The Accutech Systems

IMPORTANT:

No Security System can replace human vigilance. Creating a safe environment requires the

combined efforts of nursing, physicians, security, and patients. Global policies, procedures,

and processes on patient care should be discussed and disseminated. Education,

communication, and coordination are key. No level of security can replace an informed and

knowledgeable staff. Any electronic or physical security system should be considered as a

supplemental deterrent, but by no means an end-all.

 How Accutech Systems Work

 Addressing Alarms

 Escorting

Throughout this manual, when referring to the

various applications of the system, the term

“Tag” is used to represent all possible

applications of the system (i.e., a resident, a

patient, an infant, pediatrics, or an asset).

Furthermore, the terms “ingress” and “egress”

will be encountered. They are another way of

saying “coming and going” or “entering and

exiting” respectively.

The ES 2200 System is our platform system

from which all Accutech System’s are built.

Each subsequent system adds on to the system

before. Each system can be easily upgraded as

facility needs change and technology advances.

ES 2200 System

The function of the ES 2200 System is to alert

facility personnel of the possible egress of a

monitored resident.

The ES 2200 can be utilized for special care

residents suffering from wandering malady or

tendencies of straying into unauthorized areas or

leaving a facility, pediatric patients, asset

security, and/or infant security. The system is

designed so that each monitored zone is a stand-

alone system.

The ES 2200 System works with ES 2200

System Tags (LT/SB22) and consists of:

 a Controller

 a Transmit Antenna*

 a Receiver

 a Magnetic Switch (door zones) or

a Passive Infrared Reader (PIR)

(hallway and elevators zones)

 a Keypad

 a Local Alarm*

* Multiple options are available for these

components. In most cases a Tx Wand Antenna is

used for the Transmit Antenna, however, in special

circumstances a variation of the Tx Wand antenna

can be used. Furthermore, there are various options

available for a Local Alarm.

When a Tag enters a monitored zone, the system

can automatically:

 lock doors

 deactivate elevators

 sound alarms

 flash strobe lights

 trigger visual displays

(e.g., SAPs, GDPs, as well as PCs in IS

3200 and BR 4200 Systems)

The Controller can be mounted on the wall near

the point of egress or can be mounted out of

sight in an utility or equipment closet.

A Tx Wand Antenna is mounted on the wall at

the point of egress.

The Receiver is mounted internally (inside the

Controller) when the Controller is located at the

zone or externally (near the monitored zone)

when the Controller is located remotely.

1-2 The Accutech Systems Us

er Manual

Virtually any hallway, doorway, stairwell, or

elevator can be made to sense a Tag and then

trigger audial and/or visual alarms to prompt a

staff response.

All cable used in Accutech Systems is plenum-

rated.

By adding options, most egress opportunities

can be eliminated without restricting staff,

visitors, and non-monitored residents movement.

Additional options that further enhance your

ability to prevent unescorted egress include:

 Magnetic Lock(s)

 Elevator Deactivation Unit(s)

 Central Alarm

 Door Ajar alarm

 Loiter alarm

 Staff Alert Panels (SAPs)

 Graphic Displays Panels (GDPs)

 Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator

(STAD)

STADs are capable of reading a Tag’s low

battery indicator and can assist in finding lost

Tags. However, ES 2200 Tags and/or VP

conversion Tags do not support the low battery

indicator.

IS 3200 System

The IS 3200 System is the ES 2200 System plus:

 a computer(s)

 the Accutech Software

 a Tag Test Station

 a Multiplexer(s)

 a Power Supply(s)

The IS 3200 System uses IS 3200 System Tags

(LT/SB32) that are placed on the monitored

resident or asset. Once assigned, the computer

associates a name, room number, and any other

pertinent information about the resident/asset

with that Tag.

BR 4200 System

The BR 4200 System is intended for infant

security.

The function of the BR 4200 System is to alert

facility personnel of the possible abduction of an

infant.

The BR 4200 System is the IS 3200 System

plus:

 BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers

(as needed)

The BR 4200 System uses BR 4200 System

Tags (BR42) that are placed on infants. In

addition to the functionality of IS 3200 System

Tags, BR 4200 System Tags feature Intelli-Band

Technology, which will trigger alarms (audial

and/or visual) if the band is removed or

tampered with. Additional optional alarms (local

or central) can announce when a band alarm

incident has occurred.

Cut Band System

The function of the Cut Band System is to alert

facility personnel of the possible adduction of a

child. The Cut Band System is the BR 4200

System with Cut Band Tags, which will trigger

alarms (visual and/or audial) if the band is cut.

