How to use this manual

Thank you for purchasing the LC 1200 System.

This manual will aid you in the understanding

and installation of the LC 1200 System.

The manual is arranged to build upon the

information contained in the previous chapter.

The first three chapters will likely be the

chapters you reference most frequently after the

initial installation. They discuss how the system

works, the inside of an LC unit, activating and

deactivating Tags, monitored zones, addressing

alarms, and attaching Tags and bands.

Each chapter thereafter focuses on a particular

component that interfaces with the LC unit in

the order of the required components (Magnetic

Switch or Passive Infrared Reader, and Keypad)

to additional optional components (External

sounders, Magnetic Locks, Elevator and

Automatic Door Deactivation, Timer, and Alert

Panels).

These chapters contain the specifications,

positioning, mounting, and wiring of each

component. You may not have all the

components listed in this manual with your

initial system. However they can easily be added

at a future date as your needs warrant.

Besides basic mounting tools, the only tools

needed for installation are:

 Spanner key/bit

 Small flat screwdriver

 Wire strippers

When mounting, use mounting hardware

appropriate for the component weight and

mounting surface.

The FAQ and Troubleshooting chapter rounds

out the manual. Here you will find solutions to

common questions about the operation of the

system and remedies to common scenarios.

The LC 1200 system (Part # 800121)

IMPORTANT:

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

combined efforts of personnel, 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.

Overview

The LC 1200 system (Part # 800121) is designed

to be a turnkey, patient egress monitoring

system.

The function of the LC 1200 system is to alert

facility personnel of the possible egress of a

monitored resident and can be utilized for

special care residents suffering from wandering

malady or tendencies of straying into

unauthorized areas or leaving a facility.

The LC 1200 system consists of:

 the LC unit (Part # 800121)

 Magnetic Switch (Part # 650514)

(for door applications) or a Passive

Infrared Reader (Part # 300302)

(for hallway and elevator applications)

 a Keypad (Part # 650202).

Additional options for the LC unit are:

 External sounders

(Part # 700216 or 300150)

 Magnetic Locks

(Part # 700218 or 700228)

 Elevator Deactivation (Part # 700027).

 Automatic Door Deactivation

(Part # 700033).

 Timer (Perimeter door function)

(Part # 7000018).

 Staff Alert Panel (Part # 700080).

 Graphic Display Panel (Part # 700050 or

700052).

 Fire Panel Interface (Part # 700013).

Note: Since a facility may have multiple LC

units, from now on the LC 1200 system shall be

simply referred to as an LC unit.

Features

The LC unit comes with the following features:

 Single zone monitoring (Tag Detect)

 Tamper Switch

 Power Loss Supervisor

 Perimeter Door function (Timer)

 Stagger Tuning

How the system works

The LC unit uses a simple but effective concept.

A small unobtrusive Tag is banded to the

resident to be monitored and LC units are placed

at points of egress.

When a Tag enters a monitored area, the system

can automatically:

 sound alarms

 lock doors

 deactivate elevators

 flash lights

 trigger Visual Displays

(e.g., SAPs or GDPs)

Since LC units only react to Tags, the LC unit

does not restrict the movement of other

residents, staff, or visitors.

The LC unit’s range of coverage is determined

by the size of the Tx Activation Field. An LC

unit’s Tx Activation Field can be expanded or

reduced to accommodate the environmental

conditions of virtually any doorway, hallway, or

elevator you wish to monitor.

1-2 The LC 1200 System LC 1200 Manual

Single vs. Double Conditioning

Egress alarms can be set for either single or

double conditioning.

In single conditioning, one event has to happen

(i.e., a Tag being detected in the zone) to

generate an egress alarm.

In double conditioning, two events have to

happen (such as a Tag being detected in the zone

and the door opened or PIR tripped) to generate

an egress alarm.

Double conditioning is achieved when a

Magnetic Switch or Passive Infrared Reader

(PIR) is connected to the LC unit for that zone.

The “Monitored zones” section describes how

single and double conditioning is used in various

zone types.

Monitored zones

 Single Conditioning

 Double Conditioning - Door and Hallway

 Double Conditioning – Door with Lock(s)

 Double Conditioning – Elevator

 Double Conditioning – Automatic Door

Single Conditioning

Single conditioning reacts the same for all

monitored zone types (e.g., door, hallway,

elevator, and automatic door).

With single conditioning, if an active Tag enters

a monitored zone, the system will detect the Tag

and an egress alarm will be generated.

To clear this alarm, remove the Tag from the

zone and enter a valid code into the zone

Keypad.

Double Conditioning – Door and Hallway

In double conditioning, two events have to

happen to generate an egress alarm.

At a door zone, a Tag must be detected in the

zone and the door opened or PIR detection to

generate an egress alarm.

In hallway zones, a Tag must be detected in the

zone and PIR detection to generate an alarm.

To clear this alarm, remove the Tag from the

zone, and enter a valid code into the zone

Keypad.

LC 1200 Manual The LC 1200 System 1-3

Double conditioning – Door with Lock(s)

Notes: Although most locks can be interfaced

with an LC unit, the instructions hereafter are

only applicable to an Accutech supplied 3101

Magnetic Lock.

If an active 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 (02-18

seconds; set by potentiometer R43 (Tag Detect

Delay).

Accutech’s 3101 Magnetic Locks also

incorporates Delayed Egress Circuitry that

complies with N.F.P.A. 101 Life Safety Codes

5-2.1.6.1. If engaged, the Lock will release

within 15 seconds (after 1-3 second nuisance

delay) whenever a maintained force (less than 15

pounds required) is applied to the door. An

audible tone enunciates both countdown and

release. When the Lock releases, the red LED

will turn solid green and the Lock alarm will

sound continuously. However, if the door is not

opened and the Tag leaves the zone, the audible

tone will cease and the Lock will return to

normal operation.

The Lock will NOT engage (or will disengage)

when the facility’s Fire Alarm is activated or

power is lost.

Double conditioning - Elevator

Note: The use of Elevator Deactivation with the

LC unit will require a relay board.

Elevator Deactivation Circuitry restricts the

wearer of a Tag from using an elevator. 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).

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.

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.

Double Conditioning - Automatic Door

If an active Tag enters a monitored automatic

door zone, the system will detect the Tag and the

automatic door operation (motion detector

and/or push paddle) will be disabled. If the door

is manually opened while the Tag is in the zone,

an egress alarm will be generated. When the Tag

leaves the zone, the door will return to normal

operation after an adjustable period of time (02-

18 seconds; set by potentiometer R43 (Tag

Detect Delay).

To clear this alarm, remove the Tag from the

zone, close the door, and enter a valid code into

the zone Keypad.

