STRATEGIC Technologies Inc ACU Overview iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 5 ACU Overview Strategic’s iTRX Series ACU combines ease of use with unequalled flexibility. The features of the ACU have been designed to simplify equipment installation and program management, and to provide for future expansion and enhancements. The features of the ACU include: ¾ Small footprint - 0.4 square feet ¾ Lightweight (w/dual battery - 3.7 lbs, w/single battery - 2.5 lbs) ¾ Compact, aesthetic design ¾ Removable AC power adapter, with latching connector ¾ Two RJ-11 modular telephone jacks for a line connection and a telephone ¾ 15-pin expansion connector ¾ 16-character by 2-line visual display panel for displaying configuration settings, installation instructions, and other information ¾ Two front panel input buttons for user input and changing configuration settings ¾ Internal Antenna ¾ Variable Range (Adjustable) ¾ New Proprietary Signal Processing ¾ Quick Install Mode Required field equipment for installing and/or removing a unit To install or remove the ACU / iTX set, or to use any of the function mode features, only the following items are required: • The ACU / iTX set complete with strap • An iTRX Series LOCK • Scissors • Small plastic turn key (optional)

ACU Basics STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 6 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 ACU Basics Turning the ACU on To begin the installation process, the ACU must be turned on. To turn the ACU on, simply connect the AC adapter to the back of the ACU (See Figure 1 below) and plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet. Note: Do not connect the telephone line. The ACU will immediately activate, sounding one or more beeps, and is ready for the next step in the installation process. Figure 1 : Back Panel of the ACU Turning the ACU off To turn the ACU off, the use of the LOCK is required. Removing/disconnecting AC power will not turn the ACU off. Removal of AC power will cause the ACU to function using its internal battery. The ACU will continue to operate until the internal battery is exhausted, or the ACU is turned off by using the LOCK. Using the LOCK, press the iRX button on the LOCK, while holding the LOCK within three feet of the ACU. The front panel (see Figure 2 below) will display two choices: "A=Function Mode” and "B=Turn ACU Off". Press the "B" button on the ACU front panel. When the "Remove AC power now..." message is displayed, unplug the AC adapter. The ACU will then shut off. While the ACU is off, either because it was deliberately turned off or has turned off due to an AC power loss long enough to exhaust the internal battery, all stored information is maintained using a separate back-up battery. Figure 2 : Front Panel Display Telephone line to wall Telephone line to phone AC Power

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc ACU Basics iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 7 ACU Indicator Lights and Buttons The "Power" and "Charge" lights on the front of the ACU (see Figure 2: Front Panel Display) indicate the presence/absence of AC power, and whether or not the internal battery is being charged. If the AC Light goes out, this indicates the ACU has been disconnected from AC Power. When the Charge light goes out, this indicates that the internal battery is fully charged. The “A”, “B” and “*” buttons on the front panel will not function during normal monitoring operation and the participant is not able to affect the operation of the unit should the buttons be pushed. These buttons are usable only when the ACU is in Function Mode. While in Function Mode, the ACU will prompt you to push a button to access a particular feature (i.e.: If the ACU reads B=Turn ACU off; pushing the “B” button will turn the ACU off). ACU Operation (Active Mode) When the ACU is turned on, it first performs a diagnostic check of its internal memory and program. During these checks the ACU will make one or more beeps. The front panel display will be initialized and a title screen indicating the current software version (i.e.: v3.1), the ACU serial number (i.e. A28192), and the iTX serial number (i.e.: T23456) will be displayed, as shown below. This title screen will be displayed for several seconds, and the display will automatically be cleared. The day, date and time will then be displayed, as shown below. If this date / time is incorrect it will be automatically updated when the ACU calls the central computer (CC). When the ACU is operating correctly, the seconds field on the clock will increment. When the ACU is connected to a telephone line, the ACU will immediately attempt to place a call to the central computer and display “Starting Call”. While the ACU is communicating with the CC the display will read “Phone In Use" and a counter will run in the lower right corner, as shown below. During the conversation with the CC, a telephone symbol will flash periodically in the lower right corner of the display. NOTE: The clock on the display will not change while a call is in progress. STRATEGIC V3.1A28192 T23456 WED JAN/05/2003 02:27:45 PM JAN05/03 02:31PMPhone In Use 07

