PRU Installation - Classic
Use this method if you are going to use the standard installation technique.
1. Plug in the PRU+: Plug one end of the AC Adapter into a 110 Volt AC Outlet and the other
end into the PRU+. The PRU+ will turn on, displaying the title screen. It will then display the
date and time screen. The power and charge LED will be lit. The charge LED will go out when
the unit is fully charged.
2. Clear Stored Events: Press and hold the PRU+ button on the LOCK until the PRU+
prompts “Please Wait....”. When the display prompts “B=Function Mode” press B button once.
The display will prompt “B=Clear Events”. Press B to clear all stored events. The display will
read “Events cleared”.
3. Test for RF Signal Strength: Press “A” button twice. When the display prompts “B=Test
Mode”, press the “B” button to enter Test Mode. Look at the top line marked “RFStr”. The
display will have a value on the top line that indicates the
signal strength of the last transmission of the PID
displayed. The
value is a
representation
of the distance
the PID is
located away
from the PRU+.
To reduce the
range the PRU+
will monitor the
participant set the RSSI setting in Extended Special Function Mode to this value minus 15%
(approx 30 points). Note: setting this value higher will reduce the size of the area of
confinement..
PID Installation
5. Install the Battery: Remove the PID , baseplate, one strap, one locking bar, one locking pin
and the battery from the case. Simply place the battery into the PID battery well so that the
alignment mark on the battery lines up with the alignment mark on the PID. Rotate the battery
counterclockwise until the tabs on the battery slide under the two lock down posts. (See Figure
3 : installing the battery in the PID).
Figure 3: Installing the battery in the PID
6. Size the Strap: Attach the wide end of the strap to the PID baseplate. With the baseplate on
the outside of the leg, wrap the strap around the participants leg, just above the ankle. Size the
strap so that it fits comfortably around the participant’s leg. Cut off any access strap that is
above the two hole positions that will fit into the other side of the strap (See Figure 4 : Strap
installation)
Figure 4 : Strap Installation
7. Install Strap and PID:
Replace the baseplate and strap
around the leg, and attach the narrow end that has been cut to
length to the baseplate. Push the PID onto the baseplate at the
strap end. The PID is now hinged to the baseplate. Firmly close the PID and baseplate
together by pushing down on the open end.
Figure 5 : Attach the PID to the baseplate
8. Install Locking Mechanism: Insert the slider bar under the strap into the hole in the side of
the PID (See Figure 6 : Slider Bar) so the end of
the slider bar is flush with the strap. Press a
pin through the hole in the strap and into the slider
bar. This locks the PID together.
Figure 6 : Slider Bar
9. Check Strap Tightness: Check the strap tightness on the side opposite the PID. There
should not be a space of more than ½ inch or 1.4 centimetres between the strap and the skin.
Installation Completion
10. Test the PID Signal: Watch the PRU+ in test mode, to ensure that the signal from the PID is
being received. The PID code number will be displayed and the PRU+ will beep to indicate it
has received the signal from the assigned PID. Note: during the first 5 seconds after the PRU+
receives the signal there will be a “+” immediately in front of the PID number. This will
disappear after 5 seconds. If the PID signal is not received within 1 minute, remove the PID
and check that the battery is properly installed.
11. Reset the PID: When a signal has been received by the PRU+, use the LOCK’s PID
button to reset the alarms on the PID. Wait until the next signal from the PID. If the alarms has
been properly reset, the PID number will be displayed, with no icons following it.
12. Complete the Installation: On the PRU+, press the A button until “B=Exit” is displayed. Press
button B to exit. Connect the phone line to the wall and to the “LINE” jack on the PRU+. The
PRU+ will call the Central Computer. When “Call Successful” is displayed, remove the
telephone cable from the PRU+. Leave the AC Power adapter attached to the PRU+ but
unplug it from the wall outlet. The PRU+ can now be placed inside the participant’s home.
13. Position the PRU+: Remove the PRU+ and AC Adapter. Place the PRU+ in a central
location, preferably closer to the participant’s bedroom than their living area, elevated at least
three feet / ninety centimetres from the floor. Assure that the PRU+ is plugged into AC power
when it reaches the participant’s home (be careful that the AC outlet that the PRU+ is plugged
into cannot be switched off with a light switch).
Downloading Information inside the PRU+
1. Connect AC: The information inside the PRU+ should be regularly downloaded (ie once per
week / once every two weeks). Connect the AC adapter to a wall outlet.
2. Connect Telephone: Connect the telephone cable to the telephone outlet. The PRU+ should
immediately start to call the central computer.
3. Wait for “Call Successful”: The PRU+ should indicate “Call Successful” when the PRU+ has
transferred all of the stored information. If the PRU+ does not indicate “Call Successful” the
PRU+ needs to call into the CC again. This can most easily be accomplished by removing the
AC plug from the wall until the PRU+ indicates “Starting Call..”. Once the PRU+ indicates
“Telephone In Use” plug the AC adapter back into the wall outlet.
De-Installation / Removal
A. If your equipment is monitored by our Monitoring Center:-
- Fax the Inactivation Form to the Monitoring Center on the same day that the unit is to be
removed from the participant’s residence.
