Industry Canada Compliance

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RF Technologies could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. The Term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 3dBi.
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 3dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Acceptable antennas are PCB antennas in all cases of the
Router which uses a 2.4 GHz 1/2 wave RP-SMA.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

Preface

Overview

The Series 6.0 Software supports the 9450, QR and ICM Systems. This guide provides detailed information
about the Series 6.0 Software, using the software and using system reports. It also provides an overview of the
9450, Quick Response (QR) and Integrated Care Management (ICM) Systems as well as an equipment
overview.

9450 System

The 9450 System monitors doors, elevators, hallways, and stairwells, to assist staff in monitoring patients and
assets in a facility. The various transmitters and devices of the system alerts staff if a transmitter’s banding material
is tampered with, cut or opened without authorization (referred to as Cut Band for Infant and Emergency
Department systems only), or if monitored devices in the system are not functioning properly. An alarm also
sounds if a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone. If the system fails to detect a transmitter within its
monitored area, a Check Transmitter alarm is issued.

Depending on which equipment options your facility has installed, the 9450 System can automatically lock doors
and deactivate elevators. In addition, the system sounds an alarm at the Central Server and its network of Client
computers when the event occurs. If configured, alarms are also annunciated at remote notification locations (i.e.
pagers, walkie-talkie, Quick Look display).

With the Mother/Infant Matching feature activated, an alarm is generated if there is a mismatch, meaning the
infant and mother transmitters do not match; a linking error, meaning there is a problem linking the infant
transmitter to a mother transmitter; or if a discharge is attempted without first matching the infant transmitter
with the mother transmitter.

NOTE: The Mother/Infant Matching feature is included in the software; however, if your
facility is not currently configured for Mother transmitters, the Mother/Infant Matching
feature IS NOT ACTIVE. For more information, contact RF Technologies Technical

Support at [phone] or [phone].

Preface

Quick Response (QR) System

The QR System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details that are essential in
responding quickly to the needs of a patient.The QR System offers a variety of transmitters, each of which interfaces
with the Central Server to assure that when a patient is in need, staff can be alerted via multiple methods (i.e. pagers,
walkie-talkie, Quick Look display).

A QR transmitter may be worn by a patient; it could be mounted to a wall where it is easy to access; it may be
integrated with a wireless smoke detector; it could additionally be used in conjunction with the 9450 System.

Integrated Care Management (ICM) System

The Code Alert™ ICM System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details
that are essential in responding quickly to a patient’s needs.

The Code Alert ICM System offers a variety of transceiver devices, each of which interfaces with the Central Server
to assure that when a patient is in need, staff is alerted. A transceiver is a device that periodically transmits a signal
containing data to uniquely identify if from other transceivers. It may be worn by a patient; it could be mounted to
a wall where it is easy to access; it may be integrated with a wireless smoke detector; it could even be used in
conjunction with other systems such as the 9450 System and Code Alert Wanderer Monitoring System.

Transceiver devices send data to the Central Server on a regular basis. When an event occurs that warrants a
response, staff is alerted by an audible alarm from the Central Server, a message is displayed on-screen and the

designated staff is summoned to respond to the situation. Staff can also be notified of an event via the ICM pager.

WARNING: The 9450, QR and ICM Systems are designed and
intended to work in conjunction with a facility’s overall security
program, including reasonable operating policies and procedures. The
systems, by themselves, cannot prevent abductions or elopements.

Intended Audience

The Series 6.0 Software User Guide is intended for users who use the software. It includes detailed information about
the 9450, QR and ICM Systems, the software, and how to use the software. This guide is intended to be used in
conjunction with the Series 6.0 Administrator’s Guide along with other user and installation guides when specified.

Chapter 1

Equipment Overview

Introduction

This chapter provides equipment overviews of the devices supported by the system and device supervision. The
supervision feature applies to many devices such as the alarming band transmitters, Pendants, Fall Monitoring
and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the system’s way of ensuring that devices are communicating
properly and within range of the receivers. This chapter also provides details of the Central Server and Client
computers used to run the software as well as Messaging and Walkie-Talkie information.

