PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM
The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System is a two part electronic system
consisting of a PAK-TRACKER Transmitter integrated into the SCOTT SEMS II
distress alarm, and a PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver, which is a directional
receiver used to locate the signal coming from the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter. The
PAK-TRACKER locator system transmitter is activated with the PASS alarm. The
transmitter emits a radio signal with a unique ID number that can be tracked using
the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver unit.
The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver is then used as a directional receiver to
assist in leading the rescue team to the activated transmitter. By pointing the PAK-
TRACKER Hand Held Receiver in the direction of the strongest relative signal, the
rescue crew can follow the signal toward the respirator user who is incapacitated or
in need of assistance.
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 miss-
ing 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 the limitations of
the locator system before entering a potentially hazardous or life threatening situation.
The PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions, SCOTT part number 595102-
01, contain essential information on the use of the locator system and must be used as
the basis of training for use of the whole system including use with a SEMS II distress
alarm equipped with the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter. The PAK-TRACKER Locator
System User Instructions include an overview of the system operation, limitations of
the system, as well as any user level maintenance for the PAK-TRACKER Locator
System equipment. Copies of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System User Instructions
are available from your SCOTT distributor or from SCOTT Safety.
All User Instructions are provided on the software CD in Adobe Acrobat
