THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLEMENT BUT DO NOT REPLACE THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH EACH RESPIRATOR. Copyright © 2006, SCOTT, All Rights Reserved DRAFT COPY THE SCOTT PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM DESCRIPTION WARNING The PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm is a PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY SYSTEM (PASS) intended to assist in locating a respirator user who is incapacitated or in need of assistance. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm is an optional accessory intended only for the SCOTT AIR-PAK® 2.2/ 3.0/4.5/Fifty Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm consists of a sensor module mounted to the bottom of the respirator backframe, a pressure switch mounted between the cylinder and gauge line, and a control console mounted on the wearer’s right shoulder strap at the pressure gauge location. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm reaches full alarm in a total of thirty (30) seconds. In addition to the standard PASS functionality, the PAK-ALERT SE + is also equipped with a SCOTT PAK-TRACKER locator device which is activated with the PASS alarm. The locator has a transmitter which emits a radio signal that can be tracked using the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver unit. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT SE + equipped with the locator transmitter can be identified by the two RED covers on the Sensor Module. See FIGURE 2. RED COVERS ON SENSOR MODULE FIGURE 2 RED COVERS ON SENSOR MODULE The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System is a two part electronic system consisting of a PAK-TRACKER Transmitter, which is integrated into the PAKALERT SE + distress alarm, and a PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver, which is a directional receiver or “sniffer” used to locate the signal coming from the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter. This line of electronic accessories is for use by fire fighters, first responders, domestic preparedness and law enforcement officers, as well as haz-mat and industrial users. The PAK-TRACKER Transmitter works in conjunction with the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm. A short time after activation of the full alarm, the unit begins transmitting a signal with a unique ID number that can be received by the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver. The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver is then used as a directional sensor to lead the rescue crew to the downed user. By pointing the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver in the direction of the strongest signal, the rescue crew can follow the signal to the downed user. DO NOT OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATIONS OR SUBSTANCES WHICH MAY AFFECT VISION, DEXTERITY, OR JUDGMENT. USERS OF THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE IN GOOD PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IN ORDER TO OPERATE SAFELY. DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT WHEN FATIGUE PREVENTS SAFE OPERATION. STAY ALERT WHEN OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT. INATTENTION OR CARELESSNESS WHILE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WARNING NO PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY SYSTEM, RESPIRATOR OR COMBINATION OF PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY SYSTEM AND RESPIRATOR, BY THEMSELVES, CAN PROVIDE COMPLETE PROTECTION IN FIRE SITUATIONS. HOWEVER, USING AN ALARM AND A RESPIRATOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AN ORGANIZED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE MANY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHICH SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. WARNING USERS OF RESPIRATORS EQUIPPED WITH THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE DISTRESS ALARM. IF THE GREEN LIGHT IS NOT FLASHING NORMALLY, OR IF THE UNIT EXHIBITS ANY OTHER SIGNS OF A MALFUNCTION WITHOUT THE USER TAKING PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION, IT MAY LEAD TO CIRCUMSTANCES THAT RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DRAFT COPY Training and practice in realistic emergency simulations is required before use of this equipment. The users must become thoroughly familiar with the operation and the limitations of the system before entering a potentially hazardous or life threatening situation.

If RFI occurs to the PAK-ALERT distress alarm, it may be caused by transmissions from base stations or high-powered vehicle mounted radios or transmissions from hand-held or personal radios where the radio antenna is touching or very close to (less than 6 inches from) components of the PAK-ALERT distress alarm. WARNING RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI) MAY CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM. USERS OF RESPIRATORS EQUIPPED WITH THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE DISTRESS ALARM. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PAKALERT DISTRESS ALARM AND TAKE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DRAFT COPY OPERATION OF THE SCOTT PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM WARNING With proper batteries and a charged air cylinder installed, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm device is automatically activated when the respirator is pressurized by opening the cylinder valve of the respirator. To indicate activation, the sensor module will sound 3 quick audible chirps and the green light located on the control console will flash approximately once a second. See FIGURE 4. The PAK-ALERT distress alarm is now in the automatic mode. In the automatic mode, the SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm constantly monitors motion of the respirator backframe. The sensor module is located on the respirator backframe beneath the air cylinder and contains the motion sensor and the audible alarm. If the sensor module does not sense motion of the respirator for twenty (20) seconds, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will signal a pre-alarm condition. If there is still no motion of the respirator for the next twelve (12) seconds the full alarm will sound. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm will remain activated in the automatic mode until turned OFF according to these instructions. RED SIGNAL LIGHT MANUAL ALARM BUTTON (RED INDICATOR) RESET PUSH TWICE CONSOLE LENS RESET BUTTON (YELLOW INDICATOR) FIGURE 4 THE CONTROL CONSOLE WARNING USERS OF RESPIRATORS EQUIPPED WITH THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE DISTRESS ALARM. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM AND TAKE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MANUAL ALARM GREEN SIGNAL LIGHT THE INFORMATION BELOW IS MEANT TO SUPPLEMENT, NOT REPLACE, THE TRAINING, SUPERVISION, MAINTENANCE, AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF YOUR ORGANIZED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM. SEE WARNING ON FIRST PAGE OF THIS DOCUMENT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DRAFT COPY PRE-ALARM If the respirator remains motionless for more than twenty (20) seconds, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will automatically sound a pre-alarm When the pre-alarm occurs, the green flashing light on the control console is replaced by a bright red light which flashes approximately once a second and is accompanied by an ascending/descending audible tone which increases in volume during the pre-alarm cycle. If the respirator user is not incapacitated or not in need of assistance, move the respirator to reset the pre-alarm. When reset, the flashing red light will be replaced by the flashing green and the ascending/descending tone will stop. Remember that the motion sensor is in the sensor module on the respirator backframe beneath the air cylinder. Actual movement of the respirator backframe is required to reset the pre-alarm. Shaking the control console will not reset the PAK-ALERT distress alarm . To manually reset the pre-alarm, press and hold the reset button on the side of the control console until three (3) quick audible chirps are heard and the red flashing light on the control console is replaced by the green flashing light. FULL ALARM WARNING USERS OF RESPIRATORS EQUIPPED WITH THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE DISTRESS ALARM. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM AND TAKE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. If the respirator remains motionless through the twelve (12) second pre-alarm cycle, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will go into full alarm. This may indicate that the user is incapacitated or in need of assistance and can not move. Full alarm is indicated by a loud, almost continuous 3 tone chirp from the sensor module accompanied by the flashing red signal light on the control console. Ten (10) seconds after the full alarm condition starts, the Locator Transmitter will begin to transmit the unique ID number for the unit. To reset the full alarm condition, press the reset button twice. See FIGURE 4. After the full alarm has been silenced by pressing the reset button twice, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will remain activated in the automatic mode with the green light flashing once per second. As long as the respirator is pressurized, there must be movement of the respirator at least every twenty (20) seconds or the distress alarm will again go into pre-alarm followed by full alarm as described above. MANUAL ALARM If the respirator user requires immediate assistance, pressing the manual alarm button located on the front of the control console will immediately sound the full alarm. See FIGURE 4. The manual alarm may be activated at any time, even when the respirator is not pressurized. If the manual alarm is activated when the respirator is not pressurized, press the reset button twice to silence the alarm. The PAK-ALERT distress alarm will remain on in automatic mode. To turn the unit off, press the reset twice again while the unit is not in alarm mode. Remember, the loud audible alarm and flashing red light can be turned on at any time by pressing the manual alarm button on the control console. OPERATION OF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE... DRAFT COPY OPERATION OF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM CONTINUED... TO TURN OFF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM When use of the respirator with the PAK-ALERT distress alarm is no longer required, close the cylinder valve on the respirator and vent the residual air from the respirator system by opening the regulator purge valve. After all the air flow stops, close the regulator purge valve and press the reset button twice to turn off the PAK-ALERT distress alarm. The green flashing light will go out and a fifteen (15) second beep sequence will sound from the sensor module. When the unit sounds a quick two tone chirp, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will be inactive. If the respirator cylinder valve is open and/or pressure remains in the respirator, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm can not be turned off. Pressing the reset button when the respirator is pressurized will only reset an alarm condition and return the PAK-ALERT distress alarm to automatic mode. If the respirator cylinder is turned off and depressurized without pressing the reset button twice, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will continue to monitor motion in automatic mode. This means that the PAK-ALERT distress alarm may be used to monitor motion after the respirator is turned off and depressurized. Resetting the full alarm after the respirator has been depressurized will not turn off the PAK-ALERT distress alarm. Press the reset switch twice with no alarm condition to turn off the PAK-ALERT distress alarm (the fifteen (15) second