This guide provides detailed information about the Series 6.0 Software, using the software and using system reports. It also provides an overview of the 9450, Quick Response (QR) and Integrated Care Management (ICM) Systems as well as an equipment overview. 9450 System The 9450 System monitors doors, elevators, hallways, and stairwells, to assist staff in monitoring patients and assets in a facility. The various transmitters and devices of the system alerts staff if a transmitters banding material is tampered with, cut or opened without authorization (referred to as Cut Band for Infant and Emergency Department systems only), or if monitored devices in the system are not functioning properly. An alarm also sounds if a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone. If the system fails to detect a transmitter within its monitored area, a Check Transmitter alarm is issued. Depending on which equipment options your facility has installed, the 9450 System can automatically lock doors and deactivate elevators. In addition, the system sounds an alarm at the Central Server and its network of Client computers when the event occurs. If configured, alarms are also annunciated at remote notification locations (i.e. pagers, walkie-talkie, Quick Look display). With the Mother/Infant Matching feature activated, an alarm is generated if there is a mismatch, meaning the infant and mother transmitters do not match; a linking error, meaning there is a problem linking the infant transmitter to a mother transmitter; or if a discharge is attempted without first matching the infant transmitter with the mother transmitter. NOTE: The Mother/Infant Matching feature is included in the software; however, if your facility is not currently configured for Mother transmitters, the Mother/Infant Matching feature IS NOT ACTIVE. For more information, contact RF Technologies Technical Support at (800) 669-9946 or (262) 790-1771. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 1 Preface Quick Response (QR) System The QR System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details that are essential in responding quickly to the needs of a patient.The QR System offers a variety of transmitters, each of which interfaces with the Central Server to assure that when a patient is in need, staff can be alerted via multiple methods (i.e. pagers, walkie-talkie, Quick Look display). A QR transmitter may be worn by a patient; it could be mounted to a wall where it is easy to access; it may be integrated with a wireless smoke detector; it could additionally be used in conjunction with the 9450 System. Integrated Care Management (ICM) System The Code Alert ICM System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details that are essential in responding quickly to a patients needs. The Code Alert ICM System offers a variety of transceiver devices, each of which interfaces with the Central Server to assure that when a patient is in need, staff is alerted. A transceiver is a device that periodically transmits a signal containing data to uniquely identify if from other transceivers. It may be worn by a patient; it could be mounted to a wall where it is easy to access; it may be integrated with a wireless smoke detector; it could even be used in conjunction with other systems such as the 9450 System and Code Alert Wanderer Monitoring System. Transceiver devices send data to the Central Server on a regular basis. When an event occurs that warrants a response, staff is alerted by an audible alarm from the Central Server, a message is displayed on-screen and the designated staff is summoned to respond to the situation. Staff can also be notified of an event via the ICM pager. WARNING: The 9450, QR and ICM Systems are designed and intended to work in conjunction with a facilitys overall security program, including reasonable operating policies and procedures. The systems, by themselves, cannot prevent abductions or elopements. Intended Audience The Series 6.0 Software User Guide is intended for users who use the software. It includes detailed information about the 9450, QR and ICM Systems, the software, and how to use the software. This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the Series 6.0 Administrators Guide along with other user and installation guides when specified. 2 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide Additional Detailed Documentation Additional Detailed Documentation Documentation for the system is available in Portable Document Format (PDF) on the System Documentation CD-ROM.

Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 3 Preface This page intentionally left blank. 4 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide Chapter 1 Equipment Overview Introduction This chapter provides equipment overviews of the devices supported by the system and device supervision. The supervision feature applies to many devices such as the alarming band transmitters, Pendants, Fall Monitoring and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the systems way of ensuring that devices are communicating properly and within range of the receivers. This chapter also provides details of the Central Server and Client computers used to run the software as well as Messaging and Walkie-Talkie information. Central Server and Client Computers The Central Server is a Windows based computer that runs the software. It contains the database and provides communication with devices in the system as well as the Client computer(s). Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client computers. The Client computers allow the user to perform such functions as admitting, discharging, and authorizing transfers and escorts. Each Client computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as they occur on a floor plan of the facility. The Central Server can be located in any area such as the nurses central station or security office. It must be located near a dedicated analog phone line or broadband connection to allow for remote Technical Support access when requested by the customer. Each Client computer must be located in a secure area that can be accessed by staff to enter and retrieve information. Quick Look Display The Quick Look Display shows information from the system at remote locations such as a secondary nurses station. When a Red alarm is issued from the system, it is received through the Quick Look Interface. The type of alarm (Cut Band, Door, Check), location of the alarm and the transmitter ID are displayed on a large, easy-to-read 2 x 20 Character Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFDs). As new alarms occur, they appear immediately; the display then begins scrolling through each active alarm. For more information about the Quick Look Display, see the Quick Look Display and Interface Installation Guide. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 5 Chapter 1: Equipment Overview 9450 System There are many transmitters and devices that can be used with the software. The transmitters and devices in this section are supported by the 9450 System running the Series 6.0 Software application. The 9450 System consist of the following equipment.
Central Server and Client Computer(s)
Quick Look Display(s)
Exit Alarm Controller
Exit Alarm Receiver
Magnetic Reed Switch
CodeLock Electromagnetic Lock
Quick Look Display
Alarming Band Receivers Alarming Band Transmitters
Wander Management
Mother Exit Alarm Controller The Exit Alarm Controller receives data from the Exit Alarm Receivers and issues an alarm if a transmitter is detected in the Exit Alarm Zone, and the door is open. The Exit Alarm Controller contains a keypad, and/or card reader access device, that allows authorized staff to reset the system after an alarm. The Exit Alarm Controller is the device that triggers the alarm process for the Central Server and Staff Alert. For more information about the Exit Alarm Controller, see the Delayed Egress Exit Alarm Controller Installation Guide. Power: The red light indicates that power is available to the system. Signal: The yellow light indicates that a signal has been received from the Exit Alarm Receivers. Status: The green light indicates that the system is in bypass or that the unit is disarmed. 6 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 9450 System Card Reader Access Device The Card Reader Access device can be connected to the Exit Alarm Controllers in order to use access cards for triggering bypass cycles and resetting alarms on the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader Access device can be an HID proximity card reader or a magnetic/bar code card reader (available at RF Technologies). The Card Reader is interfaced through an RS-232 serial communications port between the Card Reader and the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader and the Exit Alarm Controller may share a common power supply feed. The Exit Alarm Zone An Exit Alarm Zone is the area within range of a door, elevator, hallway, or stairwell that is being monitored by the system. If a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone and the door is open, an alarm sounds at the exit. If the door is equipped with a CodeLock, when a transmitter enters the Exit Alarm Zone and the door is closed, it will lock. The devices that are used in an Exit Alarm Zone are an Exit Alarm Controller, Magnetic Reed Switches, and Exit Alarm Receivers. Optional devices include CodeLock electromagnetic locks, passive infrared (PIR) detectors, and an External Reset/Bypass Keypad. Exit Alarm Receiver Exit Alarm Receivers are low frequency (LF) antennas placed on or near a door frame in an Exit Alarm Zone. They receive signals from transmitters within a monitored zone and send the signals to the Exit Alarm Controller, which triggers the alarm process. For more information about Exit Alarm Receivers, see the DuoLink Exit Alarm Receiver Installation Guide. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 7 Chapter 1: Equipment Overview Magnetic Reed Switch The Magnetic Reed Switch is used by an Exit Alarm Controller to detect that a monitored door is open. The Magnetic Reed Switch should be mounted at the top of a door near the non-hinged edge. It comes in two pieces:
a switch and a magnet. The switch is mounted on the door frame; the magnet is attached directly to the door. When normally closed (NC) reed switches are used on a double door, connect the switches in series. The provided Magnetic Reed Switches are normally closed (indicated with a gold Code Alert logo) when the doors are closed so that opening either door opens the switch on that door. CodeLock Electromagnetic Lock The CodeLock option is an electromagnetic lock attached to an exit and connected to the Exit Alarm Controller. If a transmitter is detected in the Exit Zone, the CodeLock activates to help stop the door from opening for as long as the transmitter is within range of the receivers. Refer to the CodeLock Electromagnetic Door Lock Installation Guide for information on installation and operation. 8 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 9450 System Alarming Band Receivers Alarming Band Receivers are placed strategically throughout the monitoring area to receive signals from the alarming band transmitters worn by patients. If the Cut Band feature is enabled, the system provides an alert if the banding material that holds the transmitter to the patient is tampered with, cut, or opened without authorization. Multiple receivers are used to ensure reception of the signal if there is an effort made to shield the transmitter during abduction or elopement attempts. For more information, see the Alarming Band Receiver Installation Guide. NOTE: The Mother/Infant function requires applicable Alarming Band Receivers. Alarming Band Zone An Alarming Band Zone is the area within range of an Alarming Band Receiver, several of which are mounted above the ceiling tiles of a facility. If a Cut Band alarm is triggered in an Alarming Band Zone, an alarm is sounded on all Client computers assigned to monitor the transmitters unit, a message is displayed in the Event List, and the location of the Alarming Band Receiver that detected the event is indicated on the map on the Client computer(s). Cut Band alarms are also posted on remote notification devices. Transmitters A transmitter is a device that periodically transmits a signal containing data to uniquely identify it from other transmitters. Some transmitters are also capable of transmitting information to identify that the band has been cut. Wander Management Transmitter A Wander Management transmitter is a wireless, mobile transmitter that can be worn around the wrist or ankle. An event is reported in the Event List when a patient is near a monitored door or attempts to leave an Exit Zone. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 9 Chapter 1: Equipment Overview Alarming Band Transmitters Alarming band transmitters are placed on the ankle or wrist of a patient or affixed to an asset. The transmitter becomes active once the banding material remains connected on both sides with banding material in place for 60 seconds. The 60-second window exists to allow for proper adjustment of the banding material. Infant Transmitter Patient Transmitter After one minute, the transmitter ID is displayed in the Event List and information of the patient or asset wearing the transmitter can be associated with the transmitter using the Admit or Auto-Enroll function. Alarming band transmitters can be supervised. If a transmitter is configured for Supervision, and fails to regularly communicate to the system, a Check Transmitter alarm will result in the Event List at the computer. For more information about securing, cleaning, and troubleshooting transmitters, see the appropriate Transmitter User Guide. Asset Tracking Alarming band transmitters can be used for asset management. When an alarming band transmitter is attached to an asset and admitted using the Add Asset admit function, Blue alarms are generated and appear in the Event List when an attempt is made to remove the assets from an Exit Zone or the band is tampered with or cut. 10 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 9450 System Mother Transmitter A Mother transmitter is placed on the wrist of a new mother and then linked to an Infant transmitter worn by her newborn. When the Infant transmitter is in proximity of the Mother transmitter, the Mother transmitter flashes Green light to indicate that the Infant and Mother transmitters match. If there is a mismatch, meaning the Infant and Mother transmitters do not match, the Mother transmitter flashes the Red light three times, and sounds a three beep alarm. A Mismatch Transmitter alarm is also generated in the Event List at the computer. If there is a linking problem, a Link Transmitter alarm is generated in the Event List at the computer. NOTE: Although the Mother transmitter will link to an Asset transmitter, the software does not support this functionality. If this happens, clear the mother transmitter and re-link the infant and mother transmitters. In cases where the Mother Transmitter is linked but no longer active (e.g. the patient has been discharged but the transmitter was never cleared) the transmitter will beep after 24 hours of inactivity. If the transmitter goes undetected and allowed to beep for 15 minutes, it will clear and discharge itself from the system. Tapping the Mother Transmitter will temporarily stop the beeping but the transmitter remains in a linked state until manually cleared (refer to the Mother Baby Match Mother Transmitter User Guide). If not cleared, the transmitter will beep again after another 24 hours of inactivity. CAUTION: The Mother Transmitter can be worn in the shower; complete submersion should be avoided. Prolonged submersion may result in equipment and/or system failure and voids any or all Product Warranty. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 11 Chapter 1: Equipment Overview Quick Response System Transmitters and devices listed in this section are supported by the Quick Response System running the Series 6.0 Software application. The Quick Response system includes transmitters that are both carried by the patient and fixed devices. A fixed device is a stationary device that is assigned to a room or a unit. This device is not transported with the patient but stays in the unit or room to which it is assigned. Quick Response devices are entered into the system by placing the device into an alarming state. The system senses the device when the device goes into alarm and adds it to the device list in the Configuration-Device window (refer to the Series 6.0 System Administrator Guide). The user must then update the device information;
for example, give the device a name and/or enable features. The Quick Responses System consist of the following equipment. Repeater Locator Paging Base Back-up Interface Pendant Transmitter