1-4 The LC 1200 System LC 1200 Manual

Perimeter Door application

If desired, the LC unit can be used as a perimeter

door system. When in this mode, the door would

alarm the instant it was opened. If the door has

Magnetic Locks, the door would remain locked

(Lock energized) at all times and would require

a valid code entered into the Keypad or

activating a PBO to open the door. Delayed

Egress Circuitry would function normally if

3101 Magnetic Locks were used.

To use the LC unit as a perimeter door full time

remove the jumper from P1-1 and P1-2

(Perimeter Door) or to use the LC unit as a

perimeter part time use a Timer.

Alarms

 Egress

 Tamper

 Power Loss Supervisor

 Perimeter Door

The LC unit has the following alarms:

Egress

An Egress alarm occurs whenever a Tag enters

an LC unit’s Tx Activation Field and contacts

P2-3 and P2-4 of the LC unit are open (usually

interfaced with a Magnetic Switch or PIR).

Tamper

A Tamper alarm occurs when the LC unit cover

is removed and the Tamper Switch (S1) is

disengaged. Remember, JP2 (Tone Enable) must

be in place for this alarm to be heard.

Power Loss Supervisor (Optional)

A Power Loss Supervisor alarm occurs when a

charged 9V NiCAD battery is installed and the

LC unit loses power. Remember, JP2 (Tone

Enable) must be in place for this alarm to be

heard.

Note: This battery does not power the LC unit.

When the battery is installed and the power is

applied to the LC unit, the battery is being

trickle-charged constantly. When power is lost

to the LC unit, a Piezo Alert of the LC unit will

sound for as long as the 9-volt battery has

enough power to drive the Piezo.

WARNING:

For the Power Loss Supervise function, use a 9-

volt Ni-Cad (nickel-cadmium) rechargeable

battery ONLY as other types of batteries may

explode or leak causing damage to the LC unit

or injury to the person(s) working on the

equipment.

If a battery is not installed, make sure that the

battery clip cover is in place over the battery

lead terminals. If you have lost the cover, then

be sure to cover the terminals of the battery clip

with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing before

you apply power to the unit. Failure to do so

can result in the terminal leads shorting to

something conductive inside the unit and

causing damage to the LC unit or electric shock.

LC 1200 Manual The LC 1200 System 1-5

Perimeter Door

A Perimeter Door alarm occurs when the LC

unit is in Perimeter Door mode (see page 1-3 for

more information) and the door is opened

(Magnetic Switch open).

Internal vs. External alarms

The LC unit comes with an internal alarm

sounder (a piezo) and the capability of triggering

external sounders.

When jumper JP2 “Tone Enable” is in place, all

four alarm types (Egress, Tamper, Power Loss

Supervisor, and Perimeter) will be announced

through the LC unit’s internal piezo.

Note: The internal peizo’s volume level is

controlled by potentiometer R32 “Volume

Control” (see page 2-5).

A charged 9-volt Ni-Cad rechargeable battery is

also required for the Power Loss Supervisor

alarm.

In addition to the internal piezo, the LC unit is

capable of triggering external sounders (see

Chapter 8: External Sounders). An external

sounder can be positioned away from the zone at

a remote location (such as a hallway intersection

or nurse station) for alarm notification. Note:

External sounders are not silenced by the

removal of jumper JP2 “Tone Enable”.

The internal piezo and an external sounder can

operate simultaneously and will be silenced by a

Keypad reset.

A Staff Alert Panel (SAP) or Graphic Display

Panel (GDP) is another option for remote alarm

notification (see Chapter 14: Alert Panels).

Addressing Alarms

 Egress

 Tamper

 Power Loss Supervisor

 Perimeter Door

Egress

An Egress alarm occurs whenever a Tag enters

an LC unit’s Tx Activation Field and contacts

P2-3 and P2-4 of the LC unit are open (usually

interfaced with a Magnetic Switch or PIR).

When an Egress alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and take

appropriate action to find the cause of

the alarm.

2. After taking appropriate action, you can

clear the alarm by closing the door and

entering a valid code into the zone

Keypad.

Tamper

A Tamper alarm occurs when the LC unit cover

is removed and the Tamper Switch (S1) is

disengaged.

When a Tamper alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and take

appropriate action to find the cause of

the alarm.

2. To silence the internal piezo buzzer

while you address the alarm, remove the

LC unit cover and jumper JP2 (Tone

Enable).

3. When finished, replace jumper JP2 and

the LC unit cover, then enter a valid

code into the zone Keypad.

1-6 The LC 1200 System LC 1200 Manual

Power Loss Supervisor

A Power Loss Supervisor alarm occurs when a

charged 9V NiCAD battery is installed and the

LC unit loses power (see page 1-4 for more

information).

When a Power Loss Supervisor alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and take

appropriate action to find the cause of

the alarm.

2. Check the LC unit connections.

3. Verify the power source is working.

4. To silence the internal piezo buzzer

while you address the alarm, remove the

LC unit cover and remove jumper JP2

(Tone Enable).

5. If you cannot locate an immediate cause

for the alarm. Call your service

technician for further assistance.

Perimeter Door

A Perimeter Door alarm occurs when the LC

unit is in Perimeter Door mode (see page 1-3 for

more information) and the door is opened.

When a Perimeter Door alarm occurs:

1. Go to the alarm location and take

appropriate action to find the cause of

the alarm.

2. When finished close the door, and enter

a valid code into the zone Keypad to

clear the alarm.

Escorting

From time to time, it may be necessary to escort

a monitored resident through a protected zone.

This is done using the Keypad’s Escort function.

The Keypad’s Escort function allows passage of

a monitored resident through that monitored

zone without alarm for a predetermined time

(01-98 seconds; factory default 15 seconds). To

modify the Escort time, see page 6-9.

PLEASE NOTE:

While escorting, be aware of “tailgating.”

Tailgating is the practice of residents

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 a monitored resident 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 green

LED will illuminate.

Note: Depending on the type of zone

you are escorting through, you may have

to leave the resident just out of the Tx

Activation Field while you enter the

Keypad code and then escort them

through.

2. Escort the monitored resident through

the zone.

Note: For slower moving residents, an

alarm may sound if you move too

LC 1200 Manual The LC 1200 System 1-7

slowly and you may have to invoke the

Escort function again. 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.

Temperature

The LC unit and its associated peripherals

operate best in an ambient temperature between

35 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Operation outside

of this range may cause unexpected or

undesirable results, including premature

component or device failure.

Weight

The LC unit weighs approximately 1 U.S.

pounds, which should be considered when

choosing mounting location and hardware.

Positioning

The recommended location of the LC unit is on

the latch side of the door with its lowest point

about 2 feet above the floor (Figure 2.1)

Mount the LC unit at least 3 inches away from

any type of metal including:

 metal door frames

 metal studs

 metal lathe walls

 metal electrical box

 metal conduit

 metal pipes

In addition, the LC unit should be positioned

within 18” maximum of the monitored door or

elevator to assure proper coverage. The

recommended distance is 3 to 6 inches.

