Overview
The Firecom pantherCCS is a digital intercom designed for use in rugged, physical conditions and challenging
acoustic environments. The durable construction, with recessed controls, is ideal for use on fire apparatus, emergency
vehicles or any other mobile command equipment. The pantherCCS provides high volume, clear digital audio
communication. NFPA 1500 standards require hearing protection for extreme noise environments over 98dB.
Firecom headsets should be added to the intercom system for additional hearing protection.
The digital, two-wire system is designed to provide clear communication for all personnel with minimum connections.
Multiple pantherCCS units may be installed in series to service a large network of stations without any loss of signal.
The remote unit, typically installed at the ladder tip, continuously transmits to base station units. Base station units
include a Push-To-Talk (PTT) button to transmit to other intercom positions. Both the remote unit and base station
are equipped with two headset jacks. With the addition of headsets, all personnel will have full two-way intercom
communication, radio transmit and receive (requires an interface box), as well as 24db noise reduction to meet
NFPA 1500 standards.
Radio transmit and receive can be added to the pantherCCS with the analog interface unit. The interface option
provides full radio communications with either a Firecom "in-cab" intercom or with direct input from a two-way radio.
The pantherCCS base stations keep personnel fully informed by monitoring radio traffic. In addition, all positions on
the pantherCCS have radio transmit capability by using the PTT button on the Firecom headset.
Headphone jacks are provided for full duplex, hands-free communication, with the addition of Firecom headsets.
Firecom's pantherCCS intercom speaker is loud enough to cause hearing damage. Use the
volume control provided on the intercom to reduce the speaker volume to a safe level for the
environment in which the intercom is being used or use Firecom headsets to reduce noise.
