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.
Installation Manual The Accutech Systems ES 2200 System IS 3200 System BR 4200 System Cut Band System How Accutech Systems Work System Components Typical System Configurations 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, etc.) Furthermore, the terms “ingress” and “egress” will be encountered.
1-2 The Accutech Systems IS 3200 System The IS 3200 System is the ES 2200 System plus a computer with the Accutech Software installed, a TAD, a Tag Test Station, a Multiplexer, a Power Supply. 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.
Installation Manual An optional Loiter function is available to alert staff personnel if a Tag is in a monitored zone (even if the door or elevator is closed) for too long. The time setting is adjustable (10-110 seconds) and is factory set for 15 seconds. 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.
1-4 The Accutech Systems closed and a Keypad Reset (or AutoReset jumper in place) to clear. A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in the Tx Activation Field. Remove all Tags from the Field and then enter a Keypad Reset (or AutoReset jumper in place) to clear this alarm. 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, etc. The alarm will reset when the condition is corrected.

Installation Manual Wire and Cables 2-1 Wire and Cables Cable Door Kit Cable Door Kit SAP and GDP Cable Specifications Fire Panel Cable Specifications Composite Cable Wire Gauge Table Accutech’s Cable Door Kit (see Table 2.1) is the building block for the installation of any type of zone. As options are added additional wire or cables will be required. Each component in the Accutech Systems has its own wiring requirements.
2-2 Wire and Cables Fire Panel Cable Specifications The addition of a Lock requires an interface to the Fire Panel. If future expansion of the system is a possibility, it is recommended that you use a Fire Panel Interface (FPI) unit. If expansion is not possible and there are only one or two zones, a Fire Panel Relay (with 3 sets of dry contacts) can be used instead. If a FPI unit is used, you will need to run a separate 2-conductor cable from one of the zone Controllers to the FPI unit to provide power.

Installation Manual Figure 3.
3-4 The Controller Remote Mounting of the Controller To mount the Controller remotely, follow the same instructions as you would to mount the Controller locally. However, remote mounting of the Controller requires that a Remote Receiver be positioned at the zone. The Receiver, normally mounted inside of the Controller, requires a different mounting plate and a 4”x4”x2” electrical box.
Installation Manual Figure 3.
3-6 The Controller 5. Punch out the ½” conduit fitting knock-out and install a proper conduit fitting for the connection you are making. 6. After your conduit runs are complete and tight, fish solid 14gauge conductor from the power source through to the power terminal strip. Be sure to leave yourself 4-6” of excess wire to work with. 7. Replace the Power Supply Cover. 8. Turn on the power to test the connections. NOTE: The Red wires from the secondary of the transformer carry approximately 15V AC.
Installation Manual NOTE: JP5 Positions 1 and 2 are only for testing and demonstration purposes; they should not be used during normal operation. If desired, the System Supervisor can also be wired to trigger an external alarm (e.g. Local Alarm) A common System Supervisor condition is that a large metal object (such as a food cart) has been placed very near the Tx wand antenna and has diminished the Tx Activation Field.
3-8 The Controller Installation Manual Tamper Switch UL 294 requirements call for the installation of a “tamper switch” that engages the lid, and is wired so as to cause an alarm if the lid is removed. When the tamper switch is installed and the lid is removed, a Tx Supervise alarm will be generated and LED14 will illuminate red. To remedy the alarm, replace the lid. The switch is mounted with #4-40, ½” machine screws, star washer, and nut to the Controller case (Figure 3.4).

NOTE: When using multiple antennas, it is necessary to install jumper JP4 on the Controller board. Install in position 2-3 for two antennas, or position 1-2 for three antennas. For more information on jumper JP4, see Appendix B-1.
4-4 The Tx wand antenna Connecting a Tx wand antenna to the zone Controller To connect a Tx wand to the zone Controller, refer to Figure 4.5 (and if applicable, Figures 4.6 and 4.7) and use the following instructions: 1. Using the RED wire, connect the “UNREG” on the antenna (pin P1-2) to “UNREG” on the zone Controller (pin P1-5). NOTE: When multiple antennas are being used, each subsequent antenna should have its RED wire connected to one of the two “UNREG” positions on the zone Controller (P1-1 or P1-5).
Installation Manual Figure 4.5 Connecting a Tx wand antenna to the zone Controller Figure 4.6 Connecting two Tx wand antennas to the zone Controller Figure 4.
4-6 The Tx wand antenna Installation Manual Stagger Tuning Implementing Stagger Tuning 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 so that Tags activated in one zone do not create events (locks, alarms, etc.) in another zone. Implementing Stagger Tuning The Controller comes from the factory with 3 different crystals, Y1 (130 KHZ), Y2 (131.072 KHZ) and Y3 (132 KHZ).
Installation Manual The Tx wand antenna 4-7 Why Re-tune a Tx wand Antenna? Before you start Tx wand antennas come from the factory set to Y2 (131.072 KHZ). Under most circumstances, they will not need to be adjusted. However, there are 3 possible reasons to re-tune: For either tuning method, before you start note the number of antennas in the zone and complete the following steps to establish a good starting point: On the Controller: a.
4-8 The Tx wand antenna One-antenna zone To tune a one-antenna zone, refer to Figure 4.10 and use the following instructions: Installation Manual 5. After you have finished adjusting, on the antenna, turn pot R1 completely counterclockwise so that LED1 is dim. 6. On the Controller, return switch S3 to the left position. 1. Using the spanner key provided or a spanner screwdriver, remove the antenna cover by removing the spanner screws. 7. Replace the antenna cover and secure it with the spanner screws.
Installation Manual Two-antenna zone To tune a two-antenna zone, refer to Figure 4.10 and use the following instructions: 1. Using the spanner key provided or a spanner screwdriver, remove both antenna covers by removing the spanner screws on each. 2. Remove the Controller cover. 3. A “steady” and a “flashing” green bar should be illuminating on LED13. The “steady” green bar is the Tx Output Level and should be above the “flashing” bar but not off the top of the scale.
4-10 The Tx wand antenna has been adjusted properly. Therefore, if you try to see a change with LED1 set too bright you may miss that change and be slightly off tune. If this is the case, on the antenna, turn pot R1 (LED brightness adjust) counterclockwise until the yellow LED1 dims then adjust C1 again. 11. After you have finished adjusting, on the “Y” antenna, turn R1 counterclockwise so that LED1 is dim. 12. On the Controller, place jumper JP6 (Scan Rate) into position 1-2. 13.
Installation Manual (LED brightness adjust) counterclockwise until the yellow LED1 dims then adjust C1 again. 7. After you have finished adjusting, on the “X” antenna, turn pot R1 completely counterclockwise so that LED1 is dim. 8. Replace jumper JP6. 9. On the Controller, quickly remove jumper JP6 (Scan Rate) so that only LED2 (the “Y” antenna output indicator) is illuminating. This may take a few attempts. You will not leave the jumper in place while tuning. 10.
4-12 The Tx wand antenna NOTE: Make sure that all connections have been made as outlined in the previous section and you have competed the steps in the “Before you start” section on page 4-7. To tune a Tx wand antenna, refer to Figures 4.11, and use the following instructions: 1. Using the spanner key provided or a spanner screwdriver, take off all antenna covers by removing the spanner screws on each.

