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 PAK­ALERT 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.

COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS

The SCOTT RFID Tag Writer software is PC based and requires a minimum of WINDOWS® 2000
or higher and a 486 MHz or faster processor with approximately ten (10) megabytes of free disc
space. The Interface Unit plugs into a USB 2.0 port on the computer from which it gets its power.

THE INTERFACE UNIT GETS ITS POWER FROM THE USB PORT ON THE COMPUTER. WHEN USED
WITH A BATTERY POWERED LAP TOP COMPUTER, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE USB CABLE AFTER
USE TO PREVENT DRAINING THE POWER FROM THE BATTERY.