ACU Basics STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 8 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 During a call, if successful, the ACU will receive configuration parameters, the current date / time from the central computer, and all stored information in the ACU will be transmitted to the CC. It will also receive the participant’s curfew information for the current day and the following day. When the call has been completed, the ACU will display the result of the call, either "Call Successful", or an error message such as "No Dialtone", "CC Busy", etc. (See Call Attempt Error Messages Page 8 for more details). Between phone calls, the ACU will display only the date and time. When the ACU attempts to call the central computer, the ACU will report its status on the bottom line of the display. ACU Calling the Central Computer (CC) The ACU will periodically call the central computer, for either a scheduled call-in check, to report an alarm or to report an alarm clear event. These calls will proceed in exactly the same fashion as described in the section above “ACU Operation”. If a call attempt fails, the ACU will display the reason for the failed call attempt on the bottom of the display. The ACU will attempt to call again in a few minutes, and repeatedly at varying intervals, until the maximum re-dial attempts (14 attempts) are made. Any event that is generated after the maximum re-dial attempts are made will cause the ACU to repeat the dialling sequence. While the ACU is waiting to make another call attempt, if the previous attempt failed, a code indicating the reason for the failure will be displayed at the bottom right corner of the display. This code matches the previously displayed message. The codes are as follows: Call Attempt Error Messages Code Display Message Description 2 CC Busy The CC number was busy. 3 No Dialtone The participant’s phone line was already in use. 4 No Connect The call was interrupted while the ACU was dialling or the ACU dialled but never connected to the CC. 5 Communication Error The call was interrupted while connected to the CC. B Blind Dial If any call attempt errors occur while the ACU is in blind dial mode a “B” will be placed to the right of the numeric code. (See below for more information on blind dial mode). JAN05/03 02:32PMCall Successful

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc ACU Basics iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 9 Blind Dial Mode If the ACU has made an attempt where a “No Dialtone” has been indicated, the ACU will automatically call on the next attempt using blind dial mode. In blind dial mode the ACU will dial whether there is a dial tone or not. This will enable the ACU to attempt to connect to the Central Computer even if the dial tone used by the local phone company is non-standard and cannot be detected through normal hardware detection.

iTX Basics STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 10 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 iTX Basics Features The iTX (transmitter) attaches to the participant’s ankle or wrist. The iTX transmits a radio frequency signal once every 11 seconds on rotating frequencies. The transmission is received by the iTRX Series receiver (ACU). The transmission contains an iTX serial number, and two status messages. The iTX serial number identifies the iTX to the ACU. The ACU expects to receive a specific identifying serial number from the iTX in order to validate the transmission. The two status messages are strap sever and low battery. The strap sever message indicates if the strap is completely broken. The low battery message indicates if the battery installed in the iTX is approaching the limits of its lifetime or if it is improperly installed. Resetting the iTX The strap sever alarm has the ability to remember if the alarms were ever activated. This will ensure that should the participant sever the strap while away from the area of confinement and attempt to repair it prior to returning, the alarm will be reported upon return. These parts of the iTX circuitry need to be reset upon initial installation by using a LOCK. The iTX button on the LOCK is used to reset the alarm. Simply place the LOCK against the reset point (See Figure 3: Resetting an iTX) on the iTX and press the iTX button once. The LOCK will emit a special electronic signal (while the red light is on) and reset the circuitry. See Page 24 for more information regarding Function Mode use of a LOCK. Figure 3 : Resetting an iTX

