Added 15 september 2004:
 
intermediate pressure from the valve group regulator forces( via a small air line and piston) the acoustic reed warning device away from the inhalation side of the breathing bag.  When there is no cylinder pressure, or the cylinder is turned off e.g an entrapment procedure, the flap with the acoustic reeds closes over the inhalation valve and thus lets the user know their situation.