NOTE: In this manual, Egress alarms are

referred to as “Alarms.” Other alarm types are

referred to by name (i.e., Door Ajar, Loiter,

Supervisor, Band Alarm).

Egress

An alarm (i.e., an Egress alarm) occurs

whenever a Tag enters a monitored zone and the

door is opened or a PIR is tripped.

Door Ajar (Optional)

A Door Ajar alarm occurs when a door is open

for longer than the preset time (adjustable).

Loiter (Optional)

A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in a

monitored zone for longer than the preset time

(adjustable).

Supervisor

A Supervisor alarm occurs when the TX or RX

performance of the system has been altered due

to tampering or inadvertent acts such as cut

wires, antenna damage.

Band Alarm (BR 4200 systems only)

A Band Alarm occurs when a BR42 Tag band is

loosened, cut, saturated, removed, or tampered

with.

How Accutech Systems Work

 Double-conditioning

 Door zones

 Elevator zones

 Hallway zones

This section explains how Accutech Systems

react to a Tag entering a monitored door,

elevator, or hallway as well as alarm definitions.

Double conditioning

At most zones, two conditions are required to

generate an alarm. For example, at a door zone,

a Tag must be detected in the zone and the door

opened or, in hallway zones, a Tag must be

detected in the zone and PIR detection to

generate an alarm. Double conditioning (set

during installation) helps prevent nuisance

alarms.

Door zones

When a Tag enters a monitored door zone, the

system will detect the Tag. At that moment

(provided the door is closed, has a Magnetic

Lock(s), and the Lock is unobstructed) the

Magnetic Lock will energize, locking the door.

The Lock will remain locked for as long as the

Tag is in the monitored zone. When the Tag

leaves the monitored zone, the door will unlock

after an adjustable period of time (unless it is set

to latch when an alarm occurs).

Egress

If a Tag enters a monitored door zone with or

without a Magnetic Lock(s) and the door is

already open (or is opened while the Tag is in

the zone), the Accutech System will go into

alarm.

1-4 The Accutech Systems

User Manual

Loiter

An optional Loiter function is available to alert

staff personnel if a Tag is lingering in a

monitored zone. The time setting is adjustable

(10-110 seconds) and is factory set for

approximately 15 seconds.

Door Ajar

An optional Door Ajar function is also available

to alert staff personnel if the door in a monitored

zone has been held open for too long. The time

range can be set for immediate or from 10 to 110

seconds and is factory set for approximately 15

seconds.

Elevator zones

Elevator Deactivation Circuitry restricts the

wearer of a Tag from using an elevator.

Egress

If a Tag enters a monitored elevator zone, the

elevator’s call button on that floor will be

deactivated (Call buttons on other floors are

unaffected and no one is restricted from coming

to the floor).

When a Tag is in the zone and the elevator doors

are closed, the doors will remained closed.

When a Tag is in the zone (or approaches the

zone) and the elevator doors are open, the doors

will remain open and an alarm will sound.

If the elevator car is en route to the floor when a

Tag approaches the zone, the elevator will arrive

on the floor, the door(s) will open, and the

system will alarm.

Hallway zones

Egress

If a Tag enters a monitored hallway zone, the

system will detect the Tag and the PIR will

detect motion. The system can then sound

alarms, trigger visual displays and, in special

circumstances, lock nearby doors.

for longer than the preset allotted time.

When a Door Ajar alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and check to

see if the door is propped open or not

completely closed.

2. Close the door completely.

3. The system may automatically reset or,

if necessary, enter a valid code into the

zone Keypad and/or clear the alarm on

the PC.

Addressing Loiter alarms

A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in a

monitored zone for longer than the preset

allotted time.

When a Loiter alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and check the

following:

a. If a person is loitering in that

zone’s Tx Activation Field?

b. Is a Tag from an adjacent room

being activated by this zone? If

so, call your service technician

for help in addressing this issue.

c. Is there is a misplaced Tag in

the zone?

2. After removing the cause, the system

may automatically reset or, if necessary,

enter a valid code into the Keypad

and/or clear the alarm on the PC.

Addressing Supervisor alarms

A Supervisor alarm occurs when the

performance of the system has been altered due

to tampering or inadvertent acts such as cut

wires, antenna damage, or interference.

When a Supervisor alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and look for

visible damage to the Accutech

equipment.

2. Check for and remove any objects near

the zone equipment that may be causing

interference (metal carts, monitors or

other medical equipment as well as

personnel using wireless communication

devices).

3. If you locate and correct the cause, the

Supervisor alarm will cease. If

necessary, clear the alarm on the PC.

4. If not, call your service technician for

further assistance.

