LC 1200 Manual Chapter 1: The LC 1200 system (Part # 800121) IMPORTANT: No Security System can replace human vigilance. Creating a safe environment requires the combined efforts of personnel, 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.
LC 1200 Manual The LC 1200 system Overview Features How the system works Single vs. Double Conditioning Monitored zones Perimeter Door application Alarms Internal vs. External alarms Addressing Alarms Escorting Overview The LC 1200 system (Part # 800121) is designed to be a turnkey, patient egress monitoring system.
1-2 The LC 1200 System Single vs. Double Conditioning Egress alarms can be set for either single or double conditioning. In single conditioning, one event has to happen (i.e., a Tag being detected in the zone) to generate an egress alarm. In double conditioning, two events have to happen (such as a Tag being detected in the zone and the door opened or PIR tripped) to generate an egress alarm.
LC 1200 Manual Double conditioning – Door with Lock(s) Notes: Although most locks can be interfaced with an LC unit, the instructions hereafter are only applicable to an Accutech supplied 3101 Magnetic Lock. If an active 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.
1-4 The LC 1200 System LC 1200 Manual Perimeter Door application Power Loss Supervisor (Optional) If desired, the LC unit can be used as a perimeter door system. When in this mode, the door would alarm the instant it was opened. If the door has Magnetic Locks, the door would remain locked (Lock energized) at all times and would require a valid code entered into the Keypad or activating a PBO to open the door. Delayed Egress Circuitry would function normally if 3101 Magnetic Locks were used.
LC 1200 Manual Perimeter Door A Perimeter Door alarm occurs when the LC unit is in Perimeter Door mode (see page 1-3 for more information) and the door is opened (Magnetic Switch open). Internal vs. External alarms The LC unit comes with an internal alarm sounder (a piezo) and the capability of triggering external sounders. When jumper JP2 “Tone Enable” is in place, all four alarm types (Egress, Tamper, Power Loss Supervisor, and Perimeter) will be announced through the LC unit’s internal piezo.
1-6 The LC 1200 System LC 1200 Manual Power Loss Supervisor Escorting A Power Loss Supervisor alarm occurs when a charged 9V NiCAD battery is installed and the LC unit loses power (see page 1-4 for more information). From time to time, it may be necessary to escort a monitored resident through a protected zone. This is done using the Keypad’s Escort function.
LC 1200 Manual slowly and you may have to invoke the Escort function again. 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.

2-4 The LC unit A Look Inside LEDs Jumpers Potentiometers Tamper Switch Terminals Let’s take a look at a simplified version of the inside of the LC unit (Figure 2.6). LC 1200 Manual LEDs LED1 (Tx Gain Level) (Yellow) This LED indicates the strength of the Tx Activation Field. The size of the Tx Activation Field determines the “range” of the LC unit to activate Tags and take appropriate action. LED1 should be illuminated when the LC unit has power.
LC 1200 Manual The LC unit 2-5 Potentiometers NOTE: Environmental conditions may cause a need to deviate slightly from the potentiometers’ default settings (Figure 2.7). Each LC unit should be tuned properly for its environment during installation. All potentiometers are increased clockwise. C2 (Tuning capacitor) Default setting: Varies Looser setting yields lower frequencies Tighter setting yields higher frequencies This capacitor maximizes the Tx Activation Field strength of the chosen frequency.
2-6 The LC unit Terminals Below is an explanation of each terminal on an LC unit (Figure 2.9). P1 P1-1 (Perimeter Door Out) P1-2 (Perimeter Door In) These contacts control the Perimeter Door function of the LC unit: When a jumper is installed between these two terminals, the Perimeter Door function is disabled (Factory Default). When a jumper is not present between these two terminals, the Perimeter Door function is enabled and the door will remained locked at all times.
LC 1200 Manual The LC unit 2-7 Tamper Switch adjustment The Tamper Switch (S1) (Figure 2.10) is provided to prevent unauthorized access to the LC unit. An alarm is generated if the LC unit cover is removed (i.e., the Tamper Switch clip is open). Figure 2.10 Tamper Switch During normal use, the Tamper Switch clip is held closed with pressure between the contact of the clip and the outside case (see Figure 2.11). After initial installation and wiring, replace the outside cover and enter a Keypad reset.
2-8 The LC unit Tuning Notify staff and security Why tune the LC unit? Tuning an LC unit Adjusting the Tx Activation Field Stagger Tuning Notify staff and security Whenever making adjustments to an LC unit, notify staff and security and remind them they will need to pay special attention to area traffic during this time. Why tune the LC unit? The LC unit comes from the factory tuned to typical parameters that will be effective under most circumstances. However, there are 3 possible reasons to tune: a.
LC 1200 Manual Adjusting the Tx Activation Field The Tx Activation Field can be reduced or expanded to match each unique zone’s needs. Each monitored zone may have circumstances that require an adjustment to the range of the Tx Activation Field. The most common reason is that the Field is overlapping or “bleeding” into other areas.
2-10 The LC unit LC 1200 Manual Stagger Tuning 8. Retune the zone (see page 2-7). Stagger Tuning allows monitored zones to be located closer than the normal minimum 70 feet distance by using different Tx operating frequencies for adjacent zones. 9. Confirm the frequency has been changed by testing the zone. Generate an alarm in the adjacent zone and make sure it does not alarm in the current zone and then test again vice versa.

