3. Several Factors Outside the Secure Care System Can Affect its Performance

Secure Care’s software, parts and products are designed for operation in a wireless system. However, the range,

performance, and predictability of any wireless system, including Secure Care’s, is dependent on several factors,

including, but not limited to, the following: building structure; environmental extremes (e.g., temperature, earth

tremors, air pollution, etc.); the proximity of other wireless devices; the presence of variable speed products; sources

of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); physical orientation and positioning of the equipment; and sources of Electro

Static Discharge (ESD). Secure Care is not responsible for the effect of these types of factors on operation of its

software, parts and products and disclaims all responsibility for any claim relative thereto.

4. The Secure Care System Must be Properly Installed

Secure Care's system must be installed, set-up, tested, supported, operated, maintained, repaired and used only in

accordance with all manuals and instructions (including the user, installation, technical and other manuals) issued by

Secure Care (the "Product Manuals"). It is your responsibility to assure that any person who might be installing,

setting-up, testing, supporting, maintaining or repairing the Secure Care system knows the contents of and has access

to the Product Manuals and has successfully completed Secure Care technical training. It is also your responsibility

to assure that any person who might be operating or using this Product knows the contents of and has access to the

Product Manuals and has successfully completed Secure Care in-service training. Secure Care can not be responsible

for performance problems caused by a failure to follow prescribed and appropriate procedures for installation, set-up,

testing, support, operation, maintenance, repair and use.

All adjustable features on new and repaired Secure Care software, parts and products are shipped with “factory

default” settings. These “factory default” settings may not comply with building and life safety codes or other

applicable laws and regulations in the location where they are installed or operated. Secure Care strongly recommends,

therefore, that the settings on all Secure Care software, parts and products be checked and, if necessary, reset to comply

with local building and life safety codes and other applicable laws and regulations at the time of any installation, set-

up, testing, support, maintenance or repair.

5. Performance of the Secure Care System Software Depends on Proper Maintenance

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 7

Secure Care’s system is driven by software. However, the performance and reliability of any software-driven

system depends on adequately maintaining the recommended minimum configuration of computing platform,

operating systems and applications programs and on regularly performing industry-standard and application-specific

backup processes. If recommended minimum configurations of computing platform, operating systems, and

applications programs are not adequately maintained, or if appropriate backups are not regularly performed, the

software may not drive the system as intended. Secure Care is not responsible for operational problems caused by a

failure to perform these maintenance and backup procedures and disclaims all responsibility for any claim relative

thereto.

6. Only a Qualified Service Technician Should Work on a Secure Care System

Secure Care does not authorize, and strongly recommends against, any installation or field replacement of software,

parts or products by untrained contractors or facility staff. Such work can be hazardous, can render the system

ineffective and will void any Secure Care warranty or liability that might otherwise relate to the system.

Before any software, parts or products which have been designed and manufactured by Secure Care can be safely

installed, set-up, tested, supported, maintained or repaired, technical training in accordance with standards established

by Secure Care is required. Regardless of how Secure Care’s software, parts or products are obtained, they should

not be installed, set-up, tested, supported, maintained or repaired by any person who has not satisfactorily completed

that technical training (a “qualified service technician”.) When Secure Care’s software, parts or products are sold

separately from installation services, it is assumed that only a qualified service technician will conduct any installation,

set-up, testing, support, maintenance or repair involving that software, part or products.

7. Only a Authorized Distributor or Installer can Install a Secure Care System

8. Secure Care Products LLC, requires all installations, upgrades or servicing of an existing installation of any

and all SCP products or systems to be performed by factory certified Distributors and/or Installers with

signed distributor or installer agreements. Customers that gain technical service certifications and maintain

their certifications over time are allowed to install replacement hardware and

service previous installations conducted by certified distributors for the facilities they own and operate only

for the products they are certified to and for the sole purpose of maintenance and repairs. In doing

so, they assume liability for those repairs and maintenance. Any individual working for and assisting a

company who has not signed a distributor agreement and as a result is not a certified distributor of Secure

Care Products LLC will assume all liability of the equipment/system in its entirety. Certified individuals

no longer working for a certified Secure Care distributor is no longer considered certified to

install/service Secure Care Product equipment/systems.

