Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
Welcome to the Electronic Monitoring System and correctional tool, created
by ElmoTech Ltd., that has the ability to collect, analyze and intelligently
act on information from multiple sources.
An inconspicuous transmitting Tag (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 Tag and
the MEMS 3000 HomeStation (RF Model). When the client enters or leaves
the defined home environment, the MEMS 3000 HomeStation records the
event. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation then checks the client’s stored curfew
schedule to determine if the event is in violation of his or her curfew order.
The MEMS 3000 HomeStation is a highly efficient monitoring unit,
integrating alcohol testing (BAT), video identity verification and radio
frequency (RF Model) presence monitoring into a single unit. The MEMS
3000 HomeStation transfers the breath alcohol test results and user’s image
to the monitoring center at a push of a button.
The MEMS 3000 HomeStation reports certain violations to the monitoring
center as soon as they occur. All violation, non-violation events that are not
defined as immediate are stored in the MEMS 3000 HomeStation for the
next upload. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation initiates a pre-defined routine
sanity call to the monitoring 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 MEMS 3000 HomeStation detects
and reports tilting, loss of power, loss of telephone line, low battery, and
other alarm conditions. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation also detects
transmitter tag tampering, tag removal and low battery.

To replace the transmitter straps, perform the following:
1. Using the screwdriver, open the screw(s) that holds the strap clasp to the
transmitter and remove the strap clasp.
2. Gently shake the strap loose from the transmitter body, being extra
careful not to damage the metal pins on the transmitter body.

3. Position the new strap over the transmitter body. Notice that the two
small holes on the strap have to lie exactly over the two metal pins.
4. Gently place the strap down over the metal pins and press down along
the seam of the strap, snugly fitting the entire strap to the transmitter
body.
5. Put the strap clasp back in place with the wider side pointing in-wards.
6. Close the screw (s) with the screwdriver. It has to be closed firmly, but
not too tight since this can damage the strap.
7. Test the new strap by performing a calibration.
If, after the calibration, the transmitter does not reset, repeat steps 1-6
making sure that the strap is positioned correctly over the pins. Then
perform another calibration test. If changing only one side of the strap does
not work, you should try and change the other strap side.