Positioning the LC unit correctly will help in

avoiding unintended activation of a Tag in a

nearby room or a passerby. The goal is to

produce a Tx Activation Field that adequately

covers the doorway but does not extend into

nearby rooms.

Figures 2.1 through 2.4 show the recommended

location of the equipment in a typical door,

double door, elevator, and hallway application.

Use them for reference during installation.

Tamper Switch adjustment

The Tamper Switch (S1) (Figure 2.10) is

provided to prevent unauthorized access to the

LC unit. An alarm is generated if the LC unit

cover is removed (i.e., the Tamper Switch clip is

open).

During normal use, the Tamper Switch clip is

held closed with pressure between the contact of

the clip and the outside case (see Figure 2.11).

After initial installation and wiring, replace the

outside cover and enter a Keypad reset. If you

receive a Tamper alarm, it may be necessary to

adjust the Tamper Switch to maintain good

contact with the outside case.

Using needle-nosed pliers, gently bend the

Tamper Switch clip slightly outward (see Figure

2.11). Make only one or two small adjustments,

as repeated bending can cause the metal to

break.

Replace the LC unit cover and enter a Keypad

Notify staff and security

Whenever making adjustments to an LC unit,

notify staff and security and remind them they

will need to pay special attention to area traffic

during this time.

Why tune the LC unit?

The LC unit comes from the factory tuned to

typical parameters that will be effective under

most circumstances. However, there are 3

possible reasons to tune:

a. During initial installation to

accommodate special environmental

conditions. This is the most likely

reason to tune since every zone should

be tested and adjusting during initial

installation to assure proper coverage.

b. The unit had to be mounted close to a

metal object during installation and was

detuned.

c. Stagger Tuning was implemented.

IMPORTANT:

A Tamper alarm will be generated when you

remove the LC unit cover or if you remove

power from the unit (and a 9V NiCAD

battery is installed) a Power Loss Supervisor

alarm will be generated.

Tuning an LC unit

To tune the LC unit, refer to Figure 2.6 and use

the following instructions:

1. Notify staff and security that you will be

adjusting the zone and they will need to

pay special attention to area traffic

during this time.

2. Open the LC unit cover by removing the

two spanner screws. A Tamper alarm

will be generated.

3. Silence the Tamper alarm by removing

jumper JP2 (Tone Enable).

4. Adjust potentiometer R4 (Tx Gain) until

LED1 is dim. This is done so that you

can detect minor light changes on LED1

while you are tuning the unit.

5. Slowly adjust C2 (Tuning capacitor)

until LED1 is as bright as possible.

6. Adjust R4 (Tx Gain) until LED1 is as

bright as possible.

7. Confirm the zone has adequate coverage

and readjust as necessary (see Chapter

15: System Maintenance & Testing).

8. Replace jumper JP2 and the LC cover

with spanner screws.

9. Reset the zone by entering a valid code

into the zone Keypad.

LC 1200 Manual The LC unit 2-9

Adjusting the Tx Activation Field

The Tx Activation Field can be reduced or

expanded to match each unique zone’s needs.

Each monitored zone may have circumstances

that require an adjustment to the range of the Tx

Activation Field. The most common reason is

that the Field is overlapping or “bleeding” into

other areas.

IMPORTANT:

A Tamper alarm will be generated when you

remove the LC unit cover or if you remove

power from the unit (and a 9V NiCAD

battery is installed) a Power Loss Supervisor

alarm will be generated.

To adjust the range of the Tx Activation Field,

refer to Figure 2.6 and use the following

instructions:

1. Notify staff and security that you will be

adjusting the zone and they will need to

pay special attention to area traffic

during this time.

2. Open the LC unit cover by removing the

two spanner screws. A Tamper alarm

will be generated.

3. Silence the Tamper alarm by removing

jumper JP2 (Tone Enable).

4. Slowly adjust potentiometer R4 (Tx

Gain) on the LC unit. Turn

counterclockwise to reduce the range of

the Field (LED1 is dim), turn clockwise

to expand the range of the Field (LED1

is bright).

5. As you adjust, use a Tag to test the

range of the Field to ensure there is

adequate coverage for the zone.

6. Replace jumper JP2 and the LC cover

with spanner screws.

7. Reset the zone by entering a valid code

into the zone Keypad.

2-10 The LC unit LC 1200 Manual

Stagger Tuning

Stagger Tuning allows monitored zones to be

located closer than the normal minimum 70 feet

distance by using different Tx operating

frequencies for adjacent zones.

When two LC units are close enough to “see” a

Tag in the other zone, you should implement

Stagger Tuning. This will help keep egress

alarms associated with the appropriate LC unit.

To implement Stagger Tuning, refer to Figure

2.6 and use the following instructions:

1. Notify staff and security that you will be

adjusting the zone and they will need to

pay special attention to area traffic

during this time.

2. Open the LC unit cover by removing the

two spanner screws. A Tamper alarm

will be generated.

3. Silence the Tamper alarm by removing

jumper JP2 (Tone Enable).

4. Remove power to the LC unit by

unplugging the unit or removing the P3

terminal block

5. The LC unit comes from the factory

with 2 different crystals, normally Y1

(130 KHZ) and Y2 (132 KHZ).

6. Jumper JP1 on the LC unit selects which

crystal frequency is in use. Position 1-2

selects crystal Y1. Position 2-3 selects

crystal Y2. Place the jumper in the

desired position.

7. Restore power to the LC unit after you

have set the jumper in place.

8. Retune the zone (see page 2-7).

9. Confirm the frequency has been

changed by testing the zone. Generate

an alarm in the adjacent zone and make

sure it does not alarm in the current zone

and then test again vice versa.

10. When finished, replace jumper JP2 and

the LC cover with spanner screws.

11. Reset the zone by entering a valid code

into the zone Keypad.

IMPORTANT:

A Tamper alarm will be generated when you

remove the LC unit cover or if you remove

power from the unit (and a 9V NiCAD

battery is installed) a Power Loss Supervisor

alarm will be generated.

LED Tag

 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 (Part # 660008; Figure 3.5) 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.

An LED 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

or locating sources of electrical noise.

To verify proper zone coverage with an

LED Tag, use the following instructions:

1. Using a TAD, activate the LED Tag.

NOTE: The Signal Strength LEDs

of the TAD will not indicate the

state of the LED Tag. Once

activated the LED Tag’s LED will

illuminate when it is in a Tx

Activation Field. Therefore, to

verify the LED Tag is active, turn

on the TAD and place the LED Tag

near it. The LED Tag’s LED should

illuminate (since a TAD has a small

Tx Activation Field associated with

it).

