DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System is a two-part electronic system
consisting of the radio transmitter in specially-equipped PAK-ALERT distress
alarms and the directional receiver (Hand Held Receiver) used to locate the
signal coming from the transmitter.
ThePAK-ALERTPersonalAlert Safety System (PASS) equipped with the PAK-
TRACKER Locator System is available as part of a Scott Safety self-contained
breathingapparatus(SCBA)respirator.Thisline of electronic accessories is for
use by re ghters, rst responders, domestic preparedness and law enforce-
ment ofcers, as well as HAZ-MAT and industrial users. An SCBA equipped
with the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System can be identied by the two
red covers on the Sensor Module.
If a user of a Scott Safety SCBA with the PAK-TRACKER Locator System is
incapacitated for any reason and does not move for a predetermined period of
time, the PAK-ALERT detects the lack of motion from the wearer and goes into
alarmmode.Upon activation, the unit produces both audible and visual alarms.
Ashort time after activation of the alarms, the unit begins transmitting a signal
with a unique ID number that can be received by the Hand Held Receiver. The
user may also select the manual alarm to activate the transmitter.
When the Hand Held Receiver receives a transmitted signal from a transmit-
ter, an audible alarm sounds to indicate that a transmitter has gone into alarm
mode. It also includes an LCD Display to show the ID numbers of all activated
transmitters. The Hand Held Receiver is then used as a directional receiver to
lead the rescue crew to the downed, trapped, or lost user.Arow of lights on the
Hand Held Receiver display indicates the strength and therefore the relative
direction of the signal from the transmitter. By pointing the Hand Held Receiver
in the direction of the strongest signal, the rescue crew can follow the signal
to the downed user.
Use of this equipment must be part of a complete personnel accountability
system that includes procedures for monitoring the deployment and condition
of all users. Do not rely on the PAK-TRACKER Locator System as the only
techniquefor locating missing personnel. Failure tousethisequipment properly
mayactually increase the time needed to locate andrescuepersonnel.Training
and practice in realistic emergency simulations is required before use of this
equipment. The users must become thoroughly familiar with the operation and

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF THE PAK-TRACKER
LOCATOR SYSTEM
TheScott SafetyPAK-TRACKERLocatorSystem is atwo part electronicsystem
consisting of a Hand Held Receiver and a radio transmitter.
When a transmitter is activated, it sends out a radio signal in all directions that
is received by the Hand Held Receiver. Understanding how the radio signal
from a transmitter behaves and how the Hand Held Receiver receives and
displays the strength of that signal are critical to understanding the operation
of the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System.
Successful operation of the PAK-TRACKER Locator System depends heavily
on the interpretation of the relative signal strength information displayed on the
HandHeld Receiver along withallother available informationaboutthe possible
location of the activated transmitter.
The Hand Held Receiver is very sensitive in responding to small differences in
signal strength. The relative strength of the transmitter signal detected by the
Hand Held Receiver will vary depending on the following:
1. The distance from the transmitter to the Hand Held Receiver
2. The path the transmitter signal has taken to get to the Hand Held Receiver
3. The materials between the transmitter and the Hand Held Receiver which
may have affected the signal from the transmitter
The user of the Hand Held Receiver must interpret the readings on the Hand
Held Receiver display along with other information, such as
– training and knowledge in systematic search and rescue techniques
– his/her sense of sight (watch where he/she is going)
– his/her sense of sound (listen for an activated PASS device)
– the deployment of the missing personnel
– knowledge of the building layout and building materials
– any other pertinent information available on the scene

