EQUIPMENT SELECTION GUIDE
Fire Rescue and General Use

General Use equipment for fire rescue, FEMA, USAR, and other heavy rescue operations should be durable as well as strong. Weight is seldom a factor and teams tend to prefer the larger diameter ropes and General-Use hardware.
Rescue Rope
The most popular ropes for rescue are the all nylon, 1/2-inch. kernmantle ropes, such as CMC Rescue Lifeline. They combine durability, ruggedness, good handling for tying knots and rigging systems, and good control when working with descenders. Very low stretch rope, such as CMC Rescue Static-Pro, are increasing in popularity as the minimum stretch provides increased efficiency during rappels and when used for hauling systems.
Wilderness Rescue and Light Use

Gear for the wilderness rescuer or the member of a high angle rescue team needs to be light and efficient while still remaining durable. Reliability is critical as replacement gear may be hours away on the truck. With a higher level of training in rope rescue skills and risk management, the Light-Use equipment can provide adequate safety margins.
Harnesses
The versatility of the ProTech FireRescue Harness makes it a good choice for a fire service full-body harness. It combines comfort for rappels and online rescues, plus meets the requirements for fall protection. CMCs ProSeries Rescue Harness has been the first choice of rescuers for many years and provides the ultimate in comfort. Full-body harnesses are becoming more popular and CMCs designs include an ANSI Z359 fall arrest attachment point. The CMC ProSeries Confined Space Rescue Harness has the widest selection of attachment points.
Harnesses
The CMC Rescue Harness is a lightly padded harness for the rescuer who wants to balance comfort with reduced bulk. Adding the leg loops to the ProSeries Uniform Rappel Belt provides a compact harness. For training or longer duration rescues, the CMC ProSeries Rescue Harness continues to be popular for its comfort and performance.
Carabiners
Omega Pacific and CMC Rescue Steel Carabiners have been the mainstay of heavy rescue rigging. For departments that prefer an auto-locking carabiner, CMC Rescue Large Steel Auto-Locking Carabiner has a 3-stage locking gate that can be opened with one hand. If weight is an issue, CMCs new ProSeries Carabiners offer NFPA General Use strength in two sizes of aluminum carabiners.
Helmets
The Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet is lightweight, comfortable, and provides the protection needed in a highangle environment, but is gaining popularity in the industrial arena as well. It has clips for securely retaining goggles or a headlamp. The unique vent system opens or closes as needed.
Descenders
The rack has become the lowering device of choice for rescue systems and the CMC Rescue Rack is certified to the General Use requirements of NFPA 1983. Figure 8s are still popular for rappels and the CMC Rescue 8 works well for lowering systems using 11 or 12.5 mm ropes.
Helmets
The Bullard Advent A2 is a popular adjustable helmet for fire rescue and industrial rescue teams. Bullards versatile USRX Search & Rescue Helmet is compliant with NFPA 1951 and 1971.The Petzl Vertex Vent is popular with industrial and high angle teams due to its light weight and comfort.
Gear Bags
Efficient gear storage has led to the design of new packs and gear bags. The CMC Rescue SystemPac holds an Anchor Plate with a rescue system attached, ready to pull out and connect to the anchor. The CMC Rescue Truck Cache carries the hardware for two complete systems in one bag, that fits easily in a compartment on the fire engine or rescue truck. The CMC Rescue Quick Response Bag holds a lot of gear and the many pockets protect and organize it.
Radio Harnesses
The fast moving rescuer needs to be able to operate hands-free and the CMC Radio Harnesses keep the radio in a protected location that requires minimum use of the hands to operate. Added pockets allow organization and storage of spare batteries, GPS, compass, pens, and notebooks. A variety of models allows the user to select the harness that ideally meets their unique requirements.
Gloves
CMC Rescue Rappel Gloves have the extra protection needed for rappels without sacrificing the dexterity needed for rigging systems. When increased dexterity is needed, such as for tying knots or when rigging systems, consider the CMC Rescue Riggers Gloves.
Gloves
Gloves are a balance of hand protection and dexterity. The CMC Rescue Rappel Glove provides excellent hand protection whether on rappel, rigging systems, or thrashing through brush. The CMC Rescue Riggers Glove provides even more dexterity while still maintaining a high level of hand protection.
Stretchers
Basket stretchers provide excellent patient comfort and protection for high and low-angle evacuations and the CMC ProSeries models represent the most current design. The Traverse Advantage has the strength of the all steel stretchers with the added protection of a plastic shell. As a light-duty, disaster stretcher, the ProTech Rescue Stretcher provides surprising performance at an affordable price.
Headlamps
The Princeton Tec Yukon HL has the ruggedness of an all LED light with the brightness of most incandescent lights and carries UL certification for hazardous atmospheres. The super bright Princeton Tec EOS is compact and lightweight, and an excellent, cost-effective choice for all around rescue applications.
Headlamps
Helmet-mounted headlamps still seem to be the favorite for wilderness rescuers, probably since most of us use them for our other wilderness activities as well. The headlamps from Princeton Tec provide LED durability with high performance. The compact top of the line Apex has a powerful LED for a spot with a separate array for flood lighting. The EOS combines lightweight with a penetrating spot with adjustable brightness.

EQUIPMENT SELECTION GUIDE
Wilderness Rescue and Light Use

Rescue Rope
Mountain and technical rescue teams often choose 7/16inch rope for its lighter weight when all the equipment must be carried some distance, usually up. CMC Rescue Lifeline provides all-around durability and performance. The excellent handling New England KM III with its polyester sheath or the all-polyester CMC Rescue Static-Pro are often preferred by rescuers working in wet conditions or near chemicals harmful to nylon.
Recommended Ropes for Specific Applications

Rescue Lifeline
By far the predominate rope in rescue operations is 1/2inch, static kernmantle rope. The core (kern) and sheath (mantle) construction provides excellent handling and durability. Rescue units that need to transport their rope long distances often select a smaller diameter, such as 7/16-inch. While the all nylon construction has been the standard for years, the lower stretch all-polyester ropes are gaining popularity.
Climbing Rope
When climbing above your belayer or if you anticipate a fall factor greater than .25, you need a dynamic rope such as those used by rock climbers. These ropes of nylon fiber and kernmantle construction are designed for excellent handling and maximum energy absorption.
Water Rescue Throwline

Throwlines are designed to float so they are easier to see and reach. The new NFPA 1983 standard for water rescue throwlines states they should be between 7 mm and 9.5 mm and have a minimum strength of 13kN (2923 lbf.) Polypropylene is the most common fiber for floating ropes and the higher strength models add high tenacity polypropylene fibers such as Spectra.
Carabiners
Aluminum carabiners, such as CMC ProTech Locking D Carabiners and CMC Rescue Aluminum Locking D Carabiners meet the requirements for high strength and minimum weight. The new CMC ProSeries Carabiners have General-Use strength with only a slight increase in weight.
Rope Access Work

Most rope access work such as window washing, building and dam inspection, and other work on rappel uses 7/16-inch kernmantle ropes. This size works well with a variety of hardware on the market, particularly the more sophisticated descenders such as the Petzl ID.
Descenders
Some mountain rescue teams are converting to racks and some are staying with the Figure 8 descenders. The aluminum CMC Rescue 8 is a large rescue descender with a proprietary, long wearing finish. The compact CMC Rappel 8 is a good choice for a personal descender that works well on rope sizes up to 7/16 inch.
Escape Line
Since Escape Lines spend most of their time being carried, they should be light in weight and compact enough to stay out of the way when working a fire. All certified escape lines provide sufficient strength for the bailout rappel. The difference is their resistance to the heat of the fire ground environment. While the nylon and polyester fiber ropes meet the NFPA requirement for heat resistance, some ropes add aramid fibers to provide an added level of resistance.
Prusik Cord
A Prusik Cord is a climbing accessory cord used to tie a Prusik Hitch around the rescue rope. A good Prusik Cord has just the right stiffness to reliably grab the rescue rope with the cord. A cord that is too stiff will not grab automatically when needed. Soft cords grab too easily, making them hard to manage, and tend to wear out quickly.
Portable High Directionals

A high directional provides better clearance over cliff edges. The versatility of the AZ Vortex Multipod makes it the favorite of many rescue units. The Multipod has a wide range of adjustment with leg angle and length and can be set up as a tripod, A-Frame, or gin pole.
Ladder Halyard
A halyard for a fire service ladder must be easy to grip with gloves and, because ladders are stored on the exterior of the trucks, excellent resistance to sun and rain is necessary. Single or double braid ropes work well in pulleys and can be spliced for clean end terminations. CMC Rescue Ladderline is a doublebraid construction using polyester fiber for resistance to sun and moisture.
Stretchers
Weighing only 17 lbs., the ProSeries Titanium SplitApart Stretcher combines ultralight weight with high strength when transport is by foot. The compact storage size makes the SKED Stretcher easy to store and transport for wilderness teams or ski patrols. The Traverse Rescue Stretcher is ideal for a lightweight stretcher.
RIT Line
In many areas it has become a standard practice to deploy a small cord behind the firefighter when entering an area where low visibility and the floor plan increases the chance of becoming lost. Called RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) Lines or Guide Lines, these ropes let the RIT team retrace your path and find you. Aramid fibers are the preference for their resistance to flame and high temperatures.

