DESCRIPTION
FIREHAWK M7 TELEMETRY MODULE
The FireHawk M7 Telemetry Module provides the firefight-
e
r with two-way communication with Incident Command.
The firefighter’s vital statistics such as cylinder pressure,
service time remaining, PASS alarm, low battery alarm,
and thermal alarm are transmitted back to Incident
Command. Also, the firefighter has the ability to be evac-
u
ated remotely by Incident Command. The radio trans-
mitter is located inside of the FireHawk M7 Power
Module.
EXTENDAIRE SYSTEM
The ExtendAire System, located on the user’s left chest,
enables two users to share a common air supply during
emergency escape. The users can couple the Firehawk
Second Stage Regulator from one user to the intermedi-
ate pressure manifold of the other user. Both users will
receive intermediate pressure air from the donor's first
stage regulator and cylinder. The duration of the remaining
air supply will be reduced by at least half.
T
he SCBA is approved by NIOSH without inter-connecting
two users to one apparatus. NIOSH does not certify
“
buddy breathers”. Therefore, the attachment of the
receiver's regulator to the donor's apparatus voids the
NIOSH approval for both air masks.
RESCUE BELT
The MSA Fire Service Rescue Belt is a personal escape
system integrated into an FireHawk M7 Carrier and
Harness Assembly. The system is designed to provide the
user a means of escape from an elevated position. Use of
the Rescue Belt must be in accordance with the user’s fire
department procedures. Care and use instructions are
provided under a separate manual, P/N 10052748.