Page 7 of 24 P/N 595278-01 Rev B 2/18
Do not rely solely on the readings from the Hand Held Receiver to locate
the activated transmitter.
The LCD Display indicates the ID number of the activated transmitter and
the Number Display indicates the relative strength of the signal with numbers
from 1 to 99. A higher number indicates the stronger signal and, therefore,
the approximate direction of the signal from the transmitter. Pointing the
Hand Held Receiver in the direction of the strongest relative signal and moving
in that direction should lead to the activated transmitter.
Use the signal strength numbers below 50 to establish a general direction to
proceed. Practice is required to interpret these low signal strength numbers
because they may arrive at the receiver from many different directions. Look
for broad increases in signal strength; for example, look for an increase from
20 to 30 as signicant. Do not try to interpret small changes, such as the dif-
ference between readings of 20 and 21. Larger increases are a more reliable
indicator of the direction to the strongest signal.
When the signal strength number is 51 or higher, the PAK-TRACKER Receiver
will produce a variable pitch tone once per second that corresponds to the
signal strength:Astronger signal willproduce a higher pitchtone and a weaker
signal will produce a lower pitch tone.
The higher numbers indicate a stronger signal, but still require practice to
interpret. Try to identify a path where the variable pitch tone is both active con-
sistently and continues to get higher in pitch. Again, look for broad increases
in signal strength to be signicant.
Use a Read-Interpret-Follow process while watching the digital display
for the highest number and listening for the highest pitch of the tone as an
indication of the strongest radio signal.
Always update training with each new piece of equipment. Even if users have
trained with PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver before, new equipment may
have different operating characteristics that users must become familiar with
before entering an emergency or hazardous situation.

BASIC OPERATION OF THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR
SYSTEM
To turn on the Hand Held Receiver, press and hold both the ENTER and
the SCROLL buttons at the same time (see FIGURE 1). All lights will go on
briey for a self test after which the LCD Display will show two dotted lines.
To turn on the PAK-ALERT distress alarm equipped with the PAK-TRACKER
Locator System, open the air cylinder fully. Refer to the complete instructions
provided with the Scott Safety SCBA and the PAK-ALERT distress alarm.
If the respirator equipped with the PAK-ALERT distress alarm is motionless
for thirty (30) seconds, an alarm activates and transmits a signal with the
transmitter’s unique identication number.
When the Hand Held Receiver receives the signal from a transmitter, it sounds
analarm.To track that ID number, make sure the ID number is on the topline of
the LCD Display and press the ENTER button once. The LCD Display shows
that you have entered the search mode.
If two or more transmitters are activated and transmitting, press and hold the
SCROLL button for three (3) seconds and continue to hold until the ID number
of the transmitter you want to track appears in the top line of the LCD Display.
Arrows appear at each side of the display to indicate that three or more transmit-
ters are activated and transmitting. Release the SCROLLbutton and then press
the ENTER button once to select the top ID number to track. See FIGURE1.
To change the ID number you want to track, press and hold the SCROLL
button for one (1) second and release to exit SEARCH mode. Press and hold
the SCROLL button for three (3) seconds until the new ID number you want to
track appears in the top row of the display. Release the SCROLL button and
press the ENTER button once to select the new ID number to track.

BEGIN THE SEARCH
To begin searching, hold the Hand Held Receiver horizontally at waist height
in front of you. The row of LED’s and the Number Display on the Hand Held
Receiverindicatetherelative strength and, therefore, the approximate direction
of the signal from the transmitter. The Number Display shows numbers from 0
to 99, where the higher number indicates the stronger signal being received.
Pointing the Hand Held Receiver in the direction of the strongest relative signal
and moving in that direction should lead to the activated transmitter. When the
signal strength rises above the number 50 level, the row of LED’s will begin to
light starting with red at the bottom, yellow in the middle, and green at the top.
The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver averages four readings per second.
Use a Read-Interpret-Follow process while watching the digital display for the
highestnumber asan indicationofthe strongestradio signal.If therearefeatures
such as doors, hallways, openings, or windows, take readings at each feature
to determine a possible general direction for the signal. If you use a sweeping
motion, sweep very slowly in a horizontal direction rst. Sweep vertically if
you suspect that the signal may be coming from a higher or lower oor in the
building. Always pause for a reading. Sweeping too fast may average a high
reading with a low reading, resulting in misleading information.
Always move toward the highest relative signal strength displayed. In general,
the closer you get to the transmitter, the higher the relative signal strength.
Multiple signal paths are possible. See FIGURE 2. The relative signal strength
must be interpreted with all other available information. The transmitter signal
will pass through some materials, reect off some materials, and be absorbed
by others.