With the snaps pointing in the same direction as the Accutech logo, slide the plastic band through the Slot. (Figure 3.2). Overview The LC system uses LC 1200 System Tags (Figure 3.1).
3-2 Tags & TAD 6. Follow the same procedure for SB Tags (Figure 3.4). LC 1200 Manual There are a few methods that can be used to clean and sanitize Tags: However, DO NOT: Do not soak Tags in cleaning solutions Do not put Tags in an AutoClave Do not put Tags in a dishwasher Do not steam clean Tags Do not put Tags in a washing machine or dryer Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners Acceptable Tag Cleaning Methods: Antibacterial wipes Hydrogen peroxide (wipe, do not soak) Figure 3.
LC 1200 Manual LED Tag Verifying Proper Zone Coverage Identifying Foreign Tag-Activating Sources DISCLAIMER: Due to each facility’s unique environment, an LED Tag cannot give an exact measurement of zone coverage; it can only give an estimation of zone coverage. Verifying Proper Zone Coverage An LED Tag (Part # 660008; Figure 3.5) is used to verify proper zone coverage during installation, adjustment, or testing of a monitored zone.
3-4 Tags & TAD Identifying Foreign Tag-Activating Sources In addition to verifying proper zone coverage, an LED Tag (Figure 3.5) can be used to identify foreign Tag-activating sources to help preserve your Tags’ battery life and prevent nuisance alarms. Monitored zones emit a Tag-activating signal called the Tx Activation Field. When a Tag enters a zone’s Tx Activation Field, it is activated. The system detects the activated Tag and takes appropriate action response.
LC 1200 Manual The TAD TAD Overview The “Active Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED The “WAIT” LED The “Signal Strength” LEDs Using the TAD to activate/deactivate Tags Testing Tags with a TAD TAD Troubleshooting Tips Locating Lost Tags TAD The TAD (Tag Activator/Deactivator) (Part # 660021; Figure 3.6) is used to check the functionality of an Accutech Tag. Accutech Tags operate by internal battery.
3-6 Tags & TAD LC 1200 Manual Using the TAD to activate/deactivate Tags To activate/deactivate Tags using the TAD (Figure 3.6 and 3.7), use the following instructions: 1. With no Tag in the TAD, slide the Power switch to the On position. The TAD Power LED illuminates. If it doesn’t, check the TAD’s 9-volt battery. NOTE: If a Tag is in the receptacle and the power to the TAD is cycled, the Tag may be turned on or off unintentionally. 2.
LC 1200 Manual TAD Troubleshooting Tips: If the Signal Strength LEDs do not illuminate after repeated attempts to turn a Tag on with the “TAD” button, the Tag may not be functioning. Set it aside and try to activate another Tag. If no Tags can be activated, consider that your TAD may not be functioning (even if the Power LED is on). Try another TAD unit to activate Tags. Testing Tags with a TAD Accutech systems respond to RF signals generated by the Tags.
3-8 Tags & TAD LC 1200 Manual Accutech systems respond to RF signals generated by the Tags. When an active Tag enters a monitored zone, the zone detects the Tag signal and takes the appropriate response action. A TAD is like a mini zone. It can detect an active Tag signal. Although not as powerful as an actual monitored zone, a TAD can be useful in locating active lost Tags. In order for a TAD to detect a lost Tag, the Tag has to be active and be in the range of a monitored zone.

