Note The illuminated LED s indicate to the service person standing near the device that the Receiver is actually the one currently in the setup mode If the LED s of the designated receiver are not illuminated there is probably an error in the switch settings of the Receiver or an error in the address in the Transponder Database To help resolve such problems the person at the Central Console can command any device to illuminate its LED s and or sound its Horn Security Escort Training Page 73 of 142 Post Construction Setup Testing the location accuracy of an installation NOTE Before doing any of the testing below it is critically important to verify that every receiver in the system is functioning correctly using the procedure described in the Security Escort Installation and Setup manual Additionally every receiver must be programmed in the transponder database with its actual physical location and floor level It is also important that receivers that are physically stacked directly above one another on floors of a building are also located at the same X and Y coordinates in the database There are 3 methods that can be used to verify the location accuracy of an installed system using a standard subscriber transmitter or using a maintenance transmitter Repeat the chosen process throughout all protected areas Ask the customer for the areas where they have special concern and devote extra attention to those areas since the cust

Indoor receivers should be no more than 25 m 80 ft apart and outdoor receivers should be no more 90 m 300 ft apart Both of these recommendations work well in their respective areas However this means that where a building is adjacent to an outdoor area that the building will have a greater density of receivers and therefore will have a tendency to pull the computed location towards it To counteract the building tendency to pull the location consider the following special cases If the outdoor area adjacent to the building is wide open and the customer is not concerned about reduced location accuracy in this area then nothing special needs to be done Follow the normal indoor and outdoor recommendations The building is near the boundary of the protected area with or without a fence at the boundary The receivers in the building should be placed at the recommended 25 m 80 ft spacing The receivers at the boundary of the protected area near the building should be spaced about the same as those in the building approximating the same grid as used in the building The building is adjacent to a large protected outdoor area that extends for more than 90 m 300 ft from the building The receivers in the building should be placed at the recommended 25 m 80 ft spacing The receivers in the large protected outdoor area should be placed on the normal 90 m 300 ft grid except for the first row of receivers adjacent to the building This firs
