Self Escape SCBA Filter
Last Chance Rescue
Filter® (LCRF) is an SCBA
back up filter for self-
escape in out-of-air
emergency situations.
The filter converts CO to
CO and snaps on most
2
SCBA’s in seconds. The fil-
ter weighs less than one
pound, is compact and has a 5 1/2 year shelf life. The filter
has been tested against 4 common gases that most
threaten firefighters. Essex PB&R Corp., 314-351-6116,

Spark Detection
The FLAMEX Spark Detection and Extinguishing System is a
cost effective solution for
the prevention of bag-
house fires and explosions.
It identifies and extinguishes
a spark in a pneumatic
duct within a fraction of a
second, preventing the
spark from entering filtration
units and storage bins
where violent explosions
and fires can occur. The
system can also be programmed to activate other extin-
guishing agents, alarms, abort gates and initiate equip-
ment shut down. — Flamex Inc., 336/299-2933

Emergency Event Management
Information
Designed to help con-
trol and monitor facili-
ties during emergency
situations, Precise
Touch™ is a computer
graphics package for
use in public locations
where responders can
quickly locate an
alarm situation, view floor plans, identify potential hazards
and find emergency exit routes. This intelligent device is
also powered with knowledge to locate where a fire
started, how it is progressing and what potential hazards
may exist, so personnel can quickly locate the nearest
exit route. — Fike Corp.. 816/229-3405

Fire & Flame Detector
Detects all types of fires in all weather conditions at all
altitudes. The FS24X is a QuadBand™ Electro-Optical
Flame Detector. Using
WideBand™ Infrared,
WideBand™ 4. 3 micron IR,
and Visible detection tech-
nology, the FS24X is a for-
ward leap in flame and fire
detection, with a 200 ft,
110° cone of detection.
Sophisticated software algorithms and dual microproces-
sors ensure that the FS24X has the highest fire detection
performance combined with optimal false alarm rejec-
tion. — Sensidyne LP, 800/451-9444, www.sensidyne.com

Personal Gas Monitor
Sensit® P100 for HCN is capable of
measuring and warning of hazardous
levels of hydrogen cyanide (HCN).
This instrument has high and low
alarm levels through audio, visual
and vibratory warnings. TWA and
STEL alarms are also included as well
as alarm-event data logging. The
durable rubber coated housing with-
stands abuse and is nearly waterproof. The Sensit® P100
operates for two years before service is required. —

Fire Rated Containment
The SUPERloc™ hazardous
material storage building by
U.S. Chemical Storage is the
choice for storage of flamma-
bles near or within an existing
facility. The SUPERloc™ wall
construction consists of layers
of UL classified fire-resistant wallboard encased within
heavy steel. Many sizes and accessories are available.
Modular and custom solutions can be configured for larg-
er facilities and ease of use. — U.S. Chemical Storage,

Transformer Protection
During a transformer short circuit, the TRANSFORMER PRO-
TECTOR™ is activated within milliseconds by the first
dynamic pressure peak of the shock wave, avoiding
transformer explosions before static pressure increases.
The mechanical techniques can be applied to all oil-filled
transformers with ratings up to 1,000 MVA and larger. —

Combustible Gas Sensors
J & J Combustible Gas Sensors are extremely rugged
bead (pellistor) type sensors for moni-
toring almost any combustible hydro-
carbon vapors and Hydrogen.
Resistant to mechanical shock and
many of the typical poisoning com-
pounds, they can be installed for
continuous monitoring of air quality in
emission stacks or for leak detection in hazardous loca-
tions. The sensors are able to withstand temperatures up
to 400°F continuous and direct exposure.

Respirator Fit Testing
If your mask requires fit testing, count on the PortaCount
Pro+ to provide an OSHA-accept-
ed fit test method. No other fit
tester can quantitatively fit test all
respirator types – gas masks,
SCBAs, respirators, and N95 dispos-
able masks. If you need a
PortaCount to help cover annual
testing or emergency needs
demands, or your budget doesn’t
allow you to own one, RAECO
offers the respirator fit test systems
for rent on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. — RAECO