Central Server
Quick Look Display
Wireless Receiver
Wall Mount Transmitter
Universal Transmitter
Door/Window Transmitter Pull-Cord Smoke Detector PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor Emergency Devices Wireless Receiver The Receiver is a device that receives signals from the repeater, locator, or QR transmitters and communicates them to the Central Server. The Receiver can be supervised; if no information is received by the system from the Receiver for a specified number of minutes, a Device Fault alarm is generated in the Event List at the computer. 12 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide Quick Response System Repeater A Repeater is a device that receives the signals from Quick Response transmitter and communicates them to the Receiver. This enables the system to cover larger facilities. Repeaters are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Repeater and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the Event List at the computer. Locator Locators receive signals from Quick Response transmitters, add location data, and communicates the signals to the receiver. When an event occurs, the map of your facility will indicate the Locator that received the signal from the alarming device. Locators are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Locator and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the Event List at the computer. Paging Base The Paging Base (optional) sends radio frequency signals to the pager receiver(s) when events occur. The pager receiver indicates the name, room number, and event type of the transmitter that issued the alarm. Back-Up Interface The Back-up Interface is an optional device that takes over the responsibility of communicating with the paging base and provides alarm information (transmitter number only) in the event of an inoperable computer. NOTE: Please reference Transmitter Report and Device Report to correlate the transmitter number to patient or device. It is recommended to reprint the Census Report after new patients are admitted and discharged. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 13 Chapter 1: Equipment Overview Pendant Transmitters A Pendant transmitter is a wireless, mobile transmitter that can be worn around the neck or wrist, or attached to a belt. The Pendant transmitter is suitable for use in showers or baths. To prevent damage to the Pendant transmitter, avoid prolong submersion. Since the Pendant transmitter is a mobile device, no installation is required.

Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 25 Chapter 1: Equipment Overview Messaging Services Event Messaging The Event Messaging system allows staff members to be notified of system events. When an event occurs, the designated staff is summoned, via pager (standard and ICM), email, text message or phone to respond to the situation. Each messaging media can be assigned to a messaging group, which can be configured to receive messages specific to that group (nursing staff, maintenance, etc.). Messages may be sent to single message media or sent to entire groups at once. A Message Unit is the top tier of the Event Messaging system. Each Message Unit can be comprised of a number of Messaging Groups and a configured list of alarms and events that trigger messages. For example, Messaging Unit A can be configured to receive messages for Cut Band, Check Transmitter and Client Missing events. Message Unit B may be configured to respond to the same events as Messaging Unit A with the addition of Door Open and Device Fault events. Depending on the needs of your facility, a Messaging Group can be included in more than one unit. In other words, Messaging Group 2 can be included in Messaging Unit A and Messaging Unit B. If no alarms are selected for a Messaging Unit, alarms will default to a Messaging Group. Shift selections can also be selected to indicate that, within a specified shifts time period, all messages will be sent to that shift. Messaging Delays, Retries and Escalation Messaging Delay allows the user to enter the number of seconds between an event and the messaging of designated staff. This delay provides enough time for the system to transmit location information to the Client computer(s). Messaging Delay is set by the installer and should not be changed without consulting a factory-
trained administrator. The Messaging Retries features will retry a message after a specified number of minutes for any event to which there is no response. Once a message has been retried the configured amount of times, the message can be escalated to another Messaging Group. Messaging escalation is intended to ensure that staff will respond to an emergency call. If a message is sent to a Messaging Group and the relevant staff does not respond within a specified period, the call will escalate to another Messaging Group. It is recommended that the final group be comprised of all the messaging media in the building. The final group will continue to be messaged until the call is answered. The system does not roll over to the first group again. NOTE: White alarms for messaging do not escalate or retry. A white alarm message is only sent once. 26 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide Messaging Services Walkie-Talkie System The Walkie-Talkie system alerts staff members when specific events occur. Staff members equipped with a walkie-
talkie will receive an audible message for triggered events. Triggering events for the walkie-talkie are configured in the Configuration menu. The options are: Assistance Required, Check Transmitter, Cut Band Alarm, and Door Alarm. If your system includes the Advanced 3-Way Care system, additional options include Fall, Wet and Turn. The Walkie-Talkie system allows you to set the number of seconds between the start of an alarm and when the alarm is repeated. This is referred to as a repeat interval. The repeat interval count down starts as soon as the walkie-talkie alarm sounds. Therefore, depending on the number of seconds selected for a repeat interval, an alarm may repeat only seconds after the first alarm stops.

