DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT Electronic Management System (SEMS) provides a
method of communication between respirator users in a hazardous
area and a designated person outside of the hazardous area. The
SCOTT SEMS PDA Personal Distress Alarm is an optional accessory
which is intended to be integrated only with SCOTT AIR-PAK® 2.2 /
3.0 / 4.5 /
Fifty
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The SEMS
equipment consists of individual SEMS PDA Portable Units with Con-
trol Console attached to the SCOTT AIR-PAK self-contained breath-
ing apparatus and a SEMS PDR Personal Distress Receiver Base
Station. The equipment can transmit and receive specific information
between the respirator users and the Base Station operator. The spe-
cific information consists of user identification and status as well as
alerts for evacuation. Complete training in the use of the SEMS equip-
ment is required before actual use in a hazardous environment.
The SEMS PDA Control Console is integrated into the SCOTT AIR-
PAK SCBA as a part of the remote air pressure gauge which hangs
over the right shoulder of the respirator user. The Control Console
also operates the PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY SYSTEM (PASS) dis-
tress alarm intended to assist in locating a respirator user who is inca-
pacitated or in need of assistance. The Control Console has a set of
status lights, a four character digital display, a dial air pressure gauge,
and three control buttons which can easily be pressed with gloved
hands. Power is supplied by batteries in both the Control Console and
in the SEMS PDA distress alarm battery compartment on the SCBA
backframe.
