7.2  Select Simulations Tab

The Simulations Tab is used to control the trainee’s 
experience.  Launching scenarios, enabling heat 
and enabling teleport are all controlled within this 
tab.

Under the Simulations Tab there is a list of all 
installed scenarios.  Once selected, the user can 
then click ‘Run’ to launch the selected scenario. 
Scenarios may take up to 20 seconds to launch.

To end the current scenario, push ‘Stop’.

Also on the Simulation Tab are the instructor 
controls that enable/disable teleport and enable/
disable the heat suit temperature output.

 
Pump Pressure

Pump pressure and by extension, hose force can 
be controlled by the Pump Pressure.  Default pump 
pressures are 400kPa, 550kPa and 700kPa.  Note 
that when 700kPa is selected there is significant 
force applied to the user and this setting should 
not be used for more than a few minutes.  The 
hose reel system is not designed for long duration 
operation at 700kPa.