NOTE: Receiver-related supervise

events can be reset by the Keypad for

the duration of the supervise interval.

This will silence the alarm for up to 16

hours.

Addressing Band Alarms

(BR 4200 systems only)

A Band Alarm occurs when a BR42 Tag band is

loosened, cut, saturated, removed or tampered

with.

When a Band Alarm occurs:

1. Locate and assure the safety of the

infant.

1-6 The Accutech Systems Us

er Manual

2. After locating the infant, if you can find

no obvious reason for the alarm, check

the following:

a. Is the band snug around the

infant’s extremity and the

conductive fiber stripes are in

good contact with the infant’s

skin? If not, snug up the band.

b. Is excess band material properly

trimmed? If not, trim

appropriately.

c. Is the band wet? If so, replace

the band.

d. Is the Cam Lock completely

closed? If not, snap it closed.

3. After verifying the above, enter a valid

code into any Keypad and, if necessary,

clear the alarm on the PC.

Escorting

DISCLAIMER:

The following instructions are intended as a

guidance document only. Each facility should

review these recommendations and modify as

necessary to meet their own unique security

requirements.

NOTICE:

While escorting Tags, be aware of “tailgating.”

Tailgating is the practice of Tags lingering near

a monitored zone (usually an exit point) until an

authorized escort passes through the zone then

immediately following behind through the zone.

To prevent tailgating, be aware of all traffic near

a monitored zone and once you are through the

monitored zone wait until the escort time has

timed-out before proceeding.

To escort Tags through a monitored zone, use

the following instructions:

1. Enter a valid code into the zone’s

Keypad. This will invoke the Keypad’s

Escort function. The Keypad’s Escort

function will allow the Tag to pass

through the monitored zone for the

designated Escort time. The duration of

the Escort function is adjustable from 0

to 98 seconds (factory set at 15 seconds).

2. Escort the Tag through the zone.

NOTE: For slower moving residents,

you may have to invoke the Escort

function again. However, if this is the

case, an alarm may sound. Therefore,

take into consideration the Escort time

duration at that zone. If the door handles

slow moving residents often, consider

extending the Escort time or using a

wheelchair to escort residents.

3. To prevent tailgating, once you are

through the zone wait until the escort

time has timed-out before proceeding

(the green LED will extinguish).

 Verifying Proper Zone Coverage

 Identifying Foreign Tag-Activating Sources

DISCLAIMER: Due to each facility’s unique environment, an LED Tag cannot give an exact measurement of zone

coverage; it can only give an estimation of zone coverage.

Verifying Proper Zone Coverage

An LED Tag (Figure 3.8) is used to verify proper zone coverage during

installation, adjustment, or testing of a monitored zone.

Proper zone coverage fully protects the intended area (door, elevator, hallway,

or any other passageway) without extending into other areas (in front, in back,

on sides, above, and beneath the intended area).

Monitored zones emit a Tag-activating signal called the Tx Activation Field.

When a Tag enters a zone’s TX Activation Field, the system will detect the

Tag and take appropriate action response.

A Test Tag can detect a zone’s TX Activation Field without causing alarms

making it a quick and easy way to verify proper zone coverage. This is not

only useful in ensuring complete zone coverage but also in locating areas

where a TX Activation Field may be extending into common areas and causing

nuisance alarms.

Figure 3.8 The ES/IS (top) and

BR Test Tag

To verify proper zone coverage with an Test Tag, use the following

instructions:

1. Using an S-TAD, activate the Test Tag.

NOTE: Once activated the Test Tag’s LED will change state when it is

in a Tx Activation Field. Therefore, to verify the Test Tag is active,

turn on the TAD and place the Test Tag near it. The Test Tag’s LED

will change state since an S-TAD has a small TX Activation Field

associated with it.

2. With the Test Tag in your hand, slowly approach each zone at various

angles and orientations. The Test Tag’s LED will change state when it

detects the zone’s TX Activation Field.

User Manual Tags 3-5

3. If you find that a zone’s coverage is at unacceptable levels (too small,

too big, extends too far in one direction), look for factors that may be

affecting the zone (food carts, medical equipment, and/or building

construction).

4. If you cannot locate any immediate causes, contact your system

maintenance technician for further assistance.

5.

When finished, deactivate the Test Tag using an S-TAD.

Identifying Foreign Tag-Activating Sources

In addition to verifying proper zone coverage, an LED Tag (Figure 3.3) can be

used to identify foreign Tag-activating sources to help preserve your Tags’

battery life and prevent nuisance alarms.

Monitored zones emit a Tag-activating signal called the TX Activation Field.

