Scott PAK-LINK Installation And Use Instruction

INSTALLATION AND USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
SCOTT PAK-LINK™ COMPUTER INTERFACE
TO USE THE DATA LOGGER AND ID UPDATER FEATURES WITH PROPERLY EQUIPPED
SCOTT AIR-PAK® SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
DESCRIPTION
These instructions cover the following TWO software
programs on SCOTT software disk P/N 31001371.
DATA LOGGER
Software within the PAK-ALERT SE 7 distress alarm maintains a Data Log in a nonvolatile memory of a select set of
events of PASS operation in the course of normal use of the respirator. The memory has a capacity of over 2000 events.
When the capacity is met, new events will be written over the oldest events in the log. The events of primary use include:
Off To Sensing – Date and time stamp when the PASS sensing mode is activated
Sensing to Pre-Alarm – Date and time stamp when the PASS switches from the sensing mode to the pre-alarm
mode
Pre-Alarm To Alarm – Date and time stamp when the PASS switches from the pre-alarm mode to the alarm mode
Alarm Reset – Date and time stamp when the PASS alarm mode is reset to sensing mode
Manual Alarm – Date and time stamp when the PASS is manually put in alarm mode
Low Battery – Date and time stamp when the PASS low power supply warning signal activates
Sensing To Off – Date and time stamp when the PASS is turned to the off mode
The Data Log also records certain information including Clock Reset Pending, Clock Reset, and Power On Reset.
The data logging information can be downloaded by the emergency services organizations' personnel using the PAK-
LINK Computer Interface connected to a personal computer USB connection equipped with the SCOTT Data Logger
®
Software and Microsoft Excel
The date and time in the PAK-ALERT SE 7 distress alarm Data Logger software are set initially at the factory. An internal
back-up battery will maintain the date and time setting when the PASS batteries are removed or changed. However,
each time the data is downloaded, the date and time on the distress alarm are automatically reset (Clock Reset) to the
date and time as they appear on the personal computer. SCOTT strongly recommends that each new respirator be run
through the Data Logger downloading procedure in this instruction to set the date and time to your local time zone before
the unit is put into service. This procedure should also be followed if the respirator is left unused for more than six weeks.
PAK-LINK ID UPDATER FOR SCOTT DISTRESS ALARMS
The PAK-ALERT SE 7 distress alarm comes factory programmed with an identification number unique to that unit. This
is the "Device" number that appears when downloading the Data Log. This identification number can be reprogrammed
to a combination of up to eight characters (letters and/or numbers) using the SCOTT PAK-LINK ID Updater Software on
a personal computer with the same PAK-LINK computer interface. The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System integrated
into a SCOTT PAK-ALERT Distress Alarm also uses the same ID number, so this software can be used to reprogram the
ID for respirators equipped with that function as well.
