3.5 Hose reel
3.6 The Nozzle
The hose reel system provides nozzle reaction
force to the user but also contains the wireless
syncing hardware to enable the system to operate.
The hose reel requires a power connection
(Figure
13)
and is supplied with a country specific IEC lead
(standard computer lead). If operating correctly,
a system power light will show under the ‘Hose
Rewind’ button above the power connection
(Figure
14)
.
The hose reel also requires a solid connection to
an immovable object to provide force feedback to
the trainee. The supplied line can be used to lash
to an object generally in excess of 25kg (50lb).
Now that the SCBA set, tracking hardware,
hose reel and instructor monitoring have been
configured. It’s time to connect a tracking puck
to the nozzle. The tracking puck is magnetically
attached to the front of the nozzle and keyed into
place firmly. Once attached, the puck is turned
on by briefly depressing the power button for one
second
(Figure 15)
.
Important this button is not held down or double
pressed or the puck will need to be re-paired (refer
section 14.1).
