FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF AN ORGANIZED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM MAY LEAD TO SITUATIONS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.WARNINGUSERS OF RESPIRATORS EQUIPPED WITH THE SEMS II 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.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE...SEMS II PERSONAL DISTRESS ALARM CONTROL CONSOLEThe SCOTT SEMS II PDA Portable Unit, when added to a SCOTT SCBA respirator consists of a Sensor Module with battery compartment mounted to the bottom of the respirator backframe, a pressure gauge with transducer, and a Control Console mounted on the wearer’s right shoulder strap at the pressure gauge location. The SEMS II PDA Portable Unit requires six (6) AA batteries to operate the Sensor Module on the backframe. The SEMS II PDA Control Console is integrated into the SCOTT SCBA as a part of the remote air pressure gauge assembly which hangs over the right shoulder of the respirator user. The Control Console also operates the PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY SYSTEM (PASS) distress alarm intended to as-sist in locating a respirator user who is incapacitated or in need of assistance. The PASS distress alarm in this model reaches FULL ALARM in a total of 30 (thirty) seconds. The Control Console has a set of status lights, a dial air pres-sure gauge, and three control buttons which can easily be pressed with gloved hands. Power is supplied by batteries in the SEMS II PDA battery compartment on the SCBA backframe.WARNINGFOLLOW REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE EXACTLY. IF THE SEMS II DISTRESS ALARM DOES NOT ACTUATE, OR IF ANY OTHER FEATURE DOES NOT OPERATE AS DESCRIBED OR IF ANY OTHER OPERATIONAL MALFUNCTION IS NOTED, DO NOT USE THE RESPIRATOR.WARNINGTHE SEMS II ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM COMMUNICATES ONLY WITH FIREFIGHTER RESOURCES (RESPIRATOR USERS) USING A SCOTT SCBA EQUIPPED WITH THE SEMS II ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM INTEGRATED INTO THE PERSONAL DISTRESS ALARM. OTHER FIREFIGHTER RESOURCES WHO ARE NOT USING A PROPERLY EQUIPPED SCOTT RESPIRATOR MAY BE ADDED FOR ACCOUNT-ABILITY PURPOSES, BUT THEY WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE COMMUNICATIONS FUNCTIONS OF THE SYSTEM. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THE STATUS OF FIREFIGHTER RESOURCES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.the IMPERIUM software. When logged on, all the SEMS II PDA Portable Units communicate to the Base Station directly and/or through other logged on units forming a communications "mesh network" to the Base Station. This extends the range for the units furthest away from the Base Station. Because of this mesh network system, the signal strength of each user may change as the network constantly re-adjusts to the movement of the users.SCBAs addtionally equipped with an optional BLUETOOTH backup communication, provide a limited one-way transmission from the control console to the Base Station at one minute intervals via a APX™ RF Modem/ Radio network. No information can be transmitted back to the respirator user when transmitting in BLUETOOTH mode.In units equipped with both SEMS II and BLUETOOTH, the SEMS II is the primary mode of communication between the console and Base Station. BLUETOOTH will only transmit information via radio to the base station when the SEMS II is out of range or otherwise unable to link to the system. Once the SEMS II transmission has resumed, or the SCBA is turned off, the BLUETOOTH transmission will discontinue.SEMS II CONTROL CONSOLESAIR-PAK X3 MODEL CONSOLENOTESEMS II ENABLED PDA UNITS HAVE BIDIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION CAPABILI-TIES AND CAN BOTH TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE DATA BETWEEN THE PDA AND THE BASE STATION. WHEN IN BLUETOOTH MODE, BLUETOOTH ENABLED PDA CONTROL CONSOLES ARE UNIDIRECTIONAL ONLY. THEY CAN SEND DATA TO THE BASE STATION THROUGH APPROVED BLUETOOTH ENABLED PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIOS BUT CANNOT RECEIVE DATA BACK FROM THE BASE STATION.No personal alert safety system, respirator, or combination of personal alert safety system and respirator, by themselves, can provide complete protection in dangerous situations. However, using an alarm and a respirator in accordance with the require-ments of an organized respiratory protection program is one of the many safety precautions which should be taken to avoid personal injury or death.These instructions explain the operation and use of the main functions of the ac-countability system. Follow the REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION procedure as described. If any function fails to operate as described, do not use the equipment. Remove the unit from service and tag for repair by authorized personnel. This system communicates only with Fireghter Resources (Respirator Users) using a SCOTT SCBA equipped with the SEMS II Accountability System integrated into the Personal Distress Alarm. Complete training in the use of the SEMS II and Bluetooth equipment is required before actual use in a hazardous envirionment. If the equipment does not work as described in these instructions, remove the equipment from service and tag for repair by authorized personnel.

