PRE-ALARM
If the respirator remains motionless for more than twenty (20) seconds, the
PAK-ALERT distress alarm will automatically sound a pre-alarm
When the pre-alarm occurs, the green flashing light on the control console is
replaced by a bright red light which flashes in cadence with pre-alarm tone and
is accompanied by an ascending/descending audible tone which increases
in volume during the pre-alarm cycle. In addition, the lights in the Heads-Up
Display will flash alternately from one side to the other.
If the respirator user is not incapacitated or not in need of assistance, move
the respirator to reset the pre-alarm. When reset, the flashing red light will
be replaced by the flashing green, the ascending/descending tone will stop,
and the Heads-up Display will return to showing the current cylinder pressure.
Remember that the motion sensor is in the Sensor Module on the respirator
backframe beneath the air cylinder. Actual movement of the respirator back-
frame is required to reset the pre-alarm. Shaking the control console will not
reset the PAK-ALERT distress alarm .
To manually reset the pre-alarm, press and hold the reset button on the
side of the control console until three (3) quick audible chirps are heard
and the red flashing light on the control console is replaced by the green
flashing light.
FULL ALARM
If the respirator remains motionless through the twelve (12) second pre-alarm
cycle, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm will go into full alarm. This may indicate
that the user is incapacitated or in need of assistance and can not move.
Full alarm is indicated by a loud, almost continuous 3 tone chirp from the
Sensor Module accompanied by the flashing red signal light on the control
console. Ten (10) seconds after the full alarm condition starts, the Locator
Transmitter will begin to transmit the unique ID number for the unit. After an
additional (10) second delay, the Pak-Tracker Locator transmitter in the unit
will begin transmitting the unique ID number that can be received by the
Pak-Tracker Hand Held Unit. To reset the full alarm condition, press the reset
button
twice
. See FIGURE 4.
After the full alarm has been silenced by pressing the reset button twice, the
PAK-ALERT distress alarm will remain activated in the automatic mode with
the green light flashing once per second. As long as the respirator is pres
-
surized, there must be movement of the respirator at least every twenty (20)
seconds or the distress alarm will again go into pre-alarm followed by full
alarm as described above.
MANUAL ALARM
If the respirator user requires immediate assistance, pressing the manual alarm
button located on the front of the control console will immediately sound the
full alarm. See FIGURE 4. The manual alarm may be activated at any time,
even when the respirator is not pressurized.
If the manual alarm is activated when the respirator is not pressurized, press
the reset button
twice
to silence the alarm. The PAK-ALERT distress alarm will
remain on in automatic mode. To turn the unit off, press the reset
twice
again
while the unit is not in alarm mode. In manual alarm mode, the Pak-Tracker
Locator transmitter in the unit will begin transmitting the unique ID number
that can be received by the Pak-Tracker Hand Held Unit with NO delay.
Remember, the loud audible alarm and flashing red light can be turned on at
any time by pressing the manual alarm button on the control console.
