M1 Entry Control Board

About M1 Entry Control Board

The Safetyio Entry Control Board (ECB) App is part of MSA's respiratory protection monitoring system. The ECB App offers a complete overview on the air and alarm status of telemetry enabled breathing apparatus at a glance. The unique combination of traditional entry control monitoring elements and up-to date technologies increases confidence that Incident Commend is informed and introduces a new level of documentation.

The App gives importance on the presentation of situation-relevant information to allow users to have the best possible understanding of the particular situation.
The officer in charge has an exact overview of the air supply situation of all deployed wearers - based on the information from the connected MSA HUB and realted breathing apparatus.

Reliable & versatile monitoring
The unique way of presenting the data during each kind of incident allows a new level of transparency for incident command as well as for the officer in charge. The application continuously assesses the information which is available and presents the respective critical value in real time to increase situation awareness to allow reliable fast decisions.

In a network, the app unleashes it's full capabilities and allows combination of multiple entry control points to a unique incident structure that offers full transparancy of mission critical information.

- Clear view on current pressure and alarm state per wearer
- Pressure value is estimated if user is out of radio network range and updated once back in combination with elapsed time since signal was lost
- Automatic mesh network functionality, to drive monitoring within existing infrastructures

Incident Commander can individually select displayed critical information for all connected firefighters to review their stats such as time to whistle (TTW), time of whistle (TOW) and elapsed time.

To unleash the full potential of the App, additional equipment such as the MSA HUB and telemetry enabled breathing apparatus in combination with the entry control board frame are necessary.
