If the respirator cylinder is turned off and depressurized without rendering the alarm
sensor inactive (pressing the RESET button twice), the distress alarm will continue to
monitor motion in sensing mode. This means that the 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 distress alarm.
After resetting the full alarm, press the RESET switch twice with no alarm condition
to turn off the distress alarm.
LOW BATTERY
In a low battery condition, the SEMS II 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.
In low battery condition, the SEMS II distress alarm will not emit the 3 beeps when
cylinder valve is activated.
While in low battery condition, the SEMS II 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
When the SEMS II PDA is in the off condition (cylinder valve closed with no flashing
lights, the batteries in the entire system can be checked by depressing and holding
the RESET button on the console.
•
A GREEN LED will illuminate on the Control Console, if there is sufficient bat
-
tery power remaining,
•
A RED LED indicates that the batteries are low and must be replaced before
the respirator is to be used again.
If a
low
battery message occurs, ALL batteries must be changed before the respirator
is used again. See the BATTERY REPLACEMENT section of this instruction for details.

DATA LOGGING FEATURE
The SEMS II Distress Alarm PASS device includes on-board electronics which maintain
a running log of event data including start-up, shut-down, and PASS activation. The
SCOTT DATA LOGGER Computer Interface is required to access the information.
Instructions for downloading the data log are SCOTT P/N 595123-01 and are included
with the computer interface.
Use of the SCOTT DATA LOGGER Computer Interface will remove the programmed
RFID card number and will automatically return to the default ID number.
