DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System is a two-part electronic system
consisting of the radio transmitter in specially-equipped PAK-ALERT distress
alarms and the directional receiver (Hand Held Receiver) used to locate the
signal coming from the transmitter.
The PAK-ALERT Personal Alert Safety System (PASS) equipped with the PAK-
TRACKER Locator System is available as part of a Scott Safety self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) respirator. This line of electronic accessories is for
use by fire fighters, first responders, domestic preparedness and law enforce -
ment officers, as well as HAZ-MAT and industrial users. An SCBA equipped
with the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System can be identified by the two
red covers on the Sensor Module.
If a user of a Scott Safety SCBA with the PAK-TRACKER Locator System is
incapacitated for any reason and does not move for a predetermined period of
time, the PAK-ALERT detects the lack of motion from the wearer and goes into
alarm mode. Upon activation, the unit produces both audible and visual alarms.
A short time after activation of the alarms, the unit begins transmitting a signal
with a unique ID number that can be received by the Hand Held Receiver. The
user may also select the manual alarm to activate the transmitter.
When the Hand Held Receiver receives a transmitted signal from a transmit-
ter, an audible alarm sounds to indicate that a transmitter has gone into alarm
mode. It also includes an LCD Display to show the ID numbers of all activated
transmitters. The Hand Held Receiver is then used as a directional receiver to
lead the rescue crew to the downed, trapped, or lost user. A row of lights on the
Hand Held Receiver display indicates the strength and therefore the relative
direction of the signal from the transmitter. By pointing the Hand Held Receiver
in the direction of the strongest signal, the rescue crew can follow the signal
to the downed user.
Use of this equipment must be part of a complete personnel accountability
system that includes procedures for monitoring the deployment and condition
of all users. Do not rely on the PAK-TRACKER Locator System as the only
technique for locating missing personnel. Failure to use this equipment properly
may actually increase the time needed to locate and rescue personnel. Training
and practice in realistic emergency simulations is required before use of this
equipment. The users must become thoroughly familiar with the operation and
WARNING
ALWAYS MAINTAIN AWARENESS OF LOCATION
AND ESCAPE ROUTES WHEN USING THIS DEVICE.
