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.

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.

Band Alarm (BR 4200 systems only)
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.

Addressing Door Ajar alarms
A Door Ajar alarm occurs when a door is open
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.

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.

Computer Monitors
Unshielded computer cables
Television Sets
Medical Monitoring
equipment
X-ray and other imaging
equipment

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).

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
LED Status Function
Green On Output relay is active
Yellow On Monitors power input
Red On LC Unit is in alarm

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.

The USB Tag Test Station verifies a Tags ID number, tag type, useful
battery level, warranty date and manufacture date without having to
activate the tag with an STAD. It will also allow you to generate a report
on tags that were tested. The USB TTS will only work with Accutech 7.0
Software.
Using the Tag Test Station
Once the TTS fully reads the data from the tag, the software will
provide:
1. The tag #
2. The bar code #, which indicates the manufacture date. eg.4209
indicates week and year
3. Tag State – whether the tag is in an OFF or ON state. You can then
turn the tag on for use at this time if it is an LT tag. Or if the tag is
already on, you can turn the tag off for storage purposes.
4. Tag Type – LT, SB, CB, BR
5. End of Warranty Date
6. Battery Level – 1-100% indicates USEFUL tag battery life and means
the tag is good. 0% indicates the tag needs to be replaced. Do not
continue to use a tag with 0% indicated.
Note: you cannot activate a BR tag with the TTS. However, you can
deactivate an active BR tag if placed on the TTS.

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

This document defines the recommended
periodic testing procedures for the Accutech
security systems. Accutech recommends that
these tests be performed (at the minimum) on a
monthly basis.
DISCLAIMER:
This chapter is intended as a guidance
document only. Each facility should review
these recommendations and modify as
necessary to meet their own unique security
requirements.
Periodic testing of these critical performance
functions can help prevent undetected security
system failures.
Zone Functions Tested
Accutech systems respond to RF signals
generated by the Tags. Most conditions occur at
a monitored zone, although, Band Alarms can
occur anywhere. In addition, the Accutech
System monitors non-Tag-related zone functions
such as Door Ajar and Supervisor. The RF
signals we will be concerned with during these
tests are:
Zone triggered when a Tag
approaches or lingers at a doorway, an
elevator, or other monitored zone
Band Alarm (BR 4200 Systems only)
triggered when a BR 42 Tag band is
loosened, cut, saturated, removed, or
tampered with.
Each exit point around the area of protection
should be evaluated to determine:
if doors lock and/or elevators disable when
a Tag approaches
if alarms are generated due to passage of a
Tag through an exit point
if Band Alarm functions are operating
correctly (BR 4200 Systems only)
if events are correctly logged in the system
computer(s) when chosen in the software
to do so
Test Equipment Required
You will need to designate Tags to be used
solely for testing purposes only.
For ES 2200 and IS 3200 Systems, designate
one Tag for testing zone alarms.
For BR 4200 Systems, you can designate one
Tag for testing zone alarms and Band Alarms or
designate one Tag for each alarm test.
7-2 Facility Performance Testing User Manual
For IS 3200 and BR 4200 Systems, Tags
designated for testing purposes should be
assigned on the system under the patient names
“Test Tag Zone” and “Test Tag Band
Alarm” and the numbers 255 and 254
respectively, so that it will be clear to anyone
viewing the alarm pop-up messages or alarm
reports that these events were related to system
testing.
Zone, Lock Test
When a Tag approaches a monitored door zone
equipped with Locks, the Lock should engage.
When the Tag leaves the monitored zone, the
Lock should disengage. This test will evaluate
this operation.
NOTE: In the event of a fire, all Locks are
disabled and the door can be opened
immediately.
Test results should be written down and kept in a
test log. Make your own, or use the included, to
ensure that every monitored zone is tested.
These test reports should become part of your
permanent quality assurance records.
1. Notify staff and security that you will be
testing zone performance and alarms
may be generated. They should pay
special attention to traffic during this
time.
2. While not in a monitored zone, use an
S-TAD to activate the test Tag.
3. Hold the test Tag in your hand and
approach each monitored door zone.

can push on the door to verify the Lock
is engaged. For 3101 Series Magnetic
Locks, the LED will turn from green to
red when the Lock is engaged.
However, do not open the door; this test
is intended only for verifying that a door
locks when a Tag approaches. If you
wish to verify the operation of Delayed
Egress Circuitry for 3101 Locks, see
page 7-3.
5. As you approach each zone, try varying
your approach angle (i.e., straight on,
from the sides, down low, etc.). Make
sure there is adequate coverage from all
angles leading to the monitored zone.
6. Record the results (pass or fail).
7. If the test fails to lock the door:
a. Notify staff and security of the
vulnerable area.
b. Check for visible damage or
tampering to the zone equipment.
c. Have a maintenance technician
verify power to the zone equipment.
d. Have a maintenance technician

