REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
INSPECTION OF A PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM
NOTE
IN SEVERAL OF THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES DESCRIBED A
FULL ALARM WILL BE OBSERVED. THE FULL ALARM CONDITION
INCLUDES AN AUDIBLE TONE THAT CAN EXCEED 95 DBA AT 3 ME-
TERS (9.9 FT.). TO PREVENT POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE DURING
TEST, IMMEDIATELY RESET THE ALARM ON VERIFICATION THAT IT
IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WEAR HEARING PROTECTION IF PRO-

NOTE
IF THIS INSPECTION IS DONE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT IT MAY BE HELPFUL
TO SHADE THE LENS ON THE CONTROL CONSOLE WITH YOUR HAND
TO BE SURE THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AS DESCRIBED.
1. While performing the visual inspection of the respirator, visually inspect
all distress alarm enclosures, lenses, and wire conduits for cracks, wear
or other damage. If any damage is found, remove the respirator from
service and tag for repair by qualied personnel.
2. With the cylinder valve closed, press the manual alarm button, located
on the front of the distress alarm control console. The manual alarm shall
sound a loud almost continuous 3 tone chirp accompanied by ashing of
the red signal light on the control console.
3. Reset the manual alarm by pressing twice on the reset button located
on the side of the control console (fully depress reset button, release
and press again). The unit will sound three chirps and the green light
will ash.
4. Turn the PAK-ALERT distress alarm OFF by pressing the reset button
twice again. The unit will sound a two tone chirp and the green light will
go out.
5. Open the cylinder valve to pressurize the respirator system. The distress
alarm shall sound 3 quick chirps and the light on the control console
shall begin ashing green about once a second. The 3 chirps will sound
approximately the same time the VIBRALERT in the mask mounted
regulator actuates briey. Make sure the air ow is stopped by pressing
the air saver/donning switch.
6. To check the pre-alarm, leave respirator motionless for twenty (20) sec-
onds. The green ashing light shall be replaced by a red ashing light.
An ascending/descending tone will sound increasing in volume. Leave
the respirator motionless.