B. If you monitor your own equipment:-
- Assure the participant ‘s sentence ends on the same day that the unit is removed from the
participant’s residence.
1. Connect AC Power & Telephone: Connect AC Power to the PRU+ by plugging the AC
adapter into a wall outlet. Connect the telephone into the telephone outlet. The PRU+ should
immediately start to call into the central computer.
2. Wait for “Call Successful”: When the PRU+ indicates “Call Successful” the PRU+ has
transferred all of the stored information. If the PRU+ does not indicate “Call Successful” the
PRU+ needs to call into the CC again. This can most easily be accomplished by removing the
AC plug from the wall until the PRU+ indicates “Starting Call..”. Once the PRU+ indicates
“Telephone In Use” plug the AC adapter back into the wall outlet.
3. Turn the PRU+ Off: Press and hold the PRU+ button on the LOCK until “Please Wait...”
Is displayed on the PRU+. When “A=Turn PRU+ Off” is displayed, press button A on the PRU.

seconds.
4. Disconnect the PRU+: Disconnect the AC adapter from the back of the PRU+. Disconnect
the telephone cord from the PRU+ and wall jack. Place the PRU+, AC Adapter and telephone
cord into the carry / storage case.
5. Remove the Pin and Slider Bar: Using a tool such as a small screwdriver, rotate the locking
pin on the PID all the way around two times (in both directions). This will break the locking pin
and will enable the slider bar to be removed.
6. Remove the PID from the Baseplate: Remove the locking pin and slider bar. At the slider
bar end, lift the PID away from the baseplate (like opening a clam shell).
7. Remove the Battery: Remove the battery from the PID by pulling it out of the battery well and
place it in the plastic container in the carry / storage case. DO NOT TRY TO TURN THE
BATTERY.
8. Remove the Strap: Remove the strap from the baseplate. Replace the baseplate back onto
the PID and return the PID to the carry / storage case.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence
Unfortunately, issuing restraining orders does not assure safety to domestic violence victims.
Courts and law enforcement agencies enforcing stalking and domestic violence restraining orders
require assistance which the Platinum Plus 400 Series can supply. The offender, wearing a
transmitter, can continue to function in the community while complying to the restraining order. The
Personal Identification Device (transmitter) will act as a deterrent to the offender by enforcing the
realization they cannot approach the victim without activating an alarm. The victim is offered a
measure of security in that if the offender comes too close to their residence a priority alarm will be
sounded and there is a link to authority for immediate help.
The victim is given a Panic Alarm Pendant, and a PRU+ is installed in their place of residence. The
Personal Identification Device is worn by the offender. Another PRU+ should be installed at the
offender’s residence to enforce compliance with a curfew schedule and ensure that the offender
has not tampered or removed the transmitter. The information is entered into the central computer,
and is flagged as a priority domestic violence case.
The Panic Alarm Pendant transmitter code is programmed into the spousal code in the PRU+ and
the offenders PID code is programmed into the regular PID code (See Extended Special Function
Mode on page 38 For more information about programming these numbers). This will enable the
PRU+ to differentiate between a transmission sent by the pendant and the PID worn by the
offender.

Test Mode
Test Mode which is accessed from the Special Function Mode screens is useful for many diagnostic
tests. Selecting test mode causes the screen shown below to be displayed.
Figure 1 : Test Mode Display
The top line of the display is the signal strength of the last transmission received from the PID along
with the channel received.
The left half of the bottom line provides PRU+ status information. The two symbols at the left edge
of the display are status indications:
AC Power - indicates the AC power adapter has been properly connected and
plugged into a standard functioning 110 volt AC electrical outlet.
Telephone Line - indicates that the PRU+ has been connected to a properly functioning
telephone line.
The two symbols to the right of the AC power and telephone indications represent the following
alarm conditions:
PRU+ Tamper - indicates the PRU+ case is open or has been seriously
damaged.
PRU+ Motion - indicates the PRU+ is moving or tilted.
Low PRU+ Battery- indicates that the PRU+'s internal battery is approaching the
limits of sustained operation (applicable only when AC power is not
connected).
The right half of the bottom line provides information on transmissions received from PIDs. The five-
digit number shown is the PID code of the last received transmission (see Note below). If a '+' is
shown next to the PID serial number, this indicates that the transmission was received within the
last 5 seconds. After the + symbol expires, the position on the display will indicate if the serial
number is assigned to either the PID monitored by the PRU+ (a ‘T’ will be displayed) or the
domestic violence pendant (an ‘S’ will be displayed). If the PRU+ button is pressed on the
LOCK the serial number will change to display “LOCK”.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Test Mode
The symbols to the right of the code number provide the following information:
PID Case Open - indicates the last received transmission showed a case open alarm.
Strap Sever - indicates the last received transmission showed a strap cut alarm.
PID Tamper - indicates the last received transmission showed a strap tamper alarm
(the strap has been damaged other than being cut all the way
through)
Low PID Battery - indicates the battery installed in the PID which sent the last
transmission is approaching the limits of its lifetime or is improperly
installed.
NOTE: The test mode will receive and display transmissions from ALL PID's within range of the
PRU+. If a transmission is received from the PID which is assigned to the PRU+, the PRU+ will
beep.