9. Equipment/systems installed outside the above criteria will void any and all warranty given by Secure Care

Products, LLC.

10. Any Work Must Comply with Electrical and Life Safety Codes

It is important that any installation, set-up, testing, support, operation, maintenance, repair or use involving the

system comply with all local and national electrical and life safety codes. If you have any questions about compliance

with those codes, please contact your local authorities.

11. Immediately Have Replacements or Repairs Checked On-Site by a Qualified Service Technician

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 8

Secure Care receives and responds to telephone and dial-in inquires (the “Help Line”) about its software, parts and

products for the purpose of discussing users’ experiences with Secure Care’s system, helping users better understand

how their systems work, and providing ideas about what may be causing difficulties. However, Secure Care cannot

accurately diagnose the cause of any problems or give complete instructions on how to fix problems over the telephone

or Internet. The only way to assure that software, parts or products are installed, set-up, tested, supported, maintained

or repaired correctly or that a Secure Care system is functioning properly is to have it examined on site by a qualified

service technician. In addition, Secure Care software, parts and products cannot be operated or used correctly by

anyone who has not successfully completed Secure Care in-service training. Secure Care’s Help Line is not a

substitute for on-site diagnosis and servicing by a qualified service technician or for successful completion of Secure

Care in-service training. Secure Care strongly recommends that any installation, set-up, testing, support, maintenance

or repair of a system that is performed by a person who has not satisfactorily completed technical training in

accordance with standards established by Secure Care be immediately checked on-site by a qualified service

technician.

WARNING: Even slight modifications to the system or changes in the operating environment may cause Secure

Cares system to malfunction. The only way to assure that secure cares system has been installed, SET-UP, TESTED,

SUPPORTED, maintained and repaired correctly is to have a qualified service technician do the work.

12. The Secure Care System is not a Substitute for Careful Identification and Monitoring by Professional Staff

Secure Care’s software, parts and products have been designed to augment a facility’s reasonable procedures for

protecting residents, patients, and infants. However, no system or combination of procedures and equipment can

eliminate all risk or assure complete security. Secure Care’s system is not intended as a substitute for the careful

identification and monitoring of residents, patients, and infants by a facility’s professional staff.

SECTION 2 SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM

The typical RTLS installation will consist of 4 or more nodes placed at strategic locations within a room or area

communicating with one or more primary nodes via a network link. The nodes receive the RTLS tags and badges at

the 4 GHz or 6.5 GHz frequency being transmitted by the tags. Using Real Time Location algorithms in the

ENVisionIT software the system can locate a tag within the perimeter of the node layout.

Figure 1 - Basic System Diagram

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 10

Note that the Client PC, router, POE+ switch and server may be supplied by customer or Secure Care

Products, LLC.

Wireless Nodes are manufactured by Secure Care Products LLC for use in RTLS system. Nodes receive UWB

signals from RTLS transmitters. This information is passed on to computer for processing needed to determine the

location of transmitters. Nodes communicate among local groups for synchronization to aid in the location process.

Nodes receive one way signals from transmitters

Transmitters are manufactured by Secure Care Products LLC for use in RTLS system. The transmitters send UWB

signals to nodes to aid in location. This information is passed on to the computer for processing in determining the

precise location of transmitters.

RTLS system software developed by Secure Care Products LLC ties all this together. The software allows

customers to know the location of staff, patients, and assets in their facility with unprecedented accuracy.

SECTION 3 POWER AND GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

General Information

Both nodes, can be powered up via Power-Over-Ethernet, an approved central power supply or an approved plugin

power supply powered by a 110/220/230VAC duplex outlet specific to regional or country options (minimum two

amp) within ten cable feet of the intended installation location.

It is strongly recommended to run dedicated and isolated circuit to power nodes and other devices.

NOTICE!