System Supervisor Text (Rx)
Each time a Tag is detected in a zone (as has
been the case in each of the previous tests) the
Zone Receiver functionality is tested.
In addition, Receivers are self-tested on a
predetermined interval (set during installation).
Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a test
dedicated to testing the System Supervisor
through Zone Receivers. However, if you would
prefer to do so, consult your system maintenance
technician for assistance.
Fire Panel Interface (FPI) Test
State codes require that all Lock and Elevator
Deactivation Circuitry be wired into a facility’s
fire alarm system. In Accutech Systems this is
done via the Fire Panel Interface (FPI).
This is done so in the case of a fire, any Lock or
Elevator Deactivation unit disengages, allowing
free egress or ingress. For more information on
this policy, check your local codes.
This test should be performed concurrently with
your facility’s fire alarm test.
1. Using an S-TAD, activate a test Tag.
2. Activate your facility’s fire alarm.
NOTE: The LED on the FPI enclosure
will blink.
3. Proceed to each zone to be tested and

Tag.
Band Alarm Test
(BR 4200 Systems only)
For this test you will need a BR42 Tag to
evaluate the Band Alarm function. Test results
should be written down and kept in a test log.
Select different locations within the protected
area(s) each time you conduct this test so that
you will evaluate all Receivers in the system on
a rotating basis. Remember to test both
Auxiliary and Zone Band Alarm Receivers.
IMPORTANT:
Band Alarms can be generated anywhere
within a facility, not just at exit points.
Repeat this test multiple times varying your
position each time within an area to assure
there is no place where a BR42 Tag can be
removed without being detected. This
includes bathrooms, visiting areas, storage
rooms, and laundry rooms.
1. Notify staff and security that you will be

FAQ
Tag:
What can I use to clean Tags?
Use antibacterial wipes or a 3% hydrogen
peroxide solution (wipe, do not soak) to
clean Tags. ALWAYS RINSE WITH
WATER OR WIPE DOWN WITH A
DAMP CLOTH. THEN DRY TO
REMOVE ANY CHEMICAL RESIDUE.
UNAPPROVED CLEANERS CAN
AFFECT THE PLASTIC AND CAUSE IT
TO BREAK DOWN PREMATURELY.
How should I store Tags?
Ideally, to preserve battery life, Tags should
be turned off with an S-TAD. However, if
you do not have an S-TAD or your Tags are
always activated, Tags should be stored
away from
sources of electrical noise and stored in a
metal container with lid. BR42 Tags must be
turned off when not in use.
How can I be sure the Tag is on and
functioning properly?
You can test that a Tag is on and functioning
properly by the testing it with an S-TAD or
taking the Tag to a monitored zone (this may
cause alarms).
How often should I check a Tag’s battery
with my S-TAD?
Accutech recommends testing a Tag’s
battery during assignment of the
patient/infant then again during
unassignment prior to cleaning and
restocking of the Tag for new use. Periodic
weekly testing of Tags for long-term
patients is also recommended.
Can I replace or recharge the battery in the
Tag?
No. Once a Tag’s battery is drained, the Tag
will have to be replaced.
How long will the Tags last before I need to
replace them?
Accutech Tags operate by internal battery.
The Tags have been engineered for greater
than 1.5 years.
Tag Band:
Are Tag bands reusable?
No. Tag bands are for one-time use only.
S-TAD:
How long will the 9-volt battery last in the
S-TAD?
The life of the 9-volt battery in the S-TAD is
dependent upon usage.
Can I use a rechargeable battery in the
S-TAD?
Yes.
System (General):
If you are locking the doors, what happens
in the case of a fire?
Accutech follows NFPA codes and
regulations. Therefore, in the event of a fire,
all Accutech restraints will be disabled
(audial and visual alarms remain active).
If the PC shuts down, is the physical
security also disabled?
No. The Accutech Software is separate from
and does not affect nor control the physical
Accutech Security System components.
Can I adjust the Door Ajar and Loiter
Times?
Yes. Door Ajar and Loiter times are
adjustable. Contact your system
maintenance technician for further
assistance.
F-2 FAQ User Manual
Why do I get Loiter alarms?
Loiter alarms occur when a Tag lingers in a
monitored zone for longer than the preset
allotted time. If you experience an
abundance of Loiter alarms, consider that
your monitored zones may be extending into
common resident areas. Contact a
maintenance technician for further
assistance.
Why do I get a Band Alarm if the band has
not been removed?
Band Alarms occur when a BR42 Tag band
is loosened, cut, saturated, removed or
tampered with.
Is the band snug around the infant’s
extremity and the conductive fibers
are in good contact with the infant’s
skin? If not, snug up the band.
Is excess band material properly
trimmed? If not, trim appropriately.
Is the band wet? If so, replace the
band.
Is the Cam Lock completely closed?
If not, snap it closed.
Furthermore, due to the global response of
Band Alarms and possible overlapping of
zones to assure complete coverage, a single
Band Alarm event may register at multiple
zones.
As always, make sure your Tags are
handled, transported, and attached to infants
properly as well as turned off when not in
use.
How can I reduce nuisance alarms?
Nuisance alarms are typically caused by:
the mishandling of Tags
improper storage of Tags
Loiter alarm time being too brief
(passersby causing alarms or during
slow-moving patient transfers)
lost Tags
In addition, if you are experiencing an
abundance of nisance alarms, consider that
your monitored zones may be extending into
common resident areas and make sure your
Tags are handled, transported, and attached
properly as well as turned off when not in
use.
System (Maintenance):
How often should I test my zones?
Accutech recommends that Facility
Performance Testing (Chapter 7) be
performed (at the minimum) on a monthly
basis. However, each facility should review
and modify the testing procedures as
necessary to meet their own unique security
requirements.
Who do I contact if the system does not
seem to be working?
If you should need assistance with any part
of your Accutech Security System, contact
your system maintenance technician first,
then your local area Accutech
Representative.
Who do I call about upgrading or adding to
my system?
If you would like information about
upgrading or adding to your system, contact
your local area Accutech Representative.
How do I order replacement
Tags/Bands/Components?
If you would like to order replacement
Tags/Band/Components for your system,
contact your local area Accutech
Representative.

