STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Quick InstallQuick InstallThe Quick Install feature enables the installer to easily setup the PRU+ / PID set and have thePRU+ determine if the setup is completed. The Quick Install feature is designed to prompt theinstaller for any setup requirements that have not been met. Once all the criteria has been met theunit will automatically call into the Central Computer and pick up it’s final configuration settings.The Quick Install will display different messages depending on what is still required. The PRU+ willscan the list of requirements and prompt for the next one needed. The list is as follows:1. Telephone Line is present2. AC is connected3. PRU+ Case is closed4. PID has transmitted / PID has been received by PRU+5. PID has transmitted with a Strap Severe ok indication6. PID has transmitted with a Case ok indication7. PID has transmitted with a Battery ok indicationOnce these conditions have been met the PRU+ will indicate that everything is ok and will call theCentral Computer. If the PRU indicates “Call Successful” the installation is complete.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Quick InstallMotion SensorThe Platinum Plus Receiver (PRU+) contains a sensor which will report motion if the receiver ismoved by the participant once it has been installed. Normal household activities could causemovement such as the receiver being bumped or being moved to clean.When the PRU+ senses motion, it will immediately record a motion event. In order to move thereceiver any distance it would be necessary for the participant to disconnect both the AC power andtelephone. If the receiver records a Telephone Disconnect, Telephone Connect, AC Disconnectand/or AC Connect event within two (2) minutes before or after an motion event, the motion eventwill be recorded as an “Alarm Motion”. If there is no Telephone or AC message, the motion eventwill be recorded as an “..info motion” message.The following examples show various ways the motion is reported and when a motion alarm wouldbe reported:A. An AC or telephone event occurs, then within two minutes a motion event occurs, the receiverwill report the following:Event reported Explanation Alarm No AC - AC was disconnected, no previous motion was recently evidentAlarm Motion - motion is sensed within 2 minutes of the AC disconnect.B. A motion event occurs, there was no prior AC or Telephone related event, the receiver willreport the following:Event reported Explanation ..Info Motion - motion was sensed, no previous recent AC or Telephone event.C. Motion occurs, then within 2 minutes an AC or Telephone disconnect occurs, the receiver willreport the following:Event reported Explanation ..Info Motion - motion was sensed, no previous recent AC or Telephone event.Alarm Tel. Disc. - the telephone was disconnected from the receiverAlarm Motion - the telephone disconnect occurred within 2 minutes of the firstmotion event
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. PRU / PID Preventive MaintenancePRU+ / PID Preventive MaintenanceReturned PRU+'sPhysical Checks1. Check all cables for cut's or breakage.2. Make sure the AC and Telephone cable connectors are firmly attached to their cords and arenot broken. Also check that any connector pins are not bent.3. Check Power Connector Jack at the back of the PRU+. The Power Jack should be flush withthe outside case and should not move when pulled upon. The Power Jack should also haveone copper pin inside each of the two sections of the connector.4. Check Telephone Connector Jacks at the back of the PRU+. The Two Telephone Jacksshould be aligned with the two holes in the back of the PRU+ and should be clear of anyforeign material. Remove any foreign material found if possible. If the foreign material can notbe removed send the unit back to STRATEGIC for repair.5. If a PRU+ is dirty or has any foreign substance on it, wipe the entire PRU+ with a damp cloth.If the dirt is still attached take isopropyl alcohol and rub to remove. If Isopropyl Alcohol is notavailable, spray the PRU+ lightly with Lysol to disinfect.6. Check the screw plugs underneath the PRU+ for pry marks or gouges. The screw plugs arelocated next to the rubber feet at the back of the unit and on the raised ledge at the front of theunit. (See Figure 4 : Underneath a PRU+)Figure 7 : Underneath a PRU+7. Check all labels to make sure they haven't been severely scratched or damaged in any way.Send unit back for replacement of any label that shows any sign of damage. ReplacementLabels can be obtained from STRATEGIC.8. Check that the front display is not physically damaged including the label cover.