Operation Of The Sems Pda Distress Alarm; The Portable Unit - Scott 2.2 Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

OPERATION OF THE SEMS PDA DISTRESS ALARM

With proper batteries installed and a charged air cylinder, the SEMS
PDA distress alarm (PASS) is automatically activated when the respi-
rator is pressurized by opening the cylinder valve of the respirator. If
batteries are completely discharged or have not been installed, there
will be no light or sound indicating that the unit will not work at all.
Activation is indicated by 3 quick audible chirps from the Sensor Mod-
ule. On activation, a green light located on the Control Console, shown
in FIGURE 3, will begin to flash approximately once a second. The
SEMS PDA distress alarm is now in the automatic mode.

THE PORTABLE UNIT

If the any of the batteries needs replacement, the SEMS PDA distress
alarm will indicate as follows:
• SENSOR MODULE – A single audible chirp from the Sensor Mod-
ule once every 2 seconds and the green light on the control mod-
ule will not flash.
• CONTROL CONSOLE – "BATT" will appear in the display but all
other functions will operate normally.
If any low battery condition appears at start-up, immediately change
all the batteries before use of the respirator. See the BATTERY RE-
PLACEMENT section of this instruction. If a low battery condition ap-
pears while the respirator is in use, the SEMS PDA distress alarm will
continue to operate for a period of time greater then the longest dura-
tion cylinder available for the respirator.
