1 Introduction

Welcome to the Electronic Monitoring System and correctional
tool, created by Elmo-Tech Ltd. that has the ability to collect,
analyze and intelligently act on information from multiple
sources.

An inconspicuous Transmitter (TX) is attached to the client's
ankle or wrist by means of a tamper-detecting strap. The
client's presence (or absence) is tracked constantly by radio
transmissions between the Transmitter and the E3 Receiver Unit
(DCU-2010 or DCU-2010C). When the client enters or leaves
the defined home environment, the E3 Receiver Unit records the
event. The E3 Receiver Unit then checks the client’s stored
curfew schedule to determine if the event is in violation of his or
her curfew order.

The E3 Receiver Unit reports certain violations to the Monitor
Center as soon as they occur. All violation, non-violation events
that are not defined as immediate are stored in the E3 Receiver
Unit for the next upload. The E3 Receiver Unit initiates a pre­defined routine sanity call to the Monitor Center in order to
report the status of the equipment and upload stored events.
This event information completes the audit trail of the client’s
behavior.

The E3 Receiver Unit detects and reports tilting, loss of power,
loss of telephone line, low battery, and other alarm conditions.
The E3 Receiver Unit also detects Transmitter tampering,
Transmitter removal and low battery.

2 The Monitor Center or Probation Agency

At the monitor center or probation agency, perform the
following:

1. Enter the Offender’s personal information and E3 Receiver
Unit configuration parameters into the Electronic Monitoring
System software application. This can be done well in
advance, even before the actual monitoring equipment is
allocated and installed.

2. Enter the following equipment data into the Electronic
Monitoring System software application:

f E3 Receiver Unit serial number
f Transmitter serial number

3. Check that the serial numbers entered match the numbers
on each of the equipment items.

Note: Serial numbers are visible on the back or side of
each equipment item.

Required Equipment

Check that you have the following items of equipment before
you leave the monitor center or probation agency:

f E3 Receiver Unit and carrying case
f Power adapter - 12VDC, 1A (DCU-2010) or 2A (DCU-2010C)
f Telephone cables (DCU-2010 only)
f Transmitter with Strap holder

f Electronic key
f Locking tool
f Locking clips (male and female)
f Screwdriver (to open the clips if necessary). It is

recommended to use a 0.2in (5mm) flat head screwdriver.

Note: It is always recommended to bring an extra set of
locking clips, in the event that the first set get accidentally
damaged during the installation.

3 The Offender’s Curfew Location

In order for the Electronic Monitoring System to monitor the
Offender in the home environment effectively you will need to
find the best location for the E3 Receiver Unit.

E3 Receiver Unit Location

The following figure shows how to find the best location for the
E3 Receiver Unit.

Figure 1 Ideal E3 Receiver Unit Location

5

E3 Receiver Unit and Transmitter Installation Guide

The ideal location for the E3 Receiver Unit is in the center of the
house, 3 ft (1m) off the ground and at least 1 ft (30cm) away
from the wall. The E3 Receiver Unit should be located in an open
area away from other electrical appliances (e.g. personal
computers, laptops) or any metal objects.

Installing the E3 Receiver Unit

For the E3 Receiver Unit to receive and transmit signals with
maximum efficiency it should be mounted on a hard flat surface
with the antenna positioned upright. The E3 Receiver Unit
should also be mounted within easy reach of a power outlet.

Note: The distance between the wall and the E3 Receiver
Unit should be at least 1 ft (30cm).

To install the E3 Landline Receiver Unit (DCU-2010):

1. Disconnect the telephone cord from the wall telephone
socket and connect it into the Phone socket (right) located
on the back panel of the E3 Receiver Unit.

2. Connect one end of the supplied telephone cord into the Line
socket (left) located on the back panel of the E3 Receiver
Unit and plug the other end into the wall telephone socket.

3. Connect the adapter end of the supplied power adapter cord
into a power outlet.

Note: If any of the communication lines are incorrectly
connected, a 3-second audible beeping sound will be heard
from the E3 Receiver Unit.

4. Connect the other end of the supplied power adapter cord

into the power socket located on the back panel of the E3
Receiver Unit. The E3 Receiver Unit makes an audible
beeping sound and the left and right external LED’s, located
on the back panel, are turned on. This indicates that the E3
Receiver Unit is in a satisfactory working state.

The LED indicators are:

f Left - indicates that the external power is connected
f Right - indicates that the unit is connected to the telephone

line

The E3 Receiver Unit will automatically switch to standby mode.

E3 Receiver Unit and Transmitter Installation Guide

Note: In standby mode the middle LED flashes and an
audible beeping sound is heard from the E3 Receiver Unit
every time the unit senses a Transmitter within its defined
reception range.

To install the E3 Cellular Receiver Unit (DCU-2010C):

1. Connect the adapter end of the supplied power adapter cord
into a power outlet.

2. Connect the other end of the supplied power adapter cord
into the power socket located on the back panel of the E3
Cellular Receiver Unit. The E3 Cellular Receiver Unit makes
an audible beeping sound and the left and right external
LED’s, located on the back panel, are turned on. This
indicates that the E3 Cellular Receiver Unit is in a
satisfactory working state.

The LED indicators are:

f Left - indicates that the external power is connected.
f Right - indicates that the unit has connected to the cellular

network (network connection may take up to a minute).

The E3 Cellular Receiver Unit will automatically switch to
standby mode.

Note: In standby mode the middle LED on the unit flashes
and an audible beeping sound is heard from the E3 Cellular
Receiver Unit every time the unit senses a Transmitter
within its defined reception range.