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc LOCK Basics iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 11 LOCK Basics The LOCK is a device that is carried by the person who installs equipment on participants. The LOCK has two functions that are required during installation. The first function which is activated when you push the iRX button, allows access to Function Mode / Extended Function Mode on the ACU (See Page 24 for more information on Function Mode and Page for more information on Extended Function Mode). The second function which is activated when you push the iTX button will reset the strap circuitry on an iTX (See Pages 10, 11, 15, 16 for more information on resetting the iTX). Replacing the Battery The LOCK uses a standard 9V alkaline battery (non-rechargeable). To replace the battery push the two round “buttons” on each side of the LOCK at the same time. This will cause the bottom cover cap to be released. You can then simply replace the battery that is currently in the LOCK. Low Battery Indicator The LOCK will indicate if the battery is low by flashing green / red when any button is pushed. The LOCK may continue to operate for several installations after the light starts flashing. Figure 4 : LOCK

CMU Basics STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 12 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 CMU Basics The Cellular Module Unit (CMU) provides the ability to “actively” monitor participants even if the participant does not have a telephone line (or lives in an area with no telephone coverage). Using the cellular network, the CMU allows the ACU to communicate with the central computer. Once the CMU has been activated by the local cellular company, simply follow the installation procedures below and the CMU will work seamlessly with the ACU. Installation 1. Place the CMU on a stable surface near the ACU and close to an AC power outlet. 2. Connect the ACU to the CMU by plugging the ACU’s telephone cord into the jack on the CMU. 3. Plug the CMU’s AC power cord into an available 110VAC outlet 4. Activate the CMU by using a pen or other similar object to turn the power switch on. The power switch will illuminate when the unit is active. 5. Proceed with the normal ACU installation instructions. Removal 1. Follow the normal de-installation instructions for the ACU. 2. De-activate the CMU by using a pen or other similar object to turn the power switch off. The power switch will not be illuminated when the unit has been de-activated. 3. Unplug the CMU from the 110VAC outlet.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Installation Procedures iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 13 ACU Installation Procedures There are several methods of installation available with the ACU. The ACU can monitor a participant’s compliance to their curfew with or without being connected to a telephone line. The ACU communicates with the central monitoring computer using a standard telephone line (Active Mode) and/or may also monitor when no telephone line is available (Passive Mode) by periodically connecting it to a telephone line to download its information. The following pages describe both types of installation in detail. Quick Install guides the installer through all necessary criteria to install an ACU in the participant’s area of confinement. Once these criteria have been met the ACU 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 ACU and must be received from the central computer. The regular installation mode has been preserved for installations that require additional information. This mode of installation uses Test Mode to assist in the process. Although more steps are needed to install the ACU using Test Mode the installer has a greater degree of flexibility in complex installations, especially if the range needs to be adjusted. Each set of instructions (Active / Passive) has separate sections for Quick Install or Test Mode 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 (i.e.: Quick Install) and use only the section selected.