When using a plugin power supply:

Do not extend the power supply cord provided. The maximum distance the duplex outlet should be from a node is

ten cable feet.

Do not connect the node power to a receptacle controlled by a switch.

PLEASE READ SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN SECTION 4 BEFORE PROCEEDING

NOTICE!

This equipment may only be operated indoors. Operation outdoors is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject

the operator to serious legal penalties.

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 12

SECTION 4 TYPICAL INSTALLATION

WARNING: All life safety and electrical codes must be strictly followed.

Installation Overview

As with any Monitoring System, each application can be different. Use the guidelines below as a basic

understanding of what a standard application would be like.

1. Seek prior approval from local life safety officials prior to installing any locking system.

2. Identify all equipment to be installed and inspect for any damage that may have resulted during shipment. If

damage is found notify the carrier immediately and arrange for inspection. Be sure to retain all shipping and

packaging materials.

3. Install any communication and/or power wires, if necessary from the Node to the appropriate power/data

location. Leave sufficient extra length to allow for node placement adjustments.

4. The location of the Nodes is provided by the system configuration documentation. Mount as required. Standard

application would place this equipment on the wall 5’ to 10’ off the floor.

5. Make all necessary wiring connections as shown in Section 9 of this manual.

6. Plug in all power supplies to un-switched, backed up power sources. Do not connect to a switched receptacle

7. The system is now ready for tuning, programming, and testing

Determine if the system is Wired or Wireless

The method that the nodes will be communicating and how they are to be powered is provided with the system

configuration documentation.

Wired connection

Connect the node to the network port with Cat 5A Ethernet cable for the ENVisionIT network.

If using Power over Ethernet (POE), the switch must meet IEEE Class 4 POE+

If using a central power supply the power cables will need to be run.

Network Structure

The ENvisionIT RTLS network is intended to be an isolated network. Connections to existing infrastructure

networks should be only be done after careful planning.

Wireless connection

The ENVisionIT node can connect wirelessly via 802.11 a/b/g to the Secure Care ENVisionIT network. Once

connected, the node will attempt to automatically join and build the RTLS network. The nodes will communicate

between themselves via UWB and WiFi.

Mounting the Nodes

The nodes can be mounted in several ways.

 Flush Wall Mounted

 Suspended ceiling mount.

There are mounting holes in the base that allow for wall mounting or there is an option of using ceiling clips to

mount the node to the grid of a dropped ceiling.

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 13

Locating Node Positions

All node locations will be pre-determined and the mounting locations will be provided as part of the installation

specific documentation. It should be noted that the locations specified may have to be adjusted during final testing

to ensure proper coverage and tag detection.

Prior to finalizing the node mounting, it is recommended to temporarily place the node at the specified location

using painter tape. Once the final location is determined, then the node can be permanently mounted.

See Appendix x for an example of the installation location document.

Connecting the ENVisionIT RTLS device into the system

Once the nodes are connected to power and the network, they must be configured into the ENVisionIT configuration

tool.

Refer to the ENVisionIT users guide for detailed steps to add a device into the system.

Location Specific Mounting

Any location specific mounting data will be added when known. The typical Node locations are pre-determined and

a location map will be provided to the installer.

General process will generally consist of a pre-site visit by a Secure Care trained distributor to take an initial facility

scan to determine node placement.

If the system is a wireless system, a Wi-Fi scan is done as well.

Once node placement is determined, power wiring is calculated along with the number of power supplies. Then the

installation team will be provided with the node locations and power requirements and begin planning and preparing

for node install.

Any Exit panels, EXIU and/or KinderGUARD devices will be installed at this time as well. The EXIU and/or

EHUB should be connected to the Secure Care system router for the ENVisionIT network.

During this time the PC will be set up and ENVisionIT software installed at the factory. All available node specific

information will be factory loaded into the system.

Once nodes are in place, the ENVisionIT software will be configured with the device information for the facility.

When all devices are configured into the system, a system wide test will be performed to determine accuracy and

coverage.