2. With the LED Tag in your hand,

slowly approach each zone at

various angles and orientations. The

LED Tag’s LED will illuminate

when it detects the zone’s Tx

Activation Field.

Figure 3.5 The LED Tag

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 LED

Tag using a TAD.

3-4 Tags & TAD LC 1200 Manual

Identifying Foreign Tag-Activating

Sources

In addition to verifying proper zone

coverage, an LED Tag (Figure 3.5) 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 an LED

Tag, use the following instructions:

1. Using a TAD, activate the LED Tag.

NOTE: The Signal Strength LEDs

of the TAD will not indicate the

state of the LED Tag. Once

activated the LED Tag’s LED will

illuminate when it is in a Tx

Activation Field. Therefore, to

verify the LED Tag is active, turn

on the TAD and place the LED Tag

near it. The LED Tag’s LED should

illuminate (since a TAD has a small

Tx Activation Field associated with

it).

2. With the LED Tag in your hand,

slowly investigate each area for

possible activating sources*. The

LED Tag’s LED will illuminate

when it detects an activating source.

3. Note each activating source and

keep Tags away from those sources.

4. When finished, deactivate the LED

Tag using a TAD.

 Computer Monitors

 Unshielded computer cables

 Television Sets

 Medical Monitoring equipment

TAD

The TAD (Tag Activator/Deactivator)

(Part # 660021; Figure 3.6) is 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 TAD is used to

determine if a Tag has sufficient battery

power to respond to an activating signal.

The TAD requires a 9-volt battery to

operate.

The TAD is used to activate Tags and is

compatible with LT and SB Tag styles.

Figure 3.6 The TAD

The “Active Band Removal or Low

Battery on Tag” LED

A TAD can detect the low battery bit of

Tags. Simply turn on the TAD and place a

Tag behind the TAD. If the Tag’s battery is

low (e.g., low enough that the Tag’s

operation is diminished below an acceptable

level) the “Active Band Removal or Low

Battery on Tag” LED will blink rapidly. The

Tag should then be replaced.

The Active Band Removal function of this

LED is not applicable to LC systems.

The “WAIT” LED

The “WAIT” LED illuminates briefly during

Tag activation/deactivation. Do not move

the Tag while the “WAIT” LED is

illuminated.

The “Signal Strength” LEDs

The “Signal Strength” LEDs of the TAD

indicate:

 The current state of a Tag (on or off)

(Both LEDs will illuminate)

 Tag is Very Near (within approx. 6

inches*)

(Both LEDs will illuminate)

 Tag in Area (within approx. 2 feet*)

(Left LED will illuminate)

*Inexact due to variations of the remaining Tag

battery power, remaining TAD battery power, and if

the Tag is alarming in Band Removal.

DISCLAIMER:

A TAD reading is in no way meant to be

a replacement for taking a Tag to an

active zone to test the range capability

of the Tag. When you use a TAD all you

really know is that the Tag has enough

power to respond; it is not an indication

of the range capability. In order to check

the range capability of a Tag, you must

take it to an active zone.

3-6 Tags & TAD LC 1200 Manual

Using the TAD to activate/deactivate Tags

To activate/deactivate Tags using the TAD (Figure 3.6

and 3.7), use the following instructions:

1. With no Tag in the TAD, slide the Power

switch to the On position. The TAD Power

LED illuminates. If it doesn’t, check the TAD’s

9-volt battery.

NOTE: If a Tag is in the receptacle and the

power to the TAD is cycled, the Tag may be

turned on or off unintentionally.

2. Place the Tag into the tag receptacle on the

back of the TAD unit in proper orientation for

the Tag type (Figure 3.7).

3. The Signal Strength LEDs on the TAD indicate

the current state (on or off) of the Tag.

4. The Signal Strength LEDs indicate:

a. Tag is Very Near – A Tag is very close

to the TAD (within approximately 6

inches).

b. Tag in Area – A Tag is nearby the

TAD (within approximately 2 feet)

5. To change the state of a Tag (from either on to

off or off to on), press and release the “TAD”

button. The WAIT LED will illuminate for

about a second (Do not remove Tag while

WAIT LED is on) and the Signal Strength

LEDs will change accordingly.

6. Once activated, if the “Active Band Removal

or Low Battery on Tag” LED blinks (indicating

low Tag battery), the Tag should be replaced.

7. Turn off the TAD.

Figure 3.7 Proper Tag orientation

LC 1200 Manual Tags & TAD 3-7

TAD Troubleshooting Tips:

If the Signal Strength LEDs do not illuminate

after repeated attempts to turn a Tag on with the

“TAD” button, the Tag may not be functioning.

Set it aside and try to activate another Tag. If no

Tags can be activated, consider that your TAD

may not be functioning (even if the Power LED

is on). Try another TAD unit to activate Tags.

Testing Tags with a TAD

Accutech systems respond to RF signals

generated by the Tags. When an active Tag

enters a monitored zone, the zone detects the

Tag signal and takes the appropriate response

action. A TAD is like a mini zone. It can detect

an active Tag signal.

A TAD can test the following Tag functions:

 Tag state (on or off)

 Low Battery on Tag (Tag must be

within 6 inches of the TAD to detect)

NOTE: Keep in mind when using a TAD to test

a Tag all you really know is that the Tag has

enough power to respond; it is not an indication

of the range capability. In order to check the

range capability of a Tag, you must make take

and test it at an active zone.

To test a Tag with a TAD, use the following

instructions:

1. With no Tag in the TAD, slide the

Power switch to the On position. The

TAD Power LED illuminates. If it

doesn’t, check the TAD’s 9-volt battery.

CAUTION: If a Tag is in the receptacle

and the power to the TAD is cycled, the

Tag may be turned on or off

unintentionally.

2. Place the TAD near the Tag.

3. The Signal Strength LEDs indicate the

current state (on or off) of the Tag. They

should be on. If they are not, the Tag

should be replaced.

4. The Signal Strength LEDs indicate:

Tag is Very Near – A Tag is very close

to the TAD (within approximately 6

inches).

Tag in Area – A Tag is nearby the TAD

(within approximately 2 feet).

5. If the “Active Band Removal or Low

Battery on Tag” LED blinks (indicating

low Tag battery) the Tag should be

replaced.

6. When finished, move the TAD away

from the Tag and then turn off.

Locating Lost Tags

Most lost Tags are brought to a staff’s attention

because they are causing alarms in a zone;

however, since monitored zones may cover large

areas, finding the exact location of the Tag can

be difficult. Using a TAD can help pinpoint the

location of a lost Tag.

