DESCRIPTION
This kit supplies the parts required to install the ICM Tx
and TxR Units on MMR SCBA from MSA. You can install
this kit if the SCBA is an MMR. For a full description of
the ICM Tx and TxR Units, please refer to the ICM Tx and
TxR Units and Nightfighter Heads-Up Display User’s
Instructions, P/N 10058881(P/N 10068930 for ICM TxR
Unit)
The ICM Tx and TxR Units functions as a PASS Device,
pressure gauge, and as the transmitter for the
NightFighter Heads-Up Display System.
An SCBA cannot be upgraded until the following
inspection and all required changes have been com-
pleted. Failure to follow this warning can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
NFPA-1500:1997 COMPLIANCE INSPECTION
Inspect the entire SCBA after it is cleaned and sanitized.
NFPA-1500, as well as ANSI Standards Z88.2 and Z88.5,
describe three levels of inspection procedures which are
to be performed. Refer to these documents, or to an
inspection program prepared by a health professional in
establishing an inspection program.
Do not inspect the apparatus before cleaning if there
is danger of contacting hazardous contaminants.
Clean and disinfect first, then inspect. Failure to follow
this warning can cause inhalation or skin absorption
of the contaminant and result in serious personal
injury or death.
Prior to installation of the ICM Tx or TxR Units, the SCBA
must be upgraded to be compliant with the 2002 edition
of the NFPA-1981 standard. This standard requires the
use of the NightFighter Heads-Up-Display receiver with
either the NightFighter Transmitter or the ICM Tx or TxR
Units. The components must be in good working order,
free of damage and significant wear. (See SCBA
Inspection Instructions). This standard requires the SCBA
to have a URC fitting located within 4 inches of the cylin-
der valve.
KIT CONTENTS
This kit contains:
• ICM Tx or TxR Units
• Replacement O-ring — P/N 638167
• Replacement back-up ring — P/N 635277
•Four AA batteries (installed)
•Tether — P/N 10016029
REQUIRED TOOLS
• 5/8” wrenches (2)
• 9/16” wrench
• O-ring removal tool (MSA Special Tool, P/N 636060)
• Inch-pound torque wrench (must be capable of mea-
suring the specified torques)
• 5/8” Crowsfoot
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Christo-Lube Lubricant (P/N 604070)
Only MSA-Certified Technicians are authorized to
install the ICM Kit. Failure to follow this warning can
result in serious personal injury or death.
INSTALLATION
If the MMR has the shoulder mounted quick-fill option, do
not use the quick-fill adapter or Nightfighter Transmitter with
the ICM Tx or TxR Units. To retain the shoulder mounted
quick-fill option, order the replacement adapter kit (P/N
10020515).
Close the cylinder valve fully and release all pressure
from the system. Open the bypass valve to release any
trapped air. Removing the pressure gauge with the
system pressurized can result in serious personal
injury or death.
MMR SCBA
1. Using the 5/8” and 9/16” wrenches, loosen and
remove the pressure gauge, redundant alarm, ICM
2000, Nightfighter Transmitter, or any thread adapters
from the pressure gauge hose.
2. Using the O-ring removal tool, remove the O-ring and
back-up ring from the end of the hose.
3. Apply a thin film of Christo-Lube Lubricant to the O-
ring and back-up ring from the kit, then install the
back-up ring and then O-ring on the hose fitting.
4. Make sure that the protective guard or boot is
installed around the ICM Tx or TxR Units.

5. Unthread the right adjusting strap from the right shoul-
der strap buckle.
Note: All procedures are performed with the MSA logo on
the tether facing out and the large “D” hole at the bottom.
6. Insert the right shoulder strap buckle through the “D”
hole of the tether.
7. Insert the gauge line hose through the small tether
hole, under the MSA logo on the tether.
Note: The MSA logo must show.
8. Rethread the adjusting strap through the right shoul-
der strap buckle.