beep sequence and two tone chirp will be heard). LOW BATTERY In a low battery condition, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will produce a single audible chirp from the sensor module once every two (2) seconds and the green light on the control module will not flash. While in low battery condition, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will continue to operate for a period of time greater then the longest duration cylinder available for the respirator. However, the batteries must be replaced before the respirator is used again. See THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT section of these instructions. If batteries are completely discharged or have not been installed, there will be no light or sound and the unit will not operate. BATTERY TEST To test the batteries, verify that the PAK-ALERT distress alarm is in the off condition (cylinder valve closed with no flashing green LED on the control console). Press and hold the reset button on the console. A green light on the console will illuminate to indicate sufficient battery power remaining. If a red light appears, the batteries must be replaced before the respirator is used again. WARNING FAILURE TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES AND/ OR CONTINUING WITH MULTIPLE USES OF THE RESPIRATOR AFTER THE LOW BATTERY CONDITION HAS BEEN INDICATED BY THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM MAY RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM DURING USE AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH OF THE USER. DRAFT COPY PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM When a PAK-TRACKER Transmitter is activated, it sends out a radio signal that is received by the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver. Understanding how the radio signal from a Transmitter behaves and how the Hand Held Receiver receives and displays the strength of that signal are critical to understanding the operation of the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System. When the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter is activated, the radio signal will emanate equally in all directions. The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver indicates the relative strength of the radio signal on the display in numbers from 10 to 99 where 10 is the weakest signal and 99 is the strongest signal. The relative strength of the radio signal detected by the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver will vary depending on: 1. The distance from the Transmitter to the Hand Held Receiver, 2. What path the radio signal has taken to get to the Hand Held Receiver. The further the signal has traveled as well as how often it has been reflected will determine the relative strength of the signal when it reaches the Hand Held Receiver. The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver is a directional receiver in that it will display a higher relative signal strength when it is pointed at the specific area where the signal is coming from. Since the signal is coming to the PAKTRACKER Hand Held Receiver from all directions in varying strengths, the receiver is very sensitive in responding to small differences between a stronger signal that is coming most directly from the transmitter and a weaker signal that has reflected several times before reaching the receiver. The user of the Hand Held Receiver must interpret the readings on the Hand Held Receiver display and follow the strongest signal to reach the activated Transmitter. The radio signal from the Transmitter will always follow a path of least resistance to the receiver in the Hand Held Receiver. The radio signal will pass through some materials and surfaces, while it will tend to reflect off other materials. In general, the radio signal will pass through glass, wood, or light building materials. The signal will reflect off large metal objects, concrete walls or floors, brick, or concrete block construction. The reflected signal will continue to move following the path of least resistance through openings, down halls, and through doors and windows, or through holes or gaps in walls and floors. The signal will follow the open cavities of a building such as halls, stairways, or elevator shafts. The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver and PAK-TRACKER Transmitter are used to monitor personnel location both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, the range is approximately 1000 feet / 300 meters line of sight (LOS). If the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter is located inside a building and a PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver is located outside the building, range is approximately 400 feet / 125 meters. If both the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter and PAKTRACKER Hand Held Receiver are totally indoors, the system has a range of up to 250 feet / 75 meters. WARNING RESTRICTED USE IN SOME LOCATIONS DO NOT USE THE HAND HELD RECEIVER IN ATMOSPHERES WHERE FLAMMABLES ARE OPENLY HANDLED OR MAY BE PRESENT CONTINUOUSLY. THE HAND HELD RECEIVER MAY BE USED IN ATMOSPHERES WHERE FLAMMABLES ARE NORMALLY CONTAINED OR ARE IN THE FORM OF DEPOSITS OR DUST. SEE THE SAFETY STATEMENT ON PAGE 4. FAILURE TO VERIFY THAT THE ATMOSPHERE IS NOT FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE BEFORE USING THE HAND HELD RECEIVER MAY RESULT IN A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. The Hand Held Receiver may not be suitable for use in certain atmospheres which could contain flammable or explosive gases in unknown levels. If any of the following conditions may be present, do not use the Hand Held Receiver: – Ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors may be present under normal conditions – Ignitable concentrations of such gases or vapors may exist because of repair or leakage – Breakdown or faulty operation of equipment or processes might release ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors. Always check