3-8 Tags & TAD LC 1200 Manual

Accutech systems respond to RF signals

generated by the Tags. When an active Tag

enters a monitored zone, the zone detects the

Tag signal and takes the appropriate response

action. A TAD is like a mini zone. It can detect

an active Tag signal. Although not as powerful

as an actual monitored zone, a TAD can be

useful in locating active lost Tags.

In order for a TAD to detect a lost Tag, the Tag

has to be active and be in the range of a

monitored zone.

To locate an active lost Tag, use the following

instructions:

1. Turn on the TAD and observe the

“Signal Strength” LEDs as you slowly

wave the TAD side to side in front of

you. Their intensity will change as you

get closer or farther away from the

active lost Tag.

NOTE:

Initially as you search the zone you will

get the Signal Strength LED(s) to blink

once or twice. Search the zone slowly in

a systematic pattern until both LEDs are

illuminated. When searching remember

to check the backsides of walls and

doors.

2. The “Signal Strength” LEDs of the TAD

indicate*:

 Left LED - Tag in Area

(within approximately 2 feet**)

 Right LED - Tag is Very Near

(within approximately 6

inches*)

*Inexact due to variations of

the remaining Tag battery

power, remaining TAD battery

power, and if the Tag is

alarming in Band Removal.

**For a Tag to be detected by the TAD at this

range the Tag must be being activated by

another source such as at a monitored zone since

the TAD is not strong enough to activate Tags

by itself at this range.

***Furthermore, it is helpful to turn off the zone

when searching for the lost Tag. Notify staff and

security when you do this. Leaving the zone

turned on can mislead your search since the

TAD will detect the zone’s signal as well as the

Tag’s signal.

Magnetic Switches are usually located at the top

of the monitored door on the doorstop. The part

that contains the Switch is mounted on the

header or doorframe, while the part that contains

the activating Magnet is mounted on the door

itself (see Figure 4.3). A recessed model is also

available.

For simplicity, in this manual the term

“Magnetic Switch” will reference the entire

the contacts.

Position the Magnetic Switch so that it is nearest

the latch side of the door. If a Magnetic Lock is

used, mount the Switch closest to the latch side

and then the Lock immediately after it.

Figure 4.2 Magnetic Switch Dimensions

4-2 The Magnetic Switch LC 1200 Manual

Mounting

To mount the Magnetic Switch, refer to Figure

4.3 and use the following instructions:

1. After choosing your location, following

the hole pattern shown in Figure 4.2,

drill two 7/64” (0.109) mounting holes

in the doorframe to accommodate the

Switch. This size hole also coincides

with the self-tapping screws provided

with the Switch. Be careful not to drill

these holes oversize.

2. Drill a 5/16” (0.312) pass-through hole

in the doorframe to accommodate the

wire from the LC unit to the Switch.

NOTE: This door frame hole should be

drilled so that the wire will come up just

under the middle screw terminal (N.C.)

of the switch. This hole can be drilled a

little smaller, but not larger. If this hole

is drilled too far out from the body of

the Switch, then the Switch cover will

not be able to hide this hole. Be sure to

“de-burr” this hole.

3. Fish the 2-conductor/22-gauge wire

through the large hole and strip enough

insulation to make a good connection to

the switch.

4. Connect the RED wire to the “COM”

terminal of the Switch.

5. Connect the BLACK wire to the “N.O.”

terminal of the Switch.

6. Gently guide the excess cable back

through the hole in the frame, while

moving the Switch into position over its

mounting holes.

7. While positioning the Switch, insert a

mounting screw through each hole and

secure the Switch in place.

NOTE: Be careful not to pinch the wires

when tightening.

8. Using the spacer provided in the kit,

position the Door Magnet as shown in

Figure 4.3 and mark where the mounting

holes (7/64”) will be drilled.

Figure 4.3 Mounting the Magnetic Switch

9. After you have marked and drilled your

holes, mount the magnet with the 1/8”

spacer in between the magnet and the

door.

NOTE: Remember, if the door frame is

metal, you must install the spacer in

 PIR “Masking”

Passive Infrared Readers (PIRs) (Part # 300302;

Figure 5.1) are sensitive to changes in infrared

energy caused by an object moving across a

PIR’s field of view. Detection depends on the

difference between the infrared energy

trasmitted by the moving object and the

temperature of background objects.

The PIR Accutech provides (DSC Bravo Series)

is for indoor use only. Its intended use is to

detect movement through doors, corridors, and

passageways. The relay contacts provided by the

PIR (which control detect validation) can be set

to trigger on programmable timer between a

duration of 1 to 7 seconds.

A typical use for a PIR is a hallway, where there

is no door to mount a Magnetic Switch to, or an

elevator, where placing anything on the door or

frame of the car might be undesirable.

Temperature

A PIR operates best in an ambient temperature

Operation outside of this range may cause

unexpected or undesirable results, including

premature failure.

Weight

A PIR weighs approximately 2.8 ounces.

5-2 Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) LC 1200 Manual

Positioning

Position the PIR to have the best coverage

possible for your situation.

Accutech recommends ceiling mounting the PIR

(Figure 5.2) to assure complete and focused

coverage of the opening.

Wall mounting the PIR may result in detection

beyond the desired area (Figure 5.3). If you

decide to wall mount the PIR, “mask” the PIR to

reduce the range.

While positioning the PIR, keep in mind:

 The more precisely you place and focus

the PIR, the less likely you are to get a

nuisance alarm on a simple pass-by

instead of a true egress.

 The maximum coverage area of a PIR

wall-to-wall curtain is 50’L x 60’W.

 The PIR must be must be pointed at an

object (e.g., the floor) to be able to

detect.

 Do not point the PIR at reflective

surfaces such as mirrors or windows as

this may distort the coverage pattern or

reflect sunlight directly into the PIR.

 When mounting a PIR close to an

elevator, you can avoid nuisance

detection by locating the PIR at an

adequate distance away from the

elevator doors. The movement of air

caused by an operating elevator can

cause nuisance PIR detection.

Figure 5.2 Ceiling-mounted PIR

Figure 5.3 Wall-mounted PIR

Mounting

To mount the PIR, refer to Figure 5.1 and use

the following instructions:

1. Push in the tab at the bottom of the case

and pull the cover straight out at the

bottom.

2. Loosen the PCB screw and push the

board up as far as it will go.

3. Using a small screwdriver, remove the

appropriate knockouts for the mounting

screws.

4. Remove the left and/or right wiring

entrance knockouts located at the top of

the backplate.

LC 1200 Manual Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) 5-3

5. Mount the backplate to the wall using

the screws supplied.

NOTE: For wall and ceiling

installations, use the two knock-outs at

the back of the base. For corner or 45º

mounting use the knock-outs on the

angled sides. The unit must be fastened

securely to the mouting surface to avoid

possible vibrations.

Wiring

You will need 22-gauge, 4-conductor plenum-

rated cable for this connection.

