Drager PSS 5000 Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus
Description
ERGONOMIC CARRYING SYSTEM
The Drager PSS 5000 has been designed to be not only comfortable but also extremely stable during use in harsh firefighting environments.
Incorporating a rigid harness connection to a fixed-height back plate, advanced harness materials and a pivoting waist belt, the Drager PSS 5000 remains in position regardless of the task in hand.
ADVANCED HARNESS CHOICE
To allow the breathing apparatus to be tailored to the required application, the Drager PSS 5000 utilizes new stateof- the-art harness materials offered in a choice of 2 harness options.
INTEGRATED AND VERSATILE HOSE ROUTING
To minimize the risk of snagging and to guard against physical damage, both the gauge and air supply hoses are integrated within channels in the Drager PSS 5000 back plate. The LDV, Gauge and Rescue hoses can now be routed over the left and/or right shoulders (2 hoses per side), allowing the Drager PSS 5000 to be configured to any standard. Conventional waist mounted hoses can also be fitted making the Drager PSS 5000 one of the most versatile SCBA’s available.
ELECTRONIC MONITORING WITH THE DRAGER BODYGUARD 7000
The Drager PSS 5000 has been designed to be fully compatible with the globally established Drager Bodyguard 7000 electronic signal and warning unit, and the newly integrated PSS Merlin Modem. For maximum protection The Drager Bodyguard 7000 has an innovative compact design that integrates the power supply and pressure sensor modules within the back plate, creating a balanced weight distribution.
Real-time monitoring of essential information such as timeto- whistle (based on current air consumption) and cylinder pressure is communicated via a lightweight handheld electronic gauge and display and/or, a facemask-mounted Head’s Up Display (HUD). Simultaneously this information can be transferred to an Entry Control Board via the PSS Merlin Modem, further enhancing firefighter and fire ground safety.
