Abstract
A fire-fighting system includes a base component, a nozzle located remote from the base component, and a locator component mounted to the nozzle. The locator component is communicatively coupleable to the base component, and includes a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive signals from the base component, and a locator beacon including a visually-perceptible output device. The locator component is configured to activate the locator beacon in response to an activation signal received from the base component.
Claims21
A fire-fighting system comprising:
- a base component;
- a nozzle located remote from said base component;
- and
- a locator component mounted to said nozzle and communicatively coupleable to said base component, said locator component comprising a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive signals from said base component, and a locator beacon comprising a visually-perceptible output device, wherein said locator component is configured to activate said locator beacon in response to an activation signal received from said base component.
A nozzle system for use in a fire-fighting environment, said nozzle system comprising:
- a nozzle adapted for manual control by a firefighter positioned adjacent said nozzle;
- and
- a locator component positioned proximate said nozzle, said locator component communicatively coupleable to a base component positioned remote from said nozzle and associated with said nozzle, said locator component comprising a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive signals from said base component, and a locator beacon comprising a visually-perceptible output device, wherein said locator component is configured to activate said locator beacon in response to a signal received from the base component.
A method of controlling a nozzle system in a fire-fighting environment, said method comprising:
- communicatively coupling a base component to a locator component positioned proximate a nozzle, wherein the locator component includes a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive signals from the base component, and a locator beacon including a visually-perceptible output device;
- receiving an activation signal at the locator component from the base component;
- and
- activating the locator beacon in response to receiving the activation signal.