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. PRU / PID Preventive MaintenanceElectrical Checks1. Plug the unit into the AC Power and make sure that the AC light comes on. If the unit needscharging the Charge Light should come on. Leave the unit plugged into AC until the chargelight goes out. This should also be done to all PRU+’s that are stored for longer than onemonth. The battery inside the PRU+ can be damaged by leaving it in a discharged state.2. The front display should display the PRU+ Serial Number / PID Code. The Display will thenshow the current date and time. If any of these numbers are incorrect, Change them to theright values by using Extended Special Function Mode (As Described on Page 38).3. Using Special Function Mode on a PRU+ enter Test Mode and check the AC and TelephoneDisconnect by unplugging the cables from their respective outlets (For more Informationconcerning Test Mode consult Page 33).Figure 8 : Test Mode Display4. The stored events should be erased each time the unit is changed from one participant toanother. Be careful because once the events have been erased they can never be retrieved.To erase the events, enter Special Function Mode and step through the functions until B=ClearEvents appears. Push button B once. The display will then prompt A=** Clear ** Press A toerase the events. Once the events have been erased "Events Cleared" will be displayed.5. If the unit was used as a passive unit or previously had it's phone number changed, check thephone number. Use Extended Special Function Mode to change the phone number back tothe original number. (For More Information on accessing Extended Special Function Mode seePage 38)

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Individual Status Log ReportAlarm - These events indicate a violation has occurred that needs immediate attention. Theseevents are called into the Central Computer immediately.Clear - These events indicate a violation has been resolved. These events are called into theCentral Computer immediately.Info - These events are for your information only or they do not need immediate attention.These events are NOT called into the CC immediately except for ..info RU Reset.CC - These events are generated by the Central Computer.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Explanation of the Individual Status Log ReportExplanation of the Individual Status Log ReportThe Central Computer will print out the reports for each participant in the following format:-SureTrac ID (81443) : Unique Number assigned to each participant by the monitoringcenterGroup Code (STI) : Code that identifies all participants from an agency or group. It isassigned by the monitoring center.Participant (Fred Jones) : Participants nameOfficer (Jim Ladd) : Supervision OfficerEvent Time : The time the event occurred (uses the PRU+ time).Event : Type of Event that occurred. Please refer to Individual Status Log Report on Page 50Time Received : Date and Time the event was received by the Central Computer (CC time used). The report will group events that arereceived at the same time. This is independent of the event time. It will then display the collective time received at the topof the group.Next Call : Date and Time of the next schedule call. The next call will be at thistime unless a violation (ALARM) occurs.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Explanation of the Individual Status Log ReportReport Reading TechniquesIndividual Log Reports provide the officer with feedback regarding each participant monitored.They provide detailed information on the activities of the participant. It is important that every officerhave a complete understanding on how reports are generated and read.The system is extremely through in the number of events that are reported. The informationcan be very valuable in determining the offenders’ activities. Due to the attention to detail, somereports are difficult to read unless the user is aware of the philosophy to use when reading them.1. PRU+ events are placed into the log file in the same order they are received.When the PRU+ communicates with the Central Computer the events that were stored aretransferred in the same order they were recorded. ie. No sorting is done on the data received.2. Report FiltersReports can be generated using filters that can remove certain types of events from being printed.These filters are usually used to remove any information that is either not desired by the officer oronly adds complexity to the report. Please consult your monitoring center on the type of alarms thatare included in your reports.3. Multiple events can be sent to the CC during a phone call.All events that are stored within the PRU+ will be sent to the CC when the PRU+ makes asuccessful call. The officer can denote which events have been sent on each call because the firstevent in the list will have a time received/ next call header. Non-violation events ( See Event TypeDefinitions on Pg. ) will not be sent to the CC immediately but will be stored until the next