OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Test PASS for proper operation
before each use. Replace battery
when warning sounds. Use only rec-
ommended battery type as defined
inside battery compartment.
Most performance properties of the
DragonFly cannot be tested by the
user in the field. Use this PASS in
accordance with NFPA 1500, ANSI
A88.2 and Z88.5.
Change battery in non-hazardous
area only.
Failure to follow the above can result
in serious personal injury or death.
1. Clip the DragonFly SA unit to a
belt in a suitable position.
2. To activate, remove key.
3. To reset pre-alarm, shake device.
4. To sound full alarm, press alarm
button once OR remain motionless
for 30 seconds if unit is activated.
5. To reset full alarm, press either
side button twice.
6. To deactivate, first insert key, then
press reset (switch on right side)
twice.
7. When the battery is near the end
of its life the “Low Battery
Warning” will sound. This is a
short “beep” every five seconds.
Replace with the correct battery.
THERMAL ALARM
The DragonFly SA PASS will monitor
temperature conditions (If the Heat
Sensor option is included). The
DragonFly SA is equipped with a ther-
mistor that triggers an alarm at preset
time/temperature limits. The alarm
sounds the same as the signal heard
when unit is turned on. Once the ther-
mal alarm is activated it will be repeat-
ed every few seconds. The following
curve approximates the performance
of the Dragonfly SA thermal alarm. The
time/temperature limits are based on
the Project Fires Temperature curve.
The thermal alarm will sound if the
time/temperature exceeds the curve.
The alarm will self-cancel after a peri-
od of time depending on the severity
of the condition. This may occur even
though the temperature is above the
thermal curve.
Although this thermal alarm pro-
vides an indication that the
time/temperature curve is exceed-
ed, the curve may not represent the
threshold to injury due to variations
in individuals and the protective
clothing worn. Use this alarm as a
reference only to increasing
time/temperature. It should not be
a substitute for standard operating
procedures regarding escape from
time/temperature extremes. Failure
to follow this precaution can result
in serious personal injury or death.
