The Bodyguard for Firefighters
22 August 2008
Dreager introduces the Bodyguard 7000 for professional firefighters
Developed by Draeger as part of a modular, complete system solution for professional firefighters, the new Draeger Bodyguard 7000 Electronic Monitoring Unit is designed for use with the innovative Draeger PSS 7000 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).Boasting advanced technology as well as an ergonomic design, this sophisticated electronic signal and warning unit provides continuous monitoring of the operational status of both the firefighter and the BA. Improving firefighter safety as well as comfort and performance, it can also be used in conjunction with other modular items from Draeger such as the new FPS 7000 Head-Up Display and HPS 6200 Helmet.
The revolutionary design of the Draeger Bodyguard 7000 not only ensures a balanced distribution of weight by incorporating the pressure sensor and power supply modules into the backplate of the BA, but it also means that the electronic gauge can be compact as well as lightweight at approx 300g.
Utilising simple, user-friendly push button controls to provide fast access to essential information, the gauge incorporates a highly visible LCD display
that provides accurate and continuously updated data in an easy to read format. This includes time-to-whistle, which is calculated on current air consumption, digital pressure reading in bar, and a simulated analogue
gauge. With integral ADSU and Distress signals, it also performs automatic self tests and system tests and emits both visual and acoustic alarms. For maximum flexibility, it is also offered with a choice of operating modes: Tally and Automatic.
In addition to larger information icons, text information such as user id and text alerts can be scrolled, whilst good visibility is assured, even in poor lighting conditions, by the use of new enhanced backlights and red and blue warning LEDs.
Located in the backplate, the power supply module can be easily and quickly replaced in the field and is available as an AA battery pack which provides operating duration of more than 365 hours during normal use.
Of particular benefit is the fact that each Draeger Bodyguard 7000 can now be programmed to identify the user and/or the Brigade automatically. Prior to use, the user simply uploads his or her personal ID, wirelessly, using a personalised pre-programmed ID card. Parameter settings and datalogging can also be performed easily via a wireless link to the new Draeger PSS 7000 PC Link module and to the PC via a standard USB connection. Draeger PSS 7000 PC software can also be used to tailor the unit to individual requirements or to download and analyse datalogs as and when required.
Draeger Safety manufactures a wide range of respiratory protective equipment as well as personal escape sets, chemical protection suits and both portable and fixed gas detection systems.