SUGGESTED USES OF THE PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR
SYSTEM
At an incident, the Rescue Team must assess the situation and position them-
selves to monitor the locations of the active members of the incident crew.Turn
on the Hand Held Receiver immediately and actively scan the incident scene
for any signal from an activated transmitter.Asignal from a transmitter may be
evident at a greater distance than an audible PASS device. Periodically, use
the Hand Held Receiver to check windows and doors for any sign of a signal.
When a transmitter is transmitting a signal and the Hand Held Receiver re-
sponds, assess the situation rst to determine the safest method to approach
the search and rescue operation.
The member of the Rescue Team who is operating the Hand Held Receiver
must be at the front of the team to prevent signal interference from the other
members of the team. The other members of the team must ensure the safety
ofthe member using the Hand Held Receiver by maintaining situational aware-
ness and watching for potential hazards.
Followthis searchandrescue processwiththe PAK-TRACKER LocatorSystem:
READ—Hold the Hand Held Receiver pointed at features such as doors,
windows, or halls. Look for the highest relative signal strength as shown in the
display on the Hand Held Receiver.
INTERPRET—Decide where the strongest signal appears to be coming from
and how best to get there.
FOLLOW—Move toward the strongest signal while continuing to READ, IN-
TERPRET, and FOLLOW.
To locate an activated transmitter in a building, point the Hand Held Receiver
at the windows and doors to locate the maximum relative signal on the display.
Include pointing at windows on upper oors of the building if the user could be
on upper oors. Enter the building as close as possible to the area where the
HandHeld Receiver indicatedthetransmitter could be andcompletethe search.
Successfuloperation ofthe PAK-TRACKER LocatorSystemis highlydependent
on the interpretation of the relative signal strength information displayed on the
Hand Held Receiver along with all other available information about the pos-
sible location of the activated transmitter including procedures for monitoring
the deployment and condition of all users.
Continuedtrainingandpracticeinavarietyofsituationsisessentialtodevelop-
ingthe skillstoproperly interprettheinformation providedbythe PAK-TRACKER

The transmitter signal will usually pass through
• openings such as gaps, holes, stairways, windows, or elevator shafts
• glass
• wood
• light building materials
The transmitter signal will reect off
• metal, including structural framework
• large metal objects
• concrete walls or oors
• brick or concrete block construction
The transmitter signal will be absorbed by the human body.
NOTE
THE PERSON USING THE HAND HELD RECEIVER MUST ALWAYS BE AT

tion procedures dened in your respirator instructions. If any malfunction of the
respirator, the PAK-ALERT distress alarm, or the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held
Receiverisnotedduringtheinspection, remove the respirator from service and
tag it for repair by authorized personnel.
To test the PAK-TRACKER locator transmitter, you must have an operating
SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver.
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. Turn on the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver according to
the operating instructions provided with the unit. Position the Hand Held
Receiver nearby.
3. With the cylinder valve closed, press the manual alarm button, located on
the front of the distress alarm control console.
a) The manual alarm sounds a loud, almost continuous, 3-tone chirp
accompanied by ashing of the red signal light on the control console.
b) ThePAK-TRACKERHand HeldReceiversoundsanalarm anddisplays

twice. The unit will sound a two-tone chirp, and the green light will go out.
6. Open the cylinder valve to pressurize the respirator system. The distress
alarm sounds 3 quick chirps, and the light on the control console ashes
green about once per second. The 3 chirps sound at 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 the respirator motionless for twenty (20)
seconds. The green ashing light is replaced by a red ashing light. An
ascending/descending tone sounds, 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-ALERT distress alarm resets to the automatic
mode. The red ashing light is replaced by a green ashing light and the
ascending/descending tone stops.