ROPE & ACCESSORIES | user guide
Impact Forces, Elongation, and Life Safety Rope

The elongation of a life safety rope relates directly to the impact forces encountered when the rope stops a fall. The important question is how much elongation is right for any particular application. A few years ago it was a simple choice. Sport climbing ropes had too much stretch, and static kernmantle caving ropes had enough stretch to provide some energy absorption, but not enough to make them inefficient in systems. In 1998, the Cordage Institute published standard (CI-1801) that defined a static rope as having 1% to 6% elongation at 10% of the ropes minimum breaking strength. A low-stretch rope would have 6% to 10% elongation at the ropes minimum breaking strength. NFPA Standard 1983 on Life Safety Rope sets the standard for elongation between 1% and 10% at a load equal to 10% of the ropes minimum breaking strength. Elongation is really just another way of describing how much a rope will stretch when it is loaded suddenly. This stretching, or elongation, reduces the impact force. The greater the elongation, the less force felt by the system. A good example would be a bungee jumper taking a tremendous fall (jump) and stopping very comfortably. The critical factor, of course, is having plenty of distance in which to stop. starts down, the rope stretches as the load increases. This means there is more rope between the anchor and the rescuer, causing an uncontrolled downward movement and introducing a risk of the rescuer hitting a ledge or the ground. With high elongation rope in a raising system, the haul team has to pull the stretch out of the rope before moving the load, thus reducing the teams efficiency. For these operations, an ideal rope would have very low elongation. It might seem that rope with high elongation would be appropriate as a belay line. After all, a belay line catching a fall is a dynamic event, and the impact forces throughout the system are greater than the static load. A high elongation rope would absorb energy and minimize the impact. But, as described above, this requires a safe distance in which to stop. Unfortunately, in rescue there are too many ledges, edges, and other hard things that could be more damaging to the rescuer and patient than having the rope stopping them quickly.
Determining How Much Elongation is Right for You
Here is how we suggest you decide how much elongation is right for you. First, determine a maximum acceptable impact force that a stretcher system should be able to tolerate without causing harm to the people or failure of the system. The value that has been Unfortunately, in a rappel or stretcher system, rope with high elonsuggested by many, and is being considered for several standards, gation is a problem. When a person on rappel or tending a stretcher is 15 kN. This number was proposed many years ago by the British Columbia Kernmantle Life Safety Rope Performance Comparison Council on Technical Rescue for their Belay Competence Drop Test standard.

Next, determine the desired stopping distance in your belay system. This requires looking at both elongation in the rope and the type of belay device being used. The BCCTR standard recommends a maximum stopping distance of 1 meter. When you have determined your requirements for impact force and stopping distance, test your belay system to see if it meets your needs. View the system as a whole, including rope, belay device, operator, and anticipated loads. Different belay systems can impart different impact forces on the system and should be tested as a unit.

for comparing one system to another. The best belay system will be one that arrests a fall in the shortest distance and stays below the maximum acceptable force on the systems components.

CMC Rescue Static-Pro Lifeline

UL Classified to NFPA 1983
Constructed of 100% high-tenacity polyester fiber, Static-Pro Lifeline is an extremely low stretch, kernmantle rescue lifeline that provides advantages when the need for super low elongation offsets the need for the rope to provide energy absorption in the system. With less than 1% stretch at 300 lbs., Static-Pro is an excellent choice for high lines, long rappels, and many mechanical advantage haul systems. Its low electrical conductivity has advantages when working on towers or charged electrical equipment. The polyester fiber ropes have better resistance to acids than nylon, making Static-Pro an advantage in acidic environments. The Static-Pro Lifelines come in solid colors with a single stripe to prevent confusion with CMC Rescue Lifeline and other solid color kernmantle ropes.
NFPA 1983 (2006) Life Safety Rope Performance Requirements

Light-Use Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3 MBS) of not less than 20 kN (4,496 lbf.) Minimum elongation of not less than 1% at 10% of the breaking strength Maximum elongation of not more than 10% at 10% of the breaking strength Minimum diameter of 9.5 mm (3/8-inch) Maximum diameter of 12.5 mm (1/2-inch) General-Use Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3 MBS) of not less than 40 kN (8,992 lbf) Minimum elongation of not less than 1% at 10% of the breaking strength Maximum elongation of not more than 10% at 10% of the breaking strength Minimum diameter of 11 mm (7/16-inch) Maximum diameter of 16 mm (5/8-inch) Note: the NFPA convention is to round off to the nearest .5 mm (1/64-inch). New for 2006 is the lower diameter allowed for General-Use life safety ropes. Today, the fiber technology does not exist to make a 7/16-inch General-Use life safety rope, but the committee wanted to keep the door open for such a light weight, high-strength rope. Also new for the 2006 edition is the requirement that the label provide the user with information on the elongation at specified working loads. This will greatly help the user determine which product best meets his requirements. Elongation at 1.35 kN (300 lbf.) Elongation at 2.7 kN (600 lbf.) Elongation at 4.4 kN (1,000 lbf.)

New England KM III Static Kernmantle Rescue Rope

A superior handling rescue rope, New England Ropes KM III static kernmantle rope features a composite construction of nylon and polyester fibers. KM III has a weight-balanced construction with the sheath and the core each representing 50% of the total weight. The rope is torque-balanced to eliminate any spin during a rappel. The continuous filament polyester sheath is braided over a continuous nylon fiber core. This provides excellent handling and knot-holding characteristics, as well as rugged protection from abrasion and cutting. The polyester sheath provides added protection for ultraviolet light and from chemicals that are harmful to nylon. The polyester sheath also reduces the strength loss and weight gain that occurs when nylon absorbs water.

CMC Rescue Ladderline

NFPA 1931 specifies a MBS of 825 lbs. for halyards Manufactured by New England Ropes
Halyard Clamp
Ladderline can be spliced to make a strong, neat connection to the anchor point on the ladder, but it can be an involved process. The brass Halyard Clamp is quick and easy to install, requiring only a mallet to fold the prongs over on the doubled rope. Our testing on 1/2 inch Ladderline indicates the clamp slips at 800 lbs. While not as strong as a knot or well made splice, it is sufficiently strong for most customers requirements. Fits 1/2 and 3/8 inch Ladderline.
Ladderline was designed as an optimal halyard for fire service extension ladders. The special spun polyester sheath provides smoother handling and an excellent grip, with or without gloves, wet or dry. Ladderline is constructed of 100% polyester fiber for minimum stretch and sag caused by changing environmental conditions. The polyester fiber will not rot or mildew, providing longer service life. With a double-braid construction, Ladderline can be spliced. CMC recommends using a Halyard Clamp for easy installation. Color: White with a red tracer.

CMC Rescue Prusik Cord and Load Release Hitch Cord

The most important attributes of a cord used for Prusik Hitches is consistency in handling and diameter. Once you have determined the Prusik Hitch that works best on your host rope, you want the same performance every time you replace it. CMC Rescue Prusik Cord has the right balance of suppleness for reliable activation, but is not so soft that it wears out rapidly. Made of nylon with a torque-free, kernmantle construction, it comes in solid colors to help discriminate between cords designed for Prusik Hitches and climbers accessory cords. Two color choices in the 7 mm and 8 mm diameters allow you to use a separate color for each length Prusik in a Tandem Prusik Belay System. The 9 mm diameter is the size preferred by rescuers that use a load releasing hitch. Available by the foot or spool.

New England Ropes Accessory Cords

Flexible and easily knotted, these special purpose nylon utility cords have a torque-free, high-strength, kernmantle construction. The smaller sizes make excellent boot laces and tag lines. The larger sizes can be used for tag lines, chock slings, or Prusik Hitches. Available by the foot or spool.
An Important Note On Prusiks

The performance parameters of Prusik Hitches used to belay rescue systems have received only limited investigation through reproducible testing. Several questions remain open such as the effects of wear, age, and other environmental influences. If you decide to rely on a Prusik Hitch based system, it is your responsibility to determine that the particular combination of Prusik Hitch material (Prusik or accessory cord) and the host rope will work reliably for your systems, level of training, and rescue conditions.

washing rescue rope

A washing machine works best, but avoid front-loading washers with plastic windows. Rope rubbing against the window can generate enough heat to melt nylon rope fibers. A rope washer should be used first to get rid of heavy deposits of dirt or mud. Run the empty washing machine through a rinse cycle with just enough cold water to remove any residue from previous uses. Chain the rope to prevent tangles and then place it in the washing machine. Turn the washer on cold and add Lifeline Cleaner. Agitate for only a few minutes then turn the washer off. Soak for 30 minutes, then resume the normal wash cycle. It is safe to use a mild bleach if the rope has become contaminated with biohazards. Use the amount that you would normally use to disinfect fabrics. Dry the rope by hanging it out of direct sunlight. Leaving it chained makes the rope easier to handle. When the rope is ready to go back into service, it should be inspected again and the washing should be noted in a rope log.

