After over 20 years and over
800,000 headsets fielded globally, the
3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™/ SwatTac platform
remains the trusted solution for tactical
operations worldwide.
The improved ComTac V / SwatTac V
features updates to ensure that the
ComTac remains the reliable, rugged
solution you have counted on for years.
Introducing
the ComTac™ V
Product Highlights
• Updates and upgrades over the previous
ComTac III series to improve overall
performance

What’s new?
New Speakers and
Environmental
Microphones
ComTac V has new
omni-directional
microphones and
high fidelity speakers
that are optimized for
clear and accurate
sound replication.
The result is a more
natural sounding
headset with
unmatched sound
clarity.
New Boom Microphone
The new boom mic greatly
improves audio transmissions
in various noise conditions.
It provides 18dB of noise
cancellation vs the 6dB provided
by the previous microphone—
measured at 10mm distance,
normalized for 0db at 1khz.
100% Backwards
Compatible
The ComTac V utilizes
a 4 pin U-174 plug and
will connect directly into
your existing PELTOR
push-to-talk radio adapters.
Increased EMI/RF Shielding
New shielding within the cables
and around the circuitry help
significantly reduce the effects
of radio frequency (RF) and
electromagnetic interference
(EMI) caused by newer, more
sophisticated radios.
New Headband
A new, modern rubberized
headband that’s easy to
remove if the user wants to
convert to ARC adapters (or
convert back to a headband).
It features increased
environmental resistance in
maritime environments.
3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ / SwatTac V
The new features go on and on.
Updated Software
3M has updated the software to allow users to more easily access the audio
customization features the ComTac platform offers, such as:
New!
3M™ PELTOR™ FL4000 Series
Push-To-Talk Radio Adapter
• New, low-profile radio adapter designed with
tactical operators in mind
• Swivel, MOLLE clip
• Connection to Military 6-Pin Radio or Motorola
APX Series Radios
• PTTs are designed to fit the size and shape of
either hand
• PTTs can be used with a gloved hand
• Headset Connection serves as a break-away
connector for removal in emergency situations
• Tested for cross-talk in DUAL COMM
Configuration
Earplug Mode
In applications where double hearing
protection is required, the volume boost
function, or ear-plug mode, increases the
volume of ambient sound and the external
input by about 6dB. It is intended to be used
when a properly fitted ear-plug is used under
the headset.
Release Time
The release time setting adjusts the time
before the limiter opens after activation. The
default setting is best for combat operations
and the extended delays are often more
suitable for indoor firearms training.
Balance Mode
Adjusts the environmental listening function volume
balance between the left and right speaker, giving
the operator the ability to prioritize audio or adjust
to their own personal preference.
Equalizer Function
The equalizer function adjusts the preset frequency
response setting for environmental sounds. This is
helpful in operations where steady-state noise is
present (i.e. ground vehicle and airborne platforms).
For example, this function helps improve the signal-
to-noise ratio within the earcup—by reducing the
effect of low frequency noise—when that frequency
response is selected.

Hearing Protection
Noise Reduction Ratings (NRR) 20-23db
• Tested in accordance to ANSI S3.19-1974—the current
testing requirement for hearing protective device labeling
According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
regulations (in the United States) and CSA (In Canada).
• NRRs will vary dependent on band and ear cushion
• NRRs for each combination provided upon request
• Impulse Noise Protection tested to 168dB Peak SPL in
accordance with ANSI S12.42-2010
Electro Magnetic Interference: Tested in accordance to MIL STD 461E/F
Department of Defense Interface Standard, Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference
Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment – CS114, RE101, RE-102-4, RS101 and RS103 requirements.
3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ Tactical Communication headsets meet the single hearing protection
requirement listed in DA PAM 40-501 Army Hearing Conservation Program 2015 for both
steady-state and impulse noise
3M PSD products are for occupational use only. U.S. EPA specifies the NRR as the measure of hearing protector noise reduction. However, 3M
makes no warranties as to the suitability of the NRR for this purpose. 3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing protectors. Research
suggests that users may receive less noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting
skill, and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations or guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. It is recommended that the
NRR be reduced by 50% to better estimate typical protection. Always read and follow user instructions.

Helmet Integration

Removed Pressure Points from Headband
Helps reduce potential hot spots or
pressure points.
Easy Donning/Doffing
In the “open” position, the operator can
easily put on and take off the helmet/
headset, and adjust for proper fit.
Heat Relief
The ability to have an “open”
position of the headset allows the user
to ventilate in high-heat environments
and still monitor communications in
low-noise environments.
Attachment Location
Allows for even distribution of ear muff
compression for optimized hearing
protection and reduces the chance
of accidental opening during free fall
operations.
Stability & Balance
In the “closed” position, the ear cups will
compress against the head providing
additional stability for full head movement.
Transition Band
Allows the end user to convert their rail
mounted system back to a head band.
Eye Protection
Gel Ear Cushions
The gel ear cushions are excellent for long-term
wear and use with eye protection to help alleviate
potential pressure points. When comfort is
paramount, gel ear cushions are a great option for
our headsets, and they come standard in our kits.
3M™ SecureFit™ Protective Eyewear
600 Tactical Series
SecureFit eyewear features a Pressure Diffusion
Temple to help them remain securely in place as
the wearer looks up and down or side to side. It’s
comfortable, high-performance eyewear that can
be used with over-the-ear hearing protectors.

Integrated Respiratory & Communications
Communications Interface and Cables
The 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ V has a secondary
microphone port on the back of the headset, on
the opposite ear cup. This allows connection to
oxygen systems (HAHO/HALO operations) and
the 3M™ Scott™ First Responder Respirator (FRR).
When used with the FRR, the operator does not
need to remove the boom, but simply move the
boom out of the way and plug the respirator
microphone cable into the back of the headset.
3M also offers a communication cable for the Joint
Service General Purpose Mask. The “Y” cable
allows the operator to plug the headset into their
PTT and also provides a mic line that connects to
the respirator’s internal mask microphone.

Communications Interface
Single and Dual COMM configurations are available for streamlined cable management.
In Dual COMM configurations, the downleads separate left and right audio traffic.
Each downlead terminates in a standard U/174
NATO wired “Quick Disconnect” plug.
3M offers configurations of its PTTs for
most Motorola radios as well as a 6-pin
MIL-C-55166, which will interface to the
vast majority of industry radios (i.e. AN/
PRC-148 MBITR, PRC-152 Falcon).
The U/174 4-Pin Plug is a standard
military aviation plug and will plug
directly into most military aviation
intercom systems.