Wireless

802.11-a/b/g

The nodes, when connecting wirelessly to a network, use a secure wireless network that confirms to 802.11a/b/g/n.

Ultra-Wideband

The Secure Care RTLS system uses the ultra-wideband frequencies of 4 and 6.5 GHz and are set to use either

channel 2 or channel 5 depending on the country. The tags transmit a signal that is received by the node and, in

conjunction with the time of flight data from other nodes, the tag is located.

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 18

SECTION 6 SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS

There are two types of RTLS nodes.

 An Indoor node

 A smaller, RTLS node

Indoor Node

The Indoor Node is a self-contained multi-function RTLS tag locator node that is contained in a plastic housing,

The node is typically installed on a wall along with 3 others to locate tags within their specific area.

The nodes are used in conjunction with a primary node in each location. The primary node then communicates tag

information back to the ENVisionIT software via wired or wireless Ethernet.

Figure 2 - Indoor Node

The RTLS Indoor Node recognizes ultra-wideband signals sent from Secure Care Products ultra-wideband devices,

The Indoor Node routes received information to the appropriate locations via:

• Wi-Fi to and from the network and nodes

• Local Area Network (LAN).

• UWB from tags

The Indoor Node will operate normally when receiving signals from as many as 4000 tags or when low levels of RF

noise are present.

The Indoor Node can be used with the following devices:

• Other Nodes

• RTLS Security Tags

• RTLS Multi-Vision Tags

• RTLS Staff Safety Badges

• RTLS Economy Asset Tags

The Indoor Node connects to Secure Care ENVisionIT Software via:

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 19

• A hard wired LAN connection between an off-the-shelf switch and the server.

• A Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) network

• Ethernet LAN and Wireless (Wi-Fi).

The SCP Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) network may be configured to join any existing 802.11 a/b/g/n network. However,

this type of network should not be promoted. Rather a standalone secure 802.11 a/b/g/n network should be promoted

to ensure adequate security and reliability.

The Indoor Node can be used with a central power supply, POE, or wall brick.

All user programmable features of the Indoor node can be managed remotely via the ENVisionIT system.

The Indoor Node can be connected to remotely via an internet connection (GoToAssist) (Requires a connection to

an external Internet from the ENVisionIT server)

Visual Indicators

Visual indicators for power and connectivity:

• Power LED (Green/Red

• Green = On and connected to the network

• Red = On, but not connected to the network

The Indoor Node will relay RTLS information to the Secure Care ENVisionIT software application.

RTLS Node

The Node is a self-contained tag locator node contained in a plastic housing which mounts on the wall or suspended

ceiling.

The node is installed along with at least 3 other Nodes to locate tags within their specific area.

The Nodes are used in conjunction with a primary node in each location. The primary node then communicates tag

information back to the ENVisionIT software via wired or wireless Ethernet.

The Node is available as either UWB Channel 2 or UWB Channel 5. This is country specific.

The Node recognizes ultra-wideband signals sent from Secure Care Products ultra-wideband devices. The Node

routes received information to the appropriate locations via:

• Other Nodes

• RTLS Security Tags

• RTLS Multi-Vision Tags

• RTLS Staff Safety Badges

• RTLS Economy Asset Tags

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 20

Figure 3 – RTLS Node

The Nodes communicates with the ENVisionIT Software via:

• A hard wired LAN connection between an off-the-shelf switch/router (wireless or wired) and the

server. Note that the system is designed to be an isolated stand-alone network.

• A secure Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) network

The SCP RTLS Wi-Fi network may be configured to join any existing 802.11 a/b/g/n network however, this type of

network will not be promoted. Rather a secure, standalone 802.11 a/b/g/n network should be promoted to ensure

adequate security and reliability.

The Node can be powered by a central 12VDC power supply, POE+ (Power over Ethernet), or wall brick.

All user programmable features are done remotely via the network connection to the ENVisionIT system.

An authorized person at Nurse Station can some change features of a node via the ENVisionIT software.

The ENVisionIT Node can be directly accessed remotely via an internet connection (External Internet Connection to

the ENVisionIT server is required.)