Central Server and Client Computers

The Central Server is a Windows based computer that runs the software. It
contains the database and provides communication with devices in the
system as well as the Client computer(s).

Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client
computers. The Client computers allow the user to perform such functions
as admitting, discharging, and authorizing transfers and escorts. Each Client
computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as they occur
on a floor plan of the facility.

The Central Server can be located in any area such as the nurse’s central
station or security office. It must be located near a dedicated analog phone
line or broadband connection to allow for remote Technical Support access
when requested by the customer. Each Client computer must be located in a
secure area that can be accessed by staff to enter and retrieve information.

Quick Look Display

The Quick Look Display shows information from the system at remote locations such as a
secondary nurse’s station. When a Red alarm is issued from the system, it is received through
the Quick Look Interface. The type of alarm (Cut Band, Door, Check), location of the alarm
and the transmitter ID are displayed on a large, easy-to-read 2 x 20 Character Vacuum
Fluorescent Displays (VFDs). As new alarms occur, they appear immediately; the display then
begins scrolling through each active alarm. For more information about the Quick Look
Display, see the Quick Look Display and Interface Installation Guide.

Exit Alarm Controller

The Exit Alarm Controller receives data from the Exit Alarm Receivers and issues an alarm if a transmitter is
detected in the Exit Alarm Zone, and the door is open. The Exit Alarm Controller contains a keypad, and/or card
reader access device, that allows authorized staff to reset the system after an alarm. The Exit Alarm Controller is
the device that triggers the alarm process for the Central Server and Staff Alert. For more information about the
Exit Alarm Controller, see the Delayed Egress Exit Alarm Controller Installation Guide.

6 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide

Card Reader Access Device

The Card Reader Access device can be connected to the Exit Alarm Controllers in order to use access cards for
triggering bypass cycles and resetting alarms on the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader Access device can be
an HID proximity card reader or a magnetic/bar code card reader (available at RF Technologies).

The Card Reader is interfaced through an RS-232 serial communications port between the Card Reader and the
Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader and the Exit Alarm Controller may share a common power supply feed.

The Exit Alarm Zone

An Exit Alarm Zone is the area within range of a door, elevator, hallway, or stairwell that is being monitored by
the system. If a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone and the door is open, an alarm sounds at the exit. If
the door is equipped with a CodeLock, when a transmitter enters the Exit Alarm Zone and the door is closed, it
will lock.

The devices that are used in an Exit Alarm Zone are an Exit Alarm Controller, Magnetic Reed Switches, and Exit
Alarm Receivers. Optional devices include CodeLock™ electromagnetic locks, passive infrared (PIR) detectors,
and an External Reset/Bypass Keypad.

9450 System

Exit Alarm Receiver

Exit Alarm Receivers are low frequency (LF) antennas placed on or near a door frame in an Exit Alarm Zone.
They receive signals from transmitters within a monitored zone and send the signals to the Exit Alarm Controller,
which triggers the alarm process. For more information about Exit Alarm Receivers, see the DuoLink Exit Alarm
Receiver Installation Guide.

Magnetic Reed Switch should be mounted at the top of a door near the non-hinged edge. It comes in two pieces:
a switch and a magnet. The switch is mounted on the door frame; the magnet is attached directly to the door.

When normally closed (NC) reed switches are used on a double door, connect the switches in series. The
provided Magnetic Reed Switches are normally closed (indicated with a gold Code Alert logo) when the doors are
closed so that opening either door opens the switch on that door.

CodeLock Electromagnetic Lock

The CodeLock option is an electromagnetic lock attached to an exit and connected to the Exit Alarm
Controller. If a transmitter is detected in the Exit Zone, the CodeLock activates to help stop the door
from opening for as long as the transmitter is within range of the receivers. Refer to the CodeLock
Electromagnetic Door Lock Installation Guide for information on installation and operation.

