Product Overview
MSA ClearCommand 10030980 Lapel Microphone, Unused NOS with the MSA Carton Shown
Condition
Unused, New Old Stock. This is one serialized unit, sold exactly as photographed, and it comes with the plain white MSA carton shown in the first photo, labeled "ClearCommand Lapel Mic P/N 10030980". The molded black housing is clean in the photos, with the MSA name and the MSA swirl cast into the case and ribbed speaker grille, and no cracks, paint transfer, or grime visible on the shell. The back label reads S/N 10000579, P/N 10030980, Model No. 7-1714-1, Control Drawing No. 10000011234, and carries an ETL listing mark. The black-finished spring clip sits flat and unbent on its screwed-down bare metal mounting plate, with a few fine scratches visible across the face of the clip. The coiled cable has its molded strain reliefs intact at both ends, and the mating face of the connector shows clean gold contact pins; a few fine surface marks and a bit of lint sit on that connector plate, consistent with factory handling. No PTT switch is included. No audio or electrical test has been performed here.

Product Overview
The MSA 10030980 is the lapel microphone side of the MSA ClearCommand communications system, the accessory that moves a speaker and microphone out to a firefighter's chest instead of leaving the voice buried behind an SCBA facepiece. It is molded in a heavy black polymer shell with a ribbed speaker grille, a small port above the grille, a large round rubber-faced element below it, and a side lever on the left edge of the case; a black-finished metal spring clip mounts to a screwed-down plate on the back for lapel or harness placement. A coiled black cable runs from the base to an inline connector module marked LOCK with a captive slotted screw, so the plug clamps down rather than depending on friction, and the mating face carries a gold pin contact array alongside a center coaxial style receptacle. The back label identifies this unit as Model No. 7-1714-1, Control Drawing No. 10000011234, serial 10000579, with the intrinsic safety and agency text quoted in the FAQ below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly comes with it?
The microphone with its integrated spring clip, the coiled cable, the inline LOCK connector module, and the white MSA carton pictured. There is no PTT switch, no radio adapter, no facepiece, and no manual. If it is not in one of the seven photos, it is not in the package.
Has this microphone been tested?
No. We do not have a ClearCommand amplifier on the bench to key it up, so nothing is claimed about audio output, sensitivity, or continuity. What we can tell you is that it is unused New Old Stock, it ships with the MSA carton shown, and the photos document the housing, the label, and the connector contacts in detail.
Will it plug into my radio or amplifier?
Not confirmed. ClearCommand accessories mate through a specific connector, and the one you get is the one photographed: a gold pin contact array with a center coaxial style receptacle and a slotted locking screw. Compare it against your amplifier or radio interface and the MSA documentation for your system before you order.
What do the markings on the back label mean?
The label carries the ETL listing mark and reads, in part, that the unit is intrinsically safe per CL. I, II, III, GPA-G, conforms to ANSI/UL Std. 913, and is certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 157-92, and that it was not evaluated as an ignition source in flammable or explosive atmospheres by MSHA/NIOSH. It also directs the user to the manual for additional information. We are quoting the label, not interpreting it; your safety officer should read it against your own approval requirements.
I am buying a comms part with no test report. What am I actually taking on?
Function, and that is the honest answer. The physical side is documented as thoroughly as we know how: seven photographs of this one serialized unit, both the carton label and the unit label, the connector contacts up close, and the cable end to end. The photos are the spec, and if what lands in your mailbox does not match them, we make it right. This one clears our free shipping line on its own, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
MSA molded this one for the worst twenty minutes of somebody's shift, and it spent its whole life in a white cardboard box instead. If you are rebuilding a ClearCommand rig, you get to be the one who finally clips serial 10000579 to a coat and gives it the job it was made for.
