Abstract
A monitoring system for monitoring wearers of respiratory equipment and a mobile part and to a base station for use in such a system. To reduce the risks for wearers of respiratory equipment, system data are continuously transmitted to a base station by a mobile part which is attached to a compressed-air breathing apparatus and which has a radio transmitter. Alarm and warning signals are visually and/or audibly communicated both to the wearer of the respiratory equipment and to a monitoring person as a function of the system data.
Claims23
A monitoring system for monitoring a wearer of respiratory equipment, the monitoring system comprising:
- a mobile part connectible to a compressed-air breathing apparatus;
- at least one sensor allocated to the mobile part for acquiring status data;
- and
- a base station capable of communicating with the mobile part via a wireless connection;
- wherein the mobile part includes:
- a warning apparatus for generating at least one of visual and audible signals as a function of the acquired status data;
- a radio transmitting apparatus for transmitting the acquired status data to the base station;
- and
- a central control unit for transmitting a message for logging the mobile part on or off at the base station;
- and wherein the base station includes:
- a radio receiving apparatus for receiving the status data transmitted from the mobile part;
- and
- a second warning apparatus which generates visual and/or audible signals as a function of the received status data.
A mobile monitoring device for attachment to a compressed-air breathing apparatus of a monitoring system, the monitoring system for monitoring a wearer of respiratory equipment, the monitoring system including a base station, the mobile monitoring device comprising:
- a central control apparatus connectible to at least one sensor for acquiring status data;
- a warning apparatus for generating at least one of visual and audible signals as a function of the acquired status data;
- a radio transmitting apparatus for the wireless transmission of the acquired status data to the base station;
- wherein the central control unit is capable of transmitting a message for logging the mobile part on or off at the base station.
A base station for use in a monitoring system, the monitoring system for monitoring a wearer of respiratory equipment, the monitoring system including a mobile monitoring device attached to a compressed-air breathing apparatus, the mobile monitoring device including a central control apparatus connectible to at least one sensor for acquiring status data and capable of transmitting a message for logging the mobile part on or off at the base station, a warning apparatus for generating at least one of visual and audible signals as a function of the acquired status data, and a radio transmitting apparatus for the wireless transmission of the acquired status data to a base station, the base station comprising:
- a radio receiving apparatus for receiving the status data transmitted from the mobile part;
- a second warning apparatus for generating visual and/or audible signals as a function of the received status data;
- and
- a display device for displaying the status data of the mobile part.