Active Mode Installation STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 14 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Active Mode Installation These instructions should be used if the participant is to be monitored via a telephone line in the participant’s residence. The ACU will call into the Central Computer on a regular basis reporting all activity. Pre-Installation A. If your equipment is monitored by a Monitoring Center:- - Fax the Enrolment Form to the Monitoring Center, giving as much time as possible before the ACU is to be installed at a participant’s residence. The Monitoring Center must be notified before the ACU calls in. See Passive Mode Operation (See Page 20) for more details on installation of an ACU in a passive monitoring situation. B. If you monitor your own equipment:- - Assure you have entered the participant data on your system before you install the ACU in the participant’s residence. See Passive Mode Operation (Page 20) for more details on installation of an ACU in a passive monitoring situation. ACU Installation - Quick Install 1. Position the ACU: Remove the ACU and AC power adapter from the case. Place the ACU in a central location, preferably closer to the participant’s bedroom than their living area, elevated at least three feet / ninety centimetres from the floor. 2. Plug in the ACU: Plug one end of the AC power adapter into a standard 110 Volt electrical outlet and the other end into the ACU. Be sure to screw the AC power connector firmly into the matching connector on the back of the ACU. Note: Do not connect the telephone line. The ACU 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 ACU internal battery is fully charged. 3. Clear Stored Events: Press and hold the iRX button on the LOCK until the display prompts “A=Function Mode”, press “A” 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. Enter Quick Install: Press “A” button once. When the display prompts “B=Quick Install”, press the “B” button to enter Quick Install. Follow the messages on the top line. Plug the telephone line into the jack marked LINE on the back of the ACU.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Active Mode Installation iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 15 iTX Installation 5. Install the battery. Remove protective cover from battery and return the cover to the storage case. (Replace this cover when the battery is removed from the iTX.) Place battery into the iTX battery well, aligning the arrow on the battery with arrow beside the ‘O’ mark on the iTX. Using your thumbs, push down firmly and evenly on both sides of the battery and turn counter clockwise. The arrow on the battery must align with the arrow beside the ‘C’ mark on the iTX. L Note: The battery fits very tightly and must not be tipped when turning to the ‘C’ position. Incorrect installation will damage the battery or cause false tampers. L Note: The life of this battery is in excess of one year. If you wish you may safely store the iTX without removing the battery. 6. Size the strap. Attach wide end of the strap to the iTX baseplate. The corner of the strap must fit under the small flange on the inside of the baseplate. With the baseplate on the outside of the leg, wrap the strap around the participant’s leg, just above the ankle. (For tips on correct sizing, see Step 7.) At the narrow end of the strap, note which holes will attach to the two posts on the baseplate. Remove the strap from the participant’s leg and cut off excess strap at the edge of the first hole past the two hole position noted when sizing. If in doubt, always cut the strap larger and recheck the size. Figure 5 : Attaching the strap to the baseplate 7. Check the fit: Proper sizing of the strap is important for both a secure installation and comfort of the participant. The strap should be sized with the participant standing. Use the following to help you determine the proper size: 1. check the strap tightness on the side opposite the iTX. 2. a finger should fit snugly between the strap and ankle. 3. the strap should not pinch the ankle. 8. Fastening the strap on the participant. After cutting the strap to the correct length, wrap the strap and baseplate around the leg. The corner of the narrow end must be placed under the flange. This will hold the strap down until you have pressed the strap firmly down into place on the two baseplate posts.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Active Mode Installation iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 17 ACU Installation - using Test Mode Use this method if you are going to use the standard installation technique. 1. Position the ACU: Remove the ACU and AC power adapter from the case. Place the ACU 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 ACU: Plug one end of the AC power adapter into a standard110 Volt electrical outlet and the other end into the ACU. Be sure to screw the AC power connector firmly into the matching connector on the back of the ACU. Note : Do not connect the telephone line. The ACU 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 ACU is fully charged. 3. Clear Stored Events: Press and hold the . iRX button on the LOCK until the display prompts “A = Function Mode” press “A” 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 value indicates the signal strength of the iTX to the ACU. Position the participant on the outer limits of the area of confinement and note the value displayed. Make a note of this value and reduce it by 30. This reduced value must be set into the ACU using the Extended Function Mode, refer to page 26. Note: The higher the value of the “RFStr”, the smaller the area of confinement. The lower the value of the “RFStr”, the larger the area of confinement. *** Strategic does not recommend settings at the maximum or minimum level when setting the signal strength. 5. Install the iTX: Follow the instructions outlined under the ACU Installation - Quick Install section if you need details on installing the iTX. Installation Completion 6. Test the iTX Signal: Watch the ACU in test mode, to ensure that the signal from the iTX is being received. The iTX code number will be displayed and the ACU will beep to indicate it has received the signal from the assigned iTX. Note: during the first 5 seconds after the ACU receives the signal there will be a “+” immediately in front of the iTX number. This will disappear after 5 seconds and will be replaced by a ‘T’ if it is the assigned (correct) iTX for the ACU. If the iTX signal is not received within 1 minute, remove the iTX and check that the battery is properly installed. 7. Reset the iTX: When a signal has been received by the ACU, use the LOCK’s iTX button to reset the alarms on the iTX. Wait until the next signal from the iTX. If the alarms have been properly reset, the iTX number will be displayed, with no icons following it. 8. Complete the Installation: On the ACU, press the “A” button until “B=Exit” is displayed. Press button “B” to exit. Note: the telephone is now connected to the ACU. Connect the telephone line to the wall and to the “LINE” jack on the ACU. The ACU will call the Central Computer. When “Call Successful” is displayed, installation is complete.