Band Alarm An alarm condition that occurs when an Accutech BR42 Tag is loosened,
cut, saturated, removed or tampered with.
BR 4200 System A complete infant security system featuring Intelli-Band Technology.
BR 4200 System Tag A small wristwatch-sized device that is worn by an infant. In addition to
the functionality of an IS 3200 System Tag, the BR 4200 System Tag
features Intelli-Band Technology, which will alarm if the band is removed
or tampered with.
Case sensitive A program’s ability to distinguish between uppercase (capital) and
lowercase (small) letters. Programs that distinguish between uppercase and
lowercase are said to be case sensitive.
Central Alarm A tone generator than can drive up to 5 speakers.
Controller The Controller coordinates and controls all of the devices and functions of
the Accutech Security Systems.
Delayed Egress Circuitry A feature of the Accutech 3101 Magnetic Lock that, due to fire and life
safety codes, allows free egress through a door after 15 seconds of constant
force. In the event of a fire alarm, the Delayed Egress Circuitry is disabled.
Door Ajar alarm An alarm condition that occurs when a door is open longer than the preset
time allowed.
Double conditioning A characteristic of a zone that requires two conditions to be met (such as
Tag detection and PIR detection) before an alarm is generated.
G-2 Glossary User Manual
Egress alarm An alarm condition that occurs when a Tag is in the Tx Activation Field
and a door is opened (or PIR detection).
Elevator
Deactivation Circuitry
Circuitry that deactivates an elevator’s call button(s) when a Tag is a
monitored elevator zone.
ES 2200 System A complete wanderer, asset, or infant security system.
ES 2200 System Tag A small wristwatch-sized device worn by a resident, infant, or attached to
an asset.
Escort Function A function of the Keypad used to escort Tags through a monitored zone
without triggering alarms.
Fire Panel Interface
(FPI)
A FPI ties Accutech Security System components into the facility’s fire
panel. Required if the system includes Magnetic Locks and/or Elevator
Deactivation Circuitry. In the event of a fire, Magnetic Locks and Elevator
Deactivation Circuitry are disabled. However, if there is still power to the
system, the alarms will still sound.
Floor-to-Floor Tag
discrimination
Set during installation, Floor-to-Floor Tag discrimination allows the
software to be configured so that predetermined ranges of Tags can be
designated to individual floors, thus when alarms occur they only appear on
PCs associated with that floor (This aids in reducing nuisance alarms from
bleed through especially in stacked zones). Regardless of what the PCs are
configured to see, zones will function as usual (i.e., locking doors and/or
sounding alarms if applicable).
Graphic Display Panel
(GDP)
A display panel, which provides staff with a representation of the floor
being monitored. GDPs are custom-made to a facility’s floor plan and
notify staff when an alarm condition occurs in a monitored zone through a
piezo buzzer and alarm-specific LEDs.
Intelli-Band Technology A feature of BR42 Tags, which will alarm if the band is loosened, cut,
saturated, removed, or tampered with.
IS 3200 System A complete wanderer, asset, or infant security system.
IS 3200 System Tag A small wristwatch-sized device that is worn by a resident, an infant, or
attached to an asset. They are assigned to a specific resident or asset (via
the Tag Test Station and Accutech Software). Once assigned, the computer
associates a name, room number, and any other pertinent information about
the resident/infant/asset with that Tag.

