    Study Notes

    Start-up Sequence

    • The PASS device goes through a start-up sequence when it wakes up from sleep mode, providing information to the control module about the SCBA's operational state.
    • The logo screen displays the MSA logo, unit, and riding position (if assigned) on the control module.
    • The buddy lights on the power and control modules cycle through red, yellow, and green, while the power module plays the start-up tone.
    • The PASS device performs a self-test to ensure it's operating correctly during this sequence.

    Self-Test Results

    • A successful self-test displays a "Go" icon, indicating the SCBA can be put into service.
    • If maintenance is required, the overhaul reminder icon appears, indicating the SCBA should be removed from service after use.
    • If the SCBA should not be used, a Hardware Alarm icon appears on the control module, and a full alarm sounds from the power module.

    Primary Screen

    • The primary screen provides critical information to the user, including a calculated remaining service time.
    • The countdown timer displays the estimated rated service pressure until 35% remaining, following the Air Management Guideline.
    • The actual time remaining may be less than the calculated time displayed due to variations in breathing rate.

    Secondary Screen

    • The secondary screen can be accessed by pressing the green button once and displays the following information:
      • HUD Pressure Status
      • Pressure Status Indicators:
        • Segment 1: 75-100% pressure range, green LED
        • Segment 2: 50-74% pressure range, yellow LED
        • Segment 3: 36-49% pressure range, three yellow LEDs
        • Segment 4: 0-35% pressure range, five red LEDs
      • Pressure and Color Codes:
        • 50-100% pressure: green, 1425 PSI display
        • 36-49% pressure: yellow, flashing display
        • 0-35% pressure: red, flashing display

    SCBA Unit Identifier

    • The SCBA features a unit identifier that corresponds with the apparatus, assisting in quick visual identification.
    • The identifier is secured to the carrier band and complements the accountability system.
    • Examples of unit identifiers include Engine (E701), Aerial (L702), Rescue (R701), and more.
