FROM THE LEADER IN SCBA TECHNOLOGY

Snap Change™ Cylinder Connection

The patented Snap Change™ quick cylinder change out eliminates the high-pressure hose and CGA coupling. This makes cylinder change out a snap. When a cylinder is snapped into the pressure reducer, the flashing blue LED lights are activated and alert the user of positive cylinder retention. The Air-Pak® NxG7™ SCBA hip mounted pressure reducer has two glove-friendly rings on either side of the engagement snout. When the handles are pulled simultaneously, the lights flash red signaling disengagement and cylinder pop out.

Lightweight Alloy Backframe

Firefighters have a rugged job that often involves falling against hot masonry walls, being knocked down on concrete floors, sliding through breached walls, or crawling through confined spaces. The lightweight, one-piece aluminum alloy backframe is designed to provide a compact, sturdy and durable housing system for the Air-Pak NxG7 SCBA’s sealed electronics and pressure reducer, and at the same time, be comfortable and promote work efficiency and safety. The frame is contoured to fit the wearer’s back, and place the bulk of the SCBA’s weight on the hips. This configuration considerably reduces shoulder fatigue, and gives the wearer greater freedom of movement.

Hi-Tech Harness System

The Air-Pak NxG7 SCBA harness system is constructed of durable braided para-aramid webbing. The rugged strength of this material eliminates the need for interior steel cables required in competing systems. This remarkably comfortable harness is woven directly through retaining slots in the backframe. Bolts and screws have been eliminated, so tools are never required. Hip and shoulder pads, as well as straps, can be replaced or cleaned by simply unsnapping the dot fasteners. The harness also features an improved hose management system and quick take-up and release. Parachute-style or optional alligator clip fasteners afford efficient adjustment. Doffing is quick and easy because fasteners are over-sized and easily manipulated even with gloved hands. A one-finger release disengages the waist belt buckle.

Space-Age Advancements

• Battery Power Management – One central battery module powers electronics system and eliminates time consuming battery checks and changes. Battery replacement is achieved by unsnapping the battery cover and simply slipping out the sleeve and replacing the 6 standard “AA” batteries. Based on a 25% usage rate, batteries in the Air-Pak NxG7 SCBA will provide extended run time.

• Snap Change™ Cylinder – Scott’s patented Snap Change quick cylinder change out eliminates the high-pressure hose and CGA coupling to make change out quick, simple and easy.

• Hip-Mounted Reducer – On the job-friendly, hip-mounted redundant pressure reducer makes working in the Air-Pak NxG7 SCBA easier.

• Buddy System Indicators – Buddy system indicator lights (LEDS) and sounders are protected and mounted on the backframe, and indicate to fellow firefighters both your PASS status and the status of your available air and cylinder engagement. The indicators are green and quiet when the PASS is monitoring normal movement, but alarm when the wearer is motionless for more than 20 seconds.

• Superior Comfort – By building on the Air-Pak® SCBA’s concept of resting the weight of the SCBA onthe hips, the Air-Pak NxG7 SCBA provides superior working comfort to firefighters.

• Pad and Strap Replacement – By providing for separate pad and strap replacement, maintenance and cleaning of these elements can be achieved with tool-free snap out ease.

• Buddy-Breathing System – Air-Pak NxG7 SCBA features a combined dual EBSS/Airline hose connection option. This unique buddy breathing system allows users to maneuver up to five feet apart while not exposing the recipient or donor to ambient air during connection. Additionally, users can connect to an external air source allowing for extended durations in a bucket truck or HAZMAT situation.

• Control Console – The control console contains a constant-on edge lit light for the pressure gauge that automatically comes on when the cylinder valve is opened. It also incorporates a photo sensing diode which automatically dims and brightens the HUD (Heads-Up-Display) as environmental conditions change.