In addition, for specific information about securing and cleaning alarming band transmitters, see the appropriate Transmitter User Guide. Commonly Used Terms Throughout this guide terms are used to describe functions that may be enabled/disabled in the software or actions necessary for using the software. Following are commonly used terms and their definitions. Login and Passwords Some functions of your system may be password protected. This simply means that a staff member must enter a login and password or use his or her proximity card or magnetic/barcode card before performing a task. When you select a function that requires a password, the Login and Password dialog box appears. To access a password protected function:
1. Enter your login name in the Login box. 2. Enter your password in the Password box. 3. Press Enter or click OK. 4. If enabled, use your proximity card or magnetic/barcode card approved for use with the software. NOTE: The Login, Password and Swipe Card information is case sensitive. If a User not Authorized to perform this function error message occurs, try tuning off the Caps Lock on your keyboard. Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide 43 Chapter 3: Using the Software Units Upon admission, a patient or asset must be assigned to a Unit. A Unit represents a protected area in your facility that is monitored as a unit, such as the Nursery or Intensive Care. All devices in the area are assigned to the unit, and are identified on a map or floor plan specific to the unit. Some units may have more than one patient or asset occupying the same room. It is important when admitting a patient or asset to a double-occupancy room that you specify which bed or side of the room the patient or asset is assigned, for example room 101-A or room 101-B. If an alarm occurs, the relevant alarm information, such as the patients or assets name, the type of event, and the location of the event, is displayed at any Client computer that has been configured to monitor the unit. Some System Properties, such as the time allowed for the discharge and adjust function, are defined at the unit level. Device Supervision The Supervision feature applies to many devices such as the alarming band transmitters, Pendants, Fall Monitoring and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the systems way of ensuring that devices are communicating properly and within range of the receivers. When the Supervised transmitter function is enabled, a Check Transmitter alarm will be placed in the Event List if the system does not receive a signal from the device within a specified time interval. The supervision interval is configured in the Configuration-Units menu. The Supervision function defaults ON. Global Lockdown A Global Lockdown is when all of the doors are automatically locked during a Cut Band alarm. If a door is already open at the time a Cut Band alarm occurs or if a door is opened at any time while the system is in Global Lockdown:
an alarm sounds at the Exit Alarm Controller a message is displayed on the Client computer(s) in the unit configured to monitor the door and on all Quick Look Displays for that unit the location of the Exit Alarm is indicated by a flashing icon on the map on the Client computer(s) If your facility has enabled the Lockdown on Cut Band Alarms feature, a Cut Band Alarm triggers a Global Lockdown. You can configure the Global Lockdown feature to lock doors at All exits or By transmitter units. However if a Cut Band alarm is triggered during an Escort or a Transfer, the system automatically locks All exits and posts the alarms on all Client computer(s). This is because the transmitter in Escort or Transfer may be outside of its protected unit. NOTE: When a transmitter is configured as a low priority asset transmitter, a Cut Band Alarm will not trigger a Global Lockdown. High Priority configured asset transmitters will trigger a Global Lockdown. 44 Series 6.0 Software (0510-1065-A) - User Guide Common Operations Common Operations The top toolbar provides shortcuts to commonly used tasks such as admitting, discharging, escorting, and transferring a patient or asset.
