IDEX Fire & Safety has announced the launch of the SAM Smart Nozzle 2.0, calling it “the next generation of firefighting technology designed to empower fire service personnel with enhanced safety, power and control.”
The SAM Smart Nozzle technology was developed to give crews greater control over the fireground, enabling faster and more effective water delivery.
With the Smart Nozzle 2.0, firefighters can focus on tackling the blaze rather than managing equipment.
Features of the Smart Nozzle 2.0 include:
- Improved power source: The updated design utilizes a single, long-lasting battery, providing superior performance during critical operations.
- Increased control: The smaller design enhances agility for nozzle operators, making it easier to maneuver in challenging environments.
- Water supply insight: Operators can monitor water supply levels and sources right from the nozzle dashboard, enabling confident decision-making during attacks.
- Self-rescue functionality: In emergency scenarios, a ring of light can be activated to help a firefighter find their hose line quickly, facilitating a safer exit if necessary.
- Friction loss monitoring: The Smart Nozzle actively monitors pressure to detect potential issues like kinks in the hose or elevation changes, helping maintain optimal performance.
The SAM Smart Nozzle 2.0 not only streamlines training among operators but also enhances overall response capabilities, making it an essential tool in combating faster and hotter fires.
