4. EVACUATION (SEMS II ONLY)
a. If the respirator users are required to leave the hazardous area,
the base station operator can send an evacuation message to the
Portable Units of logged-in respirator users. This message can be
sent either to all logged-in users (EVAC ALL), to everyone on an
Assignment (EVAC ASSIGN), to everyone in a geographic DIVISION
(EVAC BLDG) or to an individual logged-in users as selected from
the TEAM Details (EVAC).
b. The Portable Unit will emit the alert sound and the EVAC symbol will
begin flashing RED on the Control Console.
c. When an EVAC symbol begins flashing on the Control Console, the
respirator user must press twice the Yellow RESET button on the
Control Console to respond to the evacuation message. The EVAC
symbol on the Control Console will turn ON solid RED until the user
leaves the hazardous area and shuts down the respirator. The res-
pirator user's EVAC symbol in the TEAM Details on the Display will
change from RED to WHITE to indicate acknowledgement.
Evacuation message will ONLY be sent to individual SEMS II PDA users or to
the QUEUE interface. EVAC notice will not send to user while in BLUETOOTH

will be deactivated when no SEMS II Gateway is connected to the Base Station.

holding the Gray WITHDRAW button for at least two seconds will send that

Station.
b. When the Base Station receives a user WITHDRAW message, the Base
Station Operator selects the ACK W/D button.

Console will turn ON steady until user leaves hazardous area and shuts
down the respirator.

AIR warning with an audible alarm. .

pleted. This LOW AIR alarm is in addition to the other end-of-service indicators
on the respirator.

longer required, doff the respirator according the user instructions provided
with the respirator.

pressure in the system.