To wire the PIR to the LC unit, refer to Figure

5.4 and use the following instructions:

1. Using the WHITE wire, connect ( C )

of the PIR to P2-3 (Door Switch Out) on

the LC unit.

2. Using the GREEN wire, connect (N.C.)

of the PIR to P2-4 (Door Switch In) on

the LC unit.

3. Using the BLACK wire, connect (GND)

of the PIR to P3-4 (Ground) on the LC

unit.

4. Using the RED wire, connect P1 (+12V)

of the PIR to P3-2 (+12V) on the LC

unit.

Adjusting the PIR beam angle

To change the angle of the PIR beam, use the

following instructions:

1. Loosen the PCB screw and move the

board up or down. The scale on the

lower right side of the board indicates

the angle.

2. Moving the PCB down will increase the

far range and move the near beams

farther out from the mounting wall.

3. Moving the PCB up will reduce the far

range and bring the near beams closer to

the mounting wall.

4. When finished adjusting, tighten the

adjustment screw in place.

PIR “Masking”

If you have adjusted the PIR beam angle and the

area covered is still too large and is overlapping

into undesired areas, use the following

“masking” method to reduce the effective area

of the beams:

1. The PIR has 3 “beams.” The low beam

reaches about 10’, the middle beam

reaches about 30’, and the high beam

can reach 40-60’ (see Figure 5.3).

“Masking” a PIR means covering one or

more of the beams to reduce the PIR’s

range.

2. Place one strip of electrical tape

horizontally across the top of the PIR

lens (see Figure 5.5); this will cover the

high beam.

3. Test the range of the PIR.

4. If necessary, place another strip of tape

horizontally in the middle of the PIR

lens; this will cover the middle beam.

5. Test the range of the PIR.

6. OPTIONAL: If the PIR is extending too

far outward (to the sides), place stripes

of tape vertically on the sides of the PIR

lens (see Figure 5.6); this will cover all

outward beams producing a narrower

coverage area.

7. Test the range of the PIR.

3. If you are running cable behind the wall,

put or drill out the center knock-out in

the white back box to wire from behind

the wall into the white back box.

4. Drill out the four mounting knock-outs

in the white back box.

5. Using the white back box as a template,

LC 1200 Manual The Keypad 6-3

Flush Mounting

If flush mounting is required, use a plastic single

gang electrical switch box, instead of the

original white back box (see Figure 6.3). A flush

mount box can be obtained from your local

building supply outlet.

CAUTION: The Keypad manual shows the use

of a standard single gang, metal electrical switch

box. Accutech does not recommend the use of

this type of box for two reasons:

1. The fit is very, very tight. If the wires

are stripped a little “long” as they enter

the terminal block they may short to the

side of the metal box.

2. If this is not new construction and an

electrical box with “zip” mounts is to be

retrofitted in the wall, these zip mount

tabs may actually protrude into the box

and then it will be impossible to fit the

Keypad circuitry inside the box.

If a metal box is required, you will need to find a

single gang box fitting the dimensions indicated

in Figure 6.3. You may find it easier to use a 4”

square metal box and then use one of the many

varieties of face plates available from your local

building supply outlet that will accommodate the

Keypad.

 What is Delayed Egress Circuitry?

 3101 Series Magnetic Locks

 3000 Series Magnetic Locks

Each Magnetic Lock is comprised of 3 basic

components: a lock housing, an electromagnetic

coil and an armature.

The coil and housing assembly mounts rigidly to

the door frame while the armature mounts to the

door in a manner that allows it to pivot slightly

to compensate for door irregularities.

When the door is closed and the lock is

energized the armature is magnetically bonded

to the lock face, thus securing the door without

utilizing any moving parts.

Operation

The Magnetic Lock will engage when a Tag is

on the Tx Activation Field. The Lock remains

engaged as long as a Tag is in the Field.

Once locked, the Lock will disengage when any

of the following conditions occur:

 All Tags leave the Field and the preset

delay times out (02-18 seconds; set by

R43 Tag Detect Delay)

 A Keypad Reset.

 A PBO is activated.

What is Delayed Egress Circuitry?

In compliance with the N.F.P.A 101 Life Safety

Codes 5-2.1.6.1, Accutech’s 3101 Magnetic

Locks feature Delayed Egress Circuitry.

This means that even though the door will Lock

when an active Tag approaches, the door can

still be opened after 15 seconds (plus the 1-3

second nuisance delay) of constant pushing on

the door.

If the Lock is engaged (meaning the LC unit has

detected an active Tag in the zone) and the

person pushes on the door, the Lock will release

within 15 seconds (after a 1-3 nuisance delay)

whenever a maintained force (less than 15

pounds required) is applied to the door.

An audible tone enunciates both countdown and

release. When the Lock releases, the red Led

will turn solid green and the alarm will sound

continuously.

To reset the zone after an alarm, close the door

and enter a valid code into the zone Keypad.

Mounting

To mount the 3101 Magnetic Lock, follow the

DynaLock Corp. Mounting and Operating

Instructions that came with the Lock.

Wiring

IMPORTANT:

Follow the wiring instructions in this manual

only. Terminal connections and functions

vary from the locks original design and

documentation.

You will need 18-gauge, 4-conductor plenum-

rated cable for this connection.

NOTE:

State codes require that all lock and elevator

deactivation circuitry be wired into the facility’s

fire alarm system (see Chapter 12: Fire Panel

Interface). This is done so that in case of a fire,

any lock or elevator deactivation unit

disengages, allowing for free egress or ingress.

To connect the 3101 Magnetic Lock, consult the

Connections and Operation section as well as

Figures 9.1 and 9.2.

Terminals

This section quickly explains the functions of

Lock pins 1-6.

Lock Power

Pins 1 and 2 require a constant 12-volt AC or

DC which is supplied DC by the LC unit power

supply.

Lock Trigger

Tag Detect of the LC Unit (P3-1) goes low when

a Tag is present. Pin 4 of the Lock needs a low

signal to energize Lock.

Lock Reset

When Lock Reset is initiated, Reset Out (P2-1)

sends a low signal to pin 5 of the Lock, which

needs a low signal to reset the Lock.

With the Lock engaged, if delayed egress is

initiated and the Tag leaves the Tx Activation

Field before the door is opened, the Lock will

automatically reset after the “Lock Hold timer”

times out. The Lock will not reset is if the door

is opened by anyone during the Lock hold time.

If the door is opened while the Lock is in

delayed egress, or during the Lock Hold time

after the egress sequence is complete, the Lock

will latch into egress and the Keypad must be

reset to return the Lock to its normal non-locked

state.

Adjusting the Sensor Pin

Accurate adjusting of the Sensor pin will help

prevent nuisance alarms from slight disturbances

and small vibrations such as someone bumping

into the door or someone shutting a door nearby.

