Resumen del manual
FAILURE TO CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE SCBA USER. USE OF A RESPIRATOR INTEGRATED WITH THE SEMS USER ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WILL REQUIRE MODIFICATION OF THE RESPIRATOR "REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES" AND WILL REQUIRE TRAINING OF THE RESPIRATOR USER IN THE USE OF SUCH RESPIRATORS. THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLEMENT BUT DO NOT REPLACE THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH EACH RESPIRATOR. 1 WARNING READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS COMPLETE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING A RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH A SEMS ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. FAILURE TO USE THE SEMS ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. BASE STATION PORTABLE UNIT SENSOR MODULE FIGURE 1 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 / Fiftyself-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The SEMS equipment consists of individual SEMS PDA Portable Units with Control Console attached to the SCOTT AIR-PAK self-contained breathing 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 specific information consists of user identification and status as well as alerts for evacuation. Complete training in the use of the SEMS equipment is required before actual use in a hazardous environment. The SEMS PDA Control Console is integrated into the SCOTT AIRPAK 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) distress alarm intended to assist in locating a respirator user who is incapacitated 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. NOTE USE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 1500, "STANDARD ON FIRE DEPARTMENT OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM." 2 The SEMS PDA distress alarm warns the user when the air supply cylinder has reached 50% of its full capacity and also functions as an electronic end of service time indicator for the respirator by sounding an alarm when the air supply cylinder has been depleted to 25% of its full capacity. The Control Console digital display shows the approximate cylinder pressure. Details of the end of service time indicator operation are also discussed in the Operation and Maintenance instructions provided with the respirator. The SEMS PDR Base Station is a compact battery operated device that can be tripod mounted or carried by a strap. A digital display provides information about status of the respirator users who are logged onto the Base Station. Simple dedicated function buttons control the transmission and receipt of signals with the respirator users. The Base Station can be easily interfaced with a computer for programming and advanced applications. When a respirator user opens the cylinder valve and begins use of an AIR-PAK SCBA equipped with the SEMS PDA, the Portable Unit will automatically begin to operate. If the SEMS PDR Base Station is present at time of entry, the SEMS PDA must log-in with the Base Station before entry into the hazardous area. Contact between the SEMS PDA Portable Unit and the Base Station will continue until the respirator user terminates use of the SCBA. Each installation of SEMS equipment operates as a distinct set of Portable Units and Base Station that transmit and receive on a single frequency. If another installation of SEMS equipment is used in the same area, the operation of each group will remain discreet and separate between Portable Units and Base Stations. The SEMS equipment operates between 453.0375 and 465.6375 MHz on radio channels defined in FCC Title 47 (Telecommunications) Part 90 section 20, Limitation (27) and requirement Part 90.238. Programming of the Portable Units and Base Station is essential and must be performed prior to training and use. See SEMS Programming Guide, SCOTT P/N 89506-01 for complete details of programming the SEMS equipment. The installation of the SCOTT SEMS PDA distress alarm is approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on all models of SCOTT AIR-PAK 2.2 / 3.0 / 4.5 / FiftySCBA. The SCOTT SEMS PDA distress alarm Portable Unit, when added to a SCOTT Air-Pak respirator, as shown in FIGURE XX, consists of a Sen...
