SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS [BACK]  [NEXT]

Simplicity

       

The new FireHawk Air Mask has been designed to be simple to use and easy to own. Ease of use is accomplished with more user options than any SCBA on the market. Ease of ownership speaks to the Air Mask’s low cost of ownership and MSA’s long-standing commitment to providing customers with the upgrade options they need.

Here are just a few examples:

 An optional swiveling lumbar pad for

maximum freedom of movement and

comfort when crawling or climbing.

 A slide-to-connect or push-to-connect

regulator attachment to meet the widest

range of your preferences.

 An integrated shut-off to prevent the loss

of cylinder air when disconnecting the

second-stage regulator.

 

ALSO NOW AVAILABLE THE M7 SCBA CBRN

M7 Responder!!!!

  

 An open-form cylinder band to allow

rapid drop-in cylinder replacement,

eliminating webbing adjustments and secondary retaining clips.

 Modular "stand alone" electronic components for easy maintenance, with no wires to route and no complicated mounting brackets.

 A power-saving mode on the heads-up display, which is set as a default to maximize battery life, with a continuous-on mode that can

be selected to provide a constant LED display.

 An optional ICM unit that serves as an

integrated PASS and low-pressure warning

device, with an optional digital display of

cylinder pressure and time remaining. This

ICM unit is also available with data logging

and downloading capabilities, to track the

most recent 30 hours of use.

  

 A maintenance policy that delivers the lowest possible cost of ownership, based on the frequency of use of the Air Mask. For many departments, this means only conducting an annual flow test according to the NFPA 1852

standard. Even a busy department using one

cylinder every other day would find the cost

of maintaining an SCBA to be less than $7

per year.

 State-of-the-art regulator designs that have among the fewest number of parts in the

industry. The Firehawk regulator requires no

tools, lubricants, or sealants in its maintenance.

 NFPA and CBRN upgrade kits to help

users meet the most current performance

standards.