To adjust the Sensor pin, refer to Figure 9.1 - 9.3

and use the following instructions:

1. Remove power from the Lock by

powering down the LC unit.

2. Remove the cover to the Lock housing.

3. Remove the Fire Alarm Control jumper

from the Lock.

4. Make sure DS1 (the Lock selector

switch) Position 3 is in the OFF

position.

5. Move DS1 Position 1 to the ON position

NOTE: The ON position denotes “set-

up” mode.

6. Be certain that the Set screw in the

Sensor Ring is loose and will not make

contact with the Sensor pin (Figure 9.3)

WARNING: Failure to follow this step

can damage the threads of the Sensor

pin as you make adjustments.

7. Start with the Sensor pin adjusted out as

far as possible while still solidly

threaded into the Sensor ring.

Figure 9.3 Adjusting the Lock Sensor pin

8. Apply power to the Lock by powering

up the LC unit. The Lock LED will light

up both Green and Red (kind of Yellow)

while it goes through its power up

sequence (about 5 seconds)

9. When the power up sequence is over,

the LED will either turn solid Red (Door

closed and locked) or the LED will turn

off (Door open and unlocked). You want

the door to be closed and locked.

10. With the door closed and locked, apply

as much pressure to the door as needed

to fully deflect the door, and while

holding it in this position, adjust the

Sensor pin with the included ¼ Allen

wrench until the (Red) LED goes out on

the Lock.

NOTE: For slight adjustments, there is

a Sensor pin access hole in the PCB of

the Lock. However, depending on how

the internal lock wires are situated this

may not be feasible. If this is the case, it

is recommended that you deflect the

door farther until you can adjust the

Sensor pin directly with the Allen

wrench.

LC 1200 Manual Magnetic Locks 9-7

11. When you have completed the

adjustment, gently allow the door to be

pulled by the weight of the door.

NOTE: When the door is closed the

LED will be Red, when the door is open

the LED will be Off.

12. Remove power from the Lock by

powering down the LC unit.

13. Tighten the set screw with the Allen

wrench provided. This will prevent the

Sensor pin from coming out of

adjustment.

NOTE: Be careful not to over tighten.

14. Replace the Fire Alarm Control jumper

into the N.C. position (pins 1-2).

15. Move DS1 Position 1 into the OFF

position.

NOTE: This will take the lock out of

set-up mode and into normal operation

mode.

position

17. Replace the cover to the Lock housing.

18. Apply power to the Lock from the LC

unit and test the function of the Lock.

Changing the Lock Nuisance delay time

The Lock Nuisance Delay time prevents

nuisance alarms by requiring a door disturbance

to be sustained for a set length of time before

registering an alarm.

The delay time is set by Position 3 on the

Selector Switch (S1) on the Lock PCB (see

Figure 9.1).

 The OFF position results in a 1-second

 Summary for the Elevator Company

Elevator Deactivation (Part # 700027) prevents a

Tag from using an elevator.

There are two conditions where Elevator

Deactivation would be engaged.

The first condition is if the system detects a Tag

at a monitored elevator landing, the Elevator

Deactivation prevents the elevator from being

called to that floor by deactivating the elevator’s

call button at that floor.

The second condition is if the system detects a

Tag and the elevator is at the floor or en route,

the alarm will sound, the elevator doors will

remain open and the call button will be

deactivated.

What to expect

As soon as a Tag is detected, the elevator’s Call

Button for that floor/landing is deactivated. The

Call Button will remain deactivated for as long

as the Tag is in the Tx Activation Field, and for

an adjustable period of time (a delay) after the

Tag leaves.

If a delay is used with the Call Button, that delay

will “fool” the system into thinking a Tag is

present longer than it actually is. This means that

if the door is opened during this delay, the

system will go into alarm.

Once that time expires and there are no Tags in

the zone, the Call Button will resume operation.

Furthermore, if an elevator is already on its way

to that floor (because it was called before the

Tag entered the zone) the elevator will continue

to that floor. If the Tag leaves the Field before

the elevator doors open, the zone will not go into

alarm and the elevator will function as if the Tag

had never been there.

Finally, if the doors open while a Tag is present,

the system will go into “alarm” and the elevator

will be deactivated. This deactivation will take

place only for the elevator at that zone. The

alarm is “latched”, meaning that it will not

automatically reset itself once the Tag has left

the area. A reset-authorizing device (such as a

Keypad) is required to reset the zone and

reactivate the elevator.

Working with the Elevator

Company

It will be necessary to work with the facility’s

elevator company in order to connect the

Elevator Deactivation Circuitry. The Accutech

system contains most of the circuitry needed to

deactivate the elevators; however, the elevator

company will need to be provided with relays.

The Elevator Deactivation cabinet is used for

this purpose.

Mounting

To mount the Elevator Deactivation cabinet, use

the following instructions:

1. Choose your location and appropriate

mounting hardware.

2. Open the Elevator Deactivation cabinet

and locate the four mounting holes.

3. Mark-out and drill four holes

corresponding to the holes in the back of

the cabinet.

4. Push out one of the knock-outs in the

cabinet for wire/conduit access.

5. Connect conduit or strain relief fittings.

6. Position the cabinet over the holes you

drilled and secure the cabinet to the

mounting surface.

NOTES:

The first condition is the presence of a Tag at a

monitored zone. The second condition, in the

case of elevator deactivation, is an indication of

an open door at a monitored zone.

If a door position switch, typically dry contacts

from the elevator control or some form of

magnetic switch, is not available, then a Passive

Infrared Reader (PIR) is focused near the

monitored opening.

Local or State Code may require the wire to be

run in conduit. Be sure to check your

requirements before beginning work.

NOTE: State codes require that all lock and

elevator deactivation circuitry be wired into the

facility’s fire alarm system. This is done so that

LC 1200 Manual Elevator Deactivation 10-3

in case of fire, any lock or elevator deactivation

unit disengages, allowing for free egress or

ingress. Be sure to check your local codes and

see Chapter 12 on Fire Panel Interface Units.

Wiring

You will need 22-gauge, 6-conductor plenum-

rated cable for this connection.

To wire the Elevator Deactivation, refer to

Figure 10.2.

At the Second Condition Source:

If the second condition source is provided by the

elevator controls, Use the previously wired

terminals on the 4- position screw terminal strip

in the Elevator Deactivation Relay cabinet to

hookup to the dry contract.

If the second condition source is a locally

 Elevator Car Deactivation

The following is a brief summary of Elevator

Deactivation that can be given to the Elevator

Company.

Call Button Deactivation

When a Tag is detected in the monitored

Elevator zone, the LC unit energizes Relay K2

and the Call Button for that Elevator zone is

deactivated.

When the K2 Relay is de-energized, the Call

Button is reactivated.