SCOTT recommends use of a laptop computer designed for rugged use. Refer to the SCOTT CONNECT IMPERIUM ACCOUNTABILITY BASE STATION SOFTWARE Installation and Use instructions, SCOTT P/N 595290-01, in the HELP directory of the IMPERIUM software for complete system specication details, set up and operation. With the Imperium Event Management Software running on the PC, the incident com-mander has current information about status of the respirator users who are logged onto the Base Station, including information about air supply levels and PASS activa-tion. Simple dedicated functions in the software control the transmission to (SEMS II only) and receipt of signals from (SEMS II and BLUEtootth) respirator users. The same computer can be used for programming the ID Tags used with the SEMS II PDA. 1 WINDOWS is a registered trademarks of MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Redmond, WashingtonSEMS II BASE STATION WITH USB GATEWAY INSTALLED ON A LAPTOP PERSONAL COMPUTERWARNINGAUDIBLE ALARMS WILL ONLY SOUND FROM THE BASE STATION WHILE BASE STATION COMPUTER SPEAKERS ARE TURNED ON.

Page 5 of 36P/N 595289-01 Rev B 5/15When a respirator user opens the cylinder valve and begins use of a SCOTT SCBA equipped with the SEMS II PDA, the Accountability System electronics will automati-cally begin to operate. If the IMPERIUM Base Station is present at time of entry the SEMS II PDA will attempt to log-in to the Base Station. BLUETOOTH enabled units will attempt to log-in to the Base Station once the paired radio is turned on and they are communicating. When the SEMS II is out of range or otherwise unable to link to the system, the BLUETOOTH information will display on the base station. Once the SEMS II transmission has resumed, or the SCBA is turned off, the BLUETOOTH display will discontinue. It is the responsibility of the Incident Commanders from each re company to coordinate activities with each other and to maintain accountability for all participating reghter resources.Multiple organizations with SEMS II Accountability System equipment can operate at a single event scene since each Base Station operator can select and monitor which users log in on their Base Station. Multiple base stations may also be used at a single event to manage resources from several different re companies. SEMS II users will appear in one base station at a time. The user can be rejected and connect to an alternate base station. BLUETOOTH signats transmit to a base station modem via radio. The BLUETOOTH users will simultaneously appear on ALL base stations that are congured to the same radio channel. BLUETOOTH units will continue to display on the base station screen until the PDA unit either re-establishes SEMS II communication or it is turned off and removed from the base station. The SEMS II Accountability System and Personal Distress Alarm can be quickly pro-grammed with the identication of the SCBA user using the SEMS II Accountability RFID Tag, Badge, or Button. Programming the ID Tags and Portable Units allows the organization to customize the identication of the SEMS II Portable Units. See SEMS II Programming Guide, SCOTT Imperium Commissioning for complete details of programming the SEMS II equipment. SCOTT recommends re-programming with the RFID card in accordance with your organization's procedures to assure that the user's unique ID number is in use at all times.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE...PROGRAMMING THE USER ID WITH THE RFID TAG ID ICONSEMS II RFID TAG WRITER, SCOTT P/N 200773-01.
Page 6 of 36P/N 595289-01 Rev B 5/15PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEMThe SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System is a two part electronic system consisting of a PAK-TRACKER Transmitter integrated into the SCOTT SEMS II distress alarm, and a PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver, which is a directional receiver used to locate the signal coming from the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter. The PAK-TRACKER locator system transmitter is activated with the PASS alarm. The transmitter emits a radio signal with a unique ID number that can be tracked using the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver unit. The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver is then used as a directional receiver to assist in leading the rescue team to the activated transmitter. By pointing the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver in the direction of the strongest relative signal, the rescue crew can follow the signal toward the respirator user who is incapacitated or in need of assistance.Use of this equipment must be part of a complete personnel accountability system that includes procedures for monitoring the deployment and condition of all users. Do not rely on the PAK-TRACKER Locator System as the only technique for locating miss-ing personnel. Failure to use this equipment properly may actually increase the time needed to locate and rescue personnel. 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 locator system before entering a potentially hazardous or life threatening situation.The PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions, SCOTT part number 595102-01, contain essential information on the use of the locator system and must be used as the basis of training for use of the whole system including use with a SEMS II distress alarm equipped with the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter. The PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions include an overview of the system operation, limitations of the system, as well as any user level maintenance for the PAK-TRACKER Locator System equipment.

FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE SEMS II DISTRESS ALARM AND TAKE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.PRE ALARM:If the respirator remains motionless for more than twenty (20) seconds, the SEMS II distress alarm will automatically sound a pre-alarm When the pre-alarm occurs, the green ashing light on the control console is replaced by alternating bright red lights which ash approximately once a second and are 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 respi-rator to reset the pre-alarm. When reset, the ashing red light will be replaced by the ashing 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 re-set the pre-alarm. Shaking the control console will not reset the SEMS II 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 ashing light on the control console is replaced by the green ashing light.FULL ALARM:If the respirator remains motionless through the twelve (12) second pre-alarm cycle, the SEMS II 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 alarm tone from the sensor module accompanied by simultaneous ashing red signal lights on the control console. After an additional (10) second delay, the unit will send a notication of PASS activation to the SEMS II Base Station and the Pak-Tracker Locator transmitter in the unit will begin transmitting the unique ID number that can be received by the Pak-Tracker Hand Held Unit. To reset the full alarm condition, press the reset button twice. After the full alarm has been silenced, the SEMS II distress alarm will remain activated in sensing mode with the green light ashing 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. The manual alarm may be activated at any time, even when the respirator is not pressurized. The manual alarm is indicated by a loud alarm tone from the sensor module accom-panied by simultaneous ashing red signal lights on the control console. The unit will immediately send a notication of PASS activation to the SEMS II Base Station and the Pak-Tracker Locator transmitter in the unit will begin transmitting the unique ID number that can be received by the Pak-Tracker Hand Held Unit. . To reset the manual alarm, press the reset button twice. After the alarm has been silenced, the SEMS II distress alarm will remain activated in sensing 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 ashing red light can be turned on at any time by pressing the manual alarm button on the control console.TO TURN OFF THE SEMS II DISTRESS ALARMWhen use of the respirator with the SEMS II 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 ow stops, press the reset button twice to turn off the distress alarm and close the regulator purge valve.If there is no pressure in the system when the RESET button is pressed twice, the unit will sound a quick two tone chirp to indicate that the alarm has been turned off.

After a brief start-up sequence, the module will sound 3 quick audible chirps and a green light located on the control console will ash approximately once a second. • BLUETOOTH: Use of the BLUETOOTH transmission begins when a unit communicates with a previously paired compatible portable two-way radio. Refer to the "PAIRING BLUETOOTH ENABLED PDA CONTROL CONSOLE WITH PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO" section of this instruction for pairing instruction. To start the connection turn on the radio. Then, open the cylinder. The LED light on the X3 console will begin ashing BLUE as the PDA searches for the paired radio. 2. Initialization and RANGE• SEMS II: After the start-up sequence, the SEMS II PDA Por-table Unit will send an Initialization signal to the base stationa. When a SEMS II is searching for a connection to the base station, the RANGE symbol on the Control Console will flash YELLOW.b. When a connection is made with the base station, the RANGE symbol on the Control Console will turn to solid GREEN c. When a SEMS II respirator user loses contact with the base sta-tion, the RANGE symbol on the Control Console will flash YELLOW indicating out of range until it can regain contact. If using a dual SEMS II and BLUETOOTH unit, the BLUETOOTH may connect until SEMS II is back in range.• BLUETOOTH: a. When a Bluetooth connection is made to the two way radio the LED on the PDA unit will light solid Blue. b. When the SCBA user moves too far from the radio after logging-in, the LED will flash BLUE until it is back in range.Except for those functions which involve communication all PASS functions of the Control Console and PDA distress alarm are still operational when the Portable Unit is either out of range or not connected to a base station or radio. 3. PASS DISTRESS ALARMa. The SEMS II PDA PASS distress alarm will operate in conjunc-tion with the Portable Unit. If the distress alarm on the respirator is activated, either by the user pressing and holding the Red MANUAL ALARM button for at least two seconds, or from the user being immobile for the required time duration, the Portable Unit will send a PASS distress alarm signal to the base station. This signal will override all other messages and actions of the Portable Unit. The PASS symbol on the Control Console will flash RED. (SEMS II and Bluetooth)b. The PASS icon will appear Flashing RED on the Console, and an audible alert will sound. (SEMS II and Bluetooth)c. When the base station acknowledges the user’s distress signal by selecting the TEAM Member's PASS button on the TEAM Details, the PASS symbol on the Control Console will turn Solid RED.