Whats a 3 MBS?
You would think that answering the question how strong is that carabiner? or other item of rescue equipment would be relatively easy. Even with metals like aluminum and steel, two identical carabiners will break at slightly different forces. Maybe only a hundred pounds different, but still different. Breaking the five samples called for by the NFPA test method will provide five different results. If the average breaking strength is reported, the odds that your carabiner is weaker than the average are pretty good. Even if the strength of the weakest carabiner is used as the rating, there is still the possibility that your carabiner could be weaker and there is no way to know how much weaker. The industry solution is to use a statistical formula, referred to as three sigma (3), that says that the minimum breaking strength calculation is 99.87% reliable. NFPA 1983 specifies a performance standard for rescue equipment. For example, a general-use carabiner must have a 3 sigma minimum breaking strength of at least 40 kN (8,992 lbf). The test method requires five samples and a 3 MBS is calculated. The 2006 edition of the standard allows the manufacturer to label the product with the MBS required by the standard or any higher number that is not more than the actual 3 MBS calculated from the test results of the five samples. CMC feels that the user is best served if we label hardware with the minimum MBS required by the standard, while providing the actual 3 MBS figures in our literature. During the transition between NFPA 1983, 2001 edition and the 2006 edition, there is not enough time for Underwriters Laboratories to test all of CMCs products before the publication of the catalog. Where we do not have the test results that provide the calculated MBS, we have left the MBS blank. If the product is marked as meeting the standard, then you know that it meets the MBS required by the standard and is marked accordingly. For the actual 3 MBS or any questions regarding product performance, just give us call or check our website at www.cmcrescue.com.
Belay Device Performance Requirements

NFPA 1983 does not have a specific category for belay devices. Depending on how the device functions, it is tested to either the Rope Grab Standard or to the Descent Control Device standard.
Light-Use
Rope grab devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN (1,124 lbf.) Descent control devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN (1,124 lbf.) and have a 3 MBS of not less than 13.5 kN (3,034 lbf.) If the belay device has a passive breaking feature, the device shall not slip more than 25 mm at a force of 1.35 kN (300 lbf.)
General-Use
Rope grab devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 11 kN (2,500 lbf.) Descent control devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN (1,124 lbf.) and have a 3 MBS of not less than 22 kN (4,946 lbf.) If the belay device has a passive breaking feature, the device shall not slip more than 25 mm at a force of 2.7 kN (600 lbf.)
NFPA 1983 (2006) Pulley Performance Requirements

Light-Use
Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3 MBS) of not less than 22 kN (4,946 lbf.) 3 MBS of a becket of not less than 12 kN (2,698 lbf.)
General-Use
Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3 MBS) of not less than 36 kN (8,093 lbf.) 3 MBS of a becket of not less than 19.5 kN (4,383 lbf.)

CMC Rescue Pulley

A lightweight, full-strength, Prusik minding pulley ideal for mountain rescue, swiftwater, or other technical teams where equipment weight is a significant consideration. By machining the sideplates, the thickness of the metal can be varied to maximize the strength to weight ratio, a process that cannot be done with the traditional bent metal sideplates. The sealed ball bearings provide high efficiency and the aluminum sideplates protect the rope. Extremely low profile stainless steel axle assembly reduces snagging on rocks, roots, and uneven surfaces.

CMC ProSeries CSR Pulley

Confined Space Rescue Pulley
UL Classified to NFPA 1983 General Use Patent Pending
Integral Locking System and Swivel Minimizes Overall Length
Forged Steel Eye is Exceptionally Strong
Locking System Releasable Under Load
Swivel Aligns Pulley with Load
Completely redesigned and refined in 2006, the CMC CSR Pulley is a professional tool for Confined Space Rescue and numerous other rope access and rescue applications. It has a proprietary locking system and, unlike other pulleys that rely on a toothed cam, the CMC CSR Pulley can be unlocked while under load. By eliminating the cam, the pulley system is much more compact when fully collapsed. Another Swivel Double Pulley safety feature is the integral swivel that reduces torque by aligning the pulley with the load. A built-in swivel is considerably more compact as it eliminates the need for multiple connections to incorporate a separate swivel, robbing the raising system of valuable clearance under tripods. The forged steel eye provides exceptional strength. The CSR Pulley, and its companion Swivel Double Pulley, both have high strength aluminum side plates, sealed ball bearings, and anodized aluminum sheaves. Accepts 7/16 and 1/2 in. (11 to 13 mm) diameter rope.

CMC ProSeries Hi-Line Carriage

Knot Pass Pulley High Strength Tie-off Edge Protector
Additional holes for improved connection options, especially for highlines
Anodized aluminum sheave superior to plastic in strength and durability
Large sheave for passing knots
Sealed ball bearings for high efficiency
Built in Sheave LockTM locks the sheave for use as a highstrength tie-off
The CMC ProSeries Hi-Line Carriage incorporates significant improvements that make it the most functional and versatile highline carriage, knot passing pulley, and high strength tie-off available. For highlines, the rigging holes allow for excellent separation of taglines and hoist ropes for reeving variations. For English and Norwegian Reeves, this results in a greater spread between the hoist pulleys, thereby significantly reducing the chance of inadvertent spinning of the load below. The separate rigging holes make rigging easier and also prevent the issue of carabiners binding against each other. Additionally, the anodized aluminum sheave is fitted with sealed ball bearings for high efficiency. When a high-strength tie-off is required, the Hi-Line Carriage incorporates the simple, strong and innovative, built-in Sheave LockTM that completely eliminates the need for separate pins.

CMC Swivels
Our line of swivels are designed exclusively for CMC by Rock Exotica, the originator and leading manufacturer of the rescue swivel. Our three models offer the widest range of performance, allowing the user to select the strength, weight and dimensions that best meet their specific needs. Whether used in a rescue haul system, helicopter operations, or rope access, the addition of a swivel can help prevent system lines from wrapping about each other and can reduce spin caused by loading a free hanging rope. CMC Rescue Swivel The standard size rescue swivel for stretcher systems and helicopter operations combines high strength and light weight. Symmetrical holes provide room for multiple carabiners. High speed, multiaxis CNC machining allows a full featured swivel at a new, reduced price for the best value in the industry. ProSeries Swivel Designed to work at high loads, not just to survive them, this is a larger swivel with a special bearing that allows a much higher working load without damage than the bearings in other swivels. ProTech Swivel This compact, low-profile swivel is ideal for special uses where minimum size and weight are required such as wilderness rescue or tactical operations.

selecting a carabiner
Deciding which carabiner is best for an application requires deciding between such factors as strength, gate type, weight, and size. As usual, one factor may compromise another. Strength carabiners are quite strong and the D-shape models shift the load towards the spine, providing greater strength for the size and weight. Determining your expected system loads will help you decide between a General Use or Light Use model. More important is realizing that the way the carabiner is used in the system has a significant effect on its strength. Anything that moves the load away from the spine towards the gate, such as wide webbing or a 3-way loading, can reduce the carabiners practical strength, sometimes as much as 50%. This may require a stronger carabiner or the use of a Delta Quick Link. Gate a screw-lock gate is easy to use and less prone to having a mechanical problem, but you do have to remember to screw it locked. Some screw lock carabiners are susceptible to un-locking with vibration and a standard practice is to rig them with the lock on the down side. Auto-locks will lock automatically, if nothing gets in the way, and do not have the vibration issue making them popular with helicopter operations. Because it only takes a twist and push to open the gate, some users prefer the 3-stage gates for added security. Weight If you always drive to the rescue, steel carabiners give you the largest margin of safety. If you have to hike, climb, or fly to the rescue, aluminum carabiners can reduce weight significantly. CMCs new ProSeries carabiners provide General Use strength at less than half the weight of steel. Catalog figures are the latest calculated 3 MBS from the certification procedure at the time the catalog was produced. Product will be labeled with the minimum MBS required by the standard.

CMC Rescue Rack

The CMC Rescue Rack offers several innovative features to provide enhanced performance. The fat aluminum bars provide excellent control for rescue loads. The bars are center drilled to reduce weight and allow better heat dissipation and have CMCs exceptionally long wearing proprietary finish that we use on our aluminum Rescue 8s. The finish also prevents transfer of material to the rope, common with bare aluminum bars. The Turbo Bar at the top has a training groove to center the rope plus a tie-off pin on the side. The second bar has a straight slot and a training groove to help warn the user of a mis-rigged rack. Since the top two bars do most of the work, they are a full one inch in diameter. The next four angled slot bars are 7/8 inch. The stainless steel frame has a welded eye and features a special locking nut with no sharp corners that might damage the rope. The rack comes assembled, ready for use. 3 MBS: General Use 11.5-13 mm, 4,946 lbf. (22 kN); Light Use 9.5-11.5 mm, 4,047 lbf. (18 kN).

improved! Petzl ID Self Braking Descender

UL Classified to NFPA 1983 EN 341 Class A
Its auto-locking feature combined with a locking position for the handle make the Petzl ID an excellent descender for working on rope. Additional safety features include an anti-panic function that stops the descent if the handle is pushed too far and an anti-error safety catch that reduces the risk of an accident from the incorrect installation on the rope. Maximum descent distance: 660 ft. (200m). The Small (345D21) model has a safety clip on the swinging side plate that reduces the risk of dropping the device when removed from the rope, such as when passing intermediate anchors.

CMC Rescue 8
The classic CMC Rescue 8 design has been refined for even better performance with the current selection of rescue rope. Over twenty years ago, descenders had to accommodate rescue rope sizes from 7/16 to 5/8 inch. Today 5/8 in. rope is no longer common and the smaller dimensions of the new design provide greater control. CMCs exotic proprietary finish on the aluminum model provides outstanding wear resistance. The nickel-chrome plated steel model excels in the exceptionally high wear situations such as helicopter operations or sandy, gritty environments. The extended carabiner hole provides room for multiple carabiners. Both models are machined from 1/2 in. plate.

CMC Rescue Escape Artist

The most advanced escape descent control device available.
Intended for the most extreme conditions, the Escape Artists all metal construction and minimum number of parts provides durability and reliable performance and offers what most other escape devices do not - a hands-free edge transition and a controllable descent.
super finish on CMCs Aluminum 8

Whether hard or soft, the surface anodizing on aluminum descenders eventually wears through. Working with a company that specializes in material coatings, we developed a finish for our Rescue 8 and Rappel 8 that outwears every descender weve used. Our test sample spent over 6 months in CMC Rescue School classes with multiple rappels in each class without showing any indication of the surface wearing through.

When to Retire aHarness.

