PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM
The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm consists of a Sensor Module mounted
to the bottom of the respirator backframe and a control console mounted on
the wearer’s right shoulder strap at the pressure gauge location. The SCOTT
PAK-ALERT distress alarm reaches full alarm in a total of thirty (30) seconds
after detecting that the respirator user is motionless. The alarm may also be
activated manually.
The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm is approved by the National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on all models of SCOTT SCBA
except as specied in the limitations of use on the SCBA approval label and in
the SCBA Operating and Maintenance Instructions. The PAK-ALERT distress
alarm is approved under NFPA 1982, 2013 edition as a PASS device when
used on an approved SCOTT respirator.
NIOSH certied SCBA’s are limited to a maximum weight of 35 lbs. When the
PAK-ALERT distress alarm is used with a one hour duration SCOTT SCBA,
either the Kevlar

wrapped one hour cylinder and valve assemblies, (SCOTT P/N 804107-01
or P/N 802827-01), will exceed 35 lbs.

tor or from SCOTT SAFETY.
