1 Introduction
1.1 About the Mobile Unit
The Mobile Unit (MU) is based on Elmo-Tech’s field proven RF
PRQLWRULQJtechnology and is one of the many unique elements of the
(OHFWURQLFMonitoring System.
The Mobile Unit is a lightweight, palm sized, portable monitoring device
that can be used by mobile officers in the field to detect the presence of
clients wearing Elmo-Tech Transmitters.
The Mobile Unit is an add-on module that allows officers to discreetly
confirm offender locations, while avoiding any physical contact as well as
interruptions in offender daily activities. It enables officers to monitor
clients who are required to attend work, school, or counseling sessions,
therefore helping monitoring personnel to verify compliance with schedule
requirements and sentence restrictions.
The Mobile Unit includes the following features:
• Ability to verify monitored offender compliance while patrolling in a
vehicle, or on foot
• Minimizing direct unnecessary contact with offenders
• Light, palm sized and water-resistant new design
• 18 hour rechargeable battery
• Extended memory capacity
• Windows™ PC interface, for batch report processing
