Q

PAK TRACKER depends heavily on INTERPRETATION OF RELATIVE SIGNAL STRENGTH displayed on tracker ..

A

signal strength varies, based upon:

  • DISTANCE from SCBA TO PAK T
  • PATH OF SCBA SIGNAL TAKES TO PAK T
  • MATERIALS AFFECTING SIGNAL
  • ORIENTATION OF HAND HELD RECEIVER

note: pak tracker is very sensitive in responding to small differences in signal strength

Q

SEARCHING…

A
  • pak tracker held WAIST HEIGHT out in front of operating member
  • TOP of hand held receiver pointed toward target(hand held receiver sensor captures the distress signal from the TOP of the unit)
  • point PAK TRACKER in direction of STRONGEST RELATIVE SIGNAL –when signal strength rises above the 50 PERCENT LEVEL, ROW OF LEDS WILL BEGIN TO LIGHT STARTING WITH RED AT BOTTOM, ,YELLOW IN MIDDLE , GREEN AT THE TOP
  • averages 4 readings per second
  • take readings at doors, hallways, openings
  • use in SWEEPING MOTION , very slowly in HORIZONTAL DIRECTION AT FIRST, sweep vertically if signal is coming from higher or lower floor l in building
  • always pause 3 to 4 SECONDS for a reading…best to pause at distinct directional points (left, front, right)..sweeping to quickly may average a high reading with a low reading resulting in misleading info.

Q

Member operating PAK TRACKER must be in FRONT OF SEARCH TEAM..

A

–human body will absorb signal
READ-hold the pak tracker pointed at features such as doors, windows, halls
INTERPRET –decide where strongest signal is coming from
FOLLOW- move toward strongest signal

Q

INSPECT before EACH USE and EACH TOUR…

A
  • -any malfunction/RT-2 to MSU
  • each DIVISION has spare PAK TRACKER (contact DIVISION for spare while awaiting replacement from MSU)

BATTERY LIFE: when oak t has approx 20 percent of battery life remaining , LOW BATT will glow yellow…

  • battery is rechargeable Nickel-metal hydride
  • if battery must be replaced, send to MSU for disposal (don’t throw away)

battery charging- GREEN LIGHT flashing
fully charge-SOLID GREEN
standby mode –glows YELLOW
DEFECT-flashing RED light(RT-2..MSU)

-if pak tracker will be stored for extended period of time, remove battery

19
Q

DO NOT immerse, spray, or douse the pak tracker in liquids..

A

clean with cloth dampened, mild detergent and water

20
Q

DIVISION HAS PAK TRACKER TRAINING KIT..
