WARNING
DO NOT TAKE THE BASE STATION INTO A

OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. OPERATE THE
BASE STATION ONLY IN A SAFE AREA AWAY
FROM THE HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE WHERE
THE RESPIRATORS ARE BEING USED. USE
OF THE BASE STATION IN A POTENTIALLY
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
MAY CAUSE IGNITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE

WARNING
THE IMPERIUM ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
COMMUNICATES ONLY WITH FIREFIGHTER
RESOURCES (RESPIRATOR USERS) USING A
SCOTT SCBA RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH
THE IMPERIUM ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
INTEGRATED INTO THE PERSONAL DISTRESS
ALARM. OTHER FIREFIGHTER RESOURCES
WHO ARE NOT USING A PROPERLY EQUIPPED
SCOTT RESPIRATOR MAY BE ADDED FOR
ACCOUNTABILITY PURPOSES, BUT THEY
WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY ACCESSIBLE
THROUGH THE COMMUNICATIONS FUNC-
TIONS OF THE IMPERIUM SYSTEM. FAILURE
TO RECOGNIZE THE STATUS OF FIREFIGHTER
RESOURCES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
The EVAC/WITHDRAW, PASS, and RANGE icons that appear on the software display
are the same as the EVAC/WITHDRAW, PASS, and RANGE symbols that appear on
the PDA Control Console display.
When active SEMS II PDA Users are logged into the system and included in the event
activities (moved to the MAIN TACTICAL DISPLAY), they must be part of a TEAM
and the TEAM must be associated with an ASSIGNMENT. As two individuals are as-
sociated with each other, they appear as a TEAM with ability to designate one of the
members as TEAM LEADER. If any member of a TEAM transmits an alert (PASS,
LOW AIR, or OUT-OF-RANGE), the TEAM icon on the screen will indicate RED and
an audible alarm will sound. The Alert information for the individual is available through
the TEAM Details.
When an ASSIGNMENT has been created and an individual is placed on the TACTI-
CAL VIEW Display Screen, that person will be labeled TEAM 1 and associated with
the current ASSIGNMENT. A TEAM should consist of a minimum of two (2) people. If
another individual is placed on the TACTICAL VIEW Display Screen but not associ-
ated with an existing TEAM, that individual will be labeled TEAM 2.
Additional functions include:
1. Accountability for Support Personnel (Non-SEMS II PDA Users by use of RFID
Tags to log into the system).
2. Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) Timer reminder can be set according to
your standard procedures.
3. Event Report to provide an account of event information.
NOTE
ACCESSIBILITY TO SOME SETTINGS MAY BE LIMITED BY YOUR SYSTEM
ADMINISTRATOR TO MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE NATIONAL
STANDARDS OR ESTABLISHED INTERNAL PROCEDURES.
