SEMS II PDR BASE STATION
The SEMS II PDR Base Station consists of a SEMS II Accountability System
Base Station PCMCIA Card installed in a Windows® based Personal Com-
puter, preferably a laptop (not included). SCOTT recommends use of a laptop
computer designed for rugged use.
With the SEMS II Accountability Software running on the PC, the incident
commander has current information about status of the respirator users who
are logged onto the Base Station, including information about air supply lev-
els and PASS activation. Simple dedicated functions in the software control
the transmission and receipt of signals with the respirator users. The same
computer can be used for programming the ID Tags used with the SEMS II
PDA distress alarm.

SEMS II PDA CONTROL CONSOLE
The SEMS II PDA Control Console is inte-
grated into the SCOTT SCBA as a part of
the remote air pressure gauge assembly
which hangs over the right shoulder of the
respirator user. The Control Console also
operates the PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY
SYSTEM (PASS) distress alarm intended
to assist in locating a respirator user who
is incapacitated or in need of assistance.
The PASS distress alarm in this model
reaches FULL ALARM in a total of 30 (thirty)
seconds. The Control Console has a set
of status lights, a dial air pressure gauge,
and three control buttons which can easily
be pressed with gloved hands. Power is
supplied by batteries in the SEMS II PDA
distress alarm battery compartment on the
SCBA backframe.
