Personnel Id Tag - MSA G1 SCBA Operating Manual

Personnel ID Tag

16 Personnel ID Tag
An ID Tag is used to assign a user's name to the SCBA. The name assigned to the SCBA will be
displayed for that SCBA on the MSA Accountability System Software and data log within the SCBA.
The name ID Tag must be scanned into the power module at the start of each shift (every 24 hours by
default) or prior to each use.
®
NOTE: The MSA A2 Software can be used to change this default to allow a name ID to be perma-
nently assigned to the SCBA until a new name ID Tag has been scanned.
A team ID Tag can also be used to assign a team/truck and position to the SCBA. If a team ID Tag
has been scanned into the control module but a name ID Tag has not been scanned, the team ID will
be displayed on the SCBA monitoring software to provide accountability even if the firefighter forgot
to scan the name ID Tag. Once a team ID Tag has been scanned into the control module, the team ID
will remain with the SCBA until another team ID Tag has been scanned. If a team ID or name ID has
not been assigned to the SCBA, the power module serial number will be displayed as the firefighter's
ID when logged onto the base station.
A base station ID can be used to assign a specific base station ID to an SCBA. When more than one
base station is present and actively monitoring at an incident, an SCBA with an assigned base station
will search for the preferred base station first to log on to, and if it does not find the assigned base
station within 20 seconds, it will search for the first available base station and log on to it. If a base
station ID has not been assigned to the SCBA, it will log on to the first base station that it finds once
the unit has been turned on. Once a base station ID tag has been scanned into the power module,
this base station ID will remain with the SCBA until another base station ID tag has been scanned.
The ID Tag has a space for the user to place a label in which the ID information can be written on the
outside of the ID Tag for easy identification.
Before using the ID tag, inspect for damage or cracks in the case. If damage is found, discard and
replace the ID tag.
