6. 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.
7. 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.
8. After the pre-alarm condition occurs, check the pre-alarm reset. Within
twelve (12) seconds of the pre-alarm, move the respirator to activate the
motion sensor. The PAK-TRACKER Locator System specially equipped
PAK-ALERT distress alarm shall reset to the automatic mode. The red
ashing light shall be replaced by a green ashing light and the ascend-
ing/descending tone shall stop.
Continue with regular operational inspection of respirator as directed by
respirator instructions or your approved respiratory protection plan proce-
dure. 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 the
cylinder valve:
1. Check the manual reset of the pre-alarm. Leave the respirator motionless
until pre-alarm condition occurs. Within twelve (12) seconds press and
hold the reset button. Three (3) chirps shall sound, then release button.
The distress alarm shall reset to the automatic mode and the ashing red
light will be replaced by a ashing 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 accom-
panied by ashing of the red signal light on the control console.
b) The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver will sound an alarm and display
the Identication Number of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System spe-
cially equipped PAK-ALERT distress alarm 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.
3. 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 ash. The unit shall reset to the automatic mode.
b) The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver will reset to its non-alarm
state.
4. Finish all respirator checks involving air ow and turn off the cylinder valve.
Use the purge valve to release all residual air pressure in the system.