Keypad A Keypad is used to reset zone equipment once an alarm has been
addressed (Keypad Reset) or to escort Tags through a monitored zone
without triggering alarms (Keypad Escort). The Keypad is also capable of
providing visual indicators for Tag detection, alarms, and escort time.
Keypad Reset A feature of the Keypad that is used to reset zone equipment after an alarm
has been addressed.
Test Tag A red Test Tag designed to verify proper zone coverage (without causing
alarms) during installation, adjustment, or testing of a monitored zone.
Local Alarm A single-tone sounder mounted at a monitored zone to attract attention
during alarms.
Loiter Alarm An alarm condition that occurs when a Tag lingers in the Tx Activation
Field for longer than the preset time.
LT “Long Term”, a Tag classification
Magnetic Lock A device using a magnetic coil and plate to lock a door when a Tag is
detected in the monitored door zone.
Magnetic Switch A device that monitors a door’s position (open or closed). A Magnetic
Switch is used on a door when alarm activation is not desired unless the
door is opened when a Tag in the monitored door zone.
Masking In PIR applications, limiting the infrared beam by placing stripes of tape
over the lens. In Software applications, during text insertion into a field,
characters are replaced with symbols (usually asterisks “*”) for privacy.
Master Code User Code Number 1 for the Keypad, used for Keypad programming
purposes only.
Monitored Zone Any door, hallway, stairwell, elevator, or other passageway that has a
Controller, Tx antenna, and Zone Receiver associated to it.
Multiplexer A device that relays event information from the Controller to SAPs, GDPs
and/or the Accutech Software.
Nuisance Alarms Undesired alarm activation stemming from such things as the mishandling
of Tags, improper storage of Tags, slow patient transferring, and/or Loiter
alarm time being too brief (passersby causing alarms).
G-4 Glossary User Manual
Passive Infrared Reader
(PIR)
A device that uses an infrared light to detect motion.
Push Button Override
(PBO)
A switch (push button) that triggers the Keypad’s Escort function.
Program Shell An application of the Software that houses the displayed monitored area.
Receiver A device that detects the signal of an activated Tag, usually mounted in the
Controller above the drop ceiling or on the wall next to the door being
monitored. For centrally located systems, the Receiver is mounted
separately at the door. A short rubber duck antenna protrudes from the
cover.
SB “Slotted Back”, a Tag classification
S-TAD
Used to check the functionality of an Accutech Tag. Accutech Tags operate
by internal battery. Over the course of normal operation, Tags eventually
lose battery power and the Tags will need to be replaced. The S-TAD is
used to determine if a Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to an
activating signal. Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator.
Staff Alert Panel
(SAP)
A display panel used to indicate to staff where an Alarm, Door Ajar, Loiter,
or Supervise warning condition has occurred; it employs bi-color LEDs, a
Piezo Buzzer, and digital logic to control its outputs.
Supervisor A built-in self-diagnostic circuit of the Controller that continuously
monitors the Tx Activation Field and periodically simulates a Tag in the
zone.
Tag See ES 2200 System Tag, IS 3200 System Tag, or BR 4200 System Tag
Tag Test Station
(TTS)
A TTS is used in conjunction with the Accutech Software for Tag
assignments and to check the tags data information.
Tx Wand Antenna A device that generates a Tag-activating radio frequency signal. This signal
is referred to as a “Tx Activation Field.”
Tx Activation Field A radio frequency field created by a Tx antenna to detect Tags. Doors,
hallways, elevators, stairwells, and other passageways that have a Tx
Activation Field are commonly referred to as a “monitored zone.”
