Honeywell TITAN RF PASS

Figure 8: Responder Startup Screen
As the Titan SCBAs are pressurized, the Telemetry units power up and start communicating with the Responder software
through the long-range radio and will begin appearing on the screen as shown in Figure 8. The screen shows firefighters
and the teams the firefighters are assigned to. Selecting the team icon presents the list of firefighters and the status of
each firefighter in the team. The air level displayed for the team is the least amount of air of any member in the team.

Shutting off the SCBAs will remove them from the screen. When all SCBAs have been shut off, the screen will return to the
startup screen indicating “Waiting for Teams”.
3. Personal Accountability Report (PAR)
The RF PASS is designed to simplify PAR by selecting the blue PAR button for the team being displayed or the PAR All to
request PAR from all firefighters at the incident. When the PAR button is pressed, an icon will be displayed with a timer
showing the time since the PAR was issued. This sends a command to the SCBA Telemetry units where the fire fighter
receives an audible and visual signal requesting a PAR response. Pressing the Acknowledgement button twice on the side
of the Auxiliary Module sends a response to the incident commander and clears the PAR icon. The PC interface allows the
incident commander to monitor for any firefighters that have not responded in a reasonable period of time and take
additional action for those firefighters not responding.

4. Loss of Communications
If a firefighter moves out of the range of the long range radio (approximately 1 mile open field), the firefighter through the
RF PASS and the incident commander through the PC screen, will both be notified that communication has been lost. For
the incident commander, a “Lost Comms” icon appears on the display as shown in Figure 11. For firefighters, the green
LED on the Telemetry Auxiliary Module will start flashing. Once communications have been restored, the green LED will
return to solid green and the “Lost Comms” icon will disappear from the PC display.