time thePRU+ calls the Central Computer.4. Events have standardized formatsAll Alarm indications are in capitals (ie ALARM AWAY). All Clear messages that indicate an alarmhas been resolved end with ok (ie ..info enter ok). Info events are for your information and are inlower case.5. The leave window affects when the PRU+ calls in with alarms.The PRU+ will not record an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave until the leave window has beenexceeded. At this time, the PRU+ will generate an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave with a time thatreflects the last time the PRU+ received a transmission from the PID (ie the event is back dated bythe length of the leave window). Leaves that occur around the time of the curfew boundary will usethe curfew at the time the event was generated.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Explanation of the Individual Status Log Report6. Communication Errors are combined. (if alike)Whenever communication errors (ie ..info cc busy, ..info no dialtone, ..info no connect or ..infocomm error) occur back-to-back that are the same type the PRU+ automatically combines thecommunication error into one event. This is designed to save on storage space inside the PRU+.7. The PRU+ determines curfew violationsThe PRU+ receives a curfew model from the Central Computer. When the curfew is violated thePRU+ will call into the Central computer and report the alarm.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions1. Can an answering machine be used with the PRU+?An answering machine will not, as a general rule, affect the operation of the equipment Although,depending on the quality of the answering machine it may load the line or create an unsuitable linecondition that could cause problems with PRU+ communications.2. Can the PRU+ work with call waiting and call notes?No, these services interrupt the unit while it is making outgoing calls. They should be removed.3. Will the computer call the PRU+ and when?The Central Computer never calls the PRU+. The PRU+ initiates all communications with the hostcomputer. The Call Overdue alarm indicates when the PRU+ has not checked in on time to theCentral Computer.5. Will light switches affect the PRU+?A light switch will only affect the PRU+ if the switch controls the electrical power to the outlet thePRU+ is connected. When the switch is turned off it will disconnect the PRU+ from AC power. Thiswill cause a NO AC alarm to be reported to the Central Computer.6. Will the PRU+ operate if connected to a modem on a computer?A computer modem may interfere with the operation of the PRU if it is using the phone line whenthe PRU+ needs to make a call to the CC. Also, if the computer modem has the auto answersetting enabled it will interfere with all calls.7. Will the PRU+ operate when the phone line from the system is connected to a jack shared by asatellite system?Most satellite systems have been found to interrupt the unit from making outgoing calls9. Will the unit listen to personal phone conversations?The PRU+ has no capability to tape phone conversations10. Can the offender tamper with the A/B buttons, and manipulate the function mode commandswithin the PRU+?The A/B buttons will only function when the PRU+ is in Special Function Mode. The only way toaccess Special Function Mode is by using the LOCK.11. Can the PID be placed in water, or does it have to be wrapped in plastic?The PID is completely waterproof for normal bathing activity.12. Can the PRU+ provide 24 Hour battery backup?
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Frequently Asked QuestionsAs soon as there is an interruption in power, the PRU+ will immediately switch to the backupbattery. This battery lasts for approximately 24 hours.13. Can two PRU+ systems be placed in a home simultaneously?You may place two units in the same residence. You must assure that the two PID’s have differenttransmitter codes. This will allow each PRU+ to monitor each offender independently. You mayencounter some communication errors due to both units communicating across the same phoneline. You may also experience some short leaves / enters if both PID’s transmit at the same time14. Does the PRU+ system need to be programmed for it to be used passively?The PRU+ will only need to be programmed if the line that the PRU+ will call out on has to dial adifferent number (IE additional digits to access an outside line). See the Extended Function Modesection in the Platinum Series User Guide for information on how to change the telephone number.15. Do the PRU+ units instantly receive schedule changes when the officer calls in a curfewchange?The PRU+ will only pickup the curfew model when the unit calls into the CC.16. Can the PRU+ be placed directly on the floor of a offenders home?The unit must be placed at least three feet above the floor.
