Testing the Sensor Module Lights
When performing operational testing on
respirator units equipped with a PASS device
(distress alarm), verify that the sensor
module lights are operating properly.
Figure 1-10 shows the sensor modules on the
respirator, and Table 1-2 on page 23
describes how the lights behave for
particular actions or situations.
For more information about the sensor
module lights, see the manual for the Scott
Electronic Management System (SEMS) II.
