The first order of business will be to set the Maximum Detection Distance The TF2000 can be set to detect a person at a distance of up to 42 It is important to understand that the Beam Angle of the TF2000 is approximately 60 Degrees and the detectable distance is as specified in the configuration program Move around in your normal workspace and observe the LED The LED should remain GREEN while you are in your normal computer work zone and should go RED when you leave this zone Enter and exit your normal work zone and observe that the LED is changing from GREEN to RED when leaving the zone and from RED to GREEN when re entering the zone Lower the Maximum Detection Distance to the lowest value that allows you to be detected in your work zone You can change the Maximum Detection Distance by typing the new value in the field and clicking the Apply button Repeat the above LED test until proper operation is observed Please note that the LED will always transition through YELLOW for at least 1 second The Walk To and Walk Away delay settings will lengthen the YELLOW transition between the RED and GREEN state The TF2000 can actually be set to 60 however 42 is the recommended maximum distance for best operation Figure 3 Approximate 60 Beam Pattern of TF2000 Important Note The TF2000 detects people AND objects that are in this zone Large objects such as high backed chairs can be viewed
3. key You can test these settings by observing the LED When the LED is in a Yellow state the TF2000 is in the delay mode Adjust the settings to delays that work best for your work habits LED Indicator Configuration The check boxes at the bottom of the Sonar window allow you to control the state of any of the LEDs This is useful if you wish to turn off LEDs A common use would be to turn off the GREEN state in the event you find this light annoying while you are working at the computer Important Note When using the TF2000 in a kiosk or standing workstation that have many users changing logins it is best to use the absolute shortest delay possible i e zero This will assure that the computer will lock prior to the next user walking into the detectable distance Configuration Walk Away Walk To As stated the primary function of the TF2000 is to detect two events when you walk away from the computer and when you return The most important of these events occur when you when you leave your computer On this event the TF2000 can send to the computer a series of keystrokes that are configured in the device These keystrokes can be up to 4 characters with modifiers ALT CTL Shift Click on the Walk Away tab and you will see the screen below TF2000 v 1 79 DevicelD 2 00 Walk Away Walk To Sonar Misc Key Set 1 Key Set 2 Key Set 3 Key Set 4 RShft Lsht J RShft LShft AShft LSht AShft V LETL T
4. by the TF2000 as a person It is important to understand this behavior and it may be necessary to reduce the Maximum Detectable Distance and or raise the angle of the TF2000 to a slightly higher bias If you are using the TF2000 in an office setting as opposed to a kiosk or standing workstation setting be sure not to allow your chair to swing into the view of the TF2000 It is also important not to set large objects on your desk that may be viewed by the device Once you have used the TF2000 for a short period of time you will quickly learn the view zone It is also important to understand that the TF2000 will only reliably detect objects that are outside the minimum detectable distance of 14 If users are approaching the computer and are often within this minimum distance you may need to move the TF2000 father away from the users for best performance Configuration In Range Detection Delay Out of Range Detection Delay The TF2000 has programmable delays that suppress the immediate sending of the locking sequence This is especially useful when using the TF2000 in a private office setting where you may leave the work zone briefly and not want the system to lock The maximum settable delay is 255 seconds After this delay time has elapsed the programmable key sequences are invoked The TF2000 has separate delay to handle both the In Range and Out of Range events Adjust the delay by specifying the value and clicking the Apply

6. on your purchase of the TF2000 Ultrasonic Proximity Detector for locking your computer Now when you walk away from your system you will benefit from a hands free means of locking your computer The concept of the TF2000 is easy to understand Your computer simply thinks that the TF2000 is a USB keyboard that is attached to your system The TF2000 sends programmable keystrokes to lock your computer when you leave the workspace It s that simple No more unattended and unlocked computers The TF2000 will lock the system for you and you can now do this hands free The primary purpose of the TF2000 is to detect two events The most important is the detection of you leaving the defined work zone of your computer When the TF2000 detects that you have left the work zone the unit sends the keystrokes necessary to lock your system For example when Windows 2000 users leave their workstations they would normally hit the CTL ALT DEL Enter key sequence to lock their systems With the TF2000 attached the CTL ALT DEL Enter keystrokes are automatically sent for the user The second event is when you return to your work zone The TF2000 can now detect this event and send some preparatory keystrokes for you For example on return to their computer Windows 2000 users must hit the CTL ALT DEL key sequence to prepare the computer for the password entry Again with the TF2000 attached it will now send those keystrokes for you The device is simple
7. to install and fun to use so let s get started Installation Before installing the TF2000 let s first review the system requirements The TF2000 requires the following minimum system configuration Minimum System Requirements Windows 98se ME 2000 or XP Open USB port CDROM drive 200K free disk space Note If you do not have an available USB port as specified in the TF2000 requirements a USB hub will be needed Mounting the TF2000 If your system meets these requirements then mounting the TF2000 in your workspace is the next step ComputerProx recommends that the best location for TF2000 is on the bezel of your monitor at the top center It is best to start by positioning the TF2000 in the center of the monitor with the sensor pointing forward and unit level See Figure 1 Figure 1 Best location of the TF2000 on a monitor Use the provided Glue Dots to affix the TF2000 to the monitor as shown The Glue Dots provides a semi permanent bond between the TF2000 and the monitor The provided foam tape can be used after you have configured and used the system for a period of time for a more permanent bond Note that it is best to start with the TF2000 pointed in a level position On some monitors this may require you to adjust your monitor on its pedestal to a more downward angle If the TF2000 is at an excessive upward or downward angle when placed on your monitor top it may be necessary to purchase the optional
