SEMS II PRO OVERVIEW

The SEMS II Pro system is a wireless SCBA telemetry system that provides
monitoring of and communication between respirator users in a hazardous area
and an incident commander or other designated person outside the hazardous area
(at the Base Station).
The complete system consists of:
• PASS Device: A Personal Alert Safety System (PASS) device on a
compatible self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) such as the 3M
Scott Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA
respirator backframe, the PASS device monitors the motion of respirator
backframe and initiates visible and audible warnings when the user is
motionless for a short period of time or when manually activated by the
user.
• Pak-Tracker Locator System: A two-part electronic system consisting of a
radio transmitter and a Hand Held Receiver (HHR) to locate the transmitted
signal from an activated PASS device within 1100 feet.
• Sensor Module Assembly: Electronics control module for battery power,
audio (alarm tones), the Pak-Tracker radio transmitter, data logging,
wireless communications, and the motion sensor.
Installation of the PASS device is approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety

and Health (NIOSH) on specific models of 3M Scott Fire & Safety SCBAs
