Bauer Compressors Introduces New UNICUS 4i All-In-One High Pressure Breathing Air Systems

Tony Bayat, President, and Bill Dickson, Vice President of Sales for BAUER COMPRESSORS Inc. are pleased to announce that the BAUER Model UNICUS™ 4i made its debut at the FDIC International 2015 being held April 23-25, 2015 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The UNICUS 4i includes an all new integrated 12” HMI touch screen allowing operators to control the entire system from a central location with full visual interface of all system functions. By reducing operator error, this system allows for the best possible air in critical situations and the safest breathing air for first responders.

In addition to the multiple operator safety features currently on the unit, the UNICUS 4i is available with many features to assist in record keeping and air purity:

  • RFID Interface with SCBA data collection improves data logging and exceeds current NFPA 1989 requirements. This option automatically reads and records data from the RFID equipped SCBA cylinders including person, date, location, pressure of last fill along with the serial number and total number of fills.
  • Lab on Locale II™ facilitates real-time sampling of the compressed air and transmits the reading via internet uplink to an accredited third-party lab to satisfy quarterly air sample testing / reporting as prescribed by NFPA 1989.
  • BAUER GAS-TEK™ gas monitoring systems utilizes state-of-the-art gas sensor technology with real-time assessment of breathing air quality to assure safety by shutting off the compressor when preset limits of CO and other harmful gases are exceeded
