F.5 Team Operation
Entry Control Board channel slots can be linked to form fixed teams. The size of
each team is decided at the time of order and configured during the factory
commissioning process (contact Dräger for details).
F.5.1 Use with Telemetry
If a selective evacuation signal (see Evacuation Signal – Selective: Section 5.4.1
on Page 17) is sent to one team member, all other team members are also
automatically ordered to evacuate.
F.5.2 Use without Telemetry
The countdown time for all team members is synchronized to the time of the team
member with the shortest time remaining. A 66% or 33% signal is acknowledged
by pressing the channel evacuation button of any team member.
If elapsed time (count up) is used on an Entry control board configured for team
operation, the team members’ times are not synchronized.

The Entry Control Board is able to store user defined keywords that can be added
to incident reports. When keywords are selected, they are added to the events list
for the incident, and can be downloaded to a computer later as a part of the
datalog. Programming the keywords and downloading the datalog require the
