IRIS - Integrated self contained breathing apparatus monitoring and telemetry system. Elements: Electronic monitoring unit (EMU). • Large LCD display. • Constant air pressure read out. • Back-up pneumatic gauge and whistle. • Integrated Infrared motion device. • Panic alarm. • Data logging. • Low battery and high air flow warnings. When connected to telemetry unit: • Notification of withdrawal, Panic alarm and PASS/DSU activation. • Out of range warning. • Transmission of cylinder pressure and warning for low air to the control officer. • Acts as repeater station for control officer evacuation transmitting signals to units out of range of base station. PASS/DSU - Infrared sensor unit. • 112 db alarm when motion detected. Telemetry unit (optional element). • Logs up to 48 users • Evacuation alarm at 3 levels - individual, team and complete(all teams) • Can log user On after they have entered the incident. • The distance between the base station and the SCBA could reach 1km. without significant disturbances in the signal (the quality of the signal depends on the obstacles between the station and the SCBA). • Simultaneous monitoring of all logged breathing apparatus. Ricochet system - allows EMU to be used as transmitter of signal to firefighters outside the signal range. Approved by: European ATEX directive 94/9/EC, Annex II, 1.0.6.