LC 1200 Manual Chapter 5: Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) (Part # 300302)
LC 1200 Manual Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) 5-1 Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) Specifications Positioning Mounting Wiring Adjusting the PIR beam angle PIR “Masking” Passive Infrared Readers (PIRs) (Part # 300302; Figure 5.1) are sensitive to changes in infrared energy caused by an object moving across a PIR’s field of view. Detection depends on the difference between the infrared energy trasmitted by the moving object and the temperature of background objects.
5-2 Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) LC 1200 Manual Positioning Position the PIR to have the best coverage possible for your situation. Accutech recommends ceiling mounting the PIR (Figure 5.2) to assure complete and focused coverage of the opening. Wall mounting the PIR may result in detection beyond the desired area (Figure 5.3). If you decide to wall mount the PIR, “mask” the PIR to reduce the range. Figure 5.
LC 1200 Manual 5. Mount the backplate to the wall using the screws supplied. NOTE: For wall and ceiling installations, use the two knock-outs at the back of the base. For corner or 45º mounting use the knock-outs on the angled sides. The unit must be fastened securely to the mouting surface to avoid possible vibrations. Wiring You will need 22-gauge, 4-conductor plenumrated cable for this connection. To wire the PIR to the LC unit, refer to Figure 5.4 and use the following instructions: 1.

LC 1200 Manual FAQ & Troubleshooting Tag Tag Band TAD System (General) System (Maintenance) Troubleshooting Tag: FAQ & Troubleshooting 16-1 How long will the Tags last before I need to replace them? Accutech Tags operate by internal battery. The Tags have been engineered for greater than 12 months usage. Can I replace or recharge the battery in the Tag? What can I use to clean Tags? No. Once a Tag’s battery is drained, the Tag will have to be replaced.
16-2 FAQ & Troubleshooting LC 1200 Manual System (General): System (Maintenance): If you are locking the doors, what happens in the case of a fire? How often should I test my zones? Accutech follows NFPA codes and regulations. Therefore, in the event of a fire, all Accutech restraints will be disabled (audial and visual alarms remain active).
LC 1200 Manual Troubleshooting A Tag is not being detected by the monitored zone. 1. Use a TAD to verify Tag is active. 2. Use a TAD to verify Tag battery is sufficient. 3. Verify proper zone coverage (page 3-3) 4. Verify proper zone wiring of LC unit I am getting an abundance of nuisance alarms. A nuisance alarm is undesired alarm activation stemming from such things improper zone coverage and the improper storage of Tags. 1. Verify proper zone coverage.

Using Relays enclosed in the Elevator Deactivation Relay Cabinet, the Elevator Company is able to interface with the Accutech System.
CUT SHEET: Fire Panel Interface (FPI) The Fire Panel Interface (FPI) ensures, in the event of a fire, the Magnetic Lock(s) and/or Elevator Deactivation Circuitry will be disengaged. Accutech follows NFPA codes and regulations. Therefore, in the event of a fire, all Accutech restraints will be disabled (audial and visual alarms remain intact). For each FPI unit used, one set of dry contacts will be needed from the facility’s fire panel. Each FPI unit provides dry contact outputs for up to eight Controllers.
CUT SHEET: Graphic Display Panel (GDP) A Graphic Display Panel (GDP) provides the staff with a visual representation of the floor being monitored. GDPs are custom-made to a facility’s floor plan and notify staff when an alarm or event occurs in a monitored zone through a piezo buzzer and alarm-specific LEDs. Each monitored zone is labeled and marked with an LED that will light to indicate that an Alarm Condition has occurred for that particular zone.
CUT SHEET: Keypad The Keypad is used to escort residents through a monitored zone and to reset zone equipment once an alarm has occurred. Up to 56 different (3 to 8 digit) user codes can be used to reset the alarm and to activate the Escort function.
CUT SHEET: Local Alarm The Local alarm, a sounder, is intended to attract attention near the monitored zone.

CUT SHEET: Staff Alert Panel (SAP) The Staff Alert Panel (SAP) notifies staff when an alarm occurs in a monitored zone through a piezo buzzer and alarmspecific LEDs. Each monitored zone is labeled and marked with an LED that will light to indicate that an Alarm Condition has occurred for that particular zone. In addition, a “Fire Alarm” LED will light on the display if the fire circuit is activated.
CUT SHEET: Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD) DISCLAIMER: A TAD reading is in no way meant to be a replacement for taking a Tag to an active zone to test the range capability of the Tag. When you use a TAD all you really know is that the Tag has enough power to respond; it is NOT an indication of the range capability. In order to test the range capability of a Tag, you must take it to an active zone. The Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD) is used to check the functionality of an Accutech Tag.
CUT SHEET: Timer A Timer allows the user to engage or disengage certain system functions on a time schedule. A typical application of a Timer would be at a perimeter door that has high traffic during the day but almost no traffic at night. During the day it may make sense to allow the free ingress and egress of staff and visitors, but at night, locking the door would mean added security for staff and residents.
