ACU Installation Procedures
There are several methods of installation available with the ACU. The ACU can monitor a participant’s
compliance to their curfew with or without being connected to a telephone line. The ACU
communicates with the central monitoring computer using a standard telephone line (Active Mode)
and/or may also monitor when no telephone line is available (Passive Mode) by periodically connecting
it to a telephone line to download its information. The following pages describe both types of
installation in detail.
Quick Install guides the installer through all necessary criteria to install an ACU in the participant’s area
of confinement. Once these criteria have been met the ACU will automatically call into the Central
Computer and pick up the final configuration settings including the participant’s curfew information.
Note: curfew information is not initially in the ACU and must be received from the central computer.
The regular installation mode has been preserved for installations that require additional information.
This mode of installation uses Test Mode to assist in the process. Although more steps are needed to
install the ACU using Test Mode the installer has a greater degree of flexibility in complex installations,
especially if the range needs to be adjusted.
Each set of instructions (Active / Passive) has separate sections for Quick Install or Test Mode
Installation. These sections guide the installer through the same steps in the installation process but
using that particular installation method. During installation choose the method desired (i.e.: Quick
Install) and use only the section selected.
