ACTION, IT MAY LEAD TO CIRCUMSTANCES
THAT RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

3M SCOTT PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM
The 3M Scott Pak-Alert (the distress alarm) is a Personal Alert Safety
System (PASS) intended to assist in locating an SCBA user who
is incapacitated or in need of assistance. The distress alarm, P/N
201160-SERIES, is for use on the 3M Scott Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA. This
line of electronic accessories is for use by fire fighters, first responders,
domestic preparedness and law enforcement officers, as well as industrial
and hazardous material users.
The distress alarm consists of a Sensor Module mounted to the bottom of
the SCBA backframe and a control console mounted on the wearer’s right
shoulder strap at the pressure gauge location. The distress alarm reaches
full alarm in a total of thirty (30) seconds after detecting that the SCBA user
is motionless. The alarm may also be activated manually.
The distress alarm is approved by the National Institute of Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) on models of 3M Scott Fire & Safety SCBAs
except as specified in the limitations of use on the SCBA approval label
and in the SCBA operating and maintenance instructions. The distress
alarm is approved under NFPA 1982, 2018 edition as a PASS device when
used on an approved 3M Scott Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA.
NIOSH certified SCBAs are limited to a maximum weight of 35 lbs. When
the distress alarm is used with a one-hour duration 3M Scott Air-Pak X3
Pro SCBA, either the Kevlar® fiber
1
wrapped (P/N 804222-01) or carbon-
wrapped (P/N 804723-XX) cylinder and valve assembly must be used
to keep the total weight under 35 lbs. limit. Using the distress alarm with
fiberglass wrapped one hour cylinder and valve assemblies (P/N 804107-
01) will exceed 35 lbs.
Installation of a distress alarm on a 3M Scott Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA requires
some disassembly of the SCBA. Installation instructions are included with
the field installation kit available from the company or your distributor
.