Alarming Band Receivers

Alarming Band Receivers are placed strategically throughout the monitoring area to receive signals from the
alarming band transmitters worn by patients. If the Cut Band feature is enabled, the system provides an alert if the
banding material that holds the transmitter to the patient is tampered with, cut, or opened without authorization.
Multiple receivers are used to ensure reception of the signal if there is an effort made to shield the transmitter
during abduction or elopement attempts. For more information, see the Alarming Band Receiver Installation

Guide.

NOTE: The Mother/Infant function requires applicable Alarming Band Receivers.

Alarming Band Zone

An Alarming Band Zone is the area within range of an Alarming Band Receiver, several of which are mounted
above the ceiling tiles of a facility. If a Cut Band alarm is triggered in an Alarming Band Zone, an alarm is sounded
on all Client computers assigned to monitor the transmitter’s unit, a message is displayed in the Event List, and
the location of the Alarming Band Receiver that detected the event is indicated on the map on the Client
computer(s). Cut Band alarms are also posted on remote notification devices.

Alarming Band Transmitters

Alarming band transmitters are placed on the ankle or wrist of a patient or affixed to an asset. The transmitter
becomes active once the banding material remains connected on both sides with banding material in place for 60
seconds. The 60-second window exists to allow for proper adjustment of the banding material.

After one minute, the transmitter ID is displayed in the Event List and information of the patient or asset wearing
the transmitter can be associated with the transmitter using the Admit or Auto-Enroll function. Alarming band
transmitters can be supervised. If a transmitter is configured for Supervision, and fails to regularly communicate to
the system, a Check Transmitter alarm will result in the Event List at the computer. For more information about
securing, cleaning, and troubleshooting transmitters, see the appropriate Transmitter User Guide.

Asset Tracking

Alarming band transmitters can be used for asset management. When an alarming band transmitter is attached to
an asset and admitted using the Add Asset admit function, Blue alarms are generated and appear in the Event List
when an attempt is made to remove the assets from an Exit Zone or the band is tampered with or cut.

Mother Transmitter

A Mother transmitter is placed on the wrist of a new mother and then linked to an Infant
transmitter worn by her newborn. When the Infant transmitter is in proximity of the
Mother transmitter, the Mother transmitter flashes Green light to indicate that the Infant
and Mother transmitters match. If there is a mismatch, meaning the Infant and Mother
transmitters do not match, the Mother transmitter flashes the Red light three times, and
sounds a three beep alarm. A Mismatch Transmitter alarm is also generated in the
Event List at the computer. If there is a linking problem, a Link Transmitter

alarm is generated in the Event List at the computer.

NOTE: Although the Mother transmitter will link to an Asset transmitter, the software does
not support this functionality. If this happens, clear the mother transmitter and re-link the
infant and mother transmitters.

In cases where the Mother Transmitter is linked but no longer active (e.g. the patient has been
discharged but the transmitter was never cleared) the transmitter will beep after 24 hours of inactivity.
If the transmitter goes undetected and allowed to beep for 15 minutes, it will clear and discharge itself
from the system. Tapping the Mother Transmitter will temporarily stop the beeping but the
transmitter remains in a linked state until manually cleared (refer to the Mother Baby Match Mother
Transmitter User Guide). If not cleared, the transmitter will beep again after another 24 hours of

inactivity.

CAUTION: The Mother Transmitter can be worn in the shower; complete
submersion should be avoided. Prolonged submersion may result in equipment
and/or system failure and voids any or all Product Warranty.

Chapter 1: Equipment Overview

Quick Response System

Transmitters and devices listed in this section are supported by the Quick Response System running the Series 6.0
Software application. The Quick Response system includes transmitters that are both carried by the patient and
fixed devices. A fixed device is a stationary device that is assigned to a room or a unit. This device is not transported
with the patient but stays in the unit or room to which it is assigned.

