What does a yellow light on the ePAR signify?

A yellow light on the ePAR (Electronic Personal Alert Safety System) typically indicates a reset of the PASS (Personal Alert Safety System) device. This is important for firefighters and emergency responders as a functioning PASS device is crucial for their safety in a hazardous environment. The activation of the PASS device alerts team members to an emergency situation involving a downed firefighter or creates a warning if the user becomes immobile.

The choice indicating low air pressure, while relevant in the context of SCBA, refers to a different alert which is usually indicated by a different colored light. Similarly, a test battery pack and emergency alert statuses are also associated with other indicators. Thus, understanding the specific meaning of the yellow light in relation to the ePAR system helps ensure personnel maintain operational readiness and respond appropriately to conditions that may affect their safety.