9. Insert the hose fitting into the ICM Tx or TxR Units
until it is hand-tight, then back off 1/4 turn. Using the
crowsfoot on the inch-pound torque wrench, tighten
the ICM jam nut on the hose fitting to 175-200 in. lbs.
Note: Make sure the ICM Tx or TxR Units and hose end
can swivel after tightening.
LEAK TESTING
Checking for leaks and proper operation
1. Follow the User’s Instructions supplied with the Air
Mask to connect the Audi-Larm to a fully-charged
cylinder.
2. Check that the MMR bypass is closed and the shut-
off button is IN.
Do not try to connect a high-pressure (4500 psig)
cylinder to a low-pressure apparatus. Even though the
coupling nut will not thread all the way on the cylinder
valve, and bleed holes in the cylinder valve will let the
air escape and not enter the system, this is a danger-
ous condition. Failure to follow this warning can result
in serious personal injury or death.
3. Open the cylinder valve fully. The ICM Tx or TxR Units
display should indicate the pressure in the cylinder.
4. Close the cylinder valve and watch the display on the
ICM Tx or TxR Units. There should be no drop pres-
sure if the apparatus is leak tight. If the display shows
a change in pressure, check the fitting connections for
leaks using leak detection solution, following the Leak
Test Procedures in the SCBA Maintenance Manual.
Correct any leaks before proceeding.
5. Be sure the cylinder valve is fully closed.
6. Open the bypass valve to relieve all pressure from the
system.
7. After all pressure is relieved from the system, close the
bypass valve completely.
8. The air mask is now ready for service.
TESTING AND USING THE INTEGRATED CONTROL
MODULE
1. To test the ICM Tx or TxR Units, press and hold the
alarm button. The full PASS alarm should sound.
a. Reset the alarm by pushing the side (reset) button
twice.
b.Turn the unit off by pressing the side (reset) button
twice more.
2. Before placing this device into service, the entire
SCBA must be tested according to the ICM Tx or TxR
Units and Nightfighter Heads-Up Display User’s
Instructions.
If the low-battery alarm sounds (one beep every 5 sec-
onds), replace the batteries immediately. Use only bat-
tery type Duracell MN1500 or Energizer E91 AA bat-
tery. Use of other batteries will void the intrinsic safety
approval. A low-battery condition could cause the
alarm to fail in use, resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
Testing the ICM Tx or TxR Units and Nightfighter
Receiver Functionality
Note: To conduct this test the cylinder must be full.
1. Close the bypass valve fully and open the cylinder
valve.
2. Look through the facepiece lens at the LED panel. The
LEDs should illuminate through the start-up sequence

as the SCBA is pressurized. The start-up sequence
follows:
a. One Red LED ON/OFF
b.One Orange LED ON/OFF
c. One Yellow LED ON/OFF
d.Four Green LEDs ON/OFF
e. Three Green LEDs ON/OFF
f. Two Yellow LEDs ON/OFF
g. One Red LED ON/OFF
3. Verify that the green light on the ICM Tx or TxR Units
are slowly flashing.
4. Close the cylinder valve fully.
5. Crack the bypass valve slowly to bleed off pressure
until the ICM Tx or TxR Units pressure matches the
following setpoints. Stop at each setpoint pressure to
verify the correct receiver display.
a. 4500 psi cylinders
4500psi – 4 green LEDs
3375psi – 3 green LEDs
2250psi – 2 amber flashing LEDs
1125psi – 1 red flashing LED
b.3000 psi cylinders
3000psi – 4 green LEDs
2250psi – 3 green LEDs
1500psi – 2 amber flashing LEDs
750psi – 1 red flashing LED
c. 2216 psi cylinders
2216psi – 4 green LEDs
1662psi – 3 green LEDs
1108psi – 2 amber flashing LEDs
530psi – 1 red flashing LED
6. If the ICM Tx or TxR Units and Nightfighter Receiver
pass the functional check, complete all remaining
SCBA donning steps in the SCBA user’s instructions
manual.
7. When the pressure falls below 200psig, turn the alarm
off (sleep mode) by pressing the reset button two
times in rapid succession.