DETECTING AND AVOIDING RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE
When any electronic device is adversely affected by radio waves, radio
frequency interference (RFI) is said to have occurred. All electronic devices
like the Hand Held Receiver or a PAK-TRACKER transmitter may be subject
totheeffectsof RFI. Radio transmissions from the antennas of radios including
those used by re ghters, police, and other public safety related personnel
may produce RFI that can affect the Hand Held Receiver or a PAK-TRACKER
transmitter. RFI may occur if a Hand Held Receiver or a PAK-TRACKER
transmitter is in close proximity to a transmitting base station or high-powered
vehicle mounted radio, or if the antenna of a personal portable hand held radio
is touching or within six (6) inches of the Hand Held Receiver or the PAK-
TRACKER transmitter. See FIGURES 3 AND 4.

If the PAK-TRACKER Locator System exhibits any of the symptoms of RFI,
identify the source of the RFI and do the following:
–Ifthe symptomsofRFI occurwhenstanding nearabase station transmitting
antenna or a truck mounted radio antenna, move away from the antenna
until the symptoms stop.
–Ifthesymptoms of RFI occur while transmitting on a hand-held radio, move
theradio away fromtheHand Held Receiver orPAK-TRACKER transmitter.
Be aware of the symptoms of RFI.A Hand Held Receiver affected by RFI may
temporarily stop operation. When the source of the RFI is removed, the Hand
Held Receiver will immediately return to normal operation
.
In some circumstances after experiencing RFI, it may be necessary to remove
the Hand Held Receiver from service. In a known safe, non-hazardous
area, remove and reinstall the batteries to reset the unit (see the BATTERY
CHARGING, INSTALLATION, AND REPLACEMENT section of this instruction).
Then inspect and return the unit to service.
IF THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI OCCUR, THE USER MUST CHECK THE HAND
HELD RECEIVER TO VERIFY THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
IF THE HAND HELD RECEIVER DOES NOT RESUME OPERATING
NORMALLY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI, OR IF THE
UNIT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION IN ANY OTHER WAY, REMOVE THE
HAND HELD RECEIVER FROM SERVICE AND TAG IT FOR RETURN TO
SCOTT SAFETY OR YOUR AUTHORIZED SCOTT SAFETY DEALER OR
DISTRIBUTOR FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.
Although the PAK-TRACKER transmitter’s operation will not likely be affected
by RFI, the radio signal from a PAK-TRACKER transmitter may be temporarily
blocked by the more powerful radio signal from an active hand-held radio held
in close proximity.
Minimize or eliminate the effects of RFI by protecting the Hand Held Receiver
with the following steps:
– Maintain a safe distance from a base station transmitting antenna or a truck
mounted radio antenna.
– Keep the antennas of hand held radios at least six (6) inches away from the
Hand Held Receiver and the PAK-TRACKER transmitters. See FIGURES
3 and 4.
Refer to the DETECTING AND AVOIDING RADIO INTERFERENCE section
of the user instructions provided with the PAK-ALERT distress alarm equipped
with the PAK-TRACKER Locator System for details of the effect of RFI on that
equipment.
GUIDELINES FOR PAK-TRACKER TRANSMITTERS
When they are not in use, the transmitters should be turned off to prevent
them from interfering with sensitive equipment such as in hospital or health
care facilities.
The PAK-TRACKER transmitters should be kept a minimum of six (6) inches
away from pacemakers. Turn the transmitter off immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
If there are any other medical devices present when using a transmitter, con-
sult with the manufacturer of the device to determine it is adequately shielded
from RFI.
WARNING
IF THEHAND HELD RECEIVER DOESNOT RESUME
OPERATING NORMALLY AFTER EXPERIENCING
THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI, OR IF THE UNIT CON-
TINUES TO MALFUNCTION IN ANY OTHER WAY,
REMOVE THE HAND HELD RECEIVER FROM
SERVICEAND TAG IT FOR RETURNTO THE MANU-
FACTURER FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. USE
OF A MALFUNCTIONING HAND HELD RECEIVER
