How can you deactivate the Pre Alarm?

To deactivate the Pre Alarm on the Scott Air-Pak X3, the correct method involves a specific physical movement intended to reset the system. The rocking of the hips allows the Motion Sensor to detect movement and thus can signal the unit to deactivate the Pre Alarm if the SCBA is indeed in a safe operational mode. This action mimics the natural motion a firefighter would have while working and ensures that the SCBA does not erroneously alert while in active use.

This feature is designed to enhance usability and prevent unnecessary alarms in dynamic situations, supporting effective performance during firefighting activities. The design incorporates these safety mechanisms to ensure that firefighters can focus on their tasks without the distraction of false alarms.