The service life of a rescue harness is closely related to that of a rescue ropeboth are used in the same environments, both are made from nylon or polyester, and both receive similar levels of inspection and care. Since harnesses are worn on the body, they are generally better protected than ropes. However, harnesses rely on stitching to hold them together, and because of threads small diameter, it can be more susceptible to abrasion, aging, and chemical damage than web or rope. Industry standards range from as little as a 2-year service life for fall protection and sport climbing harnesses to a 10-year maximum service life of kernmantle rescue ropes. This suggests a 10-year maximum shelf life for harnesses, with a shorter service life based on frequency of use. If there is any doubt about the safety of the harness, it should be removed from service

CMC RESCUE HARNESSES
How Standards Help the Rescuer

When rappelling or stretcher tending, rescuers are usually already at the end of the rope and are not likely to fall. Working near the edge has a potential for a fall, but fortunately falls of the severity simulated in the standards happen very seldom. This is particularly true with the NFPA 1983 requirement that after a head-up fall, the harness is subjected to a second, head down fall. The static test loads the attachment points on the harness more than 10 times the weight of a rescuer. Not only is the test conducted in the normal head up position, but also in a head down position, requiring the harness to demonstrate its strength no matter which direction the rescuer moves. The rescue harness is tested to measure its performance as a finished product. The severity of the tests provide excellent assurance that the harness will perform exceptionally well under normal use. What is very difficult to write into the standard is the human factor of the harness the ease of donning and comfort. By using CMC harnesses ourselves and with feedback from our customers, we include the donning and comfort as well as strength into our harness designs.
NFPA Standard 1983 Life Safety Harness and Belt Types

Class I Life Safety Harness a pelvic harness designed for escape and with a design load of 300 lbf. (1.33 kN). Class II Life Safety Harness a pelvic harness designed for rescue and with a design load of 600 lbf. (2.67 kN). Class III Life Safety Harness a full body harness designed for rescue and with a design load of 600 lbf. (2.67 kN). Ladder Belt a belt with at least one attachment point and is a positioning device for a person on a ladder. Ladder belts shall have a tether or device for connecting to the ladder, with a maximum length not to exceed 24 in. (610 mm). Escape Belt a belt with at least one attachment point and is an emergency self-rescue device.
NFPA Standard 1983 Life Safety Harness and Belt Performance Requirements
The test method in the standard requires a static test and a drop test. The static test differentiates between load bearing attachment points and positioning attachment points with different load requirements for each. Where attachment points such as shoulder or side D-rings are intended to be used in pairs, the test will be done in pairs.
Static Test Requirements for Load Bearing Attachment Points

Test Position Class I Class II Class III Ladder Belt Escape Belt
Head up Head down Horizontal
3,597 lbf. (16 kN) None None
3,597 lbf. (16 kN) 2,248 lbf. (10 kN) None
2,923 lbf. (13 kN) None 2,248 lbf. (10 kN)
Positioning attachment points requirements are 2,923 lbf. (13kN) for the head up test and 2,248 lbf. (10 kN) for a horizontal test . Harnesses and escape belts are required to pass a drop test for each attachment point. The test method uses a 300 lb. (136kg) manikin dropped one meter on a 1.2 meter steel lanyard. Each sample is tested with a head up drop and a head down drop.

CMCs Testing Program

CMCs instructors and engineers are a curious lot, always asking what would happen if they did . We also get a lot of what if questions from students and customers. Since weve always been interested in answering as many of these questions as possible, weve done a lot of product performance testing over the years. Now, our newly constructed test tower allows us to conduct many more product performance tests, like the NFPA harness static test (left) and drop test (above). We are also able to test belay and anchor systems with dynamic or static loading. As we experiment with new design ideas and different rescue systems, we are able to see what works best from a laboratory perspective. Through trials in the field and feedback from students in rescue school classes, we add real world input to come up with the best products possible. KEYWORD SEARCH | TABLE OF CONTENTS | INDEX

CMC ProTech Haz-Mat Extrication Harness

The Haz-Mat Extrication Harness was designed with Phoenix Fire Captain Mark Delima as an extrication device for personnel wearing Level-A chemical protective clothing (NFPA 472). The harness is worn over the garment and incorporates a dorsal attachment point for lifting or lowering the rescuer. The web straps of the harness also provide easy grab points if an incapacitated rescuer needs to be lifted or moved. The harness may also be used with other bulky protective wear such as immersion or ice rescue suits. Because of the unknown level of exposure to chemical atmospheres or direct chemical contact inherent in a hazardous materials incident, haz-mat equipment is usually required to be disposable. Although designed to be a one-time-use harness, the Haz-Mat Extrication Harness is made by CMC with the same care and quality materials as all CMC harnesses and can be reused if deployed in non-toxic atmospheres. One size fits most personnel. Weight: 1 lb. 12 oz. (794 g) Item #202910 $110.00

CMC Rescue Harness

This classic CMC harness design offers outstanding comfort in a very lightweight design. The CMC Rescue Harness was the first harness we know of that was designed to meet the needs of rescuers rather than sport climbers. Its unique front D-Ring provides an attachment point that will accept multiple carabiners and makes clipping in quick and secure, even when hanging in the harness. The front lift assembly has been re-designed for greater comfort which includes improved adjuster buckles and Web-Keepers. We also added light padding on the waist to increase comfort without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. The leg loops are now the same low-profile molded design used on the ProTech Harness series. Tie-in points include the rear waist D-Ring for fall restraint and the front waist D-Ring that provides the wearer with the famous CMC level of comfort for rappels. Weight: 3 lbs. (1.4 kg)

CMC Rescue Womens Harness

The innovative design of the CMC Womens Harness is the result of detailed design criteria received from active female rescuers.

The Womens Harness was designed to meet the performance needs and comfort requirements of the female skeletal structure. Padding for the waist and legs is contour cut for maximum comfort while walking or sitting in the harness, and is backed by our D3 breathable cloth. The harness includes front and rear D-Rings attachment points and gear slings. Weight: 2 lbs. 5 oz. (1 kg)

CMC Rescue Survivor products

The Survivor product line began with a fire department request for a ladder belt that had the comfort and quality of a CMC harness. Based on the traditional ladder belt that provided fall restraint and basic tool carrying capability, we added comfort features and the strength necessary to meet the requirements of NFPA Standard 1983. CMC has continued to expand the product line for fire ground belts and harnesses by combining our design and engineering with the ongoing input from firefighters. The Survivor Escape Belts can significantly increase the safety of firefighters by providing more and better options for fall restraint and emergency escape.

CMC Rescue Pro Pocket

Many of us have been using small stuff bags hanging from our rescue harness to store runners, safety scissors, gloves, and other equipment.

CMC Rescue Com-Center Radio Harness

Have you noticed that while radios are getting smaller, we are carrying more and more electronics? The Com-Center is designed to fit the smaller radio units but also have a place for your cell phone and GPS. It also has a number of design features that add to the comfort. The new strap system is wider and the elasticized waist strap carries more of the weight, reducing the load on the shoulders. The shoulder straps adjust at the front, eliminating any buckles or adjusters over the shoulder or under shoulder straps. The front pocket with flap fits most cell phones and small GPS units. (During field tests, we found that the Garmin eTrex units maintained their satellite reception when carried in the pocket.) The back of the panel is padded with D3 Cloth for comfort and breathability. The full-size back pocket is big enough for a notebook or folded map. Radio pocket is adjustable for a secure fit and a zippered front pocket can be used to hold spare batteries or other small items. Color: Black.

Selecting a Personal Escape Rope

The small diameter and generally soft construction of personal escape ropes allow a longer rope to be carried in a compact pack. The compromise is rope with less durability than a larger diameter or stiffer construction rope. Although our experience has shown that CMC Rescue Escape Line holds up well on multiple rappels, if other activities such as tool hauling are planned, we would suggest considering the use of a 3/8-inch diameter lifeline rather than a personal escape rope. Choosing the best length of personal escape rope to carry is also a compromise. Depending on your area of operations, building heights may be consistent or vary widely. Enough rope to reach the ground from the higher buildings may be too bulky to carry, especially when working at a lower height. With a personal escape rope that can reach several floors, even on the higher structures, you can safely escape down to a lower floor or landing. Although personal escape ropes are exposed to heat during normal operations, there seems to be little evidence from the field that the ropes are being compromised. Initial testing by F.I.R.E.S. did not point to problems with the nylon ropes as a result of heat exposure. If you feel that the temperatures you face are a concern, consider the CMC ProSeries Escape Line, which has a higher temperature rating.
Selecting a RIT Line

The effectiveness of the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) of a Two In Two Out response is directly dependent on how quickly they can locate the entry team. A RIT Line (called Guide Lines in Europe) is a simple, yet effective means of locating a downed firefighter or for providing guidance when retracing your path under conditions of limited visibility. Consider the following features when selecting a RIT Line: Durable reasonably strong, but with a sheath that handles well and protects the line from abrasion Survivable a fiber that will resist high temperatures and open flame Compact small enough to allow a practical length to be carried without adding weight or bulk Visible a light color with a contrasting stripe to help it stand out from the background Tactile round and firm enough to feel against surfaces while wearing heavy gloves CMC Rescue offers RIT Line in kits that integrate with the CMC ProSeries RIT Line Bags. The 50-foot lengths are a good choice for most structure responses and are compact enough to be left on an escape belt or SCBA. The 150-foot kits provide added length for warehouse or industrial buildings. CMC ProSeries RIT Line and bags are also available separately allowing customers to design a system to meet their own requirements.
NFPA 1983 (2006) Escape Rope Performance Requirements

Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3 MBS) of not less than 13.5 kN (3,034 lbf.) Minimum elongation of not less than 1% at 10% of the breaking strength Maximum elongation of not more than 10% at 10% of the breaking strength Minimum diameter of 7.5 mm (19/64-inch) Maximum diameter of 9.5 mm (3/8-inch) Fiber shall have a melting point of not less than 204C (400F)

CMC Survivor Escape and RIT Kits

CMC Rescues Survivor Kits offer firefighters a variety of choices for bailout, building search, and RIT team operations. We know that everyone has a personal preference for the rope they carry. Some use a smaller diameter line for search and hauling tools, knowing it will also hold their weight for an emergency rappel. Others prefer ropes certified to the NFPA 1983 Escape Line Standard. Firefighters who use their rope only for emergency rappel or escape kits can be configured for immediate deployment. Escape and RIT Kit Bags come in a variety of shapes and can be mounted on SCBA belts, tool belts and ladder belts, or suspended from an SCBA. Choosing the right Escape or RIT Kit from CMCs wide range of options can be challenging. We suggest starting by selecting the primary components based on what is most important to you. Choose a Descender: CMC ProSeries Escape Artist The state of the art descender for emergency bailout. It supports your weight and leaves both hands free to negotiate an edge transition. CMC Survivor 8 Quick to rig, making it useful if the rope is used for tasks besides an emergency escape. The rope must be gripped throughout the escape exit and descent.

