Warranty
Stanley Healthcare Solution’s products are warranted
against defects in materials and workmanship and shall
perform in accordance with published specifications for a
period of one year. Stanley Healthcare Solution’s warranty
is limited solely to the repair or replacement of the defec-
tive part or product. Stanley Healthcare Solution reserves

Limitation of Liability
This Product has been designed for use to assist personnel in sum-
moning help when they are under personal duress, assist in the
prevention of infant abduction and/or mother/infant mismatching,
and/or locate assets.
The range, accuracy, function and performance of this Product
may vary from the published specifications due to many factors,
including, without limitation, site impairments from structural
effects, metal objects in the vicinity, placement of the receiver and
transmitter, interference from other electrical devices, atmospheric
effects, installation, and maintenance. There may be other factors,
which also affect performance of this Product.
Xmark Corporation does not guarantee that this Product will detect
100% of the calls for personal assistance, detect 100% of infant
abductions and/or mother/infant mismatches, and/or locate all assets
100% of the time. Xmark does not guarantee that this Product will
not return false reports of calls for personal assistance, infant abduc-
tions and/or mother/infant mismatches, and/or location of assets.
Monthly testing and maintenance of this Product, as described in the
Product documentation, is essential to verify the system is operating
correctly and to ensure that the probability of detecting an alarm
and/or locating the transmitter are maximized.
The failure to undertake regular testing and maintenance will increase
the risk of system failure and failure to report personal duress calls,
failure to detect infant abductions and/or mother/infant mismatches,
and/or failure to locate assets. The failure to undertake regular test-
ing and maintenance will increase the risk of false reports of calls
for personal assistance, infant abductions and/or mother/infant
mismatches, and/or location of assets.
Xmark hereby disclaims all warranties, express or implied, aris-
ing out of or in connection with any of its Products of the use
or performance thereof, including but not limited to, where
allowable by law, all other implied warranties or conditions of
merchantable quality and fitness for a particular purpose and
those arising by statute or otherwise in law or from a course of
dealing or usage of trade.
Xmark’s liability to you or anyone claiming through or on behalf
of you with respect to any claim or loss arising out of the use
or misuse of Xmark’s Product, defective products or materials,
improper installation or maintenance of Xmark’s Product or
products or the system in which they are incorporated, or alleged
to have resulted from an act or omission of Xmark or any person,
negligent or otherwise, shall be limited to:

Patient Security Receiver Installation Guide
Important!
Have you:
• Pulled network and power cable?
• Resolved power supply requirements?
• Selected the location for the PS Receiver?
If you answered “No” to any of these questions, refer to
the installation manual before installing.
Read these instructions thoroughly before
installing the PS Receiver. Faulty installation
can lead to system failure.

the PS Receiver.
4 Install the Mounting Plate.
Referring to the facility floor plan, decide the position of the
PS Receiver. Do not place near metal objects and structural
frames. Ensure that the service light will be visible and that
space is allowed for the antennas. Unless there is a conduit
tray, run the cables at least 1 ft. (30 cm) up and away from
the PS Receiver.
Install the mounting plate using one of the following
methods.
A Fasten to a suspended ceiling guy wire, using:
• 1 multi-function Caddy clip
• 2 machine screws
• 2 hex nuts
• 2 lock washers, OR
B Install directly to a ceiling or a wall using:
• 2 wood screws
• 2 hollow wall anchors, OR
C Install to a receptacle box, using:
• 2 machine screws
5 Install the PS Receiver to the Mounting Plate.
Plug the wired terminal block into the PS Receiver and
install the PS Receiver onto the Mounting Plate, using the
screw removed in Step 2. DO NOT place excess network
and power supply wires inside the PS Receiver case.
6 Attach the two antennas.
The antennas have a protective covering to prevent them
from touching metal. For best coverage, ensure that they
are at least 2 ft. (60 cm) from metal objects. Do not encase,
wrap, or otherwise cover the antennas.
Installation is complete. Proceed to Final Steps.
Final Steps
Do not supply power to the PS Receiver or any
other network device until all connections are
complete.
Once all devices are installed, power up the PS Receiver
and other devices. In the PS Ssytem Manager, run Auto
Configure to install the new devices, and then configure
them for operation.
The coverage area of the PS Receiver must also be checked.
Installation Considerations
• Position the PS Receiver beneath ceiling obstruc-
tions—When mounting above drop ceilings, mount the
PS Receiver below metal duct work, pipes and foil-backed
ceiling tiles.
• Route cables up and away from the PS Receiver—
When the cable is not in conduit, keep it at least 1 ft.
(30 cm) from the PS Receiver.
• Install the PS Receiver temporarily until testing is
complete—Fastenings should be secure enough that
the PS Receiver can be permanently mounted without
disturbing its orientation.
• Point the secondary antenna into a clear area,
away from metal objects—The main antenna always
points downwards, but the orientation of the second-
ary antenna is adjusted to suit site conditions. Point
it away from metal objects, and make sure it is not
running parallel to cabling in the ceiling.
• Observe temperature and humidity restrictions—
Refer to the Specifications table.
• Leave slack in the cable—Leave at least 10 ft. (3 m) of
slack in the communication and power cable to allow
for adjustments in the location of the PS Receiver.
• No user adjustments to internal circuitry—Tamper-
ing may cause component or system failure, or both,
and will void the warranty.
Installing the PS Receiver
• Ensure that the power supply and network
are turned off to prevent electrical shock or
damage to equipment.
• Touch your hand to ground to discharge
any electrostatic charge before handling the
PS Receiver.
1 Record the LonWorks Neuron ID number.
Locate and record the LonWorks Neuron ID number onto
the facility floor plan indicating the PS Receiver’s position
and network wiring path. Affix one of the supplied Neuron
ID labels on the floor plan and affix the other on the PS
Receiver in a visible location.
2 Remove the Mounting Plate from the PS Receiver.
If the PS Receiver is to be installed to a receptacle box, pass
the network and power supply wires through the hole in
the Mounting Plate. (For other installations, the wires are
passed through the slot on the side of the PS Receiver case
in Step 5.)
3 Wire the terminal block.
Connect the LonWorks Network IN, Network OUT, and
Power Supply to the terminals. If the PS Receiver is at the end of
the network, then terminate the network segment with Item A
(105 Ω terminator). Ensure there is at least 10 ft. (3 m)
of slack in the cable to allow the possible repositioning of
