Fire Helmet Lighting System

Use and Operation

The Bullard TrakLite is the first integrated helmet light available for American-

style fire helmets. The TrakLite illuminates dark, low visibility areas via eight

bright LED lights mounted to the front of the helmet and includes a blue

LED indicator light mounted on the rear of the helmet for crew tracking and

accountability. The integration of the TrakLite into Bullard fire helmets enables

straightforward operation and maintenance. The TrakLite is compatible with

Bullard UST6, FX, PX and LT Series structural fire fighting helmets.

Use and Operation

Powering the TrakLite

THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A,

B, C, D OR NON-HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ONLY.
The oversized power switch on the TrakLite is designed for easy operation

with a large gloved hand (Figure 1). The rotary switch operates simply with a

quarter turn and stops at the ON and OFF positions, enabling easy operation

while wearing the helmet. To power on the TrakLite, turn the switch clockwise

until the indicator is pointed to the ON position. To power off the unit, turn the

switch counterclockwise so that the indicator is pointed to the OFF position.

When powered on, both the front and rear lights will illuminate and will
continue to illuminate until powered off.

Battery Installation and Replacement

The Bullard TrakLite is operated by four (4) replaceable AAA alkaline batteries

(included). The battery housing is located under the helmet brim at the

rear of the helmet. Prior to opening the battery housing lid, wipe down the

helmet and battery housing to make sure no debris falls into the battery

compartment.
To install or replace the batteries, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove

the two screws securing the battery housing lid to the battery housing (Figure

2) and remove the battery housing lid. Install the batteries according to the

polarity (+ and – indicators) in the battery housing. When finished, replace

the battery housing lid and securely fasten using the screw.

Care Instructions

After each use or as needed, clean the light housing, glass windows, and

battery housing with mild soap and detergent ensuring that the battery
compartment remains dry and clean.
