G1 Power Module - MSA G1 SCBA Operating Manual

Description

G1 Power Module

The power module serves as the power supply and provides all of the information for the control
module, regulator and speaker module.
The power module is connected to the backplate. It connects to the alkaline or rechargeable
battery module, emits audible PASS alarms and pre-alarms and has 4 buddy lights.
The battery module is available in alkaline and rechargeable versions. The alkaline battery module
contains six replaceable alkaline C cell batteries. The rechargeable battery module contains non-
replaceable lithium ion cells. The system notifies the user when the batteries need to be replaced or
recharged by emitting an audible tone from the power module, displaying an empty battery icon on
the display of the control module, and by a flashing yellow LED on the HUD.
The power module is also equipped with a RIT light, which activates when low pressure alarm (config-
urable to medium pressure alarm) occurs, to make it easier to see the UAC in the dark.
The power module has a data logging feature that records information about the SCBA while the
control module is turned on. The power module contains an internal real time clock. This clock is auto-
matically set to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) to download logs, and the A2 will display time
based upon PC settings.
