Dräger FPS-COM-PLUS
The Dräger FPS-COM-PLUS communication unit was specifically developed for the Dräger FPS 7000 full face mask. It is mounted to the visor frame and is therefore fully integrated. For clear audibility by voice amplifier or radio – even under extreme conditions.
Product benefits
- Voice only – nothing else
- The microphone of the FPS-COM-PLUS picks up the wearer’s voice inside the mask. This makes it possible to communicate without any interference, even with loud ambient sound. The newly developed digital noise reduction technology filters out any interference that may reach the microphone inside the mask or any acoustic feedback that may occur. In particular, pure breathing sounds are not transmitted to the voice amplifier or the radio. This allows you to concentrate fully on the radio message.
- No unintentional switching on and off
- The ON/OFF switch of the FPS-COM-PLUS can only be operated by applying deliberate pressure to the switch. It is also equipped with a protective rim on one side. This avoids the accidental switching off, of the communication unit while working. Despite these precautions the switch can be easily operated: even with thick gloves.
- High reliability, low costs
- You forgot to turn off the FPS-COM-PLUS after work? Not a problem: the communication unit shuts off automatically, if no breathing sounds are received by the microphone for at least ten minutes (after a pre-notification signal). The automatic shutoff, after a three time prewarning, increases battery life, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures the equipment is ready for use when needed.
- Open to different communication channels
- Use the attached jack to connect the FPS-COM-PLUS to your radio via the external Dräger C-C400 push-to-talk button or the Dräger C-C500 remote speaker microphone (RSM). Alternatively, you can connect the FPS-COM-PLUS directly to the radio and use the built-in push-to-talk button.
- Simple assembly, without special tools
- With the newly developed click-lock system, the FPS-COM-PLUS is attached and removed in just a few steps. When cleaning the mask manually the communication unit does not need to be removed, due to the fact that the FPS-COM-PLUS is IP67 (meaning the unit is protected against the ingress of water or humidity).
- Perfect fit for clear words
- The earpiece must be as close as possible to the ear to make sure important information is not lost and that no radio messages need to be repeated when responding to an emergency. The flexible gooseneck earpiece of the FPS-COM-PLUS can therefore be positioned to suit your head shape – for a perfect fit and excellent audio quality.
