WARNING
CONTINUED TRAINING AND PRACTICE IN A
VARIETY OF SITUATIONS IS ESSENTIAL TO
DEVELOPING THE SKILLS TO PROPERLY IN-
TERPRET THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY
THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM. USE
OF THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT TRAINING AND
PRACTICE MAY JEOPARDIZE ALL PERSONNEL
INVOLVED WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
Successful operation of the PAK-TRACKER Locator system depends heavily on the
interpretation of the relative signal strength information displayed on the Hand Held
Receiver along with all other available information about the possible location of the
activated transmitter.
The Hand Held Receiver is very sensitive in responding to small differences in signal
strength. The relative strength of the Transmitter signal detected by the Hand Held
Receiver will vary depending on:
1. The distance from the Transmitter to the Hand Held Receiver,
2. The path the Transmitter signal has taken to get to the Hand Held Receiver,
3. The materials between the Transmitter and the Hand Held Receiver which may
have affected the signal from the Transmitter.
The user of the Hand Held Receiver must interpret the readings on the Hand Held
Receiver display along with other information, such as:
– training and knowledge in systematic search and rescue techniques,
– their sense of sight (watch where you are going),
– their sense of sound (listen for an activated PASS device),
– the deployment of the missing personnel,
– knowledge of the building layout and building materials,
Do not rely solely on the readings from the Hand Held Receiver to locate the activated
Transmitter.
Refer to the PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions, SCOTT P/N 595102-01
for complete details on the use of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System.
When a SEMS II Control Console has been programmed with the user’s RFID Tag, the
PAK-TRACKER locator system will display the first eight characters of the Employee ID
number as programmed on the RFID Tag. The first eight (8) characters of the Employee
ID number on the RFID Tag must be unique to that individual. Use a badge number or
some other identifier that is not shared by anyone else. Using a unique number in the
first eight (8) characters will assure that searchers using the PAK-TRACKER locator
system will not see two signals with the same number displayed.
If the RFID Tag is not used, PAK-TRACKER locator system will display the default
eight digit ID number which appears on a label beside the cable connection on the
Sensor Module. This default number can be reprogrammed using the SCOTT Pak-
Link Computer Interface. Refer to the Pak-Link Computer Interface Installation and
Use Instructions, SCOTT P/N 595123-01, for complete details.
To return to the default ID number and remove the programmed RFID card number,
proceed as follows:
1. Verify that the air cylinder is closed and there is no residual air in the system.
2. Verify that the electronics have been inactive for at lease thirty (30) seconds.
3. Press and hold the YELLOW button on the Console for eight (8) seconds until
the red LEDS begin flashing alternately.
In addition, the unit will automatically return to the default ID number:
– if the battery cover is opened and/or the batteries are removed,
OR
– after twenty-four hours.
SCOTT recommends re-programming with the RFID card in accordance with your orga-
nization's procedures to assure that the user's unique ID number is in use at all times.