AIR OPERATIONS | user guide
Air Operations Equipment

It is critical for air operations rescue equipment to be ergonomically designed so that the operators focus remains on the task at hand and not on how to operate the equipment. Harnesses must be easily donned and doffed, straps must be simple to use, and buckles easy to operate. The equipment also has to meet applicable performance standards as well as air worthiness requirements. Whether rappelling out of a helicopter or attaching a litter to the hoist cable, our air rescue products are designed without any compromise, with the operator in mind.
Travel Restraint
Most rescues are conducted with at least one cabin door open. A critical component in such an operation is to maintain travel restraint while working. The CMC ProSeries Pick-Off Strap is ideal where short tethers are necessary. The CMC Rescue ATR Strap is designed for large size cabins where crew members are required to maintain mobility within their work area. The ATR strap is also ideal when making hoist transitions through the doorway.
Rope
Our aluminum CMC Rescue 8 and 1/2 or 7/16 inch CMC Rescue Static-Pro Lifeline kernmantle ropes are ideal for heli-rappel operations. From single rescuer insertions to large animal rescues, the CMC Short Haul Line is designed with performance in mind in order to accommodate short haul mission requirements.
Harness
The ProSeries Helitack Harness is designed primarily for hoist rescue operations. Multiple attachment points for travel restraint, as well as suspension, allow flexibility for the wearer to satisfy a variety of mission needs. The ProTech Fire-Rescue Harness is a simple and cost-effective design, ideal for multi-discipline rescuers.
Carabiners
Strong vibrations are inherent with helicopter operations. Our 3-stage autolocking CMC Rescue Steel and CMC ProSeries Aluminum Auto Locking D carabiners offer a higher level of security than traditional screw-lock carabiners for helicopter operations.
Patient Transport
The CMC ProSeries Titanium Rescue Stretcher is lightweight, rugged and versatile making it ideal for most hoist and short haul operations. Combined with the ProSeries Stretcher Harness, the length of the straps can be adjusted to accommodate both internal and externally mounted hoists. The Bauman Bag from Rainy Day Equipment is compact and its unique shape is designed to minimize oscillation when suspended beneath a helicopter. For ambulatory subjects, the Bauman Screamer Suit provides a rapid and secure method of evacuation.
Equipment and Rope Bags

CMC offers a variety of rope bags and gear bags to accommodate your equipment storage needs. The Shasta Gear Bag is ideal for storing a rescue equipment kit while the Quick Response Bag is ideal for storing personal gear.

ount Rushmore National Memorial is one of the most famous and recognizable sites in the United States. Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota and visited by more than 2.6 million people each year, it is the largest sculpture in the world.
The massive work of art was created between 1927 and 1941 by a team of skilled workers under the direction of master sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Using blasting and carving techniques, they performed much of the work from rickety scaffolds and winch-suspended boatswains chairs. After its completion, Mount Rushmore was put under the care of the U.S. Park Service. Since that time, whenever Park Service personnel needed to access the 60-foot tall faceswhich was quite rarelythey would use the same winches and chairs that had been left by the original sculpting crew. Then, in 1998, sophisticated instrumentation was installed on the faces to monitor possible movement of the rock and changes in the size of existing cracks on the faces. As part of their on-going care of the sculpture, the Park Service began to realize they would have to have better access to the faces. Duane Bubac, Chief of Cultural Resources and Facilities at the Memorial, contacted the Bureau of Reclamation about possibly conducting training classes to equip a team of in-house personnel who could then perform routine inspections and maintenance on the mountain.

Students practiced rope to rope transfers under the Presidents noses to demonstrate the flexibility of modern rope-access techniques.
During the week of June 13, 2005, a rope-access training class was held at the memorial. Seven individuals, including law enforcement rangers, an interpretive ranger, three rangers from maintenance, and a park volunteer worker, received rope-access training. During the first few days, classes took place at the three-story parking garage near the base of the monument. This allowed easy access for the students, since the hike to the top of the heads takes 30-45 minutes. Midway during the week, however, the training was moved to the faces themselves. For several of the park personnel, actually working on the faces was a life-long goal, since access to them had always been extremely limited. Students practiced rope to rope transfers under the four Presidents noses to demonstrate the flexibility of modern rope-access techniques. The week concluded with a certification session run by a SPRAT evaluator (see sidebar at right). All seven of the trainees passed and received their SPRAT Worker Certification. Mt. Rushmore, as it turns out, is a nearly ideal venue for work with modern rope-access techniques. Access to the area above the access zone is quite good and closed to the public. The approach to top of the heads, although strenuous, is safe, and anchors can be placed in sound rock for every work area. The heads were sculpted in granite, which is generally quite smooth and extremely stable, so rock fall is rarely a concern. The hazard zone below the heads is also closed to the public, and despite appearances, most of the drops are relatively shorta 60-meter rope allows access the nearly any point on the sculpture.

When the Memorial was being constructed, workers used a combination of linseed oil, lead, and granite dust to seal the numerous cracks on the faces in order to minimize water infiltration into the host rock. Using their new rope access skills, Park service personnel will now be able to examine the sealing materials and determine how well it is working, and whether a more advanced material needs to be applied. They will work to make sure that the faces of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln will continue to survey the South Dakota landscape for many decades to come. I

The Society for Professional Rope Access Technicians represents a variety of occupations that use rope to access a work location. Since 1997, SPRAT has been working to develop consensus-based safety and certification standards. The organization allows anyone working on rope to have a voice in issues that affect their occupation. SPRAT certification lets employers verify professional competence and experience. CMC Rescue is a founding member of SPRAT and continues to support the organization. Visit the SPRAT website at www.sprat.org.
CMC Rescue visited Mount Rushmore with a camera crew during the final days of the rope access teams training. We were given unprecedented access and allowed to visit the top of the monument in order to take the remarkable photographs you see on these pages. Our Mount Rushmore photos were taken by Kevin Steele (shown above), a photojournalist, who is also a highly experienced big wall climber. More of Kevins work can be seen at www.kevsteele.com.

note on helmet stickers

It has become a common practice for hard hat users to apply self-adhesive stickers to personalize their hard hats or for other marking or identification purposes. Considering the type of adhesive used in typical pressure-sensitive stickers, there is very little potential for chemical interaction between the adhesive and the helmet shell. As a result, the use of stickers would not be expected to negatively affect the performance of the helmet under normal conditions.

Hardware is stored in the three large compartments of this zipper pocketed saddle, which is strapped to a rope bag and can be quickly removed when its time to deploy the rope.

CMC Rescue One-Inch Flat Webbing

We have been using our one-inch flat webbing in our rescue classes for several years and it has proven to be an excellent performer. While not all flat web will hold a knot securely, CMC Rescue Flat Webbing has been specifically selected for the suppleness necessary to allow knots to be set securely. Flat web also tends to be easier to untie after a heavy load than the much softer tubular web. While the flat web is bulkier than the tubular, it does provide a significantly higher strength. Nylon (orange is polyester). Available by the foot or spool. Note: Industry practice allows for up to three sections per spool.

THE PICK OFF RESCUE the Pick off rescue
CMC ProSeries Pick Off Strap

CMC created the Pick Off Strap so that a rescuer could quickly connect to the victim and then adjust the strap to the desired length. CMC Pick Off Strap works well for positioning the victim for a lowering or rappel-based pick off or for an assisted rappel. We added a loop to the end for a more positive grip when pulling to adjust. Our ProSeries blue web improves the long-term performance, especially where it threads through the buckle. D-Ring end is rated at 8,039 lbf. (36 kN). Depending on how the buckle is loaded, it will begin to slip between 3,500 to 4,500 lbf. (15-20 kN). Tying off the buckle will increase the strength. This Pick Off Strap with Web Keeper allows the strap to be carried on a gear sling or harness with out tangling or getting caught. Color: Blue. Length when fully extended: 42 in. (107 cm) Weight: 13 oz. (368 g) Item #201106 Item #201101 CMC ProSeries Pick Off Strap CMC ProSeries Pick Off Strap with Web Keeper $35.00 $39.00
Not all subjects are injured or require immobilization and transport in a stretcher, so a rappel-based rescue can often be used. One common rappel-based rescue involves transferring the subject onto the rescuers descender. This is usually referred to as a pick off. Hands-on experience practicing and teaching this technique led to the development of the CMC ProSeries Pick Off Strap as a more efficient way of quickly securing a subject then transferring their weight. Todays CMC Rescue School classes teach team-based skills, and the pick off rescue now employs a main line and a belay line. The Pick Off Strap continues to be used for quick attachment to the subject, effecting the weight transfer, and then positioning the subject above the rescuer for best control. Similar product ideas that followed the Pick Off Strap included the CMC ProSeries Adjustable Stretcher Strap, which provided a more efficient tender tie-in for low angle evacuations, and the CMC ProSeries Load Release Strap. The Load Release Strap is a compact, simple, easy to rig way to release the load on the ratchet of the main line or a loaded belay device. These are just a few of the original CMC designs that have been widely adopted by rescuers around the world.
CMC ProSeries Adjustable Stretcher Strap

Tying in at the right distance from the litter is the key to comfort and efficiency. Thats why we developed the Adjustable Stretcher Strap. Minor adjustments can be made while the litter is moving. Quickly releasing the buckle extends the strap rather than dragging the rescuer down with the litter. Sewn loop strength exceeds 8,039 lbf. (36 kN). Buckle performs the same as the Pick Off Strap described above. Length when fully extended: 30 in. (76 cm) Color: Blue. Weight: 9 oz. (255 g) Item #201102 $31.00
CMC ProSeries Load Release Strap

The Load Release Strap is designed to be used in the end-to-end configuration. It is tested in the manner of use and while the wraps were done the same for each sample, they appear to have introduced a variability to the results such that the 3 approach to calculating a statistical minimum breaking strength may not be appropriate. The test results of five samples ranged from a Minimum of 6,200 lbf. (27.6 kN) to a maximum of 10,900 lbf. (48.7 kN). Length when fully extended: 32 in. (81 cm) Weight: 14 oz.

