Product Information :
Accountability is key to every firefighter’s safety on a fire
scene. You simply can’t afford not to have the very best
telemetry technology available. And it’s here!
MSA’s new ICM TxR Accountability System revolutionizes
fireground safety by combining the latest computer software with
a high-performance radio module and the field-proven technology
of MSA’s ICM Tx Integrated PASS.
Add this technologically-advanced Accountability System to MSA’s
state-of-the-art Fire- Hawk® Air Mask, and you’ll be wearing the
best integrated SCBA-Accountability System available.
A new way to monitor vital information
• Each MSA base station can monitor up to 50 firefighters, and
you can use multiple base stations on a single computer.
• The ICM TxR transmits to incident command the firefighter’s
name, team assignment, cylinder pressure, service-time
remaining, PASS alarms (motion or manual), thermal alarms,
battery status, radio connectivity, and evacuation
acknowledgement.
A fireground management system
• Personalized ID tags for each firefighter tell incident
command exactly who is on scene.
• An integrated PAR (personnel accountability report) timer
helps manage radio calls to each team.
• Incident command can manually add firefighters who are not
wearing an SCBA or mutual aid firefighters, so all personnel can
be accounted for.
Intuitive and easy to use
• Assign firefighters to teams by clicking on a firefighter’s
icon and dragging it to another team.
• A volume of critical information is available at a glance of
the screen, due to the large number of firefighters that can be
displayed and the pictorial format of the information.
• Receive both audible and visual indications of critical events
such as PASS alarms or low-pressure alarms.
A two-way evacuation feature
• Incident command is assured that firefighters receive all
evacuation messages. When incident command transmits the alarm
through the ICM TxR, they’ll know the firefighter received it,
because the unit automatically sends a confirmation message to
the base station.
• By simply pressing a button on his/her own personal ICM TxR
unit, a firefighter can send a manual confirmation to
acknowledge that they have received and understand the
critically important evacuation message.
• Firefighters will hear the evacuation alarm on their own
personal PASS device. Also, visual indications in the HUD and an
icon on the ICM TxR unit will alert the firefighter that it is
time to evacuate.
• An individual firefighter, a team of firefighters, or all
firefighters can be evacuated.
• Although certain concrete and steel commercial structures can
challenge any radio signal, ICM TxR System coverage with radio
technology provides highly reliable performance for a 1-mile
line-of-sight range.
• Due to the spread-spectrum design, it does not interfere with
other high-band radio frequency equipment.
• For additional safety, both base station and firefighter
modules have an icon message to inform users if a firefighter
falls out of radio signal range, so that alternate
accountability measures, such as voice radio contact with
teammates, can be taken.