Active Mode Installation STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 18 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 De-Installation / Removal A. If your equipment is monitored by a Monitoring Center:- - Fax the Information Change Form to the Monitoring Center on the same day that the unit is to be removed from the participant’s residence. It is important that the ACU does not continue to call into the monitoring center after the termination date. If the ACU cannot be retrieved from the residence have the participant disconnect the telephone cord until it can be picked up. B. If you monitor your own equipment:- - Assure the participant‘s sentence ends on the same day that the unit is removed from the participant’s residence. 1. Turn the ACU Off: Press and hold the iRX button on the LOCK until “Please Wait...” is displayed on the ACU. When “B=Turn ACU Off” is displayed, press button “B” on the ACU. Disconnect the AC power adapter from the standard 110 volt electrical outlet. The ACU will turn off in approximately five seconds. 2. Disconnect the ACU: Disconnect the AC power adapter from the back of the ACU. Disconnect the telephone cord from the ACU and wall jack. Place the ACU, AC power adapter and telephone cord into the carry / storage case. 3. Remove the iTX: A pair of #170 shears have been supplied for removing the iTX from the baseplate. On each end of the iTX are two channels with a small hole at the bottom of each. Place the points of the shears into the holes and cut the plastic, twisting the shears after making the cut. (Refer to the pictures on the following page.) You must cut both ends in this manner. This will release the baseplate from the iTX. You can now pull the iTX away from the baseplate and remove the strap from the baseplate. Check that the piece of plastic cut from the baseplate is removed from the end of the iTX.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Active Mode Installation iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 19 Figure 7: How to cut the iTX for removal Step1: Push tips of the shears into the two holes. Step 2: Cut the plastic. Step 3: Twist shears to pry the iTX apart. Step 4: Remove iTX from baseplate L Note: You may choose to skip the next step and leave the battery in the iTX, if you so desire. 4. Remove the battery: Using the plastic turn key, rotate the battery in a clockwise direction from the ‘C’ to the ‘O’. When the alignment arrow on the battery lines up with the arrow beside the ‘O’ on the iTX the battery is open and can be removed. Use the end of the turn key to gently lift one edge of the battery up. Remove the battery from the iTX by pulling it out of the battery well. Replace the battery cover on the battery. Place the battery in the plastic container in the carry / storage case. It is important that batteries be stored correctly to maintain battery life. DO NOT STORE BATTERIES TOGETHER WITHOUT THE COVER IN PLACE.

