When the set up is completed successfully, select “OK.” You will return to the Installer screen.4. When finished installing, close the Installer.CREATING YOUR IDENTIFICATION PLANEach organization using this equipment must determine how to identify the respirators used by itsmembers. Every SEMS II PASS device must have a distinct identification. Never give two differentPASS devices the same identification number. If two or more units have the same identification:– When searching with a PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Unit, it will be difficult to distinguish whichunit is in alarm mode;– If two units equipped with the data logging function have the same identification, it will be difficultto distinguish which unit is in question when conducting an investigation.For units equipped with the data logging function, SCOTT recommends that you perform a DataLog download before you change the identification so that you have a record of the data log pointsthat occurred under the old identification.Your organization must choose an identification plan that will give you the most information with theleast confusion. Establish the identification plan and train everyone involved before use of theequipment in an actual event. Also consider coordinating with other organizations in your area formutual aid situations especially when using the PAK-TRACKER equipment.