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 22

SECTION 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

Real Time Location System

There are several types of Real Time Location System (RTLS) technologies. The ENVisionIT system can

determine a tag location by the data each node sends to the system.

The Secure Care ENVisionIT RTLS system uses a minimum of 4 node transceivers to locate a tag. The receivers

communicate with a primary node for synchronization and management.

Each node is located in a very precise location within the monitored area. Using this information along with the

time difference the signal arrived at each node (TDOA), the ENVisionIT system plots the tag location.

The nodes can use WiFi or LAN for communications between nodes and the ENVisionIT server.

Ultra-Wideband

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology that uses a very low energy level for short-range, high-bandwidth

communications over a large portion of the radio spectrum. This system operates in the 4GHz and 6GHz spectrum.

Depending on the country, the ENVisionIt system will either be configured for UWB band 2 or UWB band 5. Most

installations in the U.S. will use UWB band 5. UWB band 2 is used in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and

other countries in Europe.

ENVisionIT RTLS Nodes

The ENVisionIT nodes are microprocessor-based units that recognizes UWB signals sent from Secure Care

Products RTLS Tags. Communication between nodes is via Wi-Fi or wired network switch and the Windows server

running Secure Care ENVisionIT software.

The nodes are categorized into either an ANCHOR node or a standard node.

Every node must either be an anchor node or have at least one anchor node associated with it.

The standard node communicates with the anchor node for synchronization and control. Each node will send the tag

information it is detecting along with the position information to the server.

The anchor nodes then passes that information on to the ENVisionIT system. Once the ENVisionIT system has

received the information from the nodes, it can calculate the tag position and report it on the GUI.

Communications between the nodes and RTLS tags is over UWB communications. Tag recognition is via MAC

address, the last 4 octets of which are decoded as the TAG ID.

Anchor nodes use MAC addresses to talk to standard nodes. All nodes use their assigned IP address to

communicate to the ENVisionIT system.

Anchor NODE

Anchor to Standard node communication

The master node is responsible for the synchronizing of the nodes it is master for with the rest of the ENVisionIT

system. This synchronizing of nodes is critical to correct operation of the system.

It also manages the data from each node, and relaying that data on to the ENVisionIT system.

The nodes will auto-establish a network with other nodes upon power up. They will continually look for other

nodes and will begin receiving data from them once they are configured into the ENVisionIT systems Device

Configuration.

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 23

The Anchor node is determined during the configuration of the RTLS network and is assigned during the device

configuration stage of the system setup.

Anchor Node to Server communication

The Primary node communicates with the Secure Care ENVisionIT software installed on a Windows server 2012.

The communication is via Cat 5 or wireless 802.11a/b/g/n secure wireless network.

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 24

SECTION 9 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Pre-Installation Requirements

Prior to installing the ENVisionIT RTLS system, insure all material and installation information is at hand.

The basic steps for installing are:

 Locate the placement location map provided with the system.

 Identify and mark the each node location as specified in the site map.

 Locate and install power and network components.

 Route cables to each location as necessary.

 Install the ENVisionIT server and connect it to the RTLS network router. The server will have been pre-

configured with the node information at the factory.

The ‘X’ and ‘Y’ location information in the map is the exact node location, in meters, from a given point in the

room. The ‘Z’ is the height of the node off the floor.

Each node has its own unique ID assigned in the ENVisionIT server. This ID is associated with where that node

should be located in the room. It is critical that each node is placed correctly according to the map.

The placement map is the finished product of the site scan performed at the time of sale. This map shows the close

approximate location of each Node, Wi-Fi antennas, Wi-Fi routers and switch(es) and power supplies.

Basic Installation of Nodes

Mounting options available for the nodes are wall mounted using the mounting holes provided or mounted on a

suspended ceiling grid.

The location of each node is critical and is pre-determined from previous site scans and provided by Secure Care.

The wall mounted nodes are always flush mounted and must not be mounted over a metal wall box.

