 User Manual Chapter 1:  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.
User Manual                                                                                                     The Accutech Systems 1-1                                                                                                                            The Accutech Systems  ES 2200 System  IS 3200 System  BR 4200 System  Cut Band System  Alarms  How Accutech Systems Work  Addressing Alarms  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                                                                                                     User 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.

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.

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 Alarms  Addressing Egress alarms  Addressing Door Ajar alarms  Addressing Loiter alarms  Addressing Supervisor alarms  Addressing Band Alarms  (BR 4200 systems only)  NOTE:  Whenever an alarm occurs, always go to the alarm location to address the alarm.  Addressing Egress alarms An Egress alarm occurs whenever a Tag enters a monitored zone and the door is opened or a PIR is tripped. When an Egress alarm occurs: 1.

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.

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.  Escorting  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  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.                                 *Some activating sources can be:  Computer Monitors  Unshielded computer cables  Television Sets  Medical Monitoring equipment  X-ray and other imaging equipment  Fluorescent Lighting  Wireless Communication Devices

For cleanliness and sanitary reasons, Accutech recommends replacing applied bands on a semi-monthly basis with a maximum of one month between changes.  1. For LT Tags, with the snaps pointing in the same direction as the Accutech logo, slide the plastic band through the Slot. (see Figure 3.9)  2. Adjust the band length to the nearest accommodating hole for a comfortable fit around the patient’s extremity. Note: Once the band is secured it cannot be adjusted.  3.

The S-TAD (Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator) 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 Tag battery is not replaceable. The S-TAD is used to determine if a Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to an activating signal. The S-TAD requires a 9-volt lithium battery to operate. Powering the S-TAD On/Off The S-TAD includes a built-in power saving feature that automatically turns off the S-TAD after a period of inactivity.  1. Press the Power/Clear button The Power/Clear LED illuminates (solid green with wink).   The LED will remain lit for 1 minute. While nearing the 1 minute mark, the LED will begin to pulse until the LED turns faster pulsing red and then extinguishes while powering off the  S-TAD.    To extend the length of time, press the Power/Clear button again anytime before the LED turns off. Each press will extend by 1 minute (up to 5 minutes maximum).  2. Conversely you may manually power off the S-TAD by pressing and holding the Power/Clear button until the LED turns solid red then let go and the Power LED will extinguish. Unlocking the S-TAD For added security, access to activating/deactivating Tags is locked via 4-digit user codes. See Programming Mode for more information about user codes.  1. Press the Power/Clear button. The Power/Clear LED illuminates  (solid green with wink).  2. Using the number keypad, enter a valid 4-digit user code. Entering a valid code will illuminate the Enter LED (solid green) for about 5 seconds. Once the Enter LED illuminates, press the Enter button again. The WAIT LED will illuminate (red) for 2 seconds to confirm activation/deactivation action.    The Enter LED will then remain lit for 1 minute for the purpose of activating/deactivating Tags.   Notes:  • The default user code is 7139. See the Programming Mode section to change the default user code.  • Entering an invalid code will illuminate the Enter LED red. Verify your user code is valid. Press Power/Clear before reentering your code to clear any inadvertent previous entries.  • Once lit, each time you press the Enter button will extend the Enter LED life briefly (up to 1 minute by default).  • Pressing the Power/Clear button will clear out the user code. Otherwise, after 1 minute of inactivity the Enter LED will extinguish automatically.

ACTIVATING 1. Unlock the S-TAD using your unique  4-digit user code. 2. On the back of the S-TAD, place the inactive Tag in the correct orientation within the Tag receptacle. On the front of the S-TAD, the Tag graphic’s LED is off (just like the physical Tag’s LED is off). 3. Press the Enter button (green LED lit). The Wait LED will illuminate (red) for 2 seconds. The Tag graphic’s LED on the S-TAD will illuminate (pulsing yellow) indicating the Tag is active (just like the physical Tag’s LED will illuminate). 4. If a Low Tag Battery condition is detected, the Low Tag Battery LED will illuminate red. 5. If a band alarm condition is detected, the Band LED will illuminate red. Likewise, if a band compromise condition is detected, the Band LED will illuminate half green and half red. Note: Band alarm, band compromise, 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).  DEACTIVATING 1. Unlock the S-TAD using your unique  4-digit user code. 2. On the back of the S-TAD, place the active Tag in the correct orientation within the Tag receptacle. On the front of the S-TAD, the Tag graphic’s LED will be pulsing yellow (just like the physical Tag’s LED will be pulsing). 3. Press the Enter button (green LED lit). The Wait LED will illuminate (red) for 2 seconds. The Tag graphic’s LED on the S-TAD will extinguish indicating the Tag is deactivated (just like the physical Tag’s LED will extinguish).

The software is for notification and reporting purposes only and does not affect nor control the physical Accutech Security System components. The following chapter details Accutech Software 7.0. Software features will vary depending upon your version number, build, and system settings.  The Accutech Software is installed on each monitoring computer and is used to display incoming active event information.  Using the facility’s floor plan as the background, zone-specific icons  (i.e., doors, elevators, stairwells, hallway, and band removal receivers)  are placed at each monitored zone’s location and become animated when an alarm event occurs.  Floor plans can be monitored locally or remotely. Customizable event handing (displaying, logging, and clearing) Tags are assigned to specific patients, residents, infants or assets. Customizable savable/printable Reports  (sort by start date/end date, event type, zone location, and or Tag number) Automatic daily database backup.

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.   4. Each door should lock as you approach. NOTE: You may be able to hear the lock “click” as it changes states. Otherwise, For 3000 Series Magnetic Locks, you 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 verify the FPI is set properly. e. Call your Accutech Representative. 8. To reset the Lock, deactivate the test Tag or leave the monitored zone. Depending upon your settings, the Lock may disengage itself automatically. Otherwise enter a Keypad Reset code.

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 verify that doors are unlocked and egress is possible. Elevators should be inoperable due to the fire alarm.  4. Record the results (pass or fail).

If a zone fails to disengage during the fire alarm, call your system service technician immediately for further assistance. 6. After your facility’s fire alarm has been reset the FPI may automatically reset or press the Reset button on the outside of the FPI enclosure to reset the FPI and engage all restraints. NOTE: The Reset button on the FPI enclosure will not work during the fire alarm. You must reset the fire alarm first and then reset the FPI. 7. Return to each tested zone with the test Tag and verify that doors now lock and elevators disable as you approach. 8. Using an S-TAD, deactivate the test 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 testing zone performance and alarms will be generated. They should pay special attention to traffic during this time. 2. With the cloth band, place the BR42 test Tag snugly around your index finger. 3. Using an S-TAD, activate BR42 test Tag. Proceed to the area to be tested, remove the Tag from your finger and place it loosely in the palm of your hand. A Band Alarm should be generated.  NOTE: If you are testing near a Zone Receiver you may also generate Loiter alarms during this test.

User Manual    FAQ F-1  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?

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.
