Creating a G1 SCBA Configuration Tag (for Bluetooth Pair Save Preferences)

The purpose of this section is to: (1) enable the Bluetooth radio on the G1 SCBA and

(2) to set Bluetooth Pair Save behavior based on the department’s preference.

Step 1.

Launch the MSA A2 Software.

Step 2.

Select the “G1 Tags” Tile on the A2 Dashboard (Under the “G1 Devices”

column).

Step 3.

Select tag type: “G1 Configurations”

Step 4.

Select the Add (+) icon (top-right hand side of A2 application) to create the

configuration template,

which will be used to change these 2 settings.

Note:

Tag can be written without saving the template, but the template can be saved for

future use if given a name:

The Save Icon (top-right) is enabled

when the Name is filled in.

Step 5.

Enabling the G1 SCBA’s Bluetooth Radio:

(A) Expand the “Bluetooth Settings” section.

(B) Change “Bluetooth Disabled/Enabled” setting to “Enabled”.

Step 6.

Preference Choice:

“Bluetooth Pair Save” setting options:

(

Generally, a department’s operating procedures will determine its preference)

(A) To apply a Radio Pairing Tag every time SCBA is turned on, choose “Disabled”

(B) To retain the Radio Pairing on the SCBA until it’s cleared *, choose “Enabled”

- See “Clearing Radio Pairing Info from the G1 SCBA” page.

Step 7.

Writing the G1 Configuration Tag:

(A) Place RFID Tag on the RFID Reader / Writer

(B) Select the Write G1 Tag icon (top-right hand side of A2 application)

Step 8.

Applying

the G1 Configuration Tag to the G1 SCBA(s):

(A) Power on the G1 SCBA

(B) Press & hold either of the green Control Module buttons to activate

the RFID mode.

For iTIC Control modules: Press & Hold Both Green Buttons.

The G1 SCBA is now configured with the settings:

- G1 Bluetooth is now enabled - G1 Bluetooth Pair Save (as chosen).

The G1 SCBA is now ready to accept a Radio Pairing tag.

Repeat this “Step 8” for each SCBA to apply these 2 settings.

Creating a BKR 5000 Radio Pairing Tag

To pair the radio to the G1 SCBA, a “Bluetooth Audio Pairing Tag” needs created in the A2 Software.

Once the Pairing Tag is created, it can be applied to the SCBA, which “programs” the SCBA to connect

to that specific radio.

Step 1.

Launch the MSA A2 Software

Step 2.

Select the “G1 Tags” Tile on the A2 Dashboard (Under the “G1 Devices”

column)

Step 3.

Select tag type: “Bluetooth Audio Pairing Tags”

Step 4.

Ensure that your PC's Bluetooth adapter is on, and selected for use in A2,

and

that your RFID Reader/Writer is connected and ready.

•Both modules appear in lower left of A2 display. Generally they will

appear as the computer's name, or as "localhost".

•If either is not visible there or under "Select Other device":

disconnect and reconnect the hardware;

•Restart the A2 service if necessary.

Step 5.

Turn on the BKR5000 Radio using the volume knob.

Step 6.

Ensure Bluetooth is “ON”: A white Bluetooth icon will appear with no slash

“/” and no connection dots “…”.

If not

visible, enable the radio’s Bluetooth OR reconfigure radio.

Step 7.

Discovering the Radio in A2:

(A) Click “Discover Devices”

You may have to scan twice if the Friendly name doesn’t appear.

(B) Select the tile for the discovered Radio in A2 to select it.

The discovered device info will load on the screen.

Step 8.

Writing the Bluetooth Audio Pairing Tag:

(A) Place RFID Tag on the RFID Reader / Writer

(B) Select the Write G1 Tag icon

(top-right hand side of A2 application)

Note: Hovering over the icons will

also show “Write Tag” or “Read Tag”.

Step 9.

Verifying the Information Written to the Tag:

(A) Place RFID Tag on the RFID Reader / Writer

(B) Select the Read G1 Tag icon

(top-right hand side of A2 application)

(D) Confirm the tag’s Bluetooth Address matches the Radio.

The Radio Pairing tag is now created & can be used to pair this radio with a

G1 SCBA.

Rev. 12-3-2021 Page 6of 10

Pairing a G1 SCBA and BKR 5000 Radio

Ensure the BKR 5000 Radio is programmed correctly to connect with the G1 SCBA. Necessary and recommended settings

are listed in the “BKR 5000 Configuration Settings” page. Consult with your Radio Technician.

Step 1.

Turn on the

BKR 5000 Radio using the volume knob.

Step 2.

Ensure

Bluetooth is “ON”: A white Bluetooth icon will appear with no slash

“/” and no connection dots “…”.

