CAUTION

THE SCBA SYSTEM MUST NOT BE PRESSURIZED 

WHEN BATTERIES ARE BEING INSTALLED. 

DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS 

MAY RESULT IF BATTERIES ARE INSTALLED 

WHEN THE SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED.

An SCBA equipped with a distress alarm requires six (6) “AA” cell batteries 

for operation. The six (6) batteries power the Heads-Up Display, the 

distress alarm, and the Locator System transmitter. The batteries should be 

replaced only by a trained maintenance technician in a clean area known 

to be nonflammable. 

NOTE

UPON RECEIVING 3M SCOTT AIR-PAK SCBA'S, UPDATE THE 

ELECTRONICS TO THE LOCAL TIME ZONE USING SCOTT 

CONNECT CONFIGURE SOFTWARE AND THE 3M SCOTT PAK-LINK 

PROGRAMMER (P/N 200673-01).
Replace batteries as follows:
1. Close the SCBA cylinder valve. Open the regulator purge valve to

let out all the trapped air. Close the regulator purge valve. Press the

reset button twice. If there is air pressure left in the system, the green

light will continue to flash while a fifteen-second beep sequence sounds

from the Sensor Module as the residual air bleeds from the system.

As soon as the air has completely bled from system, the unit sounds a

quick two-tone chirp and the distress alarm will be inactive. If there is

no pressure in the system when the RESET button is pressed twice,

there will be no beep sequence. If there is air pressure in the system,

the distress alarm will return to the active mode.

NOTE

ALWAYS BE SURE THAT CYLINDER VALVE IS OFF AND THE PASS 

DEVICE IS COMPLETELY INACTIVE BEFORE CHANGING BATTERIES. 

NEVER REMOVE OR REPLACE BATTERIES WHEN THE SYSTEM 

IS PRESSURIZED OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO ELECTRONIC 

COMPONENTS.

2.

When replacing batteries on SCBAs, remove the cylinder and place

the SCBA in a clean, non-hazardous area.

3. Use a Phillips driver to remove the Battery Housing Cover as shown in

FIGURE 6. Carefully remove the cover and set aside.

4. Remove the used batteries by sliding them out of the battery

compartment.

5.

Install six (6) fresh new “AA” batteries of the same type. 

Always

replace all batteries at the same time. 

The battery holder is marked

with the style and orientation of the batteries required. See FIGURE 7.

Use six (6) each of one of the following 1.5 volt AA batteries:

Duracell

 Alkaline MN1500

Duracell Alkaline MX1500

Duracell Alkaline PC1500

Duracell Quantum QU1500

Energizer

3

 Alkaline EN91

Energizer Alkaline E91

Do not mix batteries.

 Verify the correct orientation of batteries as shown 

on label inside the battery holder.

WARNING

THE DISTRESS ALARM IS INTENDED TO ASSIST 

IN LOCATING A PERSON WHO MAY BE IN A 

LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION. FAILURE TO 

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPENING 

THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT, CHANGING 

THE BATTERIES, AND CLOSING THE BATTERY 

COMPARTMENT MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE 

THAT COULD CAUSE FAILURE OF THE PASS 

DURING A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY, 

A FIRE, OR AN EXPLOSION IN A FLAMMABLE 

OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE, POSSIBLY 

RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. 

WARNING

BATTERIES MUST ONLY BE CHANGED IN AN 

AREA KNOWN TO BE NONFLAMMABLE.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN A FLAMMABLE 

ATMOSPHERE MAY CAUSE AN IGNITION 

WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY 

OR DEATH.
