READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USETPASS®5 Intended UseTPASS®5 is a motion-sensing, radio telemetry PASS device designed for use by ﬁ reﬁ ghters, ﬁ rst-responders, and industri-al users engaged in ﬁ reﬁ ghting, rescue, and other hazardous duties. TPASS®5 provides distinct audible and visual alarms for indicating a user distress or panic alarm. The TPASS®5 also incorporates Evacuate, PAR, and Roll-Call signaling that establishes an Automated Accountability System when used with other Grace monitoring equipment. TPASS®5 has a very loud audio alarm, allowing rescue personnel to rapidly pin-point the location of the ﬁ reﬁ ghter or worker in distress. It is highly recommended that all personnel be thorough-ly trained in the proper use and operation of TPASS®5, in-cluding other Grace equipment such as the In-Command Automated Accountability System prior to use. Always inspect and test TPASS®5 prior to use. Failure to do so may expose the user to serious injury or loss of life.WARNING! When using TPASS®5 with the In-Command system, ensure In-Command Computer Speakers Are Not Muted During Fireﬁ ghting Activities As Emergency Alarms May Not Be Noticed. TPASS®5 Features● Auto-On Activation by Removal of Accountability Key● Panic Button Alarm Activation● Pre-Alert: Audible Warning Before Full Alarm● Automated Accountability System using In-Command● Radio telemetry for immediate notiﬁ cation of ﬁ reﬁ ghter emergency distress● No voice radio needed for Evacuation signaling and user acknowledgement ● Automated PAR check signaling without using a voice radio, conﬁ gurable time from In-Command● Roll-Call signaling without voice radio, conﬁ gurable from In-Command● Audible and Visual Indicators for all Modes of Operation● High performance radio signaling with Smart-Signal® repeating capabilityOperating InstructionsACTIVATING TPASS®5: When the TPASS®5 is removed from a storage position, the Accountability Key automatically detaches, activating TPASS®5 into the motion Sensing Mode. During activation, an operational signal of escalating audio tones will be heard and an alternating display of two green LEDs indicates the TPASS®5 is in Sensing Mode. When TPASS®5 is activated, its internal radio transmits signals that are received and displayed on In-Command. In motion sensing mode, TPASS®5 will strobe two green LEDs in opposing corners, alternating to the opposite corners when motion is sensed.PRE-ALERT MODE: After approximately 18 to 23 seconds of no motion, TPASS®5 begins an audible Pre-Alert sound and an alternating green and yellow LED wig-wag display. The Pre-Alert sound progressively becomes louder, indicating TPASS®5 is closer to going into Alarm.ALARM MODE: There are two methods of activating the Alarm Mode. 1) MOTION-ALARM: After 30 to 35 seconds of no mo-tion, TPASS®5 enters the Alarm Mode as indicated by a rapid pulsing of four red LEDs while sounding a rapidly modulated, loud audio alarm. During Alarm, an emergen-cy radio signal is transmitted to In-Command alerting oth-er personnel of a ﬁ reﬁ ghter in distress.2) PANIC ALARM: Panic Alarm can be activated at any time (from Sensing Mode or Off Mode) by pressing the Emergency Alarm Button.LimitationsTo reduce risk of serious injury or loss of life, ensure TPASS®5 is fully operational by testing and inspecting the unit prior to use. Use of a TPASS®5 maintenance and training program including replacement of exhausted or low batteries is required for safe and proper use. If proper operation of TPASS®5 is questionable, remove unit from service and contact Grace Industries for assistance. Temperature SensingTPASS®5 is equipped with internal temperature sensing to alert the user of internal temperature rise inside the TPASS®5, and to warn of potential heat-stress for the user. The Heat Alarm function has a three stage alert feature to provide the user with a relative indication of internal TPASS®5 tempera-ture rise. Stage 1 Heat Alert: When the internal TPASS®5 temperature reaches 120°F, the top red LED (above the ﬂ ame icon) begins to ﬂ ash brieﬂ y. Stage 2 Heat Alert: Begins when the internal TPASS®5 tem-perature reaches 130°F. The ﬂ ame icon LED will ﬂ ash bright-er and longer, accompanied by loud 2-tone audio alerts once every 1 minute. Stage 3 Heat Alert: When the internal TPASS®5 tempera-ture exceeds 140°F, the heat alert becomes an Alarm. The ﬂ ame icon LED stays ON and is accompanied by loud 2-tone audio alerts once ever 10 seconds. Stage 3 Heat Alarm in-formation is transmitted to In-Command and is also recorded in the TPASS®5 internal data-log. The audible alarm sound of Stage 3 Heat Alarm can be temporarily muted for up to 1 minute by simultaneously pressing both side buttons. As TPASS®5 cools, the Heat Alert Stage will decrease when the internal temperature drops below the respective tempera-ture levels. The ﬂ ame icon LED will stop ﬂ ashing when the internal temperature falls below 110°F. NOTE: The ﬂ ame icon LED ﬂ ashes proportionally to the TPASS®5 internal temperature between 120° and 140°F.WARNING! The TPASS®5 internal temperature sensing is NOT intended to determine a “temperature safe” ﬁ reﬁ ght-er environment, and should NOT be relied on to warn the user of excess environmental temperature or possible ﬂ ash-over conditions. Battery Installation and ReplacementTo change batteries, remove the four screws securing the back cover. Remove and dispose of the exhausted batteries and insert new batteries. Observe polarity for proper (+) and (-) placement. