STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Active Mode Installation
Use this method if you are going to use the standard installation technique.
1. Position the PRU+: Remove the PRU+ and AC power adapter from the case. Place the
PRU+ in a central location, preferably closer to participant’s bedroom than their living area,
elevated at least three feet / ninety centimetres from the floor.
2. Plug in the PRU+: Plug one end of the AC power adapter into a standard110 Volt electrical
outlet and the other end into the PRU+. Note : Do not connect the telephone line. The
PRU+ will turn on, displaying the title screen. It will then display the date and time screen. The
power and charge LED will be lit. The charge LED will go out when the internal battery in the
PRU+ is fully charged.
3. Clear Stored Events: Press and hold the PRU+ button on the LOCK until the PRU+ prompts
“Please Wait....”.When the display prompts “B=Function Mode” press “B” button
once. The display will prompt “B=Clear Events”. Press “B”, the display will now prompt
“A=** Clear ** / B=Cancel”. Press “A” to clear all events.
4. Test for RF Signal Strength: Press “A” button twice. When the display prompts “B=Test
Mode”, press the “B” button to enter Test Mode. Look at the top line marked “RFStr”. The
display will have a value on the top line that indicates the signal strength of the last
transmission of the PID displayed. Position the participant on the outer limits of the area of
confinement and note the value displayed. To reduce the range the PRU+ will monitor the
participant set the RSSI setting in Extended Special Function Mode to this value minus 15%.
(See page 38.)
Note setting this value higher will reduce the size of the area of confinement.
PID Installation
5. Install the Battery: Remove the PID , baseplate, one strap, one locking bar, one locking pin
and the battery from the case. Simply place the battery into the PID battery well so that the
alignment mark on the battery lines up with the alignment mark on the PID. Rotate the battery
counterclockwise until the tabs on the battery
slide under the two lock down posts. (See Figure 3 :
installing the
battery in the
PID).
