11 <br /> <br />h. When the PASS is manually activated, the locator system shall immediately emit a <br />2.4 GHz signal to be received by a separate hand-held receiver. <br />i. When the PASS is activated due to lack of motion, the locator system shall have a <br />ten second delay prior to emitting a 2.4 GHz signal to be received by a separate <br />hand-held receiver. <br />j. The system shall utilize a 2.4 GHz signal to provide the best path to a “downed” <br />firefighter. <br />k. The locating system shall be wirelessly programmable with eight alpha-numeric <br />characters to provide identification information. <br />l. The PASS system shall be upgradeable to include a 2.4 GHz integrated SCBA <br />air/PASS telemetry management system. <br /> <br />G. Console: <br />a. The console shall be located on the user’s right shoulder strap. <br />b. The console shall contain an integral edge lit mechanical pressure gauge that is <br />automatically turned on by opening the cylinder valve. <br />c. The console shall display to the user the following: Pre- Alarm: alternating red <br />flashing LED’s; Full Alarm: dual flashing red LED’s and a flashing PASS icon; Low <br />Battery: red flashing LED’s; Normal System Operation: flashing green LED. <br />d. The console shall contain a photo sensing diode to dim and brighten the HUD as the <br />environment changes. <br />e. The console shall contain push buttons for user interface. <br />f. The push buttons shall be designed to minimize accidental activation. <br />g. A yellow color-coded push button shall permit system reset. <br />h. A red color-coded push button shall permit manual activation of the full alarm mode. <br /> <br />H. Sensor Module: <br />a. The system shall include a sensor module mounted to the SCBA backframe and <br />located in an area between the cylinder and backframe in a manner designed to <br />protect the assembly from damage. <br />b. The sensor module shall contain a motion sensor that is sensitive to user hip <br />movement to reduce false activations. <br />c. The sensor module shall contain redundant, dual sound emitters for the audible <br />alarm and dual visual “buddy” indicators. <br />d. The sensor module sound emitters shall be oriented in multi- directions for optimal <br />sound projection. <br />e. The visual indicators on the backframe mounted sensor module shall flash green <br />during normal operation. <br />f. The visual indicators shall flash red 1) when the device is in pre- alert; 2) when the <br />device is in full-alert; and 3) when the SCBA has reached one-third bottle pressure. <br /> <br />I. Rapid Intervention Connection: <br />a. The SCBA shall incorporate a RIC/UAC fitting to be compliant with the 2013 edition <br />of the NFPA 1981 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus standard. <br />b. The RIC/UAC shall be an integral part of the high-pressure hose that attaches the <br />cylinder valve to the first stage pressure reducer. <br />c. The RIC/UAC inlet connection shall be within 4” (4-inches) of the tip of the CGA <br />threads of the cylinder valve. <br />d. The RIC/UAC shall consist of a connection for attaching a high- pressure air source <br />and a self-resetting relief valve allowing a higher pressure than that of the SCBA to <br />be attached to the SCBA. <br />6.1.D. - Page 13
