SCBA

SuperPASS™ 3 was designed and tested to meet the life safety needs of firefighters. It is third party certified compliant to NFPA 1982, Standard on Personal Alert Safety System (PASS), 2007 Edition.

Meets or exceeds the 2007 Edition Standard Requirements for PASS:

• High Temperature Functionality Test: 500°F for five minutes and exceeded 95 dBA sound pressure at 9.9 feet
• Heat and Immersion Leakage Test: 6 cycles; 15 minutes at 350°F and then immersed in 64°F water, 4.9 feet deep for 15 minutes
• Tumble-Vibration Test: Three hours at 15 rpm, for a total of 2700 revolutions/drops in a four foot diameter tumbling apparatus
• Muffle Test: Sound level evaluated in all five testing positions, exceeded 95 dBA sound pressure at all positions at 9.9 feet

Motion Detection
The SuperPASS™ 3 comes with a new state of the art method of detecting motion. This solid-state, 3-axis accelerometer senses a broad range of motion and is not position sensitive. This results in fewer false alerts which are common in similar motion detectors.

Visibility
The SuperPASS™ 3 uses an integration of high intensity LEDs that illuminate from inside the case, causing the PASS to glow. These LEDs strobe, flash and pulsate indicating PASS status; Sensing, Pre-Alert and Alarm modes. These colours and patterns include those that are most easily recognized.

Sound Intensity & Sound Discernability
Dual resonating sound cavities produce 95+dBA, making SuperPASS™ 3 the loudest NFPA compliant stand-alone PASS available to the fire service. More important, the sound signature is designed to generate multiple tones that sweep through a range of 500-4,000 Hz. This sound signature incorporates a momentary pause every 4 seconds, allowing the PASS to be identified and tracked audibly.

Durability
This new generation of PASS products were re-engineered to meet the rigorous durability requirements of the fire service. The primary function of the protective translucent silicone cover protects the PASS from severe impact, vibration and the adverse effects of high temperature and advanced polymer which protects the PASS from exposure to moisture, chemicals and other hostile agents.

Attachment Methods
Two methods of attachment are provided for ease of use. The time tested wire clip easily captures and securely holds the PASS to SCBA straps. Or use the "SA-clip" that enables the end user to easily attach the PASS to turn-out gear in a stand-alone configuration for use without an SCBA.

Data-Logging
The SuperPASS™ 3 automatically records a data-log of all PASS status change events. The data-log is stored in non-volatile memory and can be retrieved via the infrared port on the PASS by utilizing the Grace data-log retrieval software. The required data-log events are time and date stamped down to 1 second resolution. The last 8,192 events are stored.

Resistance Temperature Detector - RTD
Introducing the first temperature displays that provides firefighters with accurate feedback of the environmental temperature. The rugged RTD sensor monitors the temperature of the environment firefighters routinely encounter. The RTD accurately senses temperature readings up to 1,000°F with reading displayed on a large LED readout. Temperature information is easy to read in a dimly lit or smoke filled environment. The RTD temperature readout can be displayed in Centigrade or Fahrenheit. An audible warning is activated when firefighters are exposed to potentially dangerous temperatures. A time weighted average of heat exposures activates the audible heat alarm when the environmental conditions reach predetermined levels. The SuperPASS™3 RTD feature is available only on Model SP3-RTD.

Integrated Temperature Detector
SuperPASS™3, Model SP3-H, is available with integrated temperature sensing. This internal sensor monitors thermal inertia exposure. When the firefighter exceeds a predetermined time weighted average temperature threshold, the audible heat alarm is activated.

Approximate response times for optional Integrated Temperature Detector:

When the Accountability Key is removed, SuperPASS™ 3 turns "On", and the operational signal is heard. A visual green LED wig-wag display indicates that the SuperPASS™ 3 unit is in the "Sensing" mode.

Battery Life
Re-engineered electronics and power supply, using four AA batteries triples previous PASS battery life. Expect over 200 hours in Sensing Mode and 10 to 12 hours in Alarm.
