Today, that persistence and innovation has transformed Carleton Life Support into a world-class operation that is on the forefront of superior new technology and continued market leadership.

GU-313 Oxygen Control Panel Assembly

The Carleton Life Support GU-313 oxygen control panel is designed for use aboard passenger aircraft to automatically initiate the emergency oxygen supply for the passengers in the event of loss of cabin pressure. The panel consists of two manually-operated on-off toggle valves, an automatic altitude-controlled on-off valve, a pressure switch, and a pressure gauge. The flow of oxygen to the passenger oxygen regulators is automatically started at 13,000 ft. [3962.4 m] cabin altitude by the aneroid valve or the flow can be initiated manually at any altitude. A panel lamp lighted by the pressure switch indicates that oxygen is being provided. The cross feed toggle, when in the “on” position, connects the crew oxygen regulators to the passenger oxygen supply.

Features:

  • Manual toggle override provides total oxygen supply capability.
  • Automatic panel light indicates system is operating.
  • Light weight.
  • High reliability.