CMC ProSeries Low-Angle Evac Stretcher Harness

The CMC ProSeries Low-Angle Evac Stretcher Harness is faster to use than tying a harness out of web. A harness on the outside of the stretcher achieves greater stability than connecting carabiners directly to the stretcher railing. The center strap provides an adjustable backup to the other legs. Made of our ProSeries 1-3/4 in. flat web with a tensile strength of 10,000 lbf. All hardware meets NFPA and military specifications. The two outside straps attach just below the railing to the cross bar, on the sides of the stretcher. The adjustable strap attaches around the horizontal tubing in the center of the head section. This harness was designed to fit the heavy-duty Rescue Litter. Rated Strength: 5,000 lbf. (22 kN). A nylon storage bag is included. Weight: 2 lbs., 1 oz. (936 g) Web Color: Blue. Item # 724123 Harness only (carabiner not included) $83.75
CMC Rescue Vertical-Lift Stretcher Harness

Confined spaces and narrow openings require the stretcher to be rigged with the patient held vertically in order to fit, and these openings usually end with a 90-degree transition. The Vertical-Lift Harness eases the transition over an edge when a high anchor point is not available, such as a parapet roof, out a window, off a tank top, or over a handrail. This reduces the manpower requirements, improves patient care and reduces risk. The unique spreader bar allows the stretcher to pivot between the side straps as the head of the stretcher clears the edge. Constructed of 6,000 lbf., oneinch flat web for high strength and lightweight. Buckles allow easy adjustment. Delta Quick Link included. Weight: 2 lbs., 15 oz. (1.3 kg)

CMC Rescue Patient Tie-In System

For many years the accepted method for securing a patient into the stretcher was improvised internal and external lashings using one-inch tubular web. Not everyone remembers how to do it and often the finished lashing was either too tight or too loose. Looking for a quicker and more secure way, the CMC Rescue Patient TieIn System was developed after testing a variety of prototypes during CMC Rescue School classes. The refined product is quick, secure, and can be easily adjusted to meet the patients requirements for comfort. The pelvic harness part of the system supports the patients weight when the stretcher is placed in a head up position. The external lashings are available for a one-piece or two-piece stretcher. They can be used with the pelvic harness system or for a patient on a backboard. Color-coded web helps keep the system organized.

To save freight expense to our customers, most litters and manikins are drop shipped from the factory. When possible we ship freight collect. For government customers we can ship prepaid and add shipping to the invoice. Please allow several weeks for delivery.
The patent-pending StrtLoad attachment points for the CMC Stretchers allow any size carabiner to be used to attach a lifting bridle, while keeping both the carabiners and the lifting bridle on the inside of the stretcher's top rail (where it is protected from abrasion along cliff faces and building walls). The StrtLoad feature prevents cross gate and side loading of carabiners and orients the direction of pull along the spine of the carabiner where it is strongest. The stainless steel Str atLoad is 1/4-inch thick with a full-round radius on the inside edge, allowing a softattachment which is then protected by the top railing. The StrtLoad comes standard on Steel Stretchers and is available as an option on Ti Stretchers.

CMC ProTech Rescue Stretcher

The CMC ProTech Stretchers are light-duty, disaster response stretchers designed for durability and versatility. The unique feature of the ProTech Stretchers is the tubular runner rails that run the full length of the stretcher along the bottom. These provide a very strong and durable base, making it far more difficult to damage from regular use, as compared to other baskets that simply use a flat bar. This product represents a very cost-effective alternative to the more heavy-duty stainless steel models, and will meet the needs of many users who only use stretchers occasionally, or who are on very limited budgets for rescue equipment. All models are 7 1/4 in. (18 cm) deep. Durathene netting. Powder coated steel. Load Rating: 900 lbf. (4 kN). Color: Black.

CMC Rescue Litter Shield Plus

Taller and with a Universal Mounting Bracket
Protect your patient from further trauma during stretcher evacuations and carryouts. A patient in a stretcher has a very limited ability to protect their face, head, and neck. Since its inception, the CMC Rescue Litter Shield has made several saves by deflecting falling rocks away from patients heads. The shield provides protection from falling rocks and debris, inclement weather, and brush without compromising access to and visibility of the patients head. New for 2006, the Litter Shield Plus is taller to provide more room for a patient on a backboard or litter insert, and to help reduce the closed-in feeling experienced by some patients. The new mounting bracket eliminates the need for a railing clamp on the stretcher and allows the shield to fit most stretchers. Molded of thick Lexan, the Litter Shield offers impact resistance with the clarity and weather-ability of glass. Patient comfort is increased due to the reduced need for other head and face protective equipment. Patented. Weight: 6 lbs.

Russ Anderson Universal Litter Wheel

Because it clamps to the top rail, the Russ Anderson Universal Litter Wheel will fit a wide variety of litters, including the plastic litters and the metal litters that have the flat metal straps for bottom rails. The wheel uses an all-terrain tire that provides comfort and stability. Unique locking device "clamps" the frame to the litter. Weight: 30 lbs. (14 kg) Item #330700 $716.50
CMC Rescue Original Litter Shield
Shield Inverts for Storage Our Original Litter Shield attaches to a mount on the stretcher rail that allows the shield to pivot and nest inside the stretcher. A quick release pin allows the shield to be completely removed if necessary. The lower profile makes storage easier, but does not provide as much clearance for the patients face as the Litter Shield Plus shown above. Patented. Weight: 6 lbs. (2.7 kg) Each shield requires a railing clamp that must be ordered separately.

ARIZONA VORTEX
Development of the Rock Exotica Arizona Vortex Multipod

The Arizona Vortex was developed in the desert mountains of northern Arizona. Its design was based on expertise gained while working with wooden timber frame artificial high directionals constructed for vertical rescue work. Initial development work was done during Ropes That Rescue (RTR) Seminars under the direction of Reed Thorne. The first metal prototype of the Arizona Vortex was an easel-style AFrame welded together from steel square tubing and plate. Although heavy and cumbersome, it provided a test bed for proving and refining the design. The next step was the construction of an aluminum prototype. It was tested in four one-week-long RTR rigging seminars before the next prototype was made. It refined the legs adjusting system and introduced the Raptor foot design (named for its claw-like appearance). The shape of the foot helps direct forces downward into the soft soil often found in mines and wilderness locations. Three more years of use in rescue, rigging seminars, and rope access worldwide allowed Reed Thorne to further refine the design. With the help and exquisite craftsmanship of Rock Thompson of ROCK EXOTICA, and input from other users, the next generation of the Arizona Vortex took shapethe Rock Exotica AZ Vortex Multipod. It is incredibly versatile and can be rigged as a tripod, a bipod, or monopod. The first tests of the AZV Multipod took place in Australia during late 2003.

advanced skills, training and safety

While tripods are inherently stable under most conditions, A-Frames (bipods) and Gin Poles (monopods) are not. Improper rigging will put subjects and rescuers at risk. A knowledge of advanced rigging and complex guying systems is essential to safely set up A-Frames and Gin Poles. As with all rescue techniques, and particularly where advanced skills are involved, CMC urges professional level training. Training specific to the use of the AZ Vortex Multipod is available from CMC Rescue School and Ropes That Rescue, Ltd. Both programs offer a discount program for purchasers of the AZ Vortex Multipod. CMC Rescue School: Custom courses taught at your location. Contact us at www.cmcrescue.com or call 800 235-5741 for specific course information.

arizona vortex multipod configurations

The flexibility of the Arizona Vortex Multipod allows for three different configurations to meet the requirements of a specific rescue. Tripod The most stable configuration. The articulating third leg allows the head to be moved closer to an edge than in a conventional tripod. Bipod Has good stability in one direction, but must be securely guyed. It can be positioned square or sideways to the direction of the load. Gin Pole The least stable configuration and needs to be securely guyed. May be the only choice when there is not room for more than one leg.
Tripod
Multipod Features:
Color Coding Top and Bottom sections of the legs are colored differently to aid in assembly. The two parts of the head come in different colors for quick identification. Telescoping Legs The top legs telescope inside the lower legs and slide through the head to allow adjustment of both the overall height or the height of a single leg. Pulley Mount A pulley can be mounted directly into the head, eliminating the height lost when a carabiner is used as a connector. Head Set Pulley Wheel The Multipod includes a Head Set Pulley Wheel that mounts into the head set with a pin. This allows maximum height adjustment and eliminates the need for additional hardware.

