ICU – the Electronic Control Unit for Breathing Apparatus

This alarm system continually monitors the following:

• Pressure
• Motion
• Temperature
• Remaining service time
• Battery capacity

The ICU replaces the simple standard pressure gauge but incorporates a gauge in addition to the electronic features. Furthermore, the ICU has a motion sensor which gives alarm if the user is motionless thus facilitating locating and helping the fire fighter.

The advantages of the ICU:

• Electronic control unit with pressure sensor and mechanical pressure gauge [back up system]
• Automatic activation when opening compressed air cylinder
• Indication of proper functioning by LEDs
• Illuminated display on inquiry, e.g. remaining service time, pressure alarming
• Audible alarm with varying sound patterns at pressure levels of:
  150 bar - 100 bar - 60 bar
• Additional visible alarm [LEDs] from 60 bar dow
•  Indication of dropping pressure by graphic symbol
• Indication of cylinder pressure on luminescent analog pressure gauge
• Retreat time can be programmed
• Audible warning at temperature increase
• Battery capacity indication and audible warning of low battery
• Integral motion sensor
• Flashing LED and audible alarm at motion stand-still
• Button for manual alarm in emergencies
• Data storage of information for up to 30 hours of use duration
• User-friendly readout software for PC
• Flexible alarm point setting via software
• Standard interface to PC
• Key can be retrofitted as an option
