STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Installation Procedures
PRU+ Installation Procedures
There are several methods of installation available with the PRU+. The PRU+ can monitor a
participant’s compliance to their curfew with or without being connected to a telephone line. The
PRU+ communicates with the central monitoring computer using a standard telephone line (Active
Mode) and/or may also monitor when no telephone line is available by periodically connecting it to a
telephone line (Passive Mode) to download its information. The following pages describe both
types of installation in detail.
The latest version of the firmware (v2.1) introduces a new style of installation that will drastically
simplify the installation of the PRU+ set. Quick Install guides the installer through all necessary
criteria to install a PRU+ in the participant’s area of confinement. Once these criteria have been
met the PRU+ will automatically call into the Central Computer and pick up the final configuration
settings including the participant’s curfew information. Note: curfew information is not initially
in the PRU+ and must be received from the central computer.
Classic Installation has been preserved for installations that require additional information. Classic
Installation uses Test Mode to assist in the installation process. Although more steps are needed to
install the PRU+ using Test Mode the installer has a greater degree of flexibility in complex
installations, especially if variable range is needed.
Each set of instructions (Active / Passive) has separate sections for Quick Install or Classic
Installation. These sections guide the installer through the same steps in the installation process
but using that particular installation method. During installation choose the method desired (Quick
Install or Classic) and use only the section selected.
