Description

2.8.4 Telemetry Module

The telemetry module, available only for SCBAs with integrated PASS devices, provides two-way
communication with Incident Command. The telemetry module transmits statistics such as cylinder
pressure, approximate service time remaining, PASS alarms, low battery alarms, and thermal alarms
to Incident Command, and enables remote evacuation by Incident Command. For more details, see
Section 17 "Telemetry Module".

2.8.5 Rescue Belt II System

The Rescue Belt II system is a personal escape system that can be installed in place of the lumbar
pad in a G1 SCBA. The Rescue Belt II system is designed to provide a means of escape from an
elevated position. The Rescue Belt II system must be used in accordance with the user's fire depart-
ment procedures. For detailed inspection and operation instructions, refer to the Operating Manual:
G1 Rescue Belt II (P/N 10164117).

2.8.6 Integrated Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC)

The integrated thermal imaging camera (TIC) displays a clear thermal image on the color display of
the control module. The TIC option is compatible with all pre-existing versions of the G1 SCBA and
requires no new or additional power sources. The camera sensor is built directly into the G1 SCBA
control module. TIC mode is controlled easily through buttons on the control module. With TIC mode
engaged, the user can toggle the display between multiple user-defined color palettes to improve
thermal scene visibility. The TIC control module includes a longer hose to provide increased mobility
to scan and view the thermal scene. For detailed inspection and operation instructions, refer to the
Operating Manual: Integrated Thermal Imaging Camera (P/N 10176561).

2.8.7 Speaker Module

US
The speaker module is turned on when the cylinder valve is opened and the electronics on the
G1 SCBA are powered up. The speaker module amplifies and clarifies speech from the facepiece.
The sound of inhalation is not amplified (optional). The speaker module is turned off when the
complete SCBA is turned off. The speaker module can also be activated/deactivated with its button,
which produces a beep when pushed.

2.8.8 Spectacle Kit

The spectacle kit lets users mount corrective lenses inside the facepiece.
Individuals who wear eyeglasses must use the G1 spectacle kit to guarantee a correct fit. Ordinary
eyeglasses cannot be worn under the facepiece.
