COMPONENTS
CLEAR COMMMAND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The Clear Command Communication System is an elec-
tronic speech projection system available with either an
amplifier or an amplifier with radio interface connection.
FIREHAWK M7 TELEMETRY MODULE
The FireHawk M7 Telemetry Module provides the firefight-
er with two-way communication with Incident Command.
The firefighter's vital statistics such as cylinder pressure,
service time remaining, PASS alarm, low battery alarm,
and thermal alarm are transmitted back to Incident
Command. Also, the firefighter has the ability to be evac-
uated remotely by Incident Command. The radio trans-
DESCRIPTION
mitter is located inside of the FireHawk M7 Power
Module.
EXTENDAIRE SYSTEM
The ExtendAire System, located at the end of the interme-
diate pressure line, enables two users to share a common
air supply during emergency escape. The users can cou-
ple the Firehawk Responder Second Stage Regulator from
one user to the intermediate pressure manifold of the
other user. Both users will receive intermediate pressure
air from the donor's first stage regulator and cylinder. The
duration of the remaining air supply will be reduced by at
least half.
The SCBA is approved by NIOSH without inter-connect-
ing two users to one apparatus. NIOSH does not certify
"buddy breathers". Therefore, the attachment of the
receiver's regulator to the donor's apparatus voids the
NIOSH approval for both air masks.
RESCUE BELT
The MSA Fire Service Rescue Belt is a personal escape
system integrated into an FireHawk M7 Carrier and
Harness Assembly. The system is designed to provide the
user a means of escape from an elevated position. Use of
the Rescue Belt must be in accordance with the user's fire
department procedures. Care and use instructions are
provided under a separate manual, PN 10052748.
