Investing in one or more thermal imaging cameras is one of the most important safety decisions your fire department will make. MSA offers two options to fit fire departments’ TIC needs: the G1™ SCBA iTIC, and the LUNAR® Connected Device.
G1 SCBA iTIC
The iTIC is compatible with all G1 SCBA through a simple upgrade, or you can purchase your new G1 SCBA with iTIC already installed – so you can furnish every firefighter on a crew with TIC functionality. It is powered by the G1 SCBA’s single integrated power source, offers up to five user-selectable palettes, and features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) 220 x 176 display. The iTIC is integrated into the G1 SCBA Control Module, placing TIC technology in the hands of every firefighter on scene. The iTIC (as part of the G1 SCBA) is NFPA 1981 and NFPA 1982 (2018 Edition) compliant.

LUNAR Connected Device
Taking TIC technology a step further is the LUNAR device, which combines connectivity, personal thermal imaging, and search and rescue technology. When you think of LUNAR Connected Device, think of being connected, protected, and having a tool to aid in confident decision making. The LUNAR device is a handheld, wireless, search and rescue device that can be used on or off air, equipping every firefighter on-scene with thermal imaging capabilities. With LUNAR Connected Device, thermal imaging has the additional exclusive benefit of edge detection, which allows you to identify objects, access points, and even people more clearly with a bright green highlight. It features a 3.5 inch (diagonal) screen, 320 x 480 resolution, and 206 x 156 (32,136 pixels) thermal image resolution.
The LUNAR device is part of the MSA Connected Firefighter Platform of products, which also includes the G1 SCBA, HUB, and FireGrid™ software. Its ad-hoc LUNAR-to-LUNAR network enables connection between LUNAR devices, and its Bluetooth pairing with the G1 SCBA provides air status, alarm information, and more. Using LTE, LUNAR also connects to the FireGrid suite of software applications, which allows for local monitoring, post-scene reporting, and inventory management. With LUNAR Connected Device, you are not only providing a TIC to every firefighter on scene, but you are also connecting your crews to each other, to Incident Command and remote personnel.
