Page 4 of 12P/N 595284-01 Rev A 9/13USE OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM QUEUE INTERFACEThe organization using the QUEUE Interface must establish their own procedures for personnel accountability using the SCOTT CONNECT Accountability System including a REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION to verify that the unit is working properly. Fireghter Resources who are not using a properly equipped SCOTT SCBA respirator may be added to the system for accountability purposes by using SCOTT Program-mable ID Tags with the QUEUE Interface accessory. Three programmable ID’s are available:1. The ID Badge -- usually with an individual’s name and photo on it.2. The ID Tag -- a plastic tag that can be attached to a helmet or strap.3. The ID Button -- a plastic button that can be sewn into a garment such as inside a sleeve.RFID BADGERFID TAGRFID BUTTONResources added this way will not be automatically able to receive communications from the system. Special consideration must be given to resources who appear on the system using one of these methods.Any Fireghter Resources logged into the QUEUE Interface accessory will be added to the accountability system when the QUEUE Interface comes within range of ac-tive Base Station. The event commander must therefore conrm that all Fireghter Resources logged into the QUEUE Interface actually arrived at the scene of the event.WARNINGSPECIAL CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO RESOURCES WHO APPEAR ON THE SYSTEM USING ONE OF THE TAG READING METHODS. THE BASE STATION OPERATOR MUST VERIFY THAT ALL PERSONNEL WHO APPEAR AS LOGGED INTO THE QUEUE INTERFACE ACCESSORY ARE ACTUALLY PRESENT AT THE EVENT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT PRESENTATION OF INACCURATE INFORMATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