Passive Mode STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 20 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Passive Mode Passive Mode is used when there is no telephone line available at the participant’s residence. The ACU can store up to 2500 separate events in its’ internal memory. This allows the ACU to be placed in the area of confinement to monitor the participant and then be brought in and downloaded at a later date. After the ACU transfers all of its’ information to the central computer a complete record of the participant’s activity will be available. The information stored inside the ACU should be downloaded at least once per week. Important Information Regarding Passive Mode Operation Since the ACU will be placed in a participant’s home without constant contact with the Central Computer, it is important that the ACU make an initial call to the Central Computer before it is placed in the participant’s home. This call will enable the ACU to synchronize its internal clock with the central computer’s clock and to clear any old events that may have been stored in the ACU memory. The call can be done from any telephone prior to installation in the participant’s residence. The ACU WILL NOT be able to monitor the participant if this initial call is not performed. Note : Do not turn the ACU off or reset the unit after the ACU has successfully completed it’s call 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 (i.e. 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 Function Mode. For more information on changing the telephone number refer to Extended Function Mode on page 26. After the operating ACU has been taken to the participant’s home, the ACU must be plugged into the AC power wall outlet. Once this has been done the report will indicate an “..info ac ok” event. The ACU is equipped with a motion sensor that will indicate movement. (See Individual Status Log Report on Page 42) This message is important because it could potentially indicate that the participant is taking the ACU with him / her when he / she leaves the area of confinement.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Passive Mode Installation iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 21 Passive Mode Installation These instructions should be used if the participant is to be monitored without the use of a phone line in the participant’s residence.

Passive Mode Installation STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 22 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Downloading Information inside the ACU 1. Connect AC power: The information inside the ACU should be regularly downloaded (i.e. once per week / once every two weeks). Connect the AC adapter to a wall outlet. 2. Connect Telephone: Connect the telephone cable to the telephone outlet. The ACU should immediately start to call the central computer (CC). 3. Wait for “Call Successful”: The ACU should indicate “Call Successful” when the ACU has transferred all of the stored information. If the ACU does not indicate “Call Successful” the ACU needs to call into the CC again. This can most easily be accomplished by removing the AC plug from the wall until the ACU indicates “Starting Call..”. Once the ACU indicates “Telephone In Use” plug the AC adapter back into the wall outlet. De-Installation / Removal A. If your equipment is monitored by a Monitoring Center:- - Fax the Information Change Form to the Monitoring Center on the same day that the ACU is to be removed from the participant’s residence. B. If you monitor your own equipment:- - Assure the participant‘s sentence ends on the same day that the ACU is removed from the participant’s residence. 1. Connect AC Power & Telephone: Connect AC Power to the ACU by plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet. Connect the telephone into the telephone outlet. The ACU should immediately start to call into the central computer. 2. Wait for “Call Successful”: When the ACU indicates “Call Successful”, the ACU has transferred all of the stored information. If the ACU does not indicate “Call Successful”, the ACU needs to call into the CC again. This can most easily be accomplished by removing the AC plug from the wall until the ACU indicates “Starting Call..”. Once the ACU indicates “Telephone In Use” plug the AC adapter back into the wall outlet. 3. Turn the ACU off: Press and hold the iRX button on the LOCK until “Please Wait...” is displayed on the ACU.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Quick Install iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 33 Quick Install The Quick Install feature enables the installer to easily setup the ACU / iTX set and have the ACU determine if the setup is completed. The Quick Install feature is designed to prompt the installer for any setup requirements that have not been met. Once all the criteria has been met the ACU will automatically call into the Central Computer and pick up its final configuration settings. The Quick Install will display different messages depending on what is still required. The ACU will scan the list of requirements and prompt for the next one needed. The list is as follows: 1. AC is connected 2. ACU Case is closed 3. iTX has transmitted / iTX has been received by ACU 4. iTX has transmitted with a Strap Sever ok indication 5. iTX has transmitted with a Battery ok indication 6. Set Range 7. Telephone Line is present Once these conditions have been met the ACU will indicate that everything is ok and will call the Central Computer. If the ACU indicates “Call Successful” the installation is complete.

