PSD "Silent Pak" pump allows for a 1,500-gpm NFPA-rated pump without a pump transmission. After working closely with Chelsea and Allison, Darley received approval for a 1,500-gpm rating from Chelsea when using its Model 870XAFJP-B5XV series PTO with a 200 percent ratio and an Allison EVS 3000 Series transmission. The engine speed needed is only 2,049 rpm, so it can be matched with most engines on the market capable of producing at least 225 net horsepower. The Allison transmission must be ordered with the 1:00 PTO provision, but the pump can run off the 8:00 or 1:00 position. The pump weighs 225 pounds and, without the transmission to generate noise, is quiet.

FPS-COM-PLUS fully integrated communication system is specifically designed for the Dräger FPS 7000 full face mask. Developed for use by firefighters and first responders, the new communication unit provides clear voice transmission, even under extreme emergency conditions. The integrated microphone of the FPS-COM-PLUS picks up the wearer's voice inside the mask. Noise reduction technology filters out all other sounds and transmits only the user's voice by amplifier or radio. Pure breathing sounds are not transmitted. The voice amplifier system, with twin speakers on left and right of the mask, ensures a perfectly balanced system with a surround sound output that enhances the clarity of messages received. The FPS-COM-PLUS communication unit is quick and easy to operate, even with thick gloves. Improving safety and reliability, an on/off switch is operated only by applying deliberate pressure to the switch. Equipped with a protective rim on one side, it prevents accidental switching off of the communication unit during use.
