READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
TPASS®5 Intended Use
TPASS®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.

● 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 capability
Operating Instructions
ACTIVATING 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.
Limitations
To 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 Sensing
TPASS®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 Replacement
To 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 FEATURES
EVACUATE: 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 Attachment
TPASS®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.