Elevator Car Deactivation

When a Tag is detected in the monitored

Elevator zone and the second condition is met,

the LC unit energizes Relay K1.

If the elevator car is at the floor (with doors

open) the elevator will be deactivated.

If the elevator car is on its way to that floor, it

will continue to that floor and upon arrival (with

doors open) will be deactivated.

As long as relay K1 is energized, the elevator

doors will remain open preventing the car from

leaving the floor.

When Relays K1 is de-energized, the Elevator

will return to normal operation.

consult the manufacturer’s manual.

If desired, the LC unit can be interfaced with a

Timer. A Timer allows the user to engage or

disengage certain system functions on a time

schedule. A typical application of a Timer would

be at a perimeter door that has high traffic

during the day but almost not traffic at night.

During the day it may make sense to allow the

free ingress and egress of staff and visitors, but

at night, locking the door would mean added

security for staff and residents.

Accutech provides the AlarmSaf FT-100 Timer

(Part # 700018; Figure 13.1) which uses military

time units and can be set for daily, weekly or

block period events.

A SAP weighs approximately 1 pound.

14-2 Alert Panels LC 1200 Manual

Mounting

To mount a SAP, use the following instructions:

1. Remove the front panel from its frame.

2. Using the SAP frame as a template,

mark the four mounting holes on the

mounting surface.

3. Drill the mounting holes.

4. Secure the SAP frame to the mounting

surface using appropriate hardware and

replace the front panel.

Wiring

You will need 22-gauge, 6-conductor plenum-

rated cable for this connection.

To wire a SAP to an LC unit, refer to Figure

14.2 and use the following instructions:

1. Run a separate 6-conductor unshielded

cable for each SAP that is connecting to

an LC unit. The wire gauge will be

based upon the distance it will run. On

the SAP panel, P1 is for Zone 1, P2 is

for Zone 2 and so on.

2. For each zone, connect the appropriate

alarm outputs into their respective pins.

3. A SAP only needs the use of 2 of these

wires for all but one zone. That zone

will be the one that provides power to

connector labeled P9 near the bottom of

the SAP circuit board.

4. If you have locks or elevator

deactivation, you need to run a single

conductor cable from the Fire Panel

Interface (FPI) for the fire alarm

indicator.

5. For systems that do not have restraints

(Magnetic Locks, Elevator Deactivation,

or Automatic Door Deactivation) a Fire

Panel Interface (FPI) is not necessary

unless you want Fire Alarm notification

on the SAP/GDP.

6. Remember SAPs, GDPs, and FPIs must

be powered separately from an LC unit.

Tag:

What can I use to clean Tags?

Use antibacterial wipes or hydrogen

peroxide (wipe, do not soak) to clean Tags.

How should I store Tags?

Ideally, to preserve battery life, Tags should

be turned off with a TAD. However, if you

do not have a 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.

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 a TAD or

taking the Tag to a monitored zone (this may

cause alarms). For more information on the

TAD, see chapter 3.

How often should I check a Tag’s battery

with my TAD?

Accutech recommends testing a Tag’s

battery during assignment 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.

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 12 months usage.

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.

What is the Tag case made of?

The Tag case is made of FDA-approved

Lexan® plastic

Tag Band:

What is the Tag band made of?

The Tag band is nylon-mesh-reinforced

latex-free vinyl.

Are Tag bands reusable?

No. Tag bands are for one-time use only.

TAD:

How long will the 9-volt battery last in the

TAD?

The life of the 9-volt battery in the TAD is

dependant upon usage. You should always

switch off the TAD when not in use.

Can I use a rechargeable battery in the

TAD?

Yes.

16-2 FAQ & Troubleshooting LC 1200 Manual

LC 1200 Manual FAQ & Troubleshooting 16-3

Troubleshooting

A Tag is not being detected by the monitored

zone.

1. Use a TAD to verify Tag is active.

2. Use a TAD to verify Tag battery is

sufficient.

3. Verify proper zone coverage (page 3-3)

4. Verify proper zone wiring of LC unit

I am getting an abundance of nuisance alarms.

A nuisance alarm is undesired alarm activation

stemming from such things improper zone

coverage and the improper storage of Tags.

1. Verify proper zone coverage. Proper

zone coverage fully protects the

intended area without extending into

other areas (see page 3-3 “Verifying

proper zone coverage” and page 2-8

“Adjusting the Tx Activation Field”).

2. Be sure proper Tag storage techniques

are followed (see page 3-2)

When I escort a patient through a zone via a

Keypad Reset, the Reset time allotted is too brief

and an alarm occurs.

Adjust the Keypad Escort time to accommodate

slower moving patients (see page 6-9)

An alarm has occurred and I am addressing the

alarm but the internal piezo buzzer will not

cease.

1. After you have identified the cause of

the alarm and are addressing it, you may

silence the internal piezo buzzer by

removing the LC unit cover and jumper

JP2 (Tone Enable).

I am getting a Tamper alarm after initial

installation or service. What am I doing wrong?

Verify the Tamper Switch (S1) is making good

contact with the outside case (see Tamper

CUT SHEET: Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD)

DISCLAIMER: A TAD reading is in no way meant to be a replacement for taking a Tag to an active zone to test the range

capability of the Tag. When you use a TAD all you really know is that the Tag has enough power to respond; it is NOT an

indication of the range capability. In order to test the range capability of a Tag, you must take it to an active zone.

The Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD) is 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 TAD is used to determine if a Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to an activating signal.

NOTE: A TAD CAN activate or deactivate Tags, preserving Tag battery life and preventing nuisance alarms.

ELECTRICAL:

A TAD requires a 9-volt battery to operate.

MECHANICAL:

Size: approximately 4.75” x 2.25” x 1.25”

Weight: 4.7 ounces

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS:

Transmit Frequency: 128 kHz

Receive Frequency: 418 MHz

The “Active Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED

A TAD can detect a BR42 Tag in active Band Removal alarm;

the “Active Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED will

illuminate blink slowly. This may help locate lost BR42 Tags

that are alarming.

A TAD can also detect the low battery bit of yellow Tags.

Simply turn on the TAD and place a Tag in the Tag receptacle.

If the Tag’s battery is low (e.g., low enough that the Tag’s

operation is diminished below an acceptable level) the “Active

Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED will blink rapidly.

The Tag should then be replaced.

The “WAIT” LED

The “WAIT” LED illuminates briefly during Tag

activation/deactivation.

The “Signal Strength” LEDs

The “Signal Strength” LEDs of the TAD indicate:

 The current state of a Tag (on or off)

 Tag is Very Near (within approx. 1 foot*)

 Tag in Area (within approx. 20 feet*)

*Inexact due to variations of the remaining Tag battery power, remaining

TAD battery power, and if the Tag is alarming in Band Removal.
