WARNING
IF THE LOW BATTERY INDICATION (ONE
STEADY CHIRP EVERY TWO (2) SECONDS
WITH NO FLASHING LIGHTS) OCCURS AT ANY
TIME DURING REGULAR OPERATIONAL IN-
SPECTION, DO NOT USE THE RESPIRATOR.
CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN THE SENSOR
MODULE IMMEDIATELY AND REPEAT THE
REGULAR OPERATIONAL TEST OR TAKE THE
RESPIRATOR OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL THE
BATTERIES ARE CHANGED AND THE REGULAR
OPERATIONAL TEST IS SUCCESSFULLY PER-
FORMED.
Continue with regular operational inspection of respirator as directed by
respirator instructions or your approved respiratory protection plan pro-
cedure. During the inspection the respirator must be moved or turned
every thirty (30) seconds or less to prevent the sounding of the full alarm.
After completion of all respirator checks and before turning off cyl-
inder valve:
1. Check the manual reset of the pre-alarm. Leave the respirator motion-
less until pre-alarm condition occurs. Within twelve (12) seconds press
and hold the reset button. Three (3) chirps shall sound, then release
button. The PAK-ALERT distress alarm shall reset to the automatic mode
and the flashing red light will be replaced by a flashing green light.
2. To check the full alarm, leave the respirator motionless until the pre-
alarm condition occurs. Do not reset.
a) The full alarm shall sound a loud almost continuous 3 tone chirp ac-
companied by flashing of the red signal light on the control console.
b) The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver will sound an alarm and dis-
play the Identification Number of the PAK-ALERT which appears on
the label on the Sensor Module or the Control Console. Use the
SCROLL button on the Hand Held Receiver to highlight the active ID
number and press the ENTER button on the Hand Held Receiver to
select the displayed ID number. Point the unit directly at and in close
proximity to the respirator. The signal strength displayed will be at its
highest value.
4. Reset the full alarm by pressing twice on the reset button located on the
side of the control console (fully depress reset button, release and
press again).
a) The loud alarm shall stop. The unit will sound three chirps and the
green light will flash. The unit shall reset to the automatic mode.
b) The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver will reset to its non-alarm
state.
5. Finish all respirator checks involving air flow and turn off the cylinder
valve. Use the purge valve to release all residual air pressure in the
system.
With the cylinder valve OFF:
1. Check the continuing operation of the PAK-ALERT distress alarm. The
PAK-ALERT distress alarm shall remain active with green light flash-
ing. Do not move respirator, pre-alarm shall occur with twenty (20)
seconds. Move respirator slightly, pre-alarm shall reset, green light shall
start flashing again.
2. To turn the PAK-ALERT distress alarm off, press the reset button twice
(press, release and press again). The green flashing light will go out and
a fifteen (15) second beep sequence will be heard from the sensor mod-
ule. When this sequence is complete, unit will sound a two tone chirp.
The PAK-ALERT distress alarm is now in the “OFF” condition.
