1 Introduction
Welcome to the Electronic Monitoring System and correctional
tool, created by Elmo-Tech Ltd. that has the ability to collect,
analyze and intelligently act on information from multiple
sources.
An inconspicuous Transmitter (TX) is attached to the client's
ankle or wrist by means of a tamper-detecting strap. The
client's presence (or absence) is tracked constantly by radio
transmissions between the Transmitter and the E3 Receiver Unit
(DCU-2010 or DCU-2010C). When the client enters or leaves
the defined home environment, the E3 Receiver Unit records the
event. The E3 Receiver Unit then checks the client’s stored
curfew schedule to determine if the event is in violation of his or
her curfew order.
The E3 Receiver Unit reports certain violations to the Monitor
Center as soon as they occur. All violation, non-violation events
that are not defined as immediate are stored in the E3 Receiver
Unit for the next upload. The E3 Receiver Unit initiates a pre-
defined routine sanity call to the Monitor Center in order to
report the status of the equipment and upload stored events.
This event information completes the audit trail of the client’s
behavior.
The E3 Receiver Unit detects and reports tilting, loss of power,
loss of telephone line, low battery, and other alarm conditions.
The E3 Receiver Unit also detects Transmitter tampering,
Transmitter removal and low battery.

following:
1. Enter the Offender’s personal information and E3 Receiver
Unit configuration parameters into the Electronic Monitoring
System software application. This can be done well in
advance, even before the actual monitoring equipment is
allocated and installed.
2. Enter the following equipment data into the Electronic
Monitoring System software application:
f E3 Receiver Unit serial number
f Transmitter serial number
3. Check that the serial numbers entered match the numbers
on each of the equipment items.

that the clips are closed properly.
Note: Once the Transmitter has been activated and
attached to the offender’s wrist or ankle and the relevant
offender is within the defined reception range of the E3
Receiver Unit, the E3 Receiver Unit locks onto and starts to
monitor the Transmitter.
5 Activating the E3 Receiver Unit
In order to activate the E3 Receiver Unit, you will first need to
download the Offender’s curfew schedule and the E3 Receiver
Unit’s operational parameters.
Downloading Curfew Schedules and Operational
Parameters
Downloading the curfew schedule and general operational
parameters requires that the central monitoring server (CMS)
located at the monitoring center initiate a call to the E3 Receiver
Unit. Once the appropriate landline connection is made, the
download process can commence.
To initiate the download:
1. Verify that the right LED located on the back panel of the E3
Receiver Unit is constantly on and not flashing.
Note: If the right LED is flashing, it means that the line is
currently busy and you will have to wait until the line is
free.
2. Using a mobile phone, call the monitoring center and ask the
monitoring personnel to perform a manual download.
3. Monitor the download communication process directly from
the E3 Receiver unit (LED panel).
13
E3 Receiver Unit and Transmitter Installation Guide
The monitoring center personnel will call back to confirm a
successful download, or to inform you that the download failed
and must be initiated again. If the download was successful, the
following data will be downloaded:
f Transmitter serial number
f The offender’s curfew schedule
f Sanity call time intervals
f E3 Receiver Unit event configuration
f E3 Receiver Unit initial range setting
f Grace time and violation sensitivity settings
f E3 Receiver Unit operational parameters
After the download process has been confirmed as successful,
the E3 Receiver Unit will automatically switch to monitoring
mode.
Note: Monitoring mode will only start if the Offender’s
defined program start time, as defined in the Electronic
Monitoring System software application, has arrived.
Performing a Range Test
A range test is performed in order to define the appropriate
reception range between the Transmitter and the E3 Receiver
Unit. The range test is designed in order to create a limited free
movement area. The Offender will use this limited free
movement area while he/she is inside his/her home monitoring
environment.
To perform range test:
1. Estimate the size of the Offenders premises and decide on
the initial range setting for the E3 Receiver Unit (e.g.
medium).
14
5 Activating the E3 Receiver Unit
2. Verify that the telephone line LED (right) located on the
back panel of the E3 Receiver Unit is constantly on and not
flashing.
3. Using a mobile phone, call the monitoring center and ask the
monitoring personnel, first, to adjust the range settings in
the monitoring center software application to the range
setting that you noted during your estimation, and then to
perform a range test (start range).
Once the range test has been activated, the following occurs:
f The Offender’s telephone rings 2-3 times and then stops.
f The telephone line LED (right) located on the back panel on
the E3 Receiver Unit flashes and then returns to its steady
state.
f The Transmitter reception LED (middle) blinks 3 times in
quick succession accompanied by 3 audible beeping sounds.
This indicates that the E3 Receiver Unit is in range test
mode and the range test has started.
Note: The E3 Receiver Unit will be in range test mode for
approximately 15 minutes, unless the monitoring center
personnel terminate the range test manually.
4. Escort the Offender to the following locations in his/her
home monitoring environment:
f Locations that are the most distant from the E3 Receiver
Unit
f Locations behind large metal objects
f Location where the Offender spends long periods of time
(bedroom. toilet, living room, etc.)
f Remote location where the Offender is allowed to be
while in his/her home monitoring environment (garage,
cellar, yard, garden, etc.)
15
E3 Receiver Unit and Transmitter Installation Guide
16
f Any location that your experience and common sense
suggests to be a viable location for range testing
5. An assistant should stand next to the E3 Receiver Unit and
observe the Transmitter reception LCD (middle). Every time
the E3 Receiver Unit receives a transmission signal from the
Offender’s Transmitter (approx. every 20 seconds) the
Transmitter reception LCD (middle) flashes 3 times in quick
succession.
6. Wait at least two minutes in each range testing location.
Note: During these two minutes, four transmissions should
be received from the Transmitter.
If four or more transmissions are received from the
Transmitter before the two minutes have elapsed, you can
move onto the next location.
If less than four transmissions are received, call the monitor
center personnel and request a change in the range setting,
preferably to a longer range.
If the range setting is already set at its maximum range and
you still don’t receive four transmissions in a two-minute
time period, you will need to relocate the E3 Receiver Unit
and restart the range test.
7. After satisfactory testing of all relevant locations, call the
monitoring center and ask the monitoring personnel to
manually stop the range test (end range).
8. Upon ending the range test the E3 Receiver Unit makes an
audible beeping sound to indicate the range test completion.
