Bullex Live Fire Intelligent Training System (ITS)
BullEx offers two live fire extinguisher training systems: the Intelligent Training System and I.T.S. Xtreme. Both systems detect where the user aims and sweeps the compressed air/ water SmartExtinguisher and automatically vary the flames in response. I.T.S. Xtreme adds the capability of using class A, B and C props to produce realistic flame patterns, further enhancing training scenarios.
How BullEx Live Fire Training Systems Work:
When the trainee squeezes the handle of the "smart" training extinguisher, a directional ultrasonic signal is emitted from the tip of the training extinguisher's nozzle. This signal is picked up by the four sensors on the front of the Intelligent Training System and I.T.S. Xtreme base units. The on-board microprocessor control system determines exactly where the user is aiming and sweeping. Variable electronic valves constantly adjust the amount of propane sent to the burners to simulate the fire's response to the extinguisher.
If the trainee aims at the base of the fire, and sweeps the training extinguisher properly, the flames gradually go out.
If the trainee does not sweep properly the flames will continue to grow.
If the trainee does not sweep all the way across the base of the fire, the flames will not go out. Only the areas of the fire that were hit with the training extinguisher will be extinguished.
When using props with I.T.S. Xtreme, trainees must first determine the class of fire and then aim and sweep the SmartExtinguisher at the prop with the correct technique to extinguish the flames.

The live-fire Intelligent Training System and I.T.S. Xtreme provide many advantages over the conventional burn pan and non-intelligent propane burners. Because there is no longer a need to discharge and recharge costly dry-chemical or CO2 extinguishers, BullEx live-fire extinguisher training systems are often more cost effective.
