LIFE DETECTOR TYPE II
Category: Collapsed Structure Search & Rescue (CSSR) Equipment
Color: Red,
Size: ,
1. The human Life Detection System will be used by Rescue Workers to determine, without
risking lives by entering; whether anyone is trapped inside a burning or collapsed building. It
should help to locate trapped or marooned victims in a disaster area, Reducing both search times
and danger to rescuers and to find lost or injured people faster in hostile terrain, bad weather,
collapsed trenches, even underwater. The system should have the discrimination capability for
detecting only living human beings and not decease humans or living animals. The principle of
working is based on the equipment's capability of detecting living human beings by detecting the
distinctive electro-magnetic field created by their heartbeat. This is achieved by use of the special
hand held equipment.
Required Capabilities and specifications
2. The instrument should be in full compliance with following specifications:-
1. It should be capable of passively detecting the presence of living humans behind thick
barriers such as concrete walls, steel gates, trees, and 500 meters in the open airIt should be
capable of passively detecting the non-uniform electric fields of living humans. It should not
detect animal life.
2. Field of view:
Horizontal plane: at least -2 to + 2 degrees
Vertically plane:
• At least - 60 to + 60 degrees in open air.
• At least - 40 to + 40 degrees in composite structure .
• - 20 to + 20 degrees on and all-metal grounded platform.
• Detection range: It will come with two range adjustment devices (RADs) as follows:
- All metal RAD up to 500 meters
- Composite RAD up to 20 meters
* Target tracking - in detection mode, once the Life detector has fixed on target, even if it is
moving, the life detector will continue tracking the target.
D) It will have a built - in Red laser (used to show direction in dark areas) and will be eye
safe, the laser Environmental parameters for optimum performance will be:-
1. Operating temperature: -10 to + 45 degrees Celsius
2. Storage temperature : -40 to + 85 degrees Celsius
* Instrument will be water resistant.
(E) Power: (Internal)- rechargeable 8.4 V DC battery for the laser.
Operating time: 3 hours in continuous operation.
Charging time : 14 to 16 hours-charge should be provided
* Weight: < 1kg
* Hard carrying case or bag for accommodating the instrument will be provided.
(F) Instrument environmental parameters for optimum performance.
1. Operating temperature : - 40 to +85 degrees Celsius.
2. Storage temperature : - 40 to +85 degrees Celsius.
(G) The supplier will provide full training on the set to the user for a minimum of three days.
This training will include on day in house classroom training on theoretical aspects including
troubleshooting and maintenance and tow days of field training and techniques to ease
detection
