Abstract

A monitoring system for monitoring wearers of respiratory equipment and a mobile part and to a base station for use in such a system. To reduce the risks for wearers of respiratory equipment, system data are continuously transmitted to a base station by a mobile part which is attached to a compressed-air breathing apparatus and which has a radio transmitter. Alarm and warning signals are visually and/or audibly communicated both to the wearer of the respiratory equipment and to a monitoring person as a function of the system data.
