P/N 595278-01 Rev B 2/18
WARNING
FOLLOW THE REGULAR OPERATIONAL IN-
SPECTION PROCEDURE EXACTLY. IF THE
PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM DOES NOT AC-
TUATE, OR DOES NOT OPERATE AS DESCRIBED
OR IF ANY OTHER OPERATIONAL MALFUNCTION
IS NOTED, DO NOT USE THE RESPIRATOR.
WARNING
IN SEVERAL OF THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
DESCRIBED, A FULL ALARM WILL BE OBSERVED.
THE FULL ALARM CONDITION INCLUDES AN
AUDIBLE TONE THAT CAN EXCEED 95 DBA AT 3
METERS (9.9 FT.). TO PREVENT POSSIBLE HEAR-
ING DAMAGE DURING TEST, THE ALARM SHOULD
BE RESET IMMEDIATELY ON VERIFICATION THAT
IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. HEARING PRO-
TECTION SHOULD BE WORN IF PROLONGED
EXPOSURE TO A FULL ALARM CONDITION IS
ANTICIPATED.
CAUTION
THE PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES OF THE PAK-
ALERT DISTRESS ALARM CANNOT BE PROPERLY
TESTED IN THE FIELD.
Inspect and test the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System along with the
inspection and testing of the Scott Safety SCBA respirator before each use.
Include the following inspection procedures with the regular operational inspec-
tion procedures defined in your respirator instructions. If any malfunction of the
respirator, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm, or the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held
Receiver is noted during the inspection, remove the respirator from service and
tag it for repair by authorized personnel.
To test the PAK-TRACKER locator transmitter, you must have an operating
SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver.
NOTE
IF THIS INSPECTION IS DONE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IT MAY BE HELPFUL
TO SHADE THE LENS ON THE CONTROL CONSOLE WITH YOUR HAND
TO BE SURE THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AS DESCRIBED.
1. While performing the visual inspection of the respirator, visually inspect
all distress alarm enclosures, lenses, and wire conduits for cracks, wear or
other damage. If any damage is found, remove the respirator from service
and tag for repair by qualified personnel.
2. Turn on the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver according to
the operating instructions provided with the unit. Position the Hand Held
Receiver nearby.
3. With the cylinder valve closed, press the manual alarm button, located on
the front of the distress alarm control console.
a) The manual alarm sounds a loud, almost continuous, 3-tone chirp
accompanied by flashing of the red signal light on the control console.
b) The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver sounds an alarm and displays
the identification number of the PAK-ALERT distress alarm, which
appears on the label on the Sensor Module or the Control Console. Use
the SCROLL button on the Hand Held Receiver to highlight the active
ID number and press the ENTER button on the Hand Held Receiver to
select the displayed ID number. Point the unit directly at and in close
proximity to the respirator. The signal strength displayed will be at its
highest value.
4. Reset the manual alarm by pressing the reset button
twice
(fully depress
the reset button on the side of the control console, release, and press
again).
a) The unit will sound three chirps, and the green light flashes.
b) The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver resets to its non-alarm state.
5. Turn the PAK-ALERT distress alarm off by again pressing the reset button
twice
. The unit will sound a two-tone chirp, and the green light will go out.
6. Open the cylinder valve to pressurize the respirator system. The distress
alarm sounds 3 quick chirps, and the light on the control console flashes
green about once per second. The 3 chirps sound at approximately the
same time the VIBRALERT in the mask-mounted regulator actuates briefly.
Make sure the air flow is stopped by pressing the air saver/donning switch.
7. To check the pre-alarm, leave the respirator motionless for twenty (20)
seconds. The green flashing light is replaced by a red flashing light. An
ascending/descending tone sounds, increasing in volume. Leave the
respirator motionless.
8. After the pre-alarm condition occurs, check the pre-alarm reset. Within
twelve (12) seconds of the pre-alarm, move the respirator to activate the
motion sensor. The PAK-ALERT distress alarm resets to the automatic
mode. The red flashing light is replaced by a green flashing light and the
ascending/descending tone stops.
Continue with regular operational inspection of respirator as directed by respirator
instructions or your approved respiratory protection plan procedure. During the
inspection the respirator must be moved or turned every thirty (30) seconds or
less to prevent sounding of the full alarm.
WARNING
THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE LOCATOR SYS-
TEM CANNOT BE CHECKED WITHOUT CHECKING
ALL COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM TOGETHER.
THE REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION MUST
INCLUDE THE HAND HELD RECEIVER AND THE
TRANSMITTER WORKING WITH EACH OTHER
TO CONFIRM PROPER OPERATION. FAILURE TO
PROPERLY INSPECT THE COMPLETE SYSTEM
MAY RESULT IN FAILURE OF ONE COMPONENT,
WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