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with national or local regulations.Always use approved AA (LR6) 1.5 volt alkaline batteries. Batteries may be any of the following brands but DO NOT MIX battery brands and/or part numbers: Approved Alkaline Batteries: Rayovac, Rayovac-Fusion, Energizer E91, Energizer-Industrial EN91, Duracell MN1500, Duracell-Procell PC1500. Important: To preserve the internal real-time-clock date & time setting, batteries must be replaced within 30 min-utes of removing the exhausted batteries.Before replacing the back cover, inspect and remove any dust or dirt on the mating edges of the back cover and case. Carefully replace back cover and gently tighten all four screws using a crisscross pattern for even gasket pres-sure, ensuring a good seal. DO NOT over tighten screws.Replacing the batteries every 3 to 4 months is recommended unless indicated earlier by the Low Battery Alarm. Low Battery Alarm will sound when the batteries have been exhausted to 20% of capacity (indicating approximately 1 hour of Alarm operating time remains). Immediate replace-Reset the Alarm Mode and return TPASS®5 to Sensing Mode by simultaneously pressing both side buttons. TURN OFF: To turn TPASS®5 OFF, replace Accountability Key and press both side buttons simultaneously.TPASS®5 SPECIAL FEATURESEVACUATE: The TPASS®5 evacuate function is activated from In-Command. When the Evacuate Command signal is received by a TPASS®5, the top red EVAC LED and all four front yellow LEDs will ﬂ ash rapidly, accompanied by a loud, unique audio alarm tone easily distinguished from other TPASS®5 audio tones. After the Evacuate Command signal is received by the TPASS®5, it automatically transmits a receive acknowledg-ment to In-Command, indicating TPASS®5 has received the Evacuate signal from In-Command. TPASS®5 user manually acknowledges receipt of the Evacu-ate Command by simultaneously pressing both side buttons which causes the TPASS®5 to transmit a manual-acknowl-edgment signal to In-Command, providing veriﬁ cation that the user has received the Evacuate Command. Manual acknowl-edgment of the Evacuate Command also places the TPASS®5 back into Sensing Mode.PAR CHECK: TPASS®5 and In-Command system provides for an automated Personnel-Accountability-Report without the need to use voice radios. The In-Command PC software is conﬁ gurable to allow an incident commander to periodical-ly signal each user wearing TPASS®5 and solicit a response indicating their presence. When TPASS®5 receives the PAR check signal from In-Command, it will automatically reply by transmitting a receive-acknowledgment, the top green P/R LED will strobe, two front yellow LEDs (upper right and lower left) will ﬂ ash rapidly, and begin sounding a unique audible alert. The audible PAR alert remains until the user press-es both side buttons, which silences the audible alarm and transmits the PAR manual-acknowledgment signal to In-Com-mand. See the In-Command user’s manual for a more de-tailed description of auto and manual PAR checks.ROLL-CALL: TPASS®5 and In-Command system provides for an automated Roll-Call-Report without the need to use voice radios. The In-Command PC software is conﬁ gurable to allow an incident commander to signal each user with TPASS®5 and solicit a response indicating their presence and well-being during a Roll-Call. When TPASS®5 receives the Roll-Call signal from In-Command, it will automatically reply by transmitting a receive-acknowledgment, the top red P/R LED will strobe, all four front red and yellow LEDs will ﬂ ash rapidly and simultaneously (color may appear orange) and TPASS®5 will begin sounding a unique audible alert. The au-dible Roll-Call alert remains until the user presses both side buttons which silences the audible alarm and transmits the Roll-Call manual-acknowledgment signal to In-Command. See the In-Command user’s manual for a more detailed de-scription of Roll-Call.TPASS®5 Mounting and AttachmentTPASS®5 is equipped with a high-strength grip-clip designed for secure attachment to a ﬁ reﬁ ghter’s turnout-gear such as to an SCBA vertical strap on the upper left or right shoulder and in the horizontal position with the sound port facing out to the side, or on the right hip area. However, the ideal wearing position of TPASS5 is often best determined by the end user for ease of access and operation.Visual / Audio Mode DisplayOFF ● Accountability Key in place with no LED display.
