of the beaded handle while an oral inflation tube provides backup
inflation.
The MD4020 comes with a harness and can be integrated
with most ballistic vests and provides extra flotation to compensate for
the personal equipment and arms carried on missions. No inflator
maintenance is required for five years, unless the DTLP is inflated.

Life Preserver Inflatable Cells
Each DTLP contains two
inflatable cells. If one cell is compromised prior to inflation, the
other cell can be inflated to provide full flotation performance.
If
necessary, the DTLP can be inflated manually by pulling on the beaded
handle for either chamber. Inflating either one or both chambers provide
full function and both chambers have oral inflation backup and pressure
relief valves to prevent over-inflation. |
