Dräger Bodyguard® 1500

Wireless Electronic Alarm and PASS Monitoring System

The Dräger Bodyguard® 1500 is an advanced, automatic wireless monitoring system designed to significantly enhance safety during firefighting, industrial rescue, and hazardous facility maintenance operations. Operating as a personal alert safety system (PASS), this lightweight system protects workers by triggering clear acoustic and visual distress signals the moment a user becomes motionless or trapped, while wirelessly transmitting critical pressure data from the breathing cylinder.

Key Technical Features

• Wireless Pressure Transmission: Paired with the Dräger Tx Gauge to receive and display real-time cylinder pressure data without bulky physical cables.

• Automatic PASS Activation: Features an integrated, motion-activated sensor that initiates an escalating alarm sequence if the user remains still for more than 25 seconds.

• Visual Buddy Lights: Equipped with brilliant, dual-sided blue LED indicators that maximize line-of-sight tracking in heavy smoke or dark environments.

• Robust Wireless Data Pairing: Utilizes secure, low-power radio frequencies to sync with the cylinder transmitter, eliminating cross-talk interference from other active teams on-site.

Industrial Benefits and Applications

• Structural Firefighting: Delivers essential life-safety tracking, allowing rapid intervention crews (RIC) to quickly locate down or unconscious firefighters via intense sound and light cues.

• Confined Space Entry (CSE): Provides hands-free protection inside narrow industrial silos, storage tanks, and utility shafts where physical movements are limited.

• Hazmat Emergency Response: Minimizes clutter and snagging hazards inside chemical protective suits by replacing traditional wired pressure lines with a streamlined, wireless setup.
