The tracking unit operates in unison with up to three beacons that continuously send radio frequency (RF)

signals to the tracking unit. The tracking unit then detects the signal, ultimately determining if a client is

within the confinements of a residence. Because GPS acquisition consumes 75 percent of the tracking

unit’s battery, beacons help conserve the battery by allowing the tracker’s GPS acquisition to idle. Using

the beacon during curfew hours also eliminates the potential of GPS drift, ensuring the client is within the

required confines without relying solely on GPS.

NOTE: You can elect to use the tracking unit without a beacon as well.

In addition to motion and tamper detection, the beacon houses two replaceable D-Cell batteries. You can

place a beacon anywhere from an individual residency to a work environment. The ExacuTrack One

tracking unit picks up the beacon’s signal which contains the following information:

 Identification number

 Tamper status

 Battery condition

 Motion detection

Features

 Water-Resistant Case

 Field-Replaceable Batteries

 Motion Detection

 Non-Commercial Radio Frequency Transmissions

 Easy Installation

 Multiple Tamper Detection

 Abandoned Tracker Locator Capability

 Three Beacons for Multiple Curfew Locations

Curfew Schedules

A curfew schedule is a specified time-period when the client must remain within range of a specific

beacon—whether the beacon is at home, work, school, etc. If a client comes within range of the beacon

during a scheduled curfew period, the tracking unit sends a Beacon Enter message to the central

monitoring computer and enters a “sleep mode” to save battery power. During this power saving mode,

the tracking unit suspends GPS acquisition and only reports to the central monitoring computer according

to the Max Callback Interval (see page 15). If the client leaves the beacon’s range following a curfew

period, the tracking unit sends a Beacon Leave message to the central monitoring computer and begins

searching for a GPS signal (see page 15).

Features

Chapter Topics

Tamper Detection

The beacon includes an internal sensor that detects attempts to tamper with the case.

Motion Detection

The beacon contains motion sensors inside the casing to deter the client from relocating the unit. If the

client moves the beacon, it begins recording the amount of time the unit is in motion and starts

transmitting a motion detection signal.

Variable Leave Window

When a client leaves the beacon’s range, he or she must be away for a specified amount of time before the

tracking unit acknowledges a Leave event and begins searching for a location fix. This period of time,

known as the Leave Window, is configurable from 2 to 10 minutes, in 1-minute increments.

Range Considerations

The following table displays the range options for each individual beacon. The Distance column refers to

the amount of separation allowed between the tracking unit and the beacon before the tracking unit sends

a Beacon Leave message to the central monitoring computer. The Level column corresponds to a specific

distance.

Distance Level Distance

High 150ft

Medium 75ft

Low 35ft

*The distances listed above are approximations that were established in an open field environment with no

obstructions between the beacon and the tracking unit.

Because many factors affect radio frequency signal range, it is helpful to understand the possible external

elements that can alter range signals. Signal ranges can be affected by equipment elevation and

obstructions between the beacon and the tracking unit.

Obstructions

Obstructions between the beacon and the tracking unit may reduce the range or reception. Obstructions

can be minor, such as a wall constructed with wood and plaster that absorb some of the signal;

obstructions can also be significant, such as metallic surfaces or objects. For example, kitchen appliances

may deflect the signal. Certain housing construction materials (e.g., metallized insulation) can also

obstruct the signal.

Installation and Removal

The following section describes beacon installation, removal, cleaning, and battery replacement

instructions.

Placement Guidelines

To properly install the beacon, you must first have enough space and a sturdy, level surface (such as a

table or counter).

Review the following guidelines to ensure proper placement:

 Place the beacon three feet above the floor. Do not place the beacon directly on the floor.

 Ensure the beacon is not on top of or next to metal items, such as appliances or metal shelves.

 Do not place anything on top of the beacon.

 Do not place the beacon in front of a mirror.

 Do not place the beacon in direct sunlight.



To install the beacon

1. Insert 2 standard D-Cell batteries into the bottom of the beacon.

2. Place the battery cover over the bottom of the beacon.

3. Secure the battery cover with the provided screw.

4. Place the beacon in the selected location.



To remove the beacon

1. Remove the beacon from the client’s residence.

2. Remove the screw on the battery cover to remove the batteries.

3. Return the unit to inventory.

Cleaning and Storage

After removing the beacon from the client’s residence, clean the unit by wiping the case with a soft cloth.

You can use Lysol as a disinfectant if needed. Do not use Pinesol or any cleaning products containing

pine oil as these solvents may damage the plastic body. Store the beacon in its original box.