If the respirator users are required to leave the hazardous area, the base station operator can send an evacuation message to the Portable Units of logged-in respirator users. This message can be sent either to all logged-in users (EVAC ALL), to everyone on an Assignment (EVAC ASSIGN), to everyone in a geographic DIVISION (EVAC BLDG) or to an individual logged-in users as selected from the TEAM Details (EVAC). b. The Portable Unit will emit the alert sound and the EVAC symbol will begin flashing RED on the Control Console.c. When an EVAC symbol begins flashing on the Control Console, the respirator user must press twice the Yellow RESET button on the Control Console to respond to the evacuation message. The EVAC symbol on the Control Console will turn ON solid RED until the user leaves the hazardous area and shuts down the respirator. The res-pirator user's EVAC symbol in the TEAM Details on the Display will change from RED to WHITE to indicate acknowledgement.Evacuation message will ONLY be sent to individual SEMS II PDA users or to the QUEUE interface. EVAC notice will not send to user while in BLUETOOTH mode but will send once SEMS II communications have resumed. EVAC button will be deactivated when no SEMS II Gateway is connected to the Base Station.5. WITHDRAWa. The respirator user may choose to leave the hazardous area. Pressing and holding the Gray WITHDRAW button for at least two seconds will send that message to the Base Station. The "EVAC" symbol on the Control Console will ash YELLOW quickly as the WITHDRAW message appears on the Base Station. b. When the Base Station receives a user WITHDRAW message, the Base Station Operator selects the ACK W/D button.c) After the Base Station acknowledges, the “EVAC” symbol on the Control Console will turn ON steady until user leaves hazardous area and shuts down the respirator.6. Air Supply Cylinder Pressurea) In addition to the other end-of-service indicators on the respirator, when the cylinder reaches one third of full pressure, the VIBE ALERT sounds a LOW AIR warning with an audible alarm. .b) The VIBE ALERT alarm will be transmitted until the respirator has been de-pleted. This LOW AIR alarm is in addition to the other end-of-service indicators on the respirator.7. Shutdowna) After leaving the hazardous area and conrming that respirator use is no longer required, doff the respirator according the user instructions provided with the respirator.b) Close the cylinder valve.

Page 18 of 36P/N 595289-01 Rev B 5/15USE AS PART OF AN ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMTRAINING REQUIRED BEFORE USE. Refer to the PAK-TRACKER Locator Sys-tem User Instructions, SCOTT P/N 595102-01 for complete details on the use of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System. Use of this equipment must be part of a complete personnel accountability system that includes procedures for monitoring the deploy-ment and condition of all users. Do not rely on the PAK-TRACKER Locator System as the only technique for locating missing personnel. A Rapid Intervention or Rescue team using the Hand Held Receiver must have a minimum of two (2) people. For their own safety, the team members must pay attention to their surroundings at all times while using the PAK-TRACKER Locator System.The accountability system must include procedures for alerting the incident commander and rescue teams when actuated transmitters or the missing personnel have been found or when they have moved from their previous location. It is the responsibility of the personnel accountability system to allow for such contingencies without exposing individuals and teams to unnecessary dangers.PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEMThe SCOTT PAK-TRACKER locator system is an electronic system consisting of a Hand Held Receiver and a Transmitter built into the SEMS II Sensor Module on the SCBA backframe. The Transmitter is activated when the PASS is in Full Alarm. When a Transmitter is activated, it sends out a radio signal in all directions that is received by the 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. WARNINGREAD AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE MAN-UAL AND THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM MANUAL, P/N 595102-01. TRAINING IS REQUIRED BEFORE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE TRAINING MUST INCLUDE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT AND HOW TO INTERPRET LOCATING INFORMATION, ALONG WITH EXTENSIVE PRACTICE WITH THE SYSTEM IN A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS. USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE A PART OF A COMPLETE PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. ALWAYS UPDATE TRAINING WITH EACH NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. USE OF A PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM WITHOUT PROPER TRAIN-ING MAY PLACE THE USERS AT HIGHER RISK IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.MULTIPLE SIGNAL PATHS ARE POSSIBLEOPERATION AND USE OF THE SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM
Page 19 of 36P/N 595289-01 Rev B 5/15WARNINGCONTINUED TRAINING AND PRACTICE IN A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS IS ESSENTIAL TO DEVELOPING THE SKILLS TO PROPERLY IN-TERPRET THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM. USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT TRAINING AND PRACTICE MAY JEOPARDIZE ALL PERSONNEL INVOLVED WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.Successful operation of the PAK-TRACKER Locator system depends heavily on the interpretation of the relative signal strength information displayed on the Hand Held Receiver along with all other available information about the possible location of the activated transmitter. The Hand Held Receiver is very sensitive in responding to small differences in signal strength. The relative strength of the Transmitter signal detected by the Hand Held Receiver will vary depending on:1. The distance from the Transmitter to the Hand Held Receiver, 2. The path the Transmitter signal has taken to get to the Hand Held Receiver,3. The materials between the Transmitter and the Hand Held Receiver which may have affected the signal from the Transmitter. The user of the Hand Held Receiver must interpret the readings on the Hand Held Receiver display along with other information, such as:– training and knowledge in systematic search and rescue techniques,– their sense of sight (watch where you are going),– their sense of sound (listen for an activated PASS device), – the deployment of the missing personnel, – knowledge of the building layout and building materials, Do not rely solely on the readings from the Hand Held Receiver to locate the activated Transmitter. Refer to the PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions, SCOTT P/N 595102-01 for complete details on the use of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System.When a SEMS II Control Console has been programmed with the user’s RFID Tag, the PAK-TRACKER locator system will display the rst eight characters of the Employee ID number as programmed on the RFID Tag. The rst eight (8) characters of the Employee ID number on the RFID Tag must be unique to that individual. Use a badge number or some other identier that is not shared by anyone else. Using a unique number in the rst eight (8) characters will assure that searchers using the PAK-TRACKER locator system will not see two signals with the same number displayed.If the RFID Tag is not used, PAK-TRACKER locator system will display the default eight digit ID number which appears on a label beside the cable connection on the Sensor Module. This default number can be reprogrammed using the SCOTT Pak-Link Computer Interface. Refer to the Pak-Link Computer Interface Installation and Use Instructions, SCOTT P/N 595123-01, for complete details.To return to the default ID number and remove the programmed RFID card number, proceed as follows:1. Verify that the air cylinder is closed and there is no residual air in the system.2. Verify that the electronics have been inactive for at lease thirty (30) seconds.3. Press and hold the YELLOW button on the Console for eight (8) seconds until the red LEDS begin ashing alternately. In addition, the unit will automatically return to the default ID number:– if the battery cover is opened and/or the batteries are removed, OR– after twenty-four hours.SCOTT recommends re-programming with the RFID card in accordance with your orga-nization's procedures to assure that the user's unique ID number is in use at all times.

CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RADIO EQUIPMENT TO THE SEMS II DISTRESS ALARM DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE SEMS II 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. WARNINGBE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL EFFECT OF RADIO TRANSMISSIONS FROM BASE STATION OR TRUCK MOUNT RADIOS WHEN USING A RESPIRATOR WITH THE SEMS II DISTRESS ALARM. CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RADIO EQUIPMENT TO THE SEMS II DISTRESS ALARM DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE A MALFUNCTION OF THE SEMS II 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. DETECTING AND AVOIDING RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCEWhen any electronic device is adversely affected by radio waves, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is said to have occurred. All electronic devices like the SEMS II distress alarm may be subject to the effects of RFI. Radio transmissions from the antennas of radios including those used by re ghters, police and other public safety related personnel may produce RFI in the SEMS II distress alarm. RFI may occur while the radio is transmitting if the respirator equipped with the SEMS II 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 SEMS II distress alarm.Be aware of the symptoms of RFI. A SEMS II 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 ash without sounding the alarm. In rare circumstances, an alarm which was sounding may stop.If the SEMS II distress alarm 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 SEMS II distress alarm . 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 SEMS II distress alarm will typically resume normal operation after experiencing RFI. If the SEMS II 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 SEMS II DISTRESS ALARM TO VERIFY THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IF THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE CONTROL CONSOLE DOES NOT RESUME FLASH-ING 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.HAND HELD RECEIVERSENSOR MODULECONTROL CONSOLEKEEP RADIO ANTENNAS AT LEASTSIX (6) INCHES FROM THESE AREASRFI WARNING AREAS
Page 28 of 36P/N 595289-01 Rev B 5/15Minimize or eliminate the effects of RFI by protecting the SEMS II distress alarm 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 CON-TROL CONSOLE or the SENSOR MODULE. RFI AND THE PAK-TRACKER HAND HELD RECEIVERIf the Hand Held Receiver experiences RFI, it may be necessary to remove the Hand Held Receiver from service. In a known safe, non-hazardous area, remove and reinstall the batteries to reset the unit (see the BATTERY REPLACEMENT section of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions, SCOTT P/N 595102-01).
