STAY ALERT WHEN OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT. INAT- TENTION OR CARELESSNESS WHILE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE SCOTT PAK-ALERT DISTRESS ALARM DESCRIPTION The PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm is a PERSONAL ALERT SAFETY SYS- TEM (PASS) intended to assist in locating a respirator user who is incapacitated or in need of assistance. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm is an optional accessory intended only for the SCOTT AIR-PAK® 2.2/ 3.0/4.5/Fifty Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm consists of a sensor module mounted to the bottom of the respirator backframe, a pressure switch mounted between the cylinder and gauge line, and a control console mounted on the wearer’s right shoulder strap at the pressure gauge loca- tion. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT distress alarm reaches full alarm in a total of thirty (30) seconds. In addition to the standard PASS functionality, the PAK-ALERT SE + is also equipped with a SCOTT PAK-TRACKER locator device which is activated with the PASS alarm. The locator has a transmitter which emits a radio signal that can be tracked using the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver unit. The SCOTT PAK-ALERT SE + equipped with the locator transmitter can be identified by the two RED covers on the Sensor Module. See FIGURE 2. The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER Locator System is a two part electronic system consisting of a PAK-TRACKER Transmitter, which is integrated into the PAK- ALERT SE + distress alarm, and a PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver, which is a directional receiver or “sniffer” used to locate the signal coming from the PAK-TRACKER Transmitter. This line of electronic accessories is for use by fire fighters, first responders, domestic preparedness and law enforcement officers, as well as haz-mat and industrial users. The PAK-TRACKER Transmitter works in conjunction with the PAK-ALERT SE + distress alarm. A short time after activation of the full alarm, the unit begins transmitting a signal with a unique ID number that can be received by the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver. The PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver is then used as a directional sen- sor to lead the rescue crew to the downed user. By pointing the PAK-TRACKER Hand Held Receiver in the direction of the strongest signal, the rescue crew can follow the signal to the downed user.

LS Research, LLC Page 29 of 31 Test Report Number: 306211 TX Prepared For: Scott Health & Safety Confidential Appendix B Source Based Time Averaging and Operational Declarations Scott Health and Safety, the manufacturer of the EUT is requesting a mathematical adjustment of the measured RF power, at the frequency of operation, based on source based time averaging characteristics of the EUT. The request is for a reduction in the measured RF power, based on 0.8 % transmitter duty factor out of any 100 ms window of measurement. The supporting evidence is presented below as the declared theory of operation from the manufacturer, along with two measurements of the transmit packet envelope and repetition cycles as captured on an oscilloscope. Theory of Operation The transceiver operates on a single channel at 2425.0 MHz with a nominal conducte d output power of +20 dBm and is stabilized by means of an internal voltage regulator. The device operates in a packet mode only. No continuous RF carrier is possible. Each packet is 872 μS long and is repeated at a rate of 4 times per second. The average time between packets is ¼ second but they will dither in time. The shortest repetition between two adjacent packets is 173 mS. Digital data is sent using O-QPSK modulation at a bit rate of 2 MCPS with a payload bit rate of 250 MBPS. Output frequency is controlled to within 20 ppm by a 16.00 MHz crystal on the radio transceiver chip. The RF oscillator is entirely contained within the radio chip. No external inductor is used. The antenna is a printed circuit board Planar Inverted F (PIFA) with a nominal gain of -2 dBi and a peak gain of -1.9 dBi along a single axis. The minimum separation distance of the EUT from the user will be greater than 2.5 cm, in all cases, based on the dimensions of the enclosure, as well as the typical usage where the EUT will be used and worn outside of protective fire-fighting clothing and gear.