Motion Sensor STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 34 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Motion Sensor The ACU contains a sensor which will report motion if the ACU is moved by the participant once it has been installed. Normal household activities could cause movement such as the ACU being bumped or being moved to clean. When the ACU senses motion, it will immediately record a motion event. In order to move the ACU any distance it would be necessary for the participant to disconnect both the AC power and telephone. If the ACU records a Telephone Disconnect, Telephone Connect, AC Disconnect and/or AC Connect event within two (2) minutes before or after an motion event, the motion event will be recorded as an “Alarm Motion”. If there is no Telephone or AC message, the motion event will be recorded as an “..info motion” message. The following examples show various ways the motion is reported and when a motion alarm would be reported: A. An AC or telephone event occurs, then within two minutes a motion event occurs, the ACU will report the following: Event reported Explanation Alarm No AC - AC was disconnected, no previous motion was recently evident Alarm Motion - motion is sensed within 2 minutes of the AC disconnect. B. A motion event occurs, there was no prior AC or Telephone related event, the ACU will report the following: Event reported Explanation ..Info Motion - motion was sensed, no previous recent AC or Telephone event. C. Motion occurs, then within 2 minutes an AC or Telephone disconnect occurs, the ACU will report the following: Event reported Explanation ..Info Motion - motion was sensed, no previous recent AC or Telephone event. Alarm Tel. Disc. - the telephone was disconnected from the ACU Alarm Motion - the telephone disconnect occurred within 2 minutes of the first motion event

Individual Log Report - SureTrac STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 44 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Event Type Definitions The event type describes when each event calls the Central Computer and the priority assigned to that event (see Events Generated for the Individual Status Log above). Alarm - These events indicate a violation has occurred that needs immediate attention. These events are called into the Central Computer immediately. Clear - These events indicate a violation has been resolved. These events are called into the Central Computer immediately. Info - These events are for your information only or they do not need immediate attention. These events are NOT called into the CC immediately except for ..info PRU+ Reset. CC - These events are generated by the Central Computer.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Explanation of the Individual Log Report iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 45 Explanation of the Individual Log Report - SureTrac The Central Computer will print out the reports for each participant in the following format: SureTrac ID (81443) : Unique Number assigned to each participant by the monitoring center Group Code (STI) : Code that identifies all participants from an agency or group. It is assigned by the monitoring center. Participant (Fred Jones) : Participant’s name Office (Jim Ladd) : Supervision Officer Event Time : The time the event occurred (used the ACU time). Event : Type of Event that occurred. Please refer to Individual Status Log Report on Page 42. Time Received : Date and Time the event was received by the Central Computer (CC time used). The report will group events that are received at the same time. This is independent of the event time. It will then display the collective time received at the top of the group. Next Call : Date and Time of the next schedule call. The next call will be at this time unless a violation (ALARM) occurs.

Explanation of the Individual Log Report STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 46 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Report Reading Techniques Individual Log Reports provide the officer with feedback regarding each participant monitored. They provide detailed information on the activities of the participant. It is important that every officer have a complete understanding on how reports are generated and read. The system is extremely thorough in the number of events that are reported. The information can be very valuable in determining the offenders’ activities. Due to the attention to detail, some reports are difficult to read unless the user is aware of the philosophy to use when reading them. 1. ACU events are placed into the log file in the same order they are received. When the ACU communicates with the Central Computer the events that were stored are transferred in the same order they were recorded. i.e. No sorting is done on the data received. 2. Report Filters Reports can be generated using filters that can remove certain types of events from being printed. These filters are usually used to remove any information that is either not desired by the officer or only adds complexity to the report. Please consult your monitoring center on the type of alarms that are included in your reports. 3. Multiple events can be sent to the CC during a phone call. All events that are stored within the ACU will be sent to the CC when the ACU makes a successful call. The officer can denote which events have been sent on each call because the first event in the list will have a time received/ next call header. Non-violation events (See Event Type Definitions on Page 42) will not be sent to the CC immediately but will be stored until the next time the ACU calls the Central Computer. 4. Events have standardized formats All Alarm indications are in capitals (i.e. ALARM AWAY). All Clear messages that indicate an alarm has been resolved end with ok (i.e. ..info enter ok). Info events are for your information and are in lower case. 5. The leave window affects when the ACU calls in with alarms. The ACU will not record an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave until the leave window has been exceeded. At this time, the ACU will generate an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave with a time that reflects the last time the ACU received a transmission from the iTX (i.e. the event is back dated by the length of the leave window). Leaves that occur around the time of the curfew boundary will use the curfew at the time the event was generated.

