STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Passive Mode
Passive Mode
Passive Mode is used when a telephone line is unavailable at the participant’s house. The PRU+
can store up to 2500 separate events in it’s internal memory. This allows the PRU+ to be placed in
the area of confinement to monitor the participant. The PRU+ can then be brought in and
downloaded at a later date. After the PRU+ transfers all of it’s information to the central computer a
complete record of the participant’s activity will be available. The information stored inside the
PRU+ should be downloaded at least once per week.
Important Information Regarding Passive Mode Operation
Since the PRU+ will be placed in a participant’s home without constant contact with the Central
Computer, it is important that the PRU+ make an initial call to the Central Computer before the unit
is placed in the participant’s home. This call will enable the PRU+ to receive the necessary curfew
and time information from the CC to start monitoring the participant. The call can be done from any
telephone prior to installation in the participant’s residence. The PRU+ WILL NOT be able to
monitor the participant is this initial call is not performed.
Note : Do not turn the PRU+ off or reset the unit after the PRU+ has successfully completed it’s call
or it will lose all of the stored curfew information.
If the initial setup call is performed at your office, confirm if your office requires an additional digit to
access an outside line. If an additional digit (ie. 9) is required before an outside line is accessible
then this digit can be inserted into the dial string by changing the dial prefix setting in Extended
Special Function Mode. For more information on changing the telephone number refer to Extended
Special Function Mode on page 38.
After the operating PRU+ has been taken to the participants home the PRU+ must be plugged into
the wall outlet. Once this has been done the report will indicate an ..info ac ok event. The unit is
equipped with a motion sensor that will indicate movement. (See Individual Status Log Report on
Page 50) This message is important because it could potentially indicate that the participant is
taking the PRU+ with him / her when he / she leaves the area of confinement.
