device shall indicate either low cylinder pressure (33% +5 %, -0 %) or primary first stage regulator failure. The HUD shall serve as the secondary EOSTI indicator. The HUD shall be powered by the SCBA's single power supply. It shall be mounted in the user's field of vision on the Facepiece- Mounted Positive Pressure Regulator. It shall display cylinder pressure in increments of 100 %, 75 %, 50% and 33 %. The display shall not have a numerical representation of bottle pressure. At full bottle pressure, two green Light Emitting Diodes (LED) shall be illuminated. At three - quarter bottle pressure, one green LED shall be illuminated. At one -half bottle pressure, one "yellow" LED shall be illuminated and flash at a rate not to exceed one (lx) time per second. At one -third bottle pressure, one "red" LED shall be illuminated and flash at a rate not to exceed ten (10x) times per second. The HUD shall have a low battery indication that is distinct and distinguishable from the bottle pressure indications. CONFIRM EXCEPTION 5) Harness and Backframe Assembly A lightweight, lumbar support style backframe and harness assembly shall be used to carry the cylinder and valve assembly and the pressure reducing regulator assembly. The backframe shall be a solid, one -piece black powder- coated aluminum frame that is contoured to follow the shape of the user's back. The backframe shall include a mounting for the pressure reducer. The backframe shall include an over - the - center, adjustable tri -slide fixture, a para - aramid strap and a double - locking latch assembly to secure 30, 45, 60, or 75 minute cylinders. The harness assembly shall consist of a one size black para - aramid strap with a yellow stripe. This harness shall include box - stitched construction with no screws or bolts. The harness assembly shall incorporate parachute -type, quick - release buckles and shall include shoulder and hip pads. The harness shall include a seat -belt type waist attachment. The shoulder strap shall be fitted with a Drag Rescue Loop (DRL) capable of being deployed in an emergency situation to drag a downed firefighter to safety. The shoulder strap shall be attached to the backplate by way of a single, articulating metal bracket. The one -piece aluminum backframe should include integrated donning /carry handles. The handles shall allow the user to easily don the SCBA in the "over- head" style and also allow the user to carry the SCBA. The backframe shall include accommodation and mounting spaces suitable for installation of a distress alarm integrated with the SCBA. These mounting spaces shall permit installation of an alarm sensor module in an area between the cylinder hanger locking mechanism and the backframe. CONFIRM EXCEPTION 6) Remote Gauge The Remote Gauge shall be in the console on the user's right shoulder strap. The console shall contain an integral edge lit mechanical pressure gauge that is automatically turned on by opening the cylinder valve. The indicating pressure gauge shall be of a sweep gauge style with notations indicating approximate cylinder air pressure. The console shall display to the user the following: 4