Rock Exotica AZ Vortex Multipod

Reflecting the experience of the many users during Ropes That Rescue Ltd. workshops, and CMC Rescue School classes, the new AZ Vortex Multipod is the next evolution of the Arizona Vortex. Named the Multipod because of its flexibility, the two-piece head can be rigged as a standard tripod, or in advanced applications as an A-Frame, a sideways A-Frame, or a Gin Pole. The easel leg allows the tripod to be leaned to form an easel A-Frame, placing anchor points closer to the cliff or structure edge. With the adjustable leg lengths (combining both the original AZV design of projecting a leg through the head unit and the new telescoping legs), and the versatile third leg, the Multipod lets rescuers set up an artificial high directional in virtually any urban, industrial, or wilderness location. The lighter Head Set and the lighter, more compact legs make the Multipod easier to transport. On A-Frame and easel AFrame applications, at least two pulleys can now be attached directly into the Head Set without carabiners, eliminating lost headspace and working clearance. This double pulley feature makes the Multipod ideal for use with highlines and tracking line offsets. The extra attachment points also work well for rope access where several lines may be needed over the edge. Three different types of Vortex feet are available to provide a secure footing on varying terrain. Inside height clearance in regular tripod configuration: 9 ft.; Height (with additional legs): 12 ft.; System weight: 62 lbs. (28.1 kg) The AZ Vortex Multipod comes without feet, allowing the user to select the Foot Set, or sets, that best meet their application. Feet must be ordered separately. Use without feet is not recommended.

CONFINED SPACE
Confined Space Entry and Rescue

Section 1910.146 Permit-Required Confined Spaces, Section 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations governs confined space entry and rescue. Many states have their own regulations which are equal to or stricter than the federal standard.
Confined space rescue equipment needs to be durable and flexible. Tight spaces require equipment that can withstand all the crawling and dragging involved. Confined space rescues often have awkward access problems and the rescuer may need to rappel, be lowered vertically, or crawl into the space. Environmental hazards are always a concern and must be mitigated prior to entry. Harness The ProSeries Confined Space Rescue Harness provides the ultimate comfort and flexibility with shoulder lift, rappel, and fall protection attachment points. The ProTech Fire-Rescue Harness is a very cost-effective choice that meets the needs of most confined space entries or rescue. Personal Protective Equipment The low profile and snug fit of the Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet have made it a popular choice for head protection in confined spaces. It has clips for securely retaining goggles or a headlamp. The CMC Rescue Rappel Glove is a good, all-around work glove for rigging and tending systems. The CMC Rescue Riggers Glove provides greater dexterity with excellent hand protection, making it a good choice for an entrant. For knee and elbow protection, the Alta Superflex Knee Pads and Flex Industrial Elbow Pads are comfortable and stay securely in place. Headlamps and Lights The Princeton Tec Yukon Rescue HL and the CMC Rescue EOS Headlamp by Princeton Tec are both UL Listed. Access and Retrieval The CMC Rescue CSR Pulley Kit allows a rope based access and retrieval system to be used for moving patients in a confined space rescue, providing clearance for stretchers. Edge Protection The Born Entry Ease solves edge problems when a high anchor is not available. The Ultra-Pro Edge Protector can be bent around edges to reduce friction and sharp bends. The CMC Rescue Industrial Edger is a quick way to eliminate sharp edges and corners on I-beams. Portable High Anchors for Rescue For vertical access, the Skedco SKED-EVAC Tripod is strong and sets up quickly and easily. If your portable high anchor must adapt for uneven terrain or awkward locations, the AZ Vortex Multipod has a wide range of adjustment with leg angle and length. Patient Packaging The LSP Miller Full Body Splint provides spine protection in a very narrow package. For narrow openings consider the confined space model of the CMC ProTech Rescue Stretcher which is less than 19 inches wide. Use the Skedco HALF-SKED Patient Drag and OSS II Spine Splint II to help manage patients in difficult to access locations. The LSP Half Back Extrication/Lift Harness provides vertical lift capability with spinal protection for difficult extrications. Communications Con-Space leads the industry in confined space and hazardous location communications and the Con-Space Rescue Kit 1P with its 2-in/2-out capability is the choice of most organizations responding to confined space rescues. They also have communications systems for work-related confined space entry. Protecto Cable Wrap will help keep rescue ropes, air lines, and communication cables organized and moving together. Air Monitoring and Mitigation For air monitoring, the Lumidor MicroMax Plus Gas Monitor is a rugged unit and the compact size of the Lumidor Minimax Gas Monitor makes it easy to wear during an entry. They both come set up to monitor the four atmospheres that rescuers responding to a confined space incident will most likely encounter. RAMFAN Blowers/Exhausters have the portability, ease of operation, and durability needed by a rescue squad and offer a battery pack model for locations that do not have access to power.
Industrial Rescue
The industrial rescuer uses much of the same equipment as the General Use Fire/Rescue responder or the confined space specialist with consideration for any workplace safety regulations. Equipment particularly suitable for the industrial rescuer is highlighted here. Harness The CMC ProTech Riggers Harness or the CMC/Roco Universal One-Piece Harness have the performance of a rescue harness and have a Z359.1 type fall arrest attachment point. Helmet The Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet is a lightweight, comfortable helmet that meets ANSI requirements. The Bullard Advent A2 combines an industry leading safety helmet with the adjustable 3-point harness system necessary for work at height. Radio Harness The CMC ProSeries Radio Harness provides accessible, secure storage for the radio with room for accessories. Gloves The CMC Rescue Rappel Glove provides a balance of protection, dexterity, and durability. If greater dexterity is needed for working with ropes or patients, consider the CMC Rescue Riggers Glove. Carabiner Steel carabiners such as the CMC Rescue Large Steel models provide the strength and durability for industrial rescue. If using steel is a concern, the CMC ProSeries Carabiners provide high strength in an aluminum carabiner.

SKED Stretcher System

Compact storage, ease of use, and flexibility in means of transport have made the SKED Stretcher popular with fire departments, rescue squads, the military, and ski patrols. Made from a heavy sheet of plastic, the stretcher becomes rigid when folded around your patient. A variety of handles and straps allows the stretcher to be transported by carrying, lifting (vertically or horizontally) by rope systems or helicopter, or towed with the stretcher sliding on the smooth bottom surface. Made in USA. SKED Basic Rescue System comes complete with the stretcher, Cordura nylon backpack/ towing harness, two straps, horizontal lift slings, vertical lift sling, one large steel carabiner, and four removable web handles. Storage bag is 36 inches long by 9 inches in diameter. System weight: 18 lbs. SKED Pediatric Rescue System is a down-sized version for children and small adults. Comes with the same accessories, but with a smaller storage bag. Item #752001 Item #752006 SKED Basic Rescue System, Orange SKED Basic Rescue System, Military Green $521.40 $551.10
SKED Stretcher Flotation System
HALF-SKED Patient Drag

Skedco developed the HALF-SKED for extricating patients from spaces too tight or restricted for other stretchers. We think the HALFSKED is ideal for tactical teams that need to secure and rapidly extricate an injured person. Skedco offers the HALF-SKED in military green as well as the traditional orange. The HALF-SKED allows rescuers to bend the patient at the hips in order to turn corners in caves or confined spaces. The HALF-SKED uses two-inch wide chest and leg straps with side-release buckles to package the patient quickly and securely, particularly valuable if the patient must be immediately evacuated from a high risk area. Made in USA. Weight: 6 lbs. Item #752008 HALF-SKED, Orange $163.90 $163.90
The flotation system for the SKED Stretcher maintains the patient in a nearly vertical position. It is designed so that a patient in the water can be loaded into the stretcher. Self-righting, it will keep the patients head above water even in rough seas. Fits both the full-size and pediatric SKED Stretchers.

WATER RECUE | user guide
Water Rescue User Guide

Water rescue operations include swiftwater, flood, surf, open ocean, and calm water rescues. Equipment selection is made based on both the level of training as well as the type of rescue. Dry Suits With the advent of breathable materials, dry suits are becoming more popular for water rescue. They can be worn over uniform clothing for quick response and allow a variety of adjustment for thermal layers. During flood rescues, they help isolate the rescuer from contaminated water. The durable OS Systems Breathable Dry Suit is the choice for the Swiftwater Rescue Technician. For the occasional user, the CMC ProTech Dry Suit is an economical option. Wet Suits Less bulky and smoother fitting than dry suits, a wet suit is a good choice for a rescue swimmer who does not need the level of environmental protection that a dry suit provides. Wet suits for rescue such as the NRS Rescue Wet Suit have added padding to protect the knees and shins and bright sleeves for increased visibility. Personal Flotation The Stearns Versatile VR PFD is a one size fits all design with the features needed by a rescue swimmer. The Americas Cup UltraFloat, Work Vest, and Work Vest with Pockets and the Stearns SAR Mesh PFD provide outstanding protection for shore-based responders. Head Protection Swiftwater rescue operations require head protection and the Cascade Swiftwater Helmet fits securely and comfortably while providing excellent protection. A well draining, high angle rescue helmet such as the Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet is acceptable for water operations and might be a good choice for shore-based personnel. Swim Fins Surf and swiftwater rescue require bursts of speed that a short stiff fin provides. The Shredder Rescue Fins are designed to fit over the footwear worn by water rescue personnel. River Knives It seems everybody is making a water rescue knife now. The key feature to look for is a quality blade with a grip that works with wet gloves. The McNett Saturna and the Deep See Big Squeeze both hold the knife securely in the sheath, but are quick to release when needed. Water Rescue Rope CMC Rescue NFPA Throwline is certified to the NFPA 1983 Standard for water rescue throwlines. The CMC ProSeries EZ-Stuff Throwline Bag stays open to make re-stuffing the throwline much less of a chore. The CMC SRT Throwline is an excellent choice for those that prefer a larger diameter throwline. From New England Ropes is the River Rescue Lifeline, a rescue system rope that floats. CMC Rescue Redi-Line is an economical throwline affordable enough to place in every patrol vehicle. Line Launchers For accurate deployment of a messenger line or an inflatable rescue sling, the ResQmax Launcher is an air-powered system which avoids the problems of pyrotechnic-based devices. The new ResQmax Streamline components make charging the line projectiles easier than ever.