When installing the node, pay close attention to the coordinates that are provided as this affects the node tracking

accuracy.

Exact final placement will be determined during system testing but should be within a few centimeters of the

designated location.

The final system testing involves verifying tag location accuracy, tag coverage, node communication and

synchronization. The entire process can be very extensive depending on the size of the system and any relocation

issues that may arise during system testing.

Mounting the Indoor Node

The Indoor Node can be mounted using one of three methods. Surface, flush or ceiling mount.

Surface Mount Enclosure for Indoor Node

The surface mount enclosure is designed to be flush mounted on the wall. It mounts using the screws, anchors, and

strain relief provided with the enclosure. Wiring may be routed through one or more of the three provided knockout

locations or through surface mounted non-metallic conduit into the knockouts on the top of the enclosure.

After routing wires appropriately to the enclosure location, use the enclosure as a template to mark and drill for the

four anchor locations.

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 25

Drill a ¼” hole for each anchor location and install plastic anchors provided if needed.

Apply strain relief connectors to the required knockout locations. Route wires through the strain relief connector.

Tighten strain relief connector around the wires. Wires should withstand a pull of 35 pounds without slipping

through connector. Use the screws provided to mount enclosure to wall.

Figure 4 - Surface Mount Rear Cover

NOTE: Strain relief of routed cables is required to retain UL product listing. If above instructions are not followed,

the product UL listing is subject to removal.

Flush Mount Enclosure for the Indoor Nodes

Using the Indoor node flush mount rear mounting plate, the RTLS Indoor node can be mounted to our current

mounting box.

The flush mount enclosure is designed to be mounted in the wall where the node will be installed. It mounts using a

standard 3 gang box and strain relief provided with the enclosure.

Wiring may be routed through one or more of the four provided knockout locations on the back, sides, or top of the

wall enclosure.

SECTION 12 TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting the RTLS system requires a full understanding of the RTLS system.

Types of problems that may be encountered are:

 Node Failure

 Network Failure

 Tag Failure

 Server/PC failure

 Outside interference with the WiFi

 Change in the area being monitored resulting in dead spots

Troubleshooting Nodes

Once we understand how to determine the failing node this section will be written.

The EHUB Talk tool can be used to communicate with the Nodes. Nodes can also be accessed via the network. See

xxx below for the commands and data that can be obtained.

Basic troubleshooting steps

Symptom 1: LED’s on the ENVisionIT Indoor node are off

Potential causes and corrective actions:

 Power switch on the RTLS ENVisionIT node is in the OFF position.

 Improper output voltage: Verify output voltage is approximately 12VDC.

 Verify that the power supply is connected and has an output of 12VDC.

 The problem may be the ENVisionIT node. Replace the RTLS ENVisionIT node.

Symptom 2: The node will not reset when the code is entered

Potential causes and corrective actions:

 Incorrect reset code is being entered into the keypad.

 Check for bent pins on the Remote Keypad if used.

 Initialize node programming and try the default reset codes.

 The problem may be in the node. Replace the node.

Symptom 3: The node has no range with tag(s) present.

Potential causes and corrective actions:

Doc. No.: A03490690 Rev.: 1 ECO: 12274 Date 11/10/2016 36

 Verify that the tag in use is not expired or damaged.

 Verify that the same tag is seen by other nodes in the system. If a tag is seen by other nodes at the

expected range, the node may be defective.

 Verify that the node is not damaged.

 The problem may be in the RTLS ENVisionIT Mini node. Replace the node making sure to

change the device information in the ENVisonIT system.

Symptom 4 The Node is not communicating with the Primary Node

Potential causes and corrective actions

 Verify the node has power

 If the node is wireless, verify the wireless router sees the node and is connected.

 If the node is wired, verify the router can see the node

Troubleshooting RTSL Network Issues

Verify IP address and gateway settings for the RTLS network. The RTLS network should be private and secure.

Check network connectivity to the switch/router using ping and other network troubleshooting tools.

Check system event logs, ENVisionIT service event logs and SQL/MySQL event logs for clues.