When a Tag enters a zone’s Tx Activation Field, it is activated. The system

detects the activated Tag and takes appropriate action response.

However, there are sources that can activate a Tag other than a TX Activation

Field. When Tags are activated by these “foreign” sources, battery life is

depleted and/or nuisance alarms can be caused. Therefore, identifying these

sources will prolong Tags battery life and prevent nuisance alarms.

To identify activating sources with a Test Tag, use the following instructions:

1. Using an S-TAD, activate the Test Tag.

NOTE: Once activated the Test Tag’s LED will change state when it is

in a TX Activation Field. Therefore, to verify the Test Tag is active,

turn on the TAD and place the Test Tag near it. The Test Tag’s LED

will change state since an S-TAD has a small TX Activation Field

associated with it.

2. With the Test Tag in your hand, slowly investigate each area for

possible activating sources*. The Test Tag’s LED will illuminate

when it detects an activating source. Note each activating source and

keep Tags away from those sources.

3. When finished, deactivate the Test Tag using an S-TAD.

and cut band conditions always take

precedence over a Low Tag Battery

condition, therefore, be sure to handle

the band-sensing Tag appropriately to

truly check for a Low Tag Battery

condition.

6. The S-TAD will still detect active Tags

and Low Battery conditions in the area

even after the Enter LED extinguishes.

However, you will have to unlock the S-

TAD again to be able to

activate/deactivate a Tag. Remember the

S-TAD will automatically lock after 1

minute of inactivity (by default).

DEACTIVATING

The Keypad (Part # 650209) provided by

Accutech (the KP-103) is used to escort residents

through a monitored zone and to reset zone

equipment once an alarm has occurred.

The Keypad (KP-103)

Programming the Keypad is, in simple terms,

providing it with a set of instructions on how to

react in various contingencies. The Keypad must

be programmed as soon as all installation and

wiring have been completed. Later on, as

changes take place, partial or full

reprogramming may be carried out as many

times as necessary.

The Keypad has three LED indicators. See Table

5.1 for their functions during normal operation.

Table 5.1 Keypad LED Indicators

Keypad Resets are used to reset zone equipment

after an alarm has been addressed. When you

initiate a Keypad Reset, all zone equipment and

alarms will be reset. However, if the alarm

condition is not properly corrected, the alarm

will resume.

The Keypad’s Escort function is used to escort

Tags through a monitored zone without

triggering alarms. When you initiate the Escort

function, for the duration of the Escort time, you

will be able to escort the Tag through the door,

hallway, or use an elevator without triggering

alarms.

Initiating the Second Relay (Anti-Tailgate)

To initiate the second relay, enter a valid user

code and press the [#] key. The green LED will

light.

Accutech Default is .

The second relay is an anti-tailgate feature that

will allow unimpeded passage through the exit

point without triggering an alarm; however, any

banded tailgater attempting to subsequently

pass-through will trigger an alarm event.

Tag Transfer

Tag Transfer is the process of transferring Tag Details between two

server databases. At no time is the protection of the system

compromised. Any alarm event will register and display before, during,

or after a Tag Transfer. In installations with multiple servers

(i.e., multiple protected areas or floors), due to floor-to-floor

discrimination and potential global band removal lockdown protocol,

the Accutech Software requires Tags to be designated in their respective

databases where they are in use and physically reside. Utilize Tag

Transfer for staff escorted transfer of currently assigned Tags. Use Quick

Transfer for transfer of unassigned Tag inventory.

These instructions assume Suite Control settings are already established.

To Transfer an assigned Tag, use the following instructions:

1. From the Transfer file menu (1), select CheckOut (2).

The Prescribe Patient Transfer dialog box appears.

2. From the Transferring pull-down list, select the desired assigned

Tag.

3. Adjust the Transfer Time (mins) text field as desired to allot

enough time to complete the transfer. If the Transfer time is

exceeded, a Transfer Timeout dialog box will appear. Once the

Transfer Timeout dialog box appears, the user will need to

cancel or extend the Transfer Time.

4. From the Destination Area pull-down list, select the desired area.

5. Once all Check Out parameters are set as desired, select the

button.

6. The transfer is started and moved to Pending Transfers

(Transfers file menu > Pending). The Pending Transfer dialog

box (3) displays all current Incoming and Outgoing Transfer in

progress, allows transfer cancellation, and allows transfer Check

In.

7. Once the staff escort arrives at the destination area, from the

Transfer file menu, select Check In. The Transfer CheckIn

dialog box (4) appears.

8. From the Patient pull-down list, select the desired Tag, edit the

Room and Comments text fields as desired, and select the

button to complete the transfer.
