The Accutech Systems

IMPORTANT:

No Security System can replace human vigilance. Creating a safe environment requires the

combined efforts of nursing, physicians, security, and patients. Global policies, procedures,

and processes on patient care should be discussed and disseminated. Education,

communication, and coordination are key. No level of security can replace an informed and

knowledgeable staff. Any electronic or physical security system should be considered as a

supplemental deterrent, but by no means an end-all.

The Accutech Systems

 ES 2200 System  IS 3200 System  BR 4200 System  Cut Band System  Alarms  How Accutech Systems Work  Addressing Alarms  Escorting

Throughout this manual, when referring to the

various applications of the system, the term

“Tag” is used to represent all possible

applications of the system (i.e., a resident, a

patient, an infant, pediatrics, or an asset).

Furthermore, the terms “ingress” and “egress”

will be encountered. They are another way of

saying “coming and going” or “entering and

exiting” respectively.

The ES 2200 System is our platform system

from which all Accutech System’s are built.

Each subsequent system adds on to the system

before. Each system can be easily upgraded as

facility needs change and technology advances.

ES 2200 System

The function of the ES 2200 System is to alert

facility personnel of the possible egress of a

monitored resident.

The ES 2200 can be utilized for special care

residents suffering from wandering malady or

tendencies of straying into unauthorized areas or

leaving a facility, pediatric patients, asset

security, and/or infant security. The system is

designed so that each monitored zone is a stand-

alone system.

The ES 2200 System works with ES 2200

System Tags (

LT/SB22) and consists of:

 a Controller  a Transmit Antenna*  a Receiver  a Magnetic Switch (

door zones) or

a Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) (

hallway and elevators zones)

 a Keypad  a Local Alarm*

* Multiple options are available for these components. In most cases a Tx Wand Antenna is used for the Transmit Antenna, however, in special circumstances a variation of the Tx Wand antenna can be used. Furthermore, there are various options available for a Local Alarm.

When a Tag enters a monitored zone, the system

can automatically:

 lock doors  deactivate elevators  sound alarms  flash strobe lights  trigger visual displays

(e.g., SAPs, GDPs, as well as PCs in IS 3200 and BR 4200 Systems)

The Controller can be mounted on the wall near

the point of egress or can be mounted out of

sight in an utility or equipment closet.

A Tx Wand Antenna is mounted on the wall at

the point of egress.

The Receiver is mounted internally (inside the

Controller) when the Controller is located at the

zone or externally (near the monitored zone)

when the Controller is located remotely.

1-2 The Accutech Systems User Manual

Virtually any hallway, doorway, stairwell, or

elevator can be made to sense a Tag and then

trigger audial and/or visual alarms to prompt a

staff response.

All cable used in Accutech Systems is plenum-

rated.

By adding options, most egress opportunities

can be eliminated without restricting staff,

visitors, and non-monitored residents movement.

Additional options that further enhance your

ability to prevent unescorted egress include:

 Magnetic Lock(s)  Elevator Deactivation Unit(s)  Central Alarm  Door Ajar alarm  Loiter alarm  Staff Alert Panels (SAPs)  Graphic Displays Panels (GDPs)  Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator

(STAD)

STADs are capable of reading a Tag’s low

battery indicator and can assist in finding lost

Tags. However, ES 2200 Tags and/or VP

conversion Tags do not support the low battery

indicator.

IS 3200 System

The BR 4200 System is intended for infant

security.

The function of the BR 4200 System is to alert

facility personnel of the possible abduction of an

infant.

The BR 4200 System is the IS 3200 System

plus:

 BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers

(as needed)

The BR 4200 System uses BR 4200 System

BR42) that are placed on infants. In

Tags (

addition to the functionality of IS 3200 System

Tags, BR 4200 System Tags feature Intelli-Band

Technology, which will trigger alarms (audial

and/or visual) if the band is removed or

tampered with. Additional optional alarms (local

or central) can announce when a band alarm

incident has occurred.

Cut Band System

The function of the Cut Band System is to alert

facility personnel of the possible adduction of a

child. The Cut Band System is the BR 4200

System with Cut Band Tags, which will trigger

alarms (visual and/or audial) if the band is cut.

The IS 3200 System is the ES 2200 System plus:

 a computer(s)  the Accutech Software  a Tag Test Station  a Multiplexer(s)  a Power Supply(s)

The IS 3200 System uses IS 3200 System Tags

LT/SB32) that are placed on the monitored

(

resident or asset. Once assigned, the computer

associates a name, room number, and any other

pertinent information about the resident/asset

with that Tag.

Alarms

 Egress  Door Ajar (Optional)  Loiter (Optional)  Supervisor  Band Alarm (BR 4200 systems only)

NOTE: In this manual, Egress alarms are

referred to as “Alarms.” Other alarm types are

referred to by name (i.e., Door Ajar, Loiter,

Supervisor, Band Alarm).

Egress

An alarm (i.e., an Egress alarm) occurs

whenever a Tag enters a monitored zone and the

door is opened or a PIR is tripped.

Door Ajar (Optional)

A Door Ajar alarm occurs when a door is open

for longer than the preset time (adjustable).

How Accutech Systems Work



Double-conditioning

 Door zones  Elevator zones  Hallway zones

This section explains how Accutech Systems

react to a Tag entering a monitored door,

elevator, or hallway as well as alarm definitions.

