In the sudden event of a flashover or collapse situation, Grace Industries' GEM System^™ will immediately identify, by name, any firefighter(s) in distress!! It's the firefighters' LINK TO SAFETY!

Firefighters everywhere want the security of knowing that help will be there if they need it. Using revolutionary spread spectrum radio telemetry, combined with Grace Industries' space age solid state accelerometer, each high powered T PASS II^™ transmitter will immediately relay the distress signal back to the command post indicating that an alarm condition exists. GEM System's^™ LCD Command Receiver employs visual and audible warnings that a firefighter's T PASS II^™ alarm has been activated.

During alarm conditions the name(s) of the firefighter(s) in distress are prominently displayed on the LCD Display Screen. The distress signal can be manually activated using the alarm button, or automatically activated if the firefighter is injured and ceases movement.

Additionally, command officers, at the push of a button, will know immediately the names of all personnel who are on the scene and whether or not their T PASS II^™ device is activated.