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Explanation of the Individual Log Report iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 47 6. Communication Errors are combined. (if alike) Whenever communication errors (ie ..info cc busy, ..info no dialtone, ..info no connect or ..info comm error) occur back-to-back that are the same type the ACU automatically combines the communication error into one event. This is designed to save on storage space inside the ACU. 7. The ACU is capable of determining curfew violations This is dependant on the configuration and software of the central computer system. With the SureTrac software the ACU receives a curfew model from the Central Computer. When the curfew is violated the ACU will call into the Central computer and report the alarm. For the Renaissance system, the ACU reports every event to the Central computer to determine alarm status.

Frequently Asked Questions STRATEGIC Technologies Inc 48 iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can an answering machine be used with the ACU? An answering machine will not, as a general rule, affect the operation of the equipment Although, depending on the quality of the answering machine it may load the line or create an unsuitable line condition that could cause problems with ACU communications. 2. Can the ACU work with call waiting and call notes? No, these services interrupt the unit while it is making outgoing calls. They should be removed. 3. Will the central computer call the ACU and when? No, the Central Computer never calls the ACU. The ACU initiates all communications with the host computer. The Call Overdue alarm indicates when the ACU has not checked in on time to the Central Computer. 4. Will light switches affect the ACU? A light switch will only affect the ACU if the switch controls the electrical power to the outlet the ACU is connected. When the switch is turned off it will disconnect the ACU from AC power. This will cause a NO AC alarm to be reported to the Central Computer. 5. Will the ACU operate if connected to a modem on a computer? A computer modem may interfere with the operation of the ACU if it is using the phone line when the ACU needs to make a call to the CC. Also, if the computer modem has the auto answer setting enabled it will interfere with all calls. 6. Will the ACU operate when the phone line from the system is connected to a jack shared by a satellite system? Most satellite systems have been found to interrupt the ACU from making outgoing calls 7. Will the ACU listen to personal phone conversations? No, the ACU has no capability to tape phone conversations

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc Frequently Asked Questions iTRX Series Users Guide (STI) Feb 6, 2004 49 8. Can the offender tamper with the A/B buttons, and manipulate the function mode commands within the ACU? No, the A/B buttons will only function when the ACU is in Function Mode. The only way to access Function Mode is by using the LOCK. 9. Can the iTX be placed in water, or does it have to be wrapped in plastic? Yes, the iTX can be placed in water. It is completely waterproof for normal bathing activity. 10. Can the ACU provide battery backup in case of commercial power outage? Yes, as soon as there is an interruption in power, the ACU will immediately switch to the backup battery. This battery lasts for approximately 26 to 52 hours, depending on the model of ACU. 11. Can two ACU systems be placed in a home simultaneously? Yes, you may place two ACUs in the same residence. You must assure that the two iTXs have different transmitter codes. This will allow each ACU to monitor each offender independently. You may encounter some communication errors due to both units communicating across the same phone line. You may also experience some short leaves / enters if both iTXs transmit at the same time 12. Does the ACU system need to be programmed for it to be used passively? The ACU will only need to be programmed if the telephone line that the ACU will call out on has to dial a different number (IE additional digits to access an outside line). See the Extended Function Mode section for information on how to change the telephone number. 13. Does the ACU instantly receive schedule changes when the officer calls in a curfew change? No, the ACU curfew model is applied when it calls into the CC. 14. Can the ACU be placed directly on the floor of an offender’s home? The ACU must be placed at least three feet above the floor.