CMC Rescue Cearley Rescue Strap US Divers Shredder SAR Swim Fins
Shredder Fins can be worn over water boots such as the US Divers AMPHIB.
A CMC Exclusive
Rick Cearley is a retired senior helicopter pilot for the Los Angeles County Fire Department and inventor of the LSP Cinch Rescue Collar. He saw the need for a product to rapidly secure a victim under difficult conditions, such as swimming rescues. Despite its simple appearance, this Cearley original design has features developed through years of field use by Los Angeles area firefighters and rescuers. Length: 5ft. 3 MBS: 8,036 lbf. (36 kN). Weight: 6 oz. Item #201104 $35.00
Designed for water rescue and SAR swimming, the Shredder SAR fins have the short fin shape for explosive thrust and exceptional maneuverability. With a large foot pocket and the adjustable heel strap, the Shredder can be worn over water boots such as the AMPHIB as well as booties. The patented, hydrodynamic split blade design provides a more efficient water flow for improved thrust while reducing ankle and leg fatigue.

srt harness | WATER RESCUE
121
CMC ProSeries SRT Harness

Designed in cooperation with a large Southern California fire departments aviation unit and USAR teams to meet their requirements for an ergonomic rescue swimmer harness, the ProSeries SRT Harness combines vertical lift capability while being worn underneath a PFD. Extensive field testing by Swiftwater Rescue Technicians, USAR Specialists, and lifeguards resulted in this unique harness design with the following features: Y-shape shoulder straps allow freedom of movement for swimming. Sternum extension tether positions a carabiner just where it is needed for quick, positive, dynamic hook ups. Unique wraparound chest strap provides additional support to help keep the harness from interfering with PFDs. Non-padded leg loops allow greater freedom of movement for kicking, but are comfortable during hoists or short-hauls. The harness includes a front waist D-Ring for rappels and a rear waist DRing for travel restraint inside a helicopter. The harness is manufactured using polyester web to minimize strength loss when wet and to allow for quicker drying. Stainless steel and vinyl coated hardware reduces corrosion from frequent exposure to water. Weight: 5 lbs.

throwlines: a safe choice
CMC Rescue NFPA Throwline

UL Classified to NFPA 1983 Throwline
Designed to meet the NFPA 1983 specification for water rescue throwlines, the CMC Rescue NFPA Throwline is an excellent handling, 8 mm rope. High strength fibers are combined with polypropylene to create a floating rope that meets the required strength specifications. The bright yellow color is highly visible. Available by the foot or 2,400 ft. spool. Diameter: 8 mm. 3 MBS: 2,923 lbf. (13 kN). Item #293387 $ .84/ft.
CMC Rescue SRT Throwline

The SRT Throwline was developed for swiftwater rescue technicians needing the versatility of a throwline with a larger diameter for a better grip. SRT Throwline is supple enough to fit into a compact throwbag, but has extra strength and is easy to grip when setting tension diagonals or boat lines. A combination of the polypropylene core and protective nylon sheath produces a strong, supple, highly visible river rescue rope. Available by the foot or 1,200 ft. spool. Weight: 3.9 lbs. per 100 ft. Dia: 3/8 in. (10 mm) MBS: 3,552 lbf. (15.8 kN). Item #292957 $.72/ft.
A throwline bag is the safest way to rescue a subject in fast-moving or still water. It also provides a downstream safety backup when rescuers must enter the water. We recommend 50-foot lengths for rafts and boats. River rescue personnel should use 50 or 75-foot lengths, which is about as far as a bag can be thrown. The 100-foot length is good when throwing from a bridge or high bank. Throwbags should be kept in patrol cars, ambulances, and other emergency response vehicles.
CMC Rescue Redi-Line Throwline

This very cost effective, polypropylene line is an excellent choice for shore-based responders. The red/white stripe is highly visible. A hollow-braid construction makes the line easy to handle and stuff into throwbags. With lifesafety equipment this affordable, you can afford to have a throwline in every patrol car, municipal truck, or fire apparatus. Available by the foot or 1,500 ft. spool. Diameter: 7/16 in. (11 mm). Weight: 2.3 lbs./100 ft. MBS: 2,380 lbf. (10 kN). Item #292763 $.43/ft.
nfpa 1983 (2006) throwline performance requirements

Minimum breaking strength of not less than 13 kN (2,923 lbf.) Minimum diameter of 7mm (19/64 in.) and a maximum diameter of 9.5mm (3/8 in.) After a 24 hour immersion in water, the entire length of the throwline must float to the surface within one minute.

ResQmax Streamline Systems

Rescue Solutions has engineered a major upgrade in the ResQmax Projectiles, making them easier to fill and more durable during use. The new filler hose assembly features a quick connect fitting for the projectile and the hose/air bottle connector. The hose/air bottle connector is available for SCBA, SCUBA, and DIN type fittings and connectors can be quickly changed with the quick connect fitting to the filler hose. The new nozzle assembly has a quick connect fitting that just snaps into the nozzle. The new nozzle protectors are glassfilled nylon and less likely to dent and easier to replace when needed. The systems opperate at 3,000 psi, which requires a high-pressure tank to fill the projectile.
The Streamline Projectiles may only be used with the Streamline filler hose assembly NOT with the original ResQmax assembly. For a conversion kit to upgrade your current system, see page 133.

LIGHTS & SIGNALING | headlamps
PRINCETON TEC TECHNOLOGY ULTRABRIGHT LED

The highest quality LED available from Nichia, the Ultrabright LED is bright and efficient. The smooth, white, wide-beam light emitted by Ultrabright LEDs is ideal for close-to mid-range tasks. Ultrabright LEDs are usually grouped together to offer a more powerful light source. Advances currently underway will continue to improve the efficiency and brightness of Ultrabright LEDs.
Princeton Tec Yukon HL

UL Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D
The recreation market is saturated with a wide variety of headlamps and we have tried many of them on night searches and rescues. The operative parameters are running time, brightness, light weight, and comfort; and you often make a trade off to get the most functional balance. The Princeton Tec Yukon HL uses an advanced technology 1-watt Lexion LED for bright, long distance illumination and an array of 3 high-output LEDs for close-in applications that provide exceptional running time and the perfect amount of light for map reading, looking in your pack, and walking. Brighter than many incandescent halogen and xenon bulb headlamps, the 1-watt Lexion LED offers the advantages of long running time, durability, and impact resistance. Useful light for the 1-watt LED is 44 hours and for the three 5-mm LEDs, 120 hours. Water-resistant. Runs on 3 AA batteries, included. Weight with batteries: 8 oz. (226g) Color: Gray Item #130515 $66.00
REGULATED LED/ CONSTANT BRIGHTNESS

Princeton Tec lights that feature regulated LEDs have a sophisticated regulating circuit that maintains initial brightness as long as the batteries have sufficient voltage. Traditional lights are very bright initially, but immediately begin to dim and continue to dim until the batteries are drained. Constant Brightness is a term used to describe products that have regulated LEDs.
CMC Rescue Corona

By Princeton Tec UL Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D*
An eight wide-angle, white LED array flood lamp, the Corona provides a wide area view, excellent for rescue operations where peripheral vision and area lighting is critical. Four lighting levels allow the light output to be adjusted for close in work or a range up to 121 ft. The CMC version of the Corona offers three mounting options: the standard elastic headband, a super sticky rubber headband that is great for water rescue, and a Velcro patch for a more permanent mount. The lamp unit tilts to put the light where you need it. Uses 3 AA batteries (included) and can use alkaline, lithium or NIMH batteries. Weight: 8 oz with batteries. Color: Yellow
Running Time with Alkaline batteries* (constant light output)
XENON INCANDESCENT BULB

Xenon bulbs use a special type of halogen gas. Xenon bulbs come closest to replicating the color temperature of daytime light. They also generate about twice the brightness and consume about half the power of traditional halogen bulbs.
8 LED array: 5 LED array: 3 LED array: 1 LED array:
30 hrs. high, 36+ hrs. low 38 hrs. high, 45+ hrs. low 46 hrs. high, 55+ hrs. low 55 hrs. high, 70+ hrs. low $55.00
Item #130806 *When using Duracell alkaline batteries.
CMC Rescue Quad

By Princeton Tec
Weighing less than four ounces, the Quad is a lightweight, compact, water resistant headlamp. The 4-LED array provides sufficient light for trail walking and close at hand tasks such as patient care, map reading, and system rigging. Its small size makes it a great back-up lamp or for when you didnt plan to get caught by the dark. Multiple light levels provide the right amount of brightness for the task. The regulated LEDs maintain constant brightness and the power meter provides continuous feedback on the condition of the batteries. The special CMC package offers the Quad with the standard elastic headband plus a rubber strap that really sticks to helmets and a Velcro patch that can eliminate a headband altogether. Runs on 3-AAAs which are included. Weight: 3.4 oz. (96g) Color: Black Item #130915 $33.00
QUAD AND LITHIUM BATTERIES

Weight conscious users will love the Quad's sophisticated circuitry that allows the use of lithium AAA batteries. They reduce the Quad's weight to 82 grams, perform in extremely cold temperatures, and significantly increase regulated burn times on all modes.
