Detecting Removal or Tampering
Once the SCRAM Bracelet is securely attached to the client’s ankle, it cannot be removed without
destroying the tamper clips. If the client cuts or removes the bracelet, the bracelet will record a tamper
alarm and send this alarm to the Central Monitoring Station.
Technicians have also thoroughly tested the SCRAM Bracelet to ensure an alcohol-positive client
cannot “trick” the bracelet into yielding a negative result by placing household products, such as
saran wrap, tape, paper, aluminum foil, and playing cards between the bracelet and the client’s skin. If
a client attempts to trick the bracelet, it will record and send a tamper alarm to the Central Monitoring
Station.
Collecting, Storing, and Transferring Data
The SCRAM Bracelet does not require client participation in order to obtain alcohol readings. Clients
never know when the bracelet is taking a reading, and only representatives from the program agency
can setup and modify the testing schedule. Each reading is date and time stamped and stored in a
memory chip within the bracelet. The Smart Modem collects stored data at a predetermined time and
transfers that data to a host computer at the Central Monitoring Station.
If the SCRAM Bracelet takes an alcohol reading and the results are positive, it will send an alert
message to the Central Monitoring Station via the SCRAM Smart Modem, which will notify the
client’s program agency.
Controlling Battery Power
The SCRAM Bracelet also contains a power controller, which allows the bracelet to turn itself on and
off in order to conserve the battery. A representative from the program agency must replace the
battery on a client’s bracelet every 60 days.
