ISI was a leading designer and manufacturer of quality respiratory protection equipment and thermal imaging systems. Their technologically advanced, easy-to-use respirators and other devices save critical time for law enforcement, firefighting and industrial users.

ISI was founded in 1980 in response to firefighters' demands for better respiratory protection. Since then, ISI has distinguished itself by working closely with firefighters, law enforcement and industrial users to create respiratory protection equipment to meet their changing needs.

ISI was purchased by AVON Protection Systems, the WORLDs largest manufacturer of Respiratory Protection Equipment and it is now know as AVON PROTECTION.

Their products are backed by first-class training, service and repair -- all provided by some of the industry's most knowledgeable experts, from engineering to production to customer relations.

THE AVON VIKING 7 SEVEN HAS TWO UNIQUE LIFE SAVING

FEATURES NOT FOUND ON OTHER SCBA

AVAILABLE WITH TEAMS

The TEAMS (Telemetry Electronic Air Management System) is a monitoring system of important information and communication

between the user of the Viking Z Seven SCBA and the command center.  The StatCheck device attached to the SCBA monitors SCBA battery status, cylinder pressure, real time temperatures, and the user Personal Identification Number (PIN) entry device. Using the transmitter assembly, mounted on the backframe, this information is sent back to the command center that displays this information on a laptop computer.  Fire Fighters can enter a PIN into the StatCheck and the command center will display the names of the users of the SCBA.  Fire Departments can also assign the SCBA to a jump seat location and the command center laptop will display the engine company and jump seats location.

ALSO AVAILABLE WITH ECHOTRACER™
 

The NEW EchoSeries™ from ISI helps locate downed Fire Fighters with a hand held Scanner or attached to a model 3500 thermal Imaging camera.

nVISION XT & XTP
 

After a ten foot drop, the NEW nVISION XT and XTP thermal imaging cameras from AVON acted like nothing happened. They are the only TICs to have passed a ten foot drop test – not just surviving six consecutive 10’ drops, but also remaining fully operational without a restart.

These palm-sized TICs are so efficient that a single battery

provides full-function operation for over four hours.

eliminating the need for battery change on the fire scene.

The state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology of the XT and XTP

consistently produces clearer images than competitive products,

especially in very high temperature ranges.

nVISION TIC on it’s optional extension

pole with remote display.

The RIT/RIC rescue system from AVON offers Rapid Intervention Teams greater flexibility in providing emergency air to trapped or downed Fire Fighters. 

The RIC system uses the NFPA mandated quick connect that will dump up to 50% of the rescue air into the victims cylinder.

The RIT system attaches to the low pressure side of any AVON SCBA through the Buddy Breather, Face Mask connection or Remote Airline Connection.  Using the low pressure side is safer and the RIT system has an end of service alarm to warn when it is time to change cylinders.

A Combo unit comprised of both the RIC and RIT systems is available.

L2 Rit Bag

Light, fast and incredibly tough. The L2 has a unique  Heat-Shield™ composite  bottom plate which allows  the bag to glide over the roughest surfaces and still take the heat. Optional zippered Rope bag available.

The T1’s ruggedness combined with features such as the separated hose pockets, and rigid plastic shield to protect the valve set and face piece, have garnered critical praise from fire departments and RIT trainers alike.

When working in an IDLH atmosphere (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) where it may be difficult to get into a confined space with an SCBA or where you need to be on continuous supplied air – you must use a Supplied Air Respirator with escape (ARAP-E). If the supplied air fails you can use the escape bottle to provide air while you get to a safe place.  If you are in a NON-IDLH environment then you can use an ARAP-C respirator.  This has no emergency escape air as type C respirators are only approved for NON-IDLH atmospheres where while the air may be unpleasant - it is not harmful.

It is important to ensure that the air that you are providing to your Airline Respirators is clean and safe. The safest method is to use bottled air.  Some of the systems that can provide that are shown below.