If not

visible, enable the radio’s Bluetooth OR reconfigure radio.

Step 3.

Power on the G1 SCBA.

Step 4.

Press & hold

either of the green Control Module buttons to activate the RFID

mode.

For iTic Control modules: Press & Hold Both Green Buttons.

Step 5.

Registe

r the Radio to the SCBA:Place the Radio Pairing Tag over the G1

Power Module

RFID Target.

After the pairing tag is successfully read

, the SCBA should chirp, and the BT

will disconnect.

The G1 SCBA &

BKR 5000 Radio is now paired and ready for use.

•

After a successful pairing, if the regulator is shut off, the G1 SCBA will not remain

connected to the radio, and the radio is available for non-Bluetooth use.

•

The G1 SCBA will automatically re-connect to the radio when the end user turns on

the G1 regulator & breathes.

If you encouter difficulty pairing the radio:

•Clear the pair information stored on the radio, as described in the “Clearing SCBA Pairing Info from the BKR 5000

Radio” section in the pages hereafter.

•For good measure clear the pairing information on the SCBA, as described in the “Clearing Radio Pair Info from

the G1 SCBA” section in the pages hereafter.

•Repeat the “Pairing a G1 SCBA and BKR 5000 Radio” procedure above.

Pairing G1 &

Radio

G1 SCBA Radio Pairing Guide | BK Technologies

Rev. 12-3-2021 Page 7of 10

Using the G1 SCBA and BKR 5000 Radio

Confirm that the G1 SCBA, and Radio, are paired together: Radio Tag has been applied (or applied previously and pair is saved)

Step 1.

Turn on the BKR 5000 Radio using volume knob.

Step 2.

Don the G1 SCBA and G1 Facepiece.

Step 3.

Turn on the G1 SCBA via pressurization.

•

The G1 SCBA will try to establish a Bluetooth connection to the currently

paired radio for up to 8 minutes.

•

When found, it will quickly connect and disconnect, (and is now ready to

automatically activate when breathing.)

If the connection is not established, the pairing process described in the

previous section should be repeated.

Step 4.

Begin breathing (with the regulator attached) and the radio and SCBA will

connect automatically (approx. 20 seconds).

All SCBA voice communication will now go from the SCBA through the portable radio.

Use Notes & Tips:

•Turn on the radio prior to the G1 SCBA.

•If the regulator is shut off, the G1 SCBA will not remain connected to the radio, and the radio is available for

non-Bluetooth use. The G1 SCBA will automatically re-connect to the radio when breathing on the G1 regulator.

•Verify both the incoming and outgoing audio functionality after the Bluetooth wireless connection is established.

Using Paired

G1 & Radio

G1 SCBA Radio Pairing Guide | BK Technologies

Rev. 12-3-2021 Page 8of 10

Best practice is to: Clear the pairing information from both devices—the radio & the G1 SCBA. This prevents the G1 SCBA from

connecting to a previously-paired Bluetooth radio during the next start-up.

Clearing Radio Pair Info from the G1 SCBA

There are 3 methods for removing stored Radio pairing information from the G1 SCBA.

•All three methods are effective on G1 SCBAs configured with “Bluetooth Pair Save” being “Disabled”

•The “Battery Removal Method” is a popular method, however, note that this method is NOT effective when the G1 SCBA is

configured with the “Bluetooth Pair Save” setting set to “Enabled”.

G1 Pairing Removal Method 1 – Battery Removal (Only effective when the G1 “Bluetooth Pair Save” setting is “Disabled”)

Step 1.

Remove G1 SCBA Battery

Bluetooth audio pair info is cleared from the G1 SCBA.



“Clearing SCBA Pairing Info from the BKR 5000” section, hereafter.

G1 Pairing Removal Method 2 – Pair New Radio

Step 1.

Pair a different Bluetooth

BKR 5000 Radio with the G1 SCBA using the new radio’s Bluetooth Audio Pairing

Tag, as described in the “

Pairing a G1 SCBA and BKR 5000 Radio” section.

Bluetooth audio

pair info on the G1 SCBA is changed to the pair info for the new radio.



“Clearing SCBA Pairing Info from the BKR 5000 Radio” section, hereafter.

G1 Pairing Removal Method 3 – Use a “Reset Bluetooth Pairing” Tag

If not yet created, create a

“Reset Bluetooth Pairing” Tag in the A2 software, under “G1 Tags” tile



“Special G1 Tags”



expand “Reset Tags” list



Select “Reset Bluetooth Pairing”

Step 1.

Press & hold

either of the green Control Module buttons to access the RFID mode display.

Step 2.

Place the “Reset Bluetooth Pairing” Tag over the G1 Power Module RFID Target.

Bluetooth audio pair info is cleared from the G1 SCBA.


