USE AS PART OF AN ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
TRAINING 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 SYSTEM
The 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.