for the presence of flammable or explosive gases before entering an unknown atmosphere with the Hand Held Receiver. THE HAND HELD RECEIVER IS A BATTERY OPERATED ELECTRICAL DEVICE THAT HAS NOT BEEN EVALUATED FOR INTRINSIC SAFETY AS AN IGNITION SOURCE. THIS DEVICE IS NOT TO BE USED IN A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. ALWAYS CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE GASES BEFORE ENTERING AN UNKNOWN ATMOSPHERE WITH THE HAND HELD RECEIVER. USE OF THE HAND HELD RECEIVER IN A FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE MAY RESULT IN IGNITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WARNING DRAFT COPY DETECTING AND AVOIDING RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE When any electronic device is adversely affected by radio waves, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is said to have occurred. All electronic devices like the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm may be subject to the effects of RFI. Radio transmissions from the antennas of radios including those used by fire fighters, police and other public safety related personnel may produce RFI in the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm. RFI may occur while the radio is transmitting if the respirator equipped with the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm is in close proximity to a base station or high-powered vehicle mounted radio, or if the antenna of a personal portable hand held radio is touching or within six (6) inches of the Control Console or Sensor Module of the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm. See FIGURE 5. Be aware of the symptoms of RFI. A PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm affected by RFI may temporarily give false indications such as the sudden sounding of the loud continuous three-tone chirp of the full alarm. In some instances the lights on the control console may flash without sounding the alarm. In rare circumstances, an alarm which was sounding may stop. If the PAK-ALERT SE + exhibits any of the symptoms of RFI, identify the source of the RFI and do the following: – If the symptoms of RFI occur when standing near a base station transmitting antenna or a truck mounted radio antenna, move away from the antenna until the symptoms stop. – If the symptoms of RFI occur while transmitting on a hand-held radio, move the radio away from the PAK-ALERT SE +. CHECK THE CONTROL CONSOLE AND BE CERTAIN THE GREEN LIGHT IS FLASHING NORMALLY WHEN THE INTERFERENCE STOPS, REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE. In normal usage with the air cylinder open, the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm will typically resume normal operation after experiencing RFI. 10 WARNING KEEP THE ANTENNAS OF HAND-HELD RADIOS AT LEAST SIX (6) INCHES AWAY FROM THE CONTROL CONSOLE AND THE SENSOR MODULE OF THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM WHEN TRANSMITTING. CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RADIO EQUIPMENT TO THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM AND TAKE THE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION MAY RESULT A NONWORKING DISTRESS ALARM WHICH WILL NOT SOUND IF THE USER STOPS MOVING AND LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WARNING BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL EFFECT OF RADIO TRANSMISSIONS FROM BASE STATION OR TRUCK MOUNT RADIOS WHEN USING A RESPIRATOR WITH THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM. CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RADIO EQUIPMENT TO THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM AND TAKE THE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION MAY RESULT A NONWORKING DISTRESS ALARM WHICH WILL NOT SOUND IF THE USER STOPS MOVING AND LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DRAFT COPY KEEP RADIO ANTENNAS AT LEAST SIX (6) INCHES FROM THESE AREAS CONTROL CONSOLE SENSOR MODULE HAND HELD RECEIVER FIGURE 5 RFI WARNING AREAS In some circumstances after experiencing RFI, it may be necessary to remove the unit from service. Remove and reinstall the batteries to reset the unit (see BATTERY REPLACEMENT section of this instruction, page 10). Then inspect and return the unit to service. If the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm is affected by RFI when the respirator air supply is turned off or the cylinder is empty, the distress alarm could be turned off during use. If this occurs, depress the RED Manual Alarm Button to activate the alarm. IF THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI OCCUR, THE RESPIRATOR USER MUST CHECK THE PAK-ALERT SE + DISTRESS ALARM TO VERIFY THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IF THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE CONTROL CONSOLE DOES NOT RESUME FLASHING IN THE NORMAL MANNER AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI, OR IF THE UNIT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION IN ANY OTHER WAY, PROCEED TO A SAFE AREA, REMOVE THE RESPIRATOR FROM SERVICE AND TAG FOR REPAIR BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. Minimize or eliminate the effects of RFI by protecting the PAK-ALERT SE + with the following steps: – Maintain a safe distance from a base station transmitting antenna or a truck mounted radio antenna. – Keep the antennas of hand held radios at least six (6) inches away from the CONTROL CONSOLE or the SENSOR MODULE. See FIGURE 5. 11 DRAFT COPY REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION Inspect and test the SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm along with the inspection and test of the SCOTT SCBA respirator before each use. Include the following inspection procedures with the REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION procedures defined in your respirator instructions. If any malfunction of the respirator or the PAK-ALERT distress alarm is noted during the inspection, remove the respirator from service and tag for repair by authorized personnel.
