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 ACU needs to be downloaded on a regular basis so that the stored
events can be viewed.
Pre-Installation
A. If your equipment is monitored by a Monitoring Center:
- Fax the Enrollment Form to the Monitoring Center, giving as much time as possible (½ hour
minimum) before the ACU is to be hooked up to a participant. The Monitoring Center must be
notified before the ACU calls in.
B. If you monitor your own equipment:-
- Assure you have entered the participant data on your system before you proceed with the
installation. The curfew call back ranking should be set to ‘0'.
ACU Installation
You can use the Quick Install Method (refer to Active Mode Installation on Page 15) or the Test Mode
Method (refer to Active Mode Installation on Page 17).
1. Set up the ACU: Use either of the installation procedures. This procedure needs to be done from
a location where a telephone is available, prior to placing the ACU in the participant’s residence.
2. Install the iTX: Follow the instructions outlined under the ACU Installation - Quick Install section if
you need details on installing the iTX.
Installation Completion
3. Test the iTX Signal: This step should be done if you are using the Test Mode installation method.
4. Reset the iTX: Once a signal has been received, the display should prompt “Check strap”. Use
the LOCK’s iTX button to reset the strap tamper on the iTX. If the strap sever has been properly
reset, the ACU will prompt “Everything ok, Calling in now” and will immediately start to call into the
Central Computer
5. Complete the Installation: When “Call Successful” is displayed, initial setup is complete.
6. Install the ACU: Remove the ACU and AC adapter. Place the ACU in a central location,
preferably closer to the participant’s bedroom than their living area, elevated at least three feet /
ninety centimetres from the floor. Assure that the ACU is plugged into AC power when it reaches
the participant’s home (Note: be careful that the AC outlet the ACU is plugged into cannot be
switched off with a light switch).
