Designed to fulfil the surging demand for training initiatives focused on water rescues and the integration of thermal imaging technology, the Thermal Hood with 6amp Battery stands as the optimal choice. Tailored with precision to be compatible with all adult Ruth Lee water rescue training manikins.

The key features of the Thermal Hood are:

• Provides users with the capability to upgrade their current Ruth Lee Water Rescue manikin, transforming it into a unit with thermal imaging functionality.
• The hood is crafted to provide a secure fit over the head of the manikin and is fastened firmly with a popper mechanism. This guarantees its stability even in the most challenging water environments.
• Subjected to comprehensive testing in collaboration with Bristow SAR and multiple SAR operators based in the United Kingdom, using Thermal Imaging Cameras, at altitudes reaching up to 2000ft.
• Manufactures using durable, woven material with a measured degree of flexibility, facilitating rapid and even distribution of heat throughout the garment.
• The hood is actively heated through a 6amp battery, secured to the manikin’s torso via a purpose-designed holster.
• Expected lifespan of the 6amp battery is approximately 4 hours, subject to variants in the water’s ambient temperature.
• Integral components equipped with the battery include a watertight e-cord connector, a piezo switch, and an over-pressure valve.

The Thermal Hood serves as the optimal enhancement for Ruth Lee training manikins. The use of thermal imaging, including from aerial platforms such as helicopters and drones, emerges as the straightforward and easy alternative, particularly when conducting extensive search operations in large areas of open water. It is an invaluable resource for emergency personnel, such as Fire and Rescue services, Police Departments, and Armed/Military forces.
