When travelling with the system care should be taken when lifting the units and their travel
cases.
Cases weigh between 19kg and 28kg depending on fit out.
10.4.
Reel/Hose line Forces.
The forces delivered by the haptic hose line can be significant and are equivalent to real
world hose forces. Care should be taken to ensure that the hose line system is
appropriately attached to a wall or anchor point and that the user is prepared and
supported for the force to be exerted when operating the nozzle.
10.5.
Heat.
The heat suit is capable of producing temperatures of up to ~70 degrees Celsius. The vest
should be worn under PPE but over a suitable cotton t-shirt or similar. Hot temperatures
are only created when in close proximity to a virtual fire for a very short period of time so as
to ensure no lasting discomfort to participants. Heat can be removed instantly by
disconnecting the magnetic heat suit power connector or by clicking heat off in the iPad
application.
11.
Maintenance
11.1.
SCBA mask.
The half facemask should be removed from the SCBA backplate and regulator assembly
after each use and cleaned as per departmental decontamination standard operating
procedures. Ensure that the mask is thoroughly dry before re-attaching to the FLAIM
Trainer™ system as damage to the breath detection system can occur.
11.2.
Batteries.
Batteries should be charged after use and should never be left connected to the SCBA sets
for extended periods. Batteries should be inspected before and after use and disposed of
and replaced if swelling, cuts, nicks or damage to the pack is detected.
The batteries used by FLAIM Trainer™ are high capacity and should be treated with respect.
Lithium Polymer batteries if punctured or treaded incorrectly can cause fire and injury.
11.3.
SCBA.
Straps and the harness should be stowed appropriately before donning to ensure longevity
of the SCBA backpack.
11.4.
Head Mounted Display (HMD).
The HMD should never be left hanging from its cord as damage can occur. The HMD is
robust but should only be cleaned with lens wipes as use of a cloth to clean lenses may
scratch them and distort imagery.