Quick Response devices are entered into the system by placing the device into an alarming state. The system
senses the device when the device goes into alarm and adds it to the device list in the Configuration-Device
window (refer to the Series 6.0 System Administrator Guide). The user must then update the device information;
for example, give the device a name and/or enable features.

The Quick Responses System consist of the following equipment.

• Central Server

• Quick Look Display

• Wireless Receiver

• Repeater

• Locator

• Paging Base

• Back-up Interface

• Pendant Transmitter

• Wall Mount Transmitter

• Universal Transmitter

• Pull-Cord

• Smoke Detector

• PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor

• Emergency Devices

• Door/Window Transmitter

Wireless Receiver

The Receiver is a device that receives signals from the repeater, locator, or QR transmitters
and communicates them to the Central Server. The Receiver can be supervised; if no
information is received by the system from the Receiver for a specified number of minutes,
a Device Fault alarm is generated in the Event List at the computer.

12 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide

Repeater

A Repeater is a device that receives the signals from Quick Response transmitter and
communicates them to the Receiver. This enables the system to cover larger
facilities. Repeaters are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Repeater and if
the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the
Event List at the computer.

Locator

Locators receive signals from Quick Response transmitters, add location data, and
communicates the signals to the receiver. When an event occurs, the map of your
facility will indicate the Locator that received the signal from the alarming device.
Locators are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Locator and if the signal is
not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the Event List at the
computer.

Paging Base

Quick Response System

The Paging Base (optional) sends radio frequency signals to the pager receiver(s)
when events occur. The pager receiver indicates the name, room number, and event
type of the transmitter that issued the alarm.

Back-Up Interface

The Back-up Interface is an optional device that takes over the responsibility of
communicating with the paging base and provides alarm information (transmitter
number only) in the event of an inoperable computer.

N

OTE: Please reference Transmitter Report and Device Report to correlate the

transmitter number to patient or device. It is recommended to reprint the Census
Report after new patients are admitted and discharged.

Chapter 1: Equipment Overview

Pendant Transmitters

A Pendant transmitter is a wireless, mobile transmitter that can be worn around the
neck or wrist, or attached to a belt. The Pendant transmitter is suitable for use in
showers or baths. To prevent damage to the Pendant transmitter, avoid prolong
submersion.

Since the Pendant transmitter is a mobile device, no installation is required. Simply
insert the battery and assign the transmitter to a resident, assuming the transmitter has
been configured into the system and the transmitter ID number falls within the
configured range. The Pendant transmitter is powered by a replaceable 3-volt battery.

Wall Mount Transmitters

The Wall Mount transmitter may be mounted on a wall. When a resident presses a
button on the transmitter an Assistance Required alarm event is reported Event List at the
computer. If the transmitter is supervised, a routine signal is sent from the transmitter
and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the
Event List at the computer. The Wall Mount transmitter is powered by a replaceable 3­volt battery.

CodeWatch Transmitter

The CodeWatch transmitter is lightweight, compact, and has a 1-year battery life
expectancy. Each transmitter is stamped with a warranty expiration date. This date
indicates the date that RF Technologies’ warranty on that transmitter expires (the last
day of the month stamped). If the warranty period has expired, discard the
CodeWatch transmitter immediately.

WARNING: Using a CodeWatch transmitter beyond the printed
EXP date can result in system failure and/or an elopement.

The CodeWatch transmitter sends a signal to be received by Exit Alarm Receivers. Exit
Alarm Receivers are low frequency (LF) antennas placed on or near a door frame or in
an Exit Alarm Zone. They receive signals from transmitters within a monitored zone
and send the signals to the Exit Alarm Controller, which triggers the alarm process.

The Exit Alarm Controller receives data from the Exit Alarm Receivers and issues an
alarm if a resident wearing a transmitter is detected in the Exit Alarm Zone, and the
door is open.
