STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. LOCK Basics LOCK Basics The LOCK is a device that is carried by the person who installs equipment on participants. The LOCK has two functions that are required during installation. The first function which is activated when you push the PRU+ button, allows access to Special Function Mode / Extended Special Function Mode on the PRU+ (See Page 36 for more information on Special Function Mode and Page 38 for more information on Extended Special Function Mode).
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. FVU Basics FVU Basics The Field Verification Unit (drive-by) is designed to receive signals from the PID while away the participant is away from their area of confinement. The small portable package allows an officer to drive to a site away from the area of confinement and determine if the participant is located in the area. The FVU is supplied with an AC adapter for use at the office and a cigarette lighter car adapter for use while travelling in a vehicle.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. FVU Basics Setting up the FVU 1. Connect the appropriate antenna to the antenna connector on the left side of the FVU. 2a. Batteries: Slide open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the FVU and insert six (6) AA batteries according to the diagram inside the compartment. 2b. AC Wall Adapter Plug the AC adapter cord into the power connector on the left side of the FVU and plug the transformer into a standard 110VAC outlet. 2c.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. CMU Basics CMU Basics The Cellular Module Unit provides the ability to “Actively” monitor participants even if the participant does not have a telephone line (or lives in an area with no telephone coverage). Using the cellular network, the CMU allows the PRU to communicate with the central computer. Once the CMU has been activated by the local cellular company, simply follow the Installation procedures below and the CMU will work seamlessly with the PRU.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Installation Procedures PRU+ Installation Procedures There are several methods of installation available with the PRU+. The PRU+ can monitor a participant’s compliance to their curfew with or without being connected to a telephone line.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Active Mode Installation Active Mode Installation These instructions should be used if the participant is to be monitored via a telephone line in the participant’s residence. The PRU+ will call into the Central Computer on a regular basis reporting all activity. Pre-Installation A.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Active Mode Installation PID Installation Figure 3: Installing the battery in the PID Transmitter - showing battery well Battery 5. Install the Battery: Remove the PID , baseplate, one strap, one locking bar, one locking pin and the battery from the case. Simply place the battery into the PID battery well so that the alignment mark on the battery lines up with the alignment mark on the PID.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. 7. Active Mode Installation Install Strap and PID: Replace the baseplate and strap around the leg, and attach the narrow end that has been cut to length to the baseplate. Push the PID into the baseplate at the strap end. The PID is now hinged to the baseplate. Firmly close the PID and baseplate together by pushing down on the open end. Figure 5 : Attach the PID to the baseplate 8.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Active Mode Installation Use this method if you are going to use the standard installation technique. 1. Position the PRU+: Remove the PRU+ and AC power adapter from the case. Place the PRU+ in a central location, preferably closer to participant’s bedroom than their living area, elevated at least three feet / ninety centimetres from the floor. 2. Plug in the PRU+: Plug one end of the AC power adapter into a standard110 Volt electrical outlet and the other end into the PRU+.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. 6. Size the Strap: Attach the wide end of the strap to the PID baseplate. With the baseplate on the outside of the leg, wrap the strap around the participants leg, just above the ankle. Size the strap so that it fits comfortably around the participant’s leg. Cut off any access strap that is above the two hole positions that will fit into the other side of the strap (See Figure 4 : Strap installation) Figure 4 : 7.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. 9. Active Mode Installation Check Strap Tightness: Check the strap tightness on the side opposite the PID. There should not be a space of more than ½ inch or 1.4 centimetres between the strap and the skin. Installation Completion 10. Test the PID Signal: Watch the PRU+ in test mode, to ensure that the signal from the PID is being received. The PID code number will be displayed and the PRU+ will beep to indicate it has received the signal from the assigned PID.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Active Mode Installation De-Installation / Removal A. If your equipment is monitored by our Monitoring Center:- Fax the Inactivation Form to the Monitoring Center on the same day that the unit is to be removed from the participant’s residence. It is important that the PRU+ does not continue to call into the CC after the Inactivation form has been sent.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Passive Mode Passive Mode Passive Mode is used when a telephone line is unavailable at the participant’s house. The PRU+ can store up to 2500 separate events in it’s internal memory. This allows the PRU+ to be placed in the area of confinement to monitor the participant. The PRU+ can then be brought in and downloaded at a later date. After the PRU+ transfers all of it’s information to the central computer a complete record of the participant’s activity will be available.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Passive Mode Installation Passive Mode Installation These instructions should be used if the participant is to be monitored without the use of a phone line in the participant’s residence. The PRU+ needs to be downloaded on a regular basis so that the stored events can be viewed. Pre-Installation A.
STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Passive Mode Installation Figure 3: Installing the battery in the PID 5. Size the Strap: Attach the wide end of the strap to the PID baseplate. With the baseplate on the outside of the leg, wrap the strap around the participants leg, just above the ankle. Size the strap so that it fits comfortably around the participant’s leg.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. 7. Passive Mode Installation Install Locking Mechanism: Insert the slider bar under the strap into the hole in the side of the PID (See Figure 6 : Slider Bar) so the end of the slider bar is flush with the strap. Press a pin through the hole in the strap and into the slider bar. This locks the PID together. Figure 6 : Slider Bar 8. Check Strap Tightness: Check the strap tightness on the side opposite the PID. There should not be a space of more than ½ inch or 1.
