Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 1PrefaceOverviewThe Series 7.0 Software supports the 9450 Series, Quick Response (QR), 9500 Series Wired Call and 9600 Series Wireless Call Systems. This guide provides detailed information about the Series 7.0 Software, using the software and using system reports. It also provides an overview of the systems as well as an equipment overview.9450 SystemThe 9450 System monitors doors, elevators, hallways, and stairwells, to assist staff in monitoring patients and assets in a facility. The various transmitters and devices of the system alerts staff if a transmitter’s banding material is tampered with, cut or opened without authorization (referred to as Cut Band for Infant and Emergency Department systems only) or if monitored devices in the system are not functioning properly. The Smart Sense technology combines the Smart Sense Infant Transmitter and Banding Material to give you three additional measurements for tamper detection (referred to as Band Off for Infant and Emergency Department systems only). •Temperature—change in transmitter temperature•Resistance—no motion detected from the banding material (i.e. band stretching with normal infant movement)•Capacitance—change in contact between transmitter and infantAn alarm also sounds if a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone. If the system fails to detect a transmitter within its monitored area, a No Signal alarm is issued.Depending on which equipment options your facility has installed, the 9450 System can automatically lock doors and deactivate elevators. In addition, the system sounds an alarm at the Central Server and its network of Client computers when the event occurs. If configured, alarms are also annunciated at remote notification locations (i.e. pagers, walkie-talkie, Quick Look Interface).With the Mother/Infant Matching feature activated, an alarm is generated if there is a mismatch, meaning the Infant and Mother transmitters do not match; a linking error, meaning there is a problem linking the Infant transmitter to a Mother transmitter; or if a discharge is attempted without first matching the Infant transmitter with the Mother transmitter.NOTE: The Mother/Infant Matching feature is included in the software; however, if your facility is not currently configured for Mother transmitters, the Mother/Infant Matching feature IS NOT ACTIVE.

Preface2 Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User GuideQuick Response (QR) Wired SystemThe QR System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details that are essential in responding quickly to the needs of a patient.The QR System offers a variety of transmitters, each of which interfaces with the Central Server to ensure that when a patient is in need, staff can be alerted via multiple methods (i.e. pagers, walkie-talkie, Quick Look Interface). A QR transmitter may be worn by a patient; it could be mounted to a wall where it is easy to access; it may be integrated with a wireless smoke detector; it could additionally be used in conjunction with the 9450 System.9500 Series Wired Call SystemThe 9500 Series Wired Call System is the simplest implementation of a nurse call system. The system consist of a 15 AMP Class II Central Power Supply, 32 Channel Staff Alert Panel for audible and visual alarms, a visual 9500 Dome Light positioned outside the resident's room, and Assistance Call devices to initiate an alarm. When an emergency call is initiated from an Assistance Call device, the red Dome Light illuminates and an audible alarm sounds at the Staff Alert Panel. Normal calls are indicated by a white Dome Light.9600 Series Wireless Call SystemThe 9600 Series Wireless Call System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details that are essential in responding quickly to a patient’s needs.The 9600 Series Wireless Call System offers a variety of transceiver devices, each of which interfaces with the Central Server to ensure that when a patient is in need, staff is alerted. A transceiver is a device that periodically transmits a signal containing data to uniquely identify it from other transceivers. It may be worn by a patient; it could be mounted to a wall where it is easy to access; it may be integrated with a wireless smoke detector; it could also be used in conjunction with other systems such as the 9450 System and Code Alert Wanderer Monitoring System.Transceiver devices send data to the Central Server on a regular basis. When an event occurs that warrants a response, staff is alerted by an audible alarm from the Central Server, a message is displayed on-screen and the designated staff is summoned to respond to the situation. Staff can also be notified of an event via the 9600 Series Care Manager.WARNI NG : The 9450, QR and 9600 Series Wireless Call Systems are designed and intended to work in conjunction with a facility’s overall security program, including reasonable operating policies and procedures.

Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 5Chapter 1Equipment Overview IntroductionThis chapter provides equipment overviews of the devices supported by the system and device supervision. The supervision feature applies to many devices such as the Alarming Band Transmitters, Pendants, Fall Monitoring and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the system’s way of ensuring that devices are communicating properly and within range of the receivers. This chapter also provides details of the Central Server and Client computers used to run the software as well as Messaging and Walkie-Talkie information. Central Server and Client ComputersThe Central Server is a Windows based computer that runs the software. It contains the database and provides communication with devices in the system as well as the Client computer(s). Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client computers. The Client computers allow the user to perform such functions as admitting, discharging, and authorizing transfers and escorts. Each Client computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as they occur on a floor plan of the facility.The Central Server can be located in any area such as the nurse’s central station or security office. It must be located near a dedicated analog phone line or broadband connection to allow for remote Technical Support access when requested by the customer. Each Client computer must be located in a secure area that can be accessed by staff to enter and retrieve information.Quick Look DisplayThe Quick Look Display shows information from the system at remote locations such as a secondary nurse’s station. When a Red alarm is issued from the system, it is received through the Quick Look Interface. The type of alarm (Cut Band, Door, Check), location of the alarm and the transmitter ID are displayed on a large, easy-to-read 2 x 20 Character Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFDs). As new alarms occur, they appear immediately; the display then begins scrolling through each active alarm. For more information about the Quick Look Display, see the Quick Look Display and Interface Installation Guide (0510-1007).WARNING: When installing the Central Server, proper placement/mounting of the server is important. Adequate precautions must be taken to prevent the server from falling, causing injury to persons. Cables must be routed in a way to prevent tripping hazards.Any rack mounted Central Server must be install in a controlled environment that maintains temperature between 50°F and 95°F and humidity between 20% and 50%.

In the space next to each red LED, you can write a brief description identifying the zone or device that issued the alarm. If your facility requires the Staff Alert Panel to be visible, it must be located on a wall near the Nurses Station; or it can be located elsewhere such as a security office, or a phone operator room. For more information about Staff Alert Panel, see the Staff Alert Panel Installation Guide (PN 0510-1008).

Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 79450 SystemExit Alarm ControllerThe Exit Alarm Controller receives data from the Exit Alarm Receivers and issues an alarm if a transmitter is detected in the Exit Alarm Zone, and the door is open. The Exit Alarm Controller contains a keypad, and/or card reader access device, that allows authorized staff to reset the system after an alarm. The Exit Alarm Controller is the device that triggers the alarm process for the Central Server and Staff Alert. For more information about the Exit Alarm Controller, see the Delayed Egress Exit Alarm Controller Installation Guide (PN 0510-1023).Card Reader Access DeviceThe Card Reader Access device can be connected to the Exit Alarm Controllers in order to use access cards for triggering bypass cycles and resetting alarms on the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader Access device can be an HID proximity card reader or a magnetic/bar code card reader (available at RF Technologies). The Card Reader is interfaced through an RS-232 serial communications port between the Card Reader and the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader and the Exit Alarm Controller may share a common power supply feed.The Exit Alarm ZoneAn Exit Alarm Zone is the area within range of a door, elevator, hallway, or stairwell that is being monitored by the system. If a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone and the door is open, an alarm sounds at the exit. If the door is equipped with a CodeLock, when a transmitter enters the Exit Alarm Zone and the door is closed, it will lock.The devices that are used in an Exit Alarm Zone are an Exit Alarm Controller, Magnetic Reed Switches, and Exit Alarm Receivers. Optional devices include CodeLock™ electromagnetic locks, passive infrared (PIR) detectors, and an External Reset/Bypass Keypad.Power: The red light indicates that power is available to the system.Signal: The yellow light indicates that a signal has been received from the Exit Alarm Receivers.Status: The green light indicates that the system is in bypass or that the unit is in alarm or disarmed.

Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 99450 SystemAlarming Band ReceiversAlarming Band Receivers are placed strategically throughout the monitoring area to receive signals from the alarming band transmitters worn by patients. When using the alarming band transmitter, the system provides an alert if the banding material that holds the transmitter to the patient is tampered with, cut, or opened without authorization. Multiple receivers are used to ensure reception of the signal if there is an effort made to shield the transmitter during abduction or elopement attempts. For more information, see the Alarming Band Receiver Installation Guide (PN 0510-1001). Alarming Band ZoneAn Alarming Band Zone is the area within range of an Alarming Band Receiver, several of which are mounted below the ceiling tiles of a facility. If a Cut Band or Band Off alarm is triggered in an Alarming Band Zone, an alarm is sounded on all Client computers assigned to monitor the transmitter’s unit, a message is displayed in the Event List, and the location of the Alarming Band Receiver that detected the event is indicated on the map on the Client computer(s). Cut Band and Band Off alarms are also posted on remote notification devices.Alarming Band TransmittersA transmitter is a device that periodically transmits a signal containing data to uniquely identify it from other transmitters. Some transmitters are also capable of transmitting information to identify that the band has been cut. These transmitters are referred to as alarming band transmitters.Patient and Infant TransmittersPatient and Infant transmitters are placed on the ankle or wrist of a patient or affixed to an asset. The transmitter becomes active once the banding material remains connected on both sides with banding material in place for 60 seconds. The 60-second window exists to allow for proper adjustment of the banding material. After one minute, the transmitter ID is displayed in the Event List and information of the patient or asset wearing the transmitter can be associated with the transmitter using the Admit or Auto-Enroll function. Alarming band transmitters can be supervised. If a transmitter is configured for Supervision, and fails to regularly communicate to the system, a No Signal alarm will result in the Event List at the computer. For more information about securing, cleaning, and troubleshooting transmitters, refer to the Patient Transmitter User Guide (PN 0510-1013) or Infant Transmitter User Guide (PN 0510-1006).NOTE: The Mother/Infant function requires applicable Alarming Band Receivers.Patient TransmitterInfant Transmitter

