Rescom Elite®: The Communication System for High-Risk Confined Space Entries
Confined spaces present some of the most challenging and hazardous working environments in any industry. Poor air quality, high temperatures, and limited entry and exit points are some of the dangers that can easily lead to accidents, injuries, or even death.
As a rescue or confined space worker, your team’s success depends on communication. Ensuring clear, continuous and effective communication during emergency operations is critical. Unfortunately, communication systems can be bulky, time-consuming, and complicated to set up, which can add precious minutes to a rescue operation.
To ensure the safety of workers, rescuers, and supervisors undertaking confined space entries, there is a need for a reliable communication system that can facilitate real-time communication and provide a link to the outside world.
That’s where the Rescom Elite® comes in. Rescom Elite® is a top-of-the-line communication system designed specifically for confined space entries. This intrinsically safe system is built to simplify line management and provide a safe yet efficient means of communication between the entrants/rescuers, and supervisors up to a total of 10 users.
The Rescom Elite® Communication System includes a 10,000 lb. tensile strength NFPA-rated Combined Safety/Communication Rope™, that fundamentally differentiates our system from others in the market. Simplified line management is a result of creating a rope with the wiring incorporated reducing the chance of entanglement. Testing proves that communication is possible up to rope failure, making it ideal for Search and Rescue (SAR), Rope Access Technicians or Fire Fighters. With SED’s Combined Safety/Communication Rope™ or Communication Cables, you can enjoy clear, effective and continuous communication for up to 4.8 km (3 miles) per Headset. The connectors and ropes can be submerged in water up to 10m (35’). Continuous team contact with the Combined Safety/Communication Rope™ offers psychological support for individuals working in the isolation of confined.
The DuraCORE™ Cable features a SEDFLEX™ jacket, and the SED proprietary anchoring system for the connectors makes it one of the most rugged communication cables in the industry. This cable is durable enough to withstand harsh environments, making it an ideal choice for rescuers in extreme conditions. And for those in the mining industry, SED offers MSHA-approved Communication Cables to ensure reliable communication in challenging underground environments.
Typically, a supervisor will carry the DMI headset and amplifier (the “Primary”), while the entrants/rescuers use the secondary DSI’s with task appropriate headsets. The Junction Box is connected in between. One of the unique features of Rescom Elite® is the ability to use both the DuraCORE™ Communication Cable and the Combined Safety/Communication Rope™ together. The connection from the supervisor to the
junction box can be made with a cable which is more easily decontaminated than rope. Safeguard the Combined Safety/Communication Rope by utilizing cable for dirty applications.
In addition to this, The Rescom Elite® system comprises of several components, including headsets, belt-mounted interfaces, junction boxes, equipment cases, and ropes or cables, which can be customized depending on User needs or the kit purchased. The headsets are designed to provide clear and reliable two-way communication in noisy and harsh environments. The belt-mounted interfaces enable hands-free communication and allow easy access to the personalized volume control.
Overall, the Rescom Elite® Communication System is a game-changer for emergency responders. With its innovative design and durable materials, you can depend on clear, continuous and effective communication when you need it most.
So, whether you’re working in the oil and gas, mining, or construction industry or you are a firefighter, SAR personnel, or a rescuer in extreme conditions, the Rescom Elite® Communication System is the perfect choice to keep you connected and safe during every mission. It is the ultimate solution for confined communication and safety.
The Rescom® continues to set the standard for confined space communication and safety.
