Installation Instructions
1. The first step is to assign the beacon’s ID to a specific location by using the
Tracker-Pal PC interface. The beacon ID is displayed on a label mounted on the
beacon itself.
2. A “Valentine” offender tracking device will need to have an eArrest rule
associated with the beacon ID entered into Tracker-Pal. This rule will require
that the offender’s bracelet be within the transmission distance of the beacon for
the hours of the day as entered into Tracker-Pal. When the “Valentine” offender
tracking device “hears” the signal from the beacon, it can uniquely identify the
beacon ID. The bracelet will then compare the ID number to its EArrest rules to
determine if a rule applies and is satisfied.
3. Mount the beacon in the offender’s confinement space. One beacon is normally
needed for a typical residence or similar confinement space. More than one
beacon can be used with one bracelet to accommodate larger spaces. Find a
location that is near the middle of the space such as an interior wall where a
thermostat might be mounted. It should be a sturdy wall that is not expected to
shake or move easily. The mount location should be as high as practical, near
the ceiling so that it would not be accidentally bumped or otherwise molested.
Being nearer to a corner will also help to find a more sturdy part of the wall.
Avoid mounting the beacon on or near a large sheet metal covering or metal
object such as a kitchen appliance. Do not mount the beacon near a microwave
oven.
4. When the location has been determined, peel the film off of the 3M command
strip that is on the back side and use a ballpoint pen or similar device to move
the mechanical switch to the “ON” position. This is accessible through the hole in
the back cover.
5. Press the beacon onto the wall to stick it in place. Be sure to have the top edge
be on the top side. The front membrane with the “arm” switch should be visible
and oriented properly. Endeavour to mount the beacon as vertical as possible.
The white 3M adhesive tab should be visible as it extends out from the back of
the beacon. This tab is used to remove the beacon without damaging the wall.
See “Removing the Beacon.”
6. You are ready to “ARM” the beacon. This can be done with or without the
bracelet present. Arming the device is what begins the periodic wireless data
transmissions. You must ARM the device so that the bracelet will receive the
signal as required to avoid an alarm by violating the eArrest rule.
7. Press and hold the “ARM” button in on the front of the beacon for 1 to 2 seconds
until the green LED blinks 3 times. Release the button.
