Frequently Asked Questions About PASS Devices and Escape Equipment

Q: What is the difference between a PASS device and an indoor positioning equipment?

A PASS (Personal Alert safety equipment) is a wearable device that sounds a loud alarm when a firefighter is motionless for a set period (typically 30 seconds) or when manually activated. It works independently — no base stations or software required. An indoor positioning equipment uses wearable terminals and base stations to show live location on a map, plus SOS alerts and track playback. It requires infrastructure (base stations, command PC, software). PASS is for individual lifeline alarming; positioning is for team-level location management. They can be used together.

Q: How many base stations do I need for my building?

Base station coverage depends on building size, construction materials (concrete, steel, glass) and layout. As a rough guide: one base station covers approximately 30–50 m radius in open space, or 200–500 m² per floor in typical office buildings. Concrete and steel walls reduce coverage. We recommend providing floor plans so our team can design a base station layout. A site survey is the most accurate method — we can provide remote layout design based on your building drawings.

Q: Can the telemetry equipment work with our existing SCBA brand?

Yes. Our telemetry pressure transducers are compatible with major SCBA brands including MSA, Scott Safety, Dräger and Honeywell. The transducer clips onto the existing cylinder pressure gauge — no modification to your SCBA is required. If you use a less common brand, contact us with the SCBA model and we can assess compatibility. Custom transducer interfaces are available for special applications.

Q: What certifications do the escape rope kits have?

Escape rope kits can be configured with the following certifications: Rope — EN 892 (dynamic climbing rope), EN 1891 (static rope), or NFPA 1983 (life safety rope). Harness — EN 358 (sit harness) or EN 361 (full-body harness). Descender — EN 15151-1. Connectors — EN 362. Anchor sling — EN 795. Each certified item is individually labeled with the standard number, batch number and test date. Specify your required certification when ordering — different standards may affect price and lead time.

Q: How long do the batteries last in PASS devices and positioning terminals?

PASS devices with AA alkaline batteries: approximately 6–12 months in standby mode (depending on alarm usage). Rechargeable lithium battery option: approximately 8–12 hours continuous use, recharge in 2–3 hours. Positioning terminals: approximately 8–12 hours continuous use with built-in rechargeable battery, recharge in 2–3 hours via charging case or USB. Thermal/telemetry wearable alarms: approximately 8–12 hours. Telemetry case internal battery: approximately 8 hours continuous use. All battery times are estimates — actual life varies with temperature, alarm frequency and usage pattern.

Q: Can the four electronic systems be integrated into one platform?

Yes. PASS, indoor positioning, thermal alarm and telemetry can be configured to share data through a common command platform. pairing levels range from basic (two systems paired) to full pairing (all four on one dashboard). At full pairing, incident commanders see every firefighter's location, PASS alarm status, heart rate/temperature, and SCBA cylinder pressure on a single screen. pairing is configured per project scope — device settings and display can be configured. Contact us for an Pairing assessment based on your existing equipment and requirements.

Q: What training is required to use these systems?

Training duration: PASS units require 15 minutes per operator covering power control, alarm testing, manual activation, low battery indicator. Indoor positioning: 1–2 hours for terminal users (wear, SOS, charging); 4 hours for device administrators (software, base station management, map setup, troubleshooting). Thermal/Telemetry: 2–4 hours for command staff (wearable use, console operation, alarm response, data review). Escape rope: 4–8 hours practical descent training strongly recommended, provided by certified rope access trainers. Training materials (user manuals, quick-reference cards, video tutorials) are included with all systems. On-site training can be arranged for large orders.

Q: How do I maintain and inspect escape rope?

Inspect rope before and after each use: check for cuts, abrasions, burns, chemical contamination, soft or hard spots, and core-sheath slippage. Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water — never use bleach or solvents. Dry naturally in shade away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from UV light, chemicals and sharp objects. Rope should be retired after 5 years from manufacture date (even if unused), or immediately after any fall load, visible damage, or chemical contamination. Keep a log book for each rope recording inspections, usage and retirement. Replacement rope available at any time.

Q: What is the warranty on electronic systems?

Standard warranty: 1 year against manufacturing defects from date of delivery. Extended warranty (2–3 years) available at additional cost. Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship — does not cover damage from misuse, water immersion beyond IP rating, drops, unauthorized repair, or normal wear and tear (batteries, cables, consumables). Repair service available for all items beyond warranty — contact us for RMA and repair quote. Spare parts (batteries, cables, sensors, terminals, displays) available for all systems. Device Maintenance: minor updates free within warranty; major upgrades quoted separately.

Q: Can I order a mixed configuration of different products?

Yes. We can configure mixed orders combining PASS devices, positioning equipment, thermal alarms, telemetry equipment and escape rope kits to your exact requirements. Each product type is specified, packed and shipped separately within the same order. Mixed orders are common — for example, a fire department might order 60 PASS devices + 1 positioning equipment + 2 telemetry equipment + 10 escape rope kits in one order. Provide your requirements and we will provide a consolidated quotation with itemized specifications, packing and delivery schedule.

Q: Are these systems used in real fire incidents?

PASS devices are standard equipment for professional firefighters worldwide and have been used in countless structural fire incidents. Indoor positioning, thermal alarm and telemetry equipment are used by progressive fire departments and industrial safety teams for enhanced situational awareness. Our equipment is designed and tested to relevant international standards. We can provide reference lists and case studies on request (subject to customer confidentiality agreements). We recommend thorough testing and training before deploying any electronic safety equipment in live operations.

Q: How is data privacy handled for positioning and telemetry equipment?

Positioning and telemetry data (firefighter location, vital signs, SCBA pressure) is stored locally on the command PC/server within your organization. Device data displays on the included console within your facility. Data access is controlled by user accounts and permissions on the standard console. Historical data can be exported for post-incident review or deleted as per your organization's data retention policy. For customers with specific data security requirements (military, government), encrypted storage and secure communication protocols are available. Contact us for a data security assessment.
