EPIC WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND VOICE AMPLIFIER
EPIC VOICE AMPLIFIER
Robust person-to-person communications is now
possible by the new EPIC Voice Amplifier, a
small-profile, simple-to-use voice projection
device that transmits strong, clear and
crisp voice communications to other
nearby respirator users.
Contained in a sleek, streamlined
package housing the stand-alone EPIC
Voice Amplifier permits hands-free
communications. Like the former Scott voice
amplifier that has served respirator users for nearly
10 years, the new EPIC Voice Amplifier provides a
dependable, easy-to-use means of voice communications with added
features such as auto shut-off and directional speaker.
Voice amplifier users may use hand-held two-way radios for remote
communications by simply holding the microphone speaker of the
radio against the free left side voicemitter when transmitting.

SCOTT EPIC ™ COMMUNICATIONS
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND VOICE AMPLIFIER
SCOTT EPIC ™
CONNECT. CONVERGE. COMMUNICATE.
EASY TO USE
EPIC WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
Effective communications is essential for today’s first responders, who in
emergency situations face life-threatening scenarios. Developed in response to
the needs voiced by firefighters and other emergency workers, the EPIC family of
communications products features the first truly wireless communications
solution for first responders wearing respiratory protection equipment.
Scott’s family of communications products includes two state-of-the-art products,
the EPIC Wireless Communications System for both remote and local
communications and the EPIC Voice Amplifier for strong, clear person-to-person
communications. When communication is critical, connect with EPIC.
Shared Added-Value Features Common to Both Systems:
Angled, wide-diameter speakers…EPIC’s voice amplifier/RI and the stand-alone
voice amplifier contain 40mm wide speakers angled to the front, so the user’s
voice is projected in the direction the user is facing.
Tactile/audible switches…Ease of operation is ensured because the user can easily
recognize activation when the on/off button is pressed. Even with gloved hands,
the user feels and hears a click when the button is pressed. When activated,
green LEDs illuminate on both the facepiece-mounted voice amplifier/RI and
stand-alone voice amplifier.
Low battery warning…LEDs flash once per second when a low battery condition –
approximately 10 percent of battery life remaining – has been detected.
Automatic shut-down…To conserve battery life, the EPIC Wireless System and
EPIC Voice Amplifier both feature an automatic shut-down function which
deactivates components approximately 20 minutes after last use. This is valuable
because users so often forget to turn off communications equipment when
doffing respiratory protection equipment. EPIC devices may be reactivated by
simply pressing their activation switches.
Sure-grip, textured housings…Constructed with a robust Radel polymer material,
EPIC communications devices have textured surfaces and pronounced ribbing
for secure handling, even with gloved hands. Large surface thumb latches ensure
easy access to facepiece-mounted units.
New Brackets for Maximum Performance
Communications brackets for EPIC systems are specially designed to ensure the
user’s voice is transmitted loudly and clearly. The new brackets are secured
around AV-3000™ and AV-2000® facepiece voicemitters and encapsulate the top
surfaces of the voicemitters to maximize sound pressure and minimize feedback.
To guarantee the best performance, EPIC systems may not be installed on
older Scott voicemitter brackets; existing Scott communications devices may
be used with new EPIC brackets. EPIC brackets for the AV-2000 and AV-3000
are available for the right side.
In addition to their superior voice transmission qualities, EPIC brackets are easier
and simpler to install onto the voicemitters. Each bracket features a two-piece
design to easily fit around and on top of voicemitter surfaces.
Dependable Remote & Local Communications
Powered by Disposable AAA Batteries
The ability to communicate to remote locations and locally has long been identified as a critical need
of first responders. The EPIC Wireless System accomplishes this by means of two individual
components joined by a robust Bluetooth® wireless technology-enabled link.
The EPIC system is powered by disposable AAA alkaline batteries.
The EPIC’s voice amplifier/radio interface (RI) is a facepiece-mounted device. The unit provides voice
amplification for effective person-to-person local communications. It also provides remote
communications using wireless technology that lets the unit interface with a personal-issue radio
through a communications console. A speaker, located near the user’s ear, ensures the reception of
clear, understandable incoming remote messages.
Battery power operates the system’s voice amplifier and its Bluetooth® wireless
technology-enabled link. Power to operate the system’s lapel mic function is drawn
from the battery of the user’s two-way radio. This provides an added measure of
safety. The user can still communicate remotely with the lapel microphone relying
on the radio’s power even if the EPIC components have no remaining battery life.
The system’s communications console houses a number of communications functions. These
include a conventional remote lapel microphone and speaker, the system’s Bluetooth® wireless
technology-enabled link, a press-to-talk (PTT) switch for sending remote outgoing transmissions
and a radio-specific connector. The console also contains an emergency alert mechanism that
mimics the functionality of the user’s two-way radio. Designed to give the user an added measure
of safety in emergency situations, the emergency signal is activated by pressing and momentarily
holding the button atop the console.

Choice of Attachment Clips
Since the system’s two components may be used independently or in tandem, the wireless system
simplifies moving rapidly from a non-tactical mode, when the user is wearing station duty clothing,
to full protective bunker gear and breathing apparatus.
The EPIC’s communications console is provided with a heavy-duty alligator/suspender
style attachment clip for securely fastening the device to a garment or heavy fabric
turnout gear. An optional clothespin style clip is available for user installation.

• Press the PTT to transmit over

Transitioning from non-tactical to tactical scenarios is easier than ever because of the wireless link
between the EPIC’s facepiece-mounted voice amplifier/RI and the communications console. This
wireless link eliminates cumbersome cabling and connectors when donning. And, the wireless link
minimizes the possibility of snagging.
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
The heart of EPIC’s wireless system is Bluetooth® wireless technology. A well-established digital communications standard,
Bluetooth is a technology designed to eliminate cables and allow electronic devices to communicate over a short-range radio
link. In the case of the EPIC, this wireless radio link extends from the voice amplifier/RI to the communications console.
Because of its unique fast frequency hopping characteristics, Bluetooth® wireless technology is able to avoid interference from
or to other electronic devices.

Simple Linking for as Long as Necessary
The wireless link between the voice amplifier/RI and communications console must be user activated
by momentarily touching together their keyed contacts. Linking wirelessly ties both components
together by assigning to them a unique electronic identifier. The wireless link remains active for as long
or short a time as required. The units need not be linked again after they are turned off and then
activated again. Linking a new pair of components takes just seconds.

EPIC WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND VOICE AMPLIFIER
EPIC VOICE AMPLIFIER
Robust person-to-person communications is now
possible by the new EPIC Voice Amplifier, a
small-profile, simple-to-use voice projection
device that transmits strong, clear and
crisp voice communications to other
nearby respirator users.
Contained in a sleek, streamlined
package housing the stand-alone EPIC
Voice Amplifier permits hands-free
communications. Like the former Scott voice
amplifier that has served respirator users for nearly
10 years, the new EPIC Voice Amplifier provides a
dependable, easy-to-use means of voice communications with added
features such as auto shut-off and directional speaker.
Voice amplifier users may use hand-held two-way radios for remote
communications by simply holding the microphone speaker of the
radio against the free left side voicemitter when transmitting.
