Introduction MEMS 3000 HomeStation & Transmitter Installation Guide 1-1Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome to the Electronic Monitoring System and correctional tool, created by ElmoTech Ltd., that has the ability to collect, analyze and intelligently act on information from multiple sources. An inconspicuous transmitting Tag (TX) is attached to the client's ankle or wrist by means of a tamper-detecting strap. The client's presence (or absence) is tracked constantly by radio transmissions between the Tag and the MEMS 3000 HomeStation (RF Model). When the client enters or leaves the defined home environment, the MEMS 3000 HomeStation records the event. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation then checks the client’s stored curfew schedule to determine if the event is in violation of his or her curfew order. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation is a highly efficient monitoring unit, integrating alcohol testing (BAT), video identity verification and radio frequency (RF Model) presence monitoring into a single unit. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation transfers the breath alcohol test results and user’s image to the monitoring center at a push of a button. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation reports certain violations to the monitoring center as soon as they occur. All violation, non-violation events that are not defined as immediate are stored in the MEMS 3000 HomeStation for the next upload. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation initiates a pre-defined routine sanity call to the monitoring center in order to report the status of the equipment and upload stored events. This event information completes the audit trail of the client’s behavior. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation detects and reports tilting, loss of power, loss of telephone line, low battery, and other alarm conditions. The MEMS 3000 HomeStation also detects transmitter tag tampering, tag removal and low battery.

This is accompanied by 3 audible beeping sounds. This indicates that the MEMS 3000 HomeStation is receiving the appropriate transmission signal from the transmitting tag Note that the MEMS 3000 HomeStation is programmed to automatically terminate the range test after approximately 15 minutes! 3. You can now escort the offender to the following locations: • Locations that are the most distant from the MEMS 3000 HomeStation • Locations behind large metal objects • Locations where the offender may be located for long periods, for example the living room, bedroom or toilet. • Remote locations where the offender is also allowed to be, for example the garage, cellar or back yard.
Activating the Offender’s Monitoring Program MEMS 3000 HomeStation & Transmitter Installation Guide 5-3This process is required in order to check that the current range setting in the MEMS 3000 HomeStation is sufficient. You can also use this time to check for dead spots in the curfew location. Remember that, as long as the middle LED is blinking and the accompanying beeping sounds are heard, the transmitting tag is still within the MEMS 3000 HomeStation’s range 4. Wait for up to 2 minutes in each location tested for 4 transmission signals. Be aware of the following: • If less than 4 transmission signals have been received you may have to call the monitoring office personnel and request that they set the range setting to a longer range. Remember that, if this is the case, the current range test must be ended, and a new range test started. • If the range setting is currently set at its longest (i.e. maximum), you may have to relocate the MEMS 3000 HomeStation in order to get a better coverage. 5. Once you have tested the range in all the relevant locations, you can call the monitoring office personnel and request an end to the current range test. Once initiated the following occurs: • Once the end range test call has ended, the MEMS 3000 HomeStation makes an audible beeping sound, the middle LED stops flashing and then turns off Once the offender’s program configuration has been successfully downloaded, the range test performed and the MEMS 3000 HomeStation is in monitoring mode, you can enroll the offender into the monitoring program.
