Because there is no time for misunderstanding in an emergency: 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.

Benefits

Voice only – nothing else

• The FPS-COM 5000 allows you to communicate without any interference, even in the loudest environment. The 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, breathing sounds are not transmitted to the voice amplifier or the radio. This prevents any misunderstanding and you can fully concentrate on your mission.

Open to different communication channels

• Use the attached jack to connect the FPS-COM 5000 to more than 350 different radio sets via the external Dräger C-C440 push-to-talk button or the Dräger C-C550 remote speaker microphone. Alternatively, you can connect the FPS-COM 5000 directly to the radio and use the built-in push-to-talk button. To reduce the risk of snagging, the device can also be connected to specified radio sets via Bluetooth.

High reliability, low costs

• You forgot to turn off the FPS-COM 5000 after work? No problem: the communication unit shuts off automatically, if there is no breathing sound for ten minutes (after a pre-alarm). This increases the battery life, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures that your equipment is ready for use when needed.

Communication lasting several hours

• In combination with the Dräger PSS® BG 4, which can supply you with breathing air for up to four hours, the FPS-COM 5000 also keeps you in contact with your colleagues during extended missions. Even during complex tasks, you can discuss the subsequent procedure with your mission leader without having to interrupt your task.

Assembly without special tools

• With the newly developed click-lock system, the FPS-COM 5000 is attached and removed in just a few steps. Nevertheless, the communication unit does not need to be removed for manual cleaning as it is protected against the ingress of water or humidity according to IP67.

Perfect fit for clear speech

• The earpiece must fit as closely as possible to make sure important information is not lost and that no radio messages need to be repeated during a mission. The flexible gooseneck earpiece of the FPS-COM 5000 can therefore be adapted individually to suit your head shape – for a perfect fit and excellent audio quality.

The Dräger FPS®-COM 7000 provides hands-free communication for all wearers of respiratory protection devices during a mission. Excellent voice quality is achieved by removing interfering noises.

Benefits

For missions under the harshest conditions

• For missions requiring respiratory protection you have to expect extreme conditions: thick smoke and noiseobstacles that not only cause stress but also significantly hinder any form of communication. This is even more difficult if a chemical protective suit is required: these suits restrict movement and suppress your voice.
• The Dräger FPS-COM 7000 in connection with the proven full-face mask Dräger FPS 7000 was developed especially for these applications. Each word is transmitted clearly and intelligibly to the members of the team.

Noise suppression for optimum voice quality

• The newly developed digital noise reduction automatically suppresses ambient noises and only transmits your voice. In particular, breathing noise is filtered out preventing it from being transmitted to the voice amplifier or the radio. The integrated loudspeakers, with which you can interact directly with the injured people and team members without radio equipment, also have this function.

Wireless connection to the incident commander

• Each Dräger FPS-COM 7000 has an integrated PTT button (push-to-talk) to operate a radio that can be connected as an option. You can communicate using a tactical radio by pressing just one button. The tactical radio can be connected with a cable or Bluetooth. The latter means that there are no cables that could become entangled; reducing the risk of snagging.

Hands-free team communication

• The Dräger FPS-COM 7000 allows fast and efficient communication within one group or among different ones. And it works without pressing a single button. This improves your safety by not distracting you from your task. The voice-activated function also provides full-duplex communication. This means that you can talk and listen at the same time – as if you were on the phone.
• If there is only one radio for the entire group, the system allows the automatic transfer of the received instructions for up to ten group members via short-range radio. This means that only one member of the group needs a tactical radio while everyone is still informed immediately.

Easy operation and individual setup options

• The Dräger FPS-COM 7000 was developed with a focus on ergonomic handling and intuitive operation. The set radio group is announced via the earphones. In addition, different alarm tones warn of low battery status or if you are out of range from the team communication. An optional software allows numerous setting options with which you can adapt the system to your precise operation.
• You can, for example, define the number of groups. With the integrated switch you can switch between up to seven groups during the mission.

Robust and balanced

• The robust communication unit adapts seamlessly to the Dräger FPS 7000. The robust design of the Dräger FPS-COM 7000 can resist even strong shocks and impacts. It is resistant to extreme temperatures and has protection class IP67. This means the Dräger FPS-COM 7000 is waterproof and can be easily cleaned after the operation. In addition, the balanced weight distribution prevents neck muscles from straining and increases wearing comfort – without restricting movement or limiting your field of view.

Flexibility before, during and after the mission

• Thanks to its click connection that is easy to operate, the Dräger FPS-COM 7000 can be attached and removed in only a few steps – within seconds and without special tools. This allows greater flexibility to interchange between different face masks which can quickly be ready to operate by simply removing the protective cap. Therefore, you do not require a separate communication unit for every face mask. The device is easy to clean and maintain due to its easy assembly and distanced position between microphone and face seal.

Because there is no time for misunderstandings in an emergency: The Dräger FPS®-COM 5000 communication unit has been specifically developed for the full-face mask Dräger FPS® 7000 and ensures clear communication through a voice amplifier unit or radio device – even under extreme conditions.

Benefits

Voice only – nothing else

• The Dräger FPS-COM 5000 allows you to communicate without any interference, even in the loudest environment. The digital noise reduction technology filters out any interference that may reach the microphone inside the mask or any acoustic feedback that may occur.