5-2 the Receiver Installation Manual Internal vs. External Receivers Receiver Positioning/Stagger Tuning When the Controller is positioned near the monitored door, the Receiver is mounted internally in the Controller housing. Position the Receiver within approximately 6 feet of the center of the monitored zone or door opening. It is permissible to mount it beyond 6 feet, but do not exceed 15 feet from the center of the zone or door opening.
Installation Manual the Receiver 5-3 BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers BR 4200 Zone Receivers monitor both zone events and Band Removal events. BR 4200 Auxiliary Receivers only monitor Band Removal events. Depending upon your facility’s physical layout, Zone Receivers may be enough to ensure full Band Removal coverage. However, to determine where Auxiliary Receivers may be needed, a test BR42 Tag should be used to check every potential location in the area being covered.

6-4 The Tag Installation 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 (Figure 3.8) is used to verify proper zone coverage during installation, adjustment, or testing of a monitored zone.
Installation Manual The Tag 6-5 3. If you find that a zone’s coverage is at unacceptable levels (too small, too big, extends too far in one direction), look for factors that may be affecting the zone (food carts, medical equipment, and/or building construction). 4. If you cannot locate any immediate causes, contact your system maintenance technician for further assistance. 5. When finished, deactivate the LED Tag using a TAD.
6-6 The Tag Testing Tags For maximum protection of residents or assets, Accutech recommends that Tags be tested on a weekly basis. There are 6 ways that you can test Tags: Enter a monitored zone (Software will report.) With a TAD With a PTAD The Keypad’s Auxiliary LED (Yellow) will light when a Tag is detected (Optional; additional wire required).
Installation Manual Storing Tags To preserve battery life, Tags must be turned off with a TAD during storage or periods of non-use. CB and BR Tags must be deactivated to prevent alarms when not use. However, if you do not have a TAD or your Tags are always activated, Tags should be stored away from sources of electrical noise (see below) and stored in a metal container with lid.
6-8 The Tag The S-TAD Powering the S-TAD On/Off Unlocking the S-TAD Activating/Deactivating Tags 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. The S-TAD requires a 9-volt battery to operate.
Installation Manual Activating/Deactivating Tags The S-TAD can activate and deactivate Tags preserving Tag battery life and preventing nuisance alarms. ACTIVATING 1. Unlock the S-TAD. 2. Place the inactive Tag in the correct orientation within the Tag receptacle. The Tag’s graphic’s LED is silent (just like the physical Tag’s LED is silent). 3. Press the Enter button (green LED lit). The Wait LED will illuminate (red) for 2 seconds.

The Keypad provided by Accutech (Visonic CL8A) is intended as an indoor Keypad only. If you require an outdoor Keypad, contact your Accutech Representative.
7-2 The Keypad Installation Manual Positioning the Keypad Surface Mounting the Keypad The Keypad should be located within 3 to 5 feet of the monitored door or elevator. In hallway applications, mount the Keypad just outside of the zone to avoid alarm activation when escorting a monitored resident. The Keypad is designed to be surface mounted using the white back box provided.
Installation Manual Figure 7.3 Connecting the Keypad to the Controller Figure 7.
Installation Manual The Keypad 7-3 Flush Mounting the Keypad If flush mounting is required, use a plastic single gang electrical switch box, instead of the original white back box (see Figure 7.2). A flush mount box can be obtained from your local building supply outlet. CAUTION: The Keypad manual shows the use of a standard single gang, metal electrical switch box. Accutech does not recommend the use of this type of box for two reasons: 1. The fit is very, very tight.
7-4 The Keypad Connecting the Keypad to the Controller Installation Manual connect pin 4 of the Keypad to P8-pin5 (Tag Detect) of the Controller. You will need 22-gauge 4-conductor plenumrated cable for installation. If you are using composite cable, see Chapter 2 for color code. 9. Place a jumper connecting the Keypad pins 2, 4 and 6.
