Securely controlling the incident - Intuitive Merlin Software
When using the PSS Merlin Software, the PSS Merlin Entry Control Board is not required. The PSS Merlin
PC Modem communicates directly with the wearers’ PSS Merlin Modems. Even non-telemetry users can be
displayed by entering a time to whistle countdown in the Software. Thanks to a weatherproof USB port, the
robust and IP 65 rated PSS Merlin PC Modem does not require an additional power supply. In order to avoid
loss of data, the system offers a three-way back-up: The PC Modem, the Software and an optional, external
memory always save the latest status of the persons being logged on – no data will be lost. When using the
overview mode, an incident commander can gather the information from several, independent entry control
points. Analysis of this data gives a comprehensive picture to aid further decision making. A training mode
gives users the ability to train in the operation of the software and carry out realistic incident simulations. Post
incident, the data collected can be documented in a report whichit is then also possible to load intothe fire
brigade administration software Drägerware.ZMS/fire.
All information at one glance
The Dräger Bodyguard 7000 combines life critical status updates: Displaying cylinder pressure, time to whistle,
acoustic and optical warning signals, automatic distress signals, manual distress signals. When used with the
PSS Merlin Telemetry System, Bodyguard 7000 displays radio signalstatus. All data is stored on the device and
can be documented or easily retrieved to optimize training.
Increased wearer comfort, maximum freedom of movement
The PSS Merlin Modem is designed to fit perfectly onto the backplate of Dräger PSS 5000 and PSS 7000
series breathing apparatus. It is located centrally between the backplate and the cylinder resulting in a
seamless integration with the ergonomic carrying system. The compact design decreases snagging risks; the
clear waist belt allows more freedom of movement. As the PSS Merlin Modem is directly connected to the
central electronics of the Bodyguard 7000, there is only need for a single recharge-able battery to supply power
to both the Bodyguard 7000 and PSS Merlin Modem. This simplifies the battery logistics and charging process.
Increased charging efficency – even in trucks
In order to save valuable time with battery logistics, in-cab chargers are available for both the PSS Merlin
Modem and the PSS Merlin Entry Control Board. The batteries are re-charged easily and effectively, whilst
inside the fire truck.
For users who wish to maintain battery packs off the breathing apparatus, Dräger has developed a bench
system which allows up to 4 battery packs to be charged simultaneously. Uniquely, this charger can also
perform a health check on each pack. Simply insert the battery into the charger – the rest is automatically
carried out by the charging station.
