FVU Basics

The Field Verification Unit (drive-by) is designed to receive signals from the PID while away the

participant is away from their area of confinement. The small portable package allows an officer to

drive to a site away from the area of confinement and determine if the participant is located in the

area. The FVU is supplied with an AC adapter for use at the office and a cigarette lighter car

adapter for use while travelling in a vehicle. The FVU will also run off standard AA batteries that are

easily replaceable. The FVU is supplied with a standard rubber duck (stubby) antenna (range : 450'

/ 137m). There is also available (optional) a Mag-Mount antenna that gives the FVU greater

range(range : 600' / 183m). The display is backlit so that it is easily read while in no light

surroundings.

When the FVU is turned on (switch is located on the right side of the FVU) it displays the title

screen indicating the current software version (ie: 1.7), as shown below.

This title screen will be displayed for several seconds, and the display will then be cleared. The date

and time will be displayed next, as shown below.

The format for the date is mm/dd and hh:mm. When the FVU receives a signal from a PID it will

display the code of the PID and the alarm status on the bottom line, as shown below.

The PID code (021) is displayed in the bottom left corner of the display. The alarm status

messages are displayed next to the code. “S” indicates a Strap Tamper is present on this

transmission. “L” indicates a low PID battery is present on this transmission.
