SCOTT AIR-PAK® SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS

DESCRIPTION

These instructions cover the software program on SCOTT software disk P/N 31001686.

RFID TAG PROGRAMMER FOR SCOTT SEMS II ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AND

PERSONAL DISTRESS ALARM

The SEMS II Accountability System and Personal Distress Alarm can be quickly programmed with

the identification of the SCBA user using the SEMS II RFID Tag. Use the Tag Writer P/N 200734 to

add unique identification information to the user’s RFID Tag. This identification number can be

programmed to a combination of up to eight characters (letters and/or numbers) using the SCOTT

RFID Tag Writer Software, P/N 31001686, on a personal computer with the same Tag Programmer

computer interface. The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System integrated into a SCOTT PAK-

ALERT Distress Alarm also uses the same ID number, so this software can be used to reprogram

the ID for respirators equipped with that function as well.
