Innovative Technology changes the way training is done

When the trainee squeezes the handle of the "smart" training extinguisher, a directional ultrasonic signal is emitted from the tip of the training extinguisher's nozzle. This signal is picked up by the four sensors on the front of the I.T.S. base unit. The on-board microprocessor control system determines exactly where the user is aiming and sweeping. Variable electronic valves constantly adjust the amount of propane sent to the burners to simulate the fire's response to the extinguisher.

• If the trainee aims at the base of the fire, and sweeps the training extinguisher properly, the flames gradually go out.
• If the trainee does not sweep properly the flames will continue to grow.
• If the trainee does not sweep all the way across the base of the fire, the flames will not go out. Only the areas of the fire that were hit with the training extinguisher will be extinguished.