Chapter 1: Equipment Overview 10 Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User GuideEach transmitter is stamped with a warranty expiration date. This date indicates the date that RF Technologies’ warranty on that transmitter expires (the last day of the month stamped). If the warranty period has expired, discard the transmitter immediately.Smart Sense™ Infant Transmitter and Banding MaterialThe combination of the Smart Sense Infant Transmitter and Banding Material has the capability to recognize if the transmitter has been removed from an infant. It will also sense if it is tampered with or loose. If a transmitter is configured for Supervision, and fails to regularly communicate to the system, a No Signal alarm will result in the Event List at the computer.The Smart Sense technology uses three measurements to provide tamper detection. Depending on your facility, one, two or all three measures for tamper detection can be configured for activation.•Temperature—change in transmitter temperature•Resistance—no motion detected from the banding material (i.e. band stretching with normal infant movement)•Capacitance—change in contact between transmitter and infantThe cloth-like banding material has the capability to stretch or adjust to accommodate infant weight loss, thus reducing re-banding or adjustments caused by slippage. In addition to Cut band technology, band expansion is also a key feature for tampering and unauthorized removal detection. If an unauthorized attempt is made to pull or stretch the banding material, an alert will sound and a Band Off event will be triggered.Each transmitter is stamped with a warranty expiration date. This date indicates the date that RF Technologies’ warranty on that transmitter expires (the last day of the month stamped). If the warranty period has expired, discard the transmitter immediately.WARNING: Using a transmitter beyond the printed EXP date can result in system failure and/or an elopement.WARNING: Using a transmitter beyond the printed EXP date can result in system failure and/or an abduction.

Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 119450 SystemAsset TrackingAlarming band transmitters can be used for asset management. When an alarming band transmitter is attached to an asset and admitted using the Add Asset admit function, Blue alarms are generated and appear in the Event List when an attempt is made to remove the assets from an Exit Zone or the band is tampered with or cut.Non-Alarming Band TransmittersMother TransmitterA Mother transmitter is placed on the wrist of a new mother and then linked to an Infant transmitter worn by her newborn. When the Infant transmitter is in proximity of the Mother transmitter, the Mother transmitter flashes a green light to indicate that the Infant and Mother transmitters match. If there is a mismatch, meaning the Infant and Mother transmitters do not match, the Mother transmitter flashes the red light three times, and sounds a three beep alarm. A Mismatch Transmitter alarm is also generated in the Event List at the computer. If there is a linking problem, for example, the Infant transmitter may already be linked to another Mother transmitter, a Link Transmitter alarm is generated in the Event List at the computer.In cases where the Mother transmitter is linked but no longer active (e.g. the patient has been discharged but the transmitter was never cleared) the transmitter will beep after 24 hours of inactivity. If the transmitter goes undetected and allowed to beep for 15 minutes, it will clear and discharge itself from the system. Tapping the Mother transmitter will temporarily stop the beeping but the transmitter remains in a linked state until manually cleared, refer to the Mother Baby Match Mother Transmitter User Guide (PN 0510-1020). If not cleared, the transmitter will beep again after another 24 hours of inactivity.Each transmitter is stamped with a warranty expiration date. This date indicates the date that RF Technologies’ warranty on that transmitter expires (the last day of the month stamped). If the warranty period has expired, discard the transmitter immediately.NOTE: Although the Mother transmitter will link to an Asset transmitter, the software does not support this functionality. If this happens, clear the Mother transmitter and re-link the Infant and Mother transmitters. CAUTION: The Mother transmitter can be worn in the shower; complete submersion should be avoided. Prolonged submersion may result in equipment and/or system failure and voids any or all Product Warranty.WARNING: Using a transmitter beyond the printed EXP date can result in system failure and/or an abduction.

Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 35Messaging ServicesMessaging ServicesEvent MessagingThe Event Messaging system allows staff members to be notified of system events. When an event occurs, the designated staff is summoned, via pager, email, text message or phone to respond to the situation. Each messaging media can be assigned to a messaging group, which can be configured to receive messages specific to that group (nursing staff, maintenance, etc.). Messages may be sent to single message media or sent to entire groups at once.A Message Unit is the top tier of the Event Messaging system. Each Message Unit can be comprised of a number of Messaging Groups and a configured list of alarms and events that trigger messages. For example, Messaging Unit “A” can be configured to receive messages for Cut Band, No Signal and Client Missing events. Message Unit “B” may be configured to respond to the same events as Messaging Unit “A” with the addition of Door Open and Device Fault events. Depending on the needs of your facility, a Messaging Group can be included in more than one unit. In other words, Messaging Group “2” can be included in Messaging Unit “A” and Messaging Unit “B”. If no alarms are selected for a Messaging Unit, alarms will default to a Messaging Group. Shift selections can also be selected to indicate that, within a specified shift’s time period, all messages will be sent to that shift. Messaging Delays, Retries and EscalationMessaging Delay allows the user to enter the number of seconds between an event and the messaging of designated staff. This delay provides enough time for the system to transmit location information to the Client computer(s). Messaging Delay is set by the installer and should not be changed without consulting a factory-trained administrator.The Messaging Retries features will retry a message after a specified number of minutes for any event to which there is no response. Once a message has been retried the configured amount of times, the message can be escalated to another Messaging Group.Messaging escalation is intended to ensure that staff will respond to an emergency call. If a message is sent to a Messaging Group and the relevant staff does not respond within a specified period, the call will escalate to another Messaging Group. It is recommended that the final group be comprised of all the messaging media in the building. The final group will continue to be messaged until the call is answered. The system does not roll over to the first group again.NOTE: White alarms for messaging do not escalate or retry. A white alarm message is only sent once.

Chapter 1: Equipment Overview 36 Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User GuideWalkie-Talkie The Walkie-Talkies alert staff members when specific events occur.

Chapter 3: Using the Software52 Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User GuideDevice SupervisionThe Supervision feature applies to many devices such as the alarming band transmitters, Pendants, Fall Monitoring and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the system’s way of ensuring that devices are communicating properly and within range of the receivers. When the Supervised transmitter function is enabled, a No Signal alarm will be posted in the Event List if the system does not receive a signal from the device within a specified time interval. The supervision interval is configured in the Configuration-Units menu. The Supervision function defaults ON.Inactivity Check-inAn Inactivity Check-in is when the system generates an event when no check-in is received or activity is detected within the selected period of time. This feature is commonly used with Check-in Pull Cords but can also be used with a PIR Sensor. If the PIR Sensor does not detect motion within the check-in time period, the system generates an Assistance Required alarm.The Inactivity Check-in feature is enabled during the Admit process under the Transmitter tab. Inactivity Check-in devices must first be assigned to a room/and or unit at the Configuration level (refer to the Series 7.0 Software Administrator Guide).UnitsUpon admission, a patient or asset must be assigned to a Unit. A Unit represents a protected area in your facility that is monitored as a unit, such as the Nursery or Intensive Care. All devices in the area are assigned to the unit, and are identified on a map or floor plan specific to the unit.Some units may have more than one patient or asset occupying the same room. It is important when admitting a patient or asset to a double-occupancy room that you specify which bed or side of the room the patient or asset is assigned, for example room 101-A or room 101-B.If an alarm occurs, the relevant alarm information, such as the patient’s or asset’s name, the type of event, and the location of the event, is displayed at any Client computer that has been configured to monitor the unit. Some System Properties, such as the time allowed for the discharge and adjust function, are defined at the unit level.

Series 7.0 Software (0510-1086-B) - User Guide 53Commonly Used TermsGlobal LockdownA Global Lockdown is when all of the doors are automatically locked during a Cut Band or Band Off alarm. If a door is already open at the time a Cut Band or Band Off alarm occurs or if a door is opened at any time while the system is in Global Lockdown:•an alarm sounds at the Exit Alarm Controller•a message is displayed on the Client computer(s) in the unit configured to monitor the door and on all Quick Look Displays for that unit •the location of the Exit Alarm is indicated by a flashing icon on the map on the Client computer(s)If your facility has enabled the Lockdown on Cut Band Alarms or Lockdown on Band Off Alarms feature, a Cut Band Alarm or Band Off triggers a Global Lockdown. You can configure the Global Lockdown feature to lock doors at All exits or By transmitter units. However if a Cut Band or Band Off alarm is triggered during an Escort or a Transfer, the system automatically locks All exits and posts the alarms on all Client computer(s). This is because the transmitter in Escort or Transfer may be outside of its protected unit.NOTE: When a transmitter is configured as a low priority asset transmitter, a Cut Band Alarm will not trigger a Global Lockdown. High Priority configured asset transmitters will trigger a Global Lockdown.
