8. Can the offender tamper with the A/B buttons, and manipulate the function mode commands
within the ACU?
No, the A/B buttons will only function when the ACU is in Function Mode. The only way to
access Function Mode is by using the LOCK.
9. Can the iTX be placed in water, or does it have to be wrapped in plastic?
Yes, the iTX can be placed in water. It is completely waterproof for normal bathing activity.
10. Can the ACU provide battery backup in case of commercial power outage?
Yes, as soon as there is an interruption in power, the ACU will immediately switch to the backup
battery. This battery lasts for approximately 26 to 52 hours, depending on the model of ACU.
11. Can two ACU systems be placed in a home simultaneously?
Yes, you may place two ACUs in the same residence. You must assure that the two iTXs have
different transmitter codes. This will allow each ACU to monitor each offender independently.
You may encounter some communication errors due to both units communicating across the
same phone line. You may also experience some short leaves / enters if both iTXs transmit at
the same time
12. Does the ACU system need to be programmed for it to be used passively?
The ACU will only need to be programmed if the telephone line that the ACU will call out on has
to dial a different number (IE additional digits to access an outside line). See the Extended
Function Mode section for information on how to change the telephone number.
13. Does the ACU instantly receive schedule changes when the officer calls in a curfew change?
No, the ACU curfew model is applied when it calls into the CC.
14. Can the ACU be placed directly on the floor of an offender’s home?
The ACU must be placed at least three feet above the floor.
