One somatotype safe monitoring and alarm system

摘要

The system allows a firefighter to monitor a variety of safety related parameters during firefighting activities through audible (18a, 18b) and/or visual (16) means. The system monitors the pressure (26) of the firefighter's breathing system and also monitors ambient temperature (42) and motion (46) of the firefighter. An audible alarm (18a, 18b) is activated to indicate a potential emergency situation relating to low remaining air time (22, 26, 36, 12), impending thermal breakthrough (42, 44, 12) or lack of motion of the firefighter (46, 12).