Double conditioning

At most zones, two conditions are required to

generate an alarm. For example, at a door zone,

a Tag must be detected in the zone and the door

opened or, in hallway zones, a Tag must be

detected in the zone and PIR detection to

generate an alarm. Double conditioning (set

during installation) helps prevent nuisance

alarms.

Door zones

Loiter (Optional)

A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in a

monitored zone for longer than the preset time

(adjustable).

Supervisor

A Supervisor alarm occurs when the

performance of the system has been altered due

to tampering or inadvertent acts such as cut

wires, antenna damage, or interference.

Band Alarm (BR 4200 systems only)

A Band Alarm occurs when a BR42 Tag band is

loosened, cut, saturated, removed, or tampered

with.

When a Tag enters a monitored door zone, the

system will detect the Tag. At that moment

(provided the door is closed, has a Magnetic

Lock(s), and the Lock is unobstructed) the

Magnetic Lock will energize, locking the door.

The Lock will remain locked for as long as the

Tag is in the monitored zone. When the Tag

leaves the monitored zone, the door will unlock

after an adjustable period of time (unless it is set

to latch when an alarm occurs).

Egress

If a Tag enters a monitored door zone with or

without a Magnetic Lock(s) and the door is

already open (or is opened while the Tag is in

the zone), the Accutech System will go into

alarm.

1-4 The Accutech Systems User Manual

Loiter

An optional Loiter function is available to alert

staff personnel if a Tag is lingering in a

monitored zone. The time setting is adjustable

(10-110 seconds) and is factory set for

approximately 15 seconds.

Door Ajar

An optional Door Ajar function is also available

to alert staff personnel if the door in a monitored

zone has been held open for too long. The time

range can be set for immediate or from 10 to 110

seconds and is factory set for approximately 15

seconds.

Elevator zones

Elevator Deactivation Circuitry restricts the

wearer of a Tag from using an elevator.

Egress

If a Tag enters a monitored elevator zone, the

elevator’s call button on that floor will be

deactivated (Call buttons on other floors are

unaffected and no one is restricted from coming

to the floor).

When a Tag is in the zone and the elevator doors

are closed, the doors will remained closed.

When a Tag is in the zone (or approaches the

zone) and the elevator doors are open, the doors

will remain open and an alarm will sound.

If the elevator car is en route to the floor when a

Tag approaches the zone, the elevator will arrive

on the floor, the door(s) will open, and the

system will alarm.

Hallway zones

Egress

If a Tag enters a monitored hallway zone, the

system will detect the Tag and the PIR will

detect motion. The system can then sound

alarms, trigger visual displays and, in special

circumstances, lock nearby doors.

Escorting

DISCLAIMER:

The following instructions are intended as a

guidance document only. Each facility should

review these recommendations and modify as

necessary to meet their own unique security

requirements.

To escort Tags through a monitored zone, use

the following instructions:

1. Enter a valid code into the zone’s

Keypad. This will invoke the Keypad’s

Escort function. The Keypad’s Escort

function will allow the Tag to pass

through the monitored zone for the

designated Escort time. The duration of

the Escort function is adjustable from 0

to 98 seconds (

factory set at 15 seconds).

2. Escort the Tag through the zone.

NOTE: For slower moving residents,

you may have to invoke the Escort

function again. However, if this is the

case, an alarm may sound. Therefore,

take into consideration the Escort time

duration at that zone. If the door handles

slow moving residents often, consider

extending the Escort time or using a

wheelchair to escort residents.

3. To prevent tailgating, once you are

through the zone wait until the escort

time has timed-out before proceeding

(the green LED will extinguish).

NOTICE:

While escorting Tags, be aware of “tailgating.”

Tailgating is the practice of Tags lingering near

a monitored zone (usually an exit point) until an

authorized escort passes through the zone then

immediately following behind through the zone.

To prevent tailgating, be aware of all traffic near

a monitored zone and once you are through the

monitored zone wait until the escort time has

timed-out before proceeding.

Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator (S-TAD)

The S-TAD (Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator) is used to check the

functionality of an Accutech Tag. Accutech Tags operate by internal

battery. Over the course of normal operation, Tags eventually lose

battery power and the Tags will need to be replaced. The S-TAD is

used to determine if a Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to

an activating signal.

Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD)

TAD (Tag Activator/Deactivator) is used to check the functionality of

an Accutech Tag. Accutech Tags operate by internal battery. Over the

course of normal operation, Tags eventually lose battery power and the

Tags will need to be replaced. The TAD is used to determine if a Tag

has sufficient battery power to respond to an activating signal. The

TAD was replaced by the S-TAD in late 2008.

Figure 2.17 PC

A PC (

Figure 2.17) is required for IS 3200 and BR 4200 Systems.

The Accutech Software is installed on each monitoring PC and is used

to display incoming event information. Using the facility’s floor plan

as the background, zone-specific icons (i.e., doors, elevators,

stairwells, hallways, and BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers) are placed at

each monitored zone’s location and become animated when an alarm

occurs.

Power Supply

The inclusion of multiple peripherals into the Accutech System

may require more power than the Controller can provide. In these

cases, a Power Supply (

Figure 2.21) is added to the system to meet

the additional power requirements.

Auxiliary Receiver

The Auxiliary Receiver (

Figure 2.22) picks up the signal from an

activated Tag and relays it to the Controller and the Multiplexer.
