Using The Scba With Telemetry Module - MSA G1 Operating Manual

15.3 Using the SCBA with Telemetry Module

CAUTION!
If the signal strength indicator does not show on the control module display or the base station has
not logged the SCBA on, the base station cannot monitor the user's status.
(1) To activate the control module, open the cylinder valve or push and hold the ALARM button.
An icon representing the SCBA user shows on the computer screen of the base station.
(2) When the base station makes contact with the SCBA and all initial information has been
obtained, the radio link indicator shows in the upper left corner of the control module display.
(3) Monitor the status of the radio link indicator on the display of the control module. If the indi-
cator is yellow, the SCBA is out of range from the base station. When the SCBA is within
range of the base station, the radio link indicator is green.
CAUTION!
If the signal strength indicator does not appear on the control module display or the base station
has not logged the unit on, the base station cannot monitor the status of that user.
Logging the SCBA off of the Base Station
(1) Once the user has returned to fresh air the control module may be turned off.
(2) Close the cylinder valve and purge the remaining air from the system. When the pressure
falls below 15 bar, turn the control module off (sleep mode) by pressing the reset button twice
in approximately one second. (When the SCBA is logged on to a base station, there may be
a delay between the two rapid presses of the reset button and the actual shutdown of the
control module. Before the control module completely turns off, the base station must log off
the SCBA and send out a final confirmation signal.
If the SCBA is logged on to a base station, Incident Command can send an evacuation signal to
the SCBA. When the base station sends an evacuation signal, the running man icon flashes on
the display of control module and the power module emits a unique audible alarm. The user must
push the green RESET button twice within approximately 1 second to confirm the evacuation
signal. When the evacuation signal is confirmed, the running man icon stops flashing and shows
steady on the display until the control module is turned off.
