Chapter 5: PATROL SUITE RF Monitoring
This chapter presents procedures for accessing PHMU Menu Options used during Monitoring. For
questions concerning monitoring or troubleshooting, please call the G4S Justice Services Monitoring
Center at 1(800) 589 6003.
Range Menu
This menu presents the option for testing and setting range of the PATROL SUITE RF equipment.
Range Testing
Range Testing should be performed directly after initial installation of the PATROL SUITE RF equipment
to verify that the RF signal from the PID can be properly received by the PHMU in all locations of the
participant’s residence. During this testing, the PHMU location may be changed to determine the ideal
location to assure continuous receipt of the RF signal.
1. Select RNG from the Setup Menu. The current
range setting displays with options to perform
range test and change the range setting.
2. Select TEST from the Range Menu. .
3. The LCD Screen will display the serial number
being range tested and a scale that ranges from
(-) to (+). The bars that fluctuate on the scale
offer a real time visual of the receipt of RF
signals. The PID will blink its LED approximately
every ten seconds during the range test.
One Blink: Indicates immediate signal reception
Two Blinks: Indicates intermittent signal reception
Three Blinks: Indicates poor signal reception
Four Blinks: Indicates NO signal reception
4. The PHMU Menu Key may now be turned to the vertical position and removed from the back of
the PHMU. This leaves the PHMU and Menu Key secure if the participant must be escorted
throughout the residence by the Officer.
5. The participant should walk around the interior of the residence or monitoring location to confirm
that the PHMU is in the optimal location.
a. Three complete transmissions are recommended in different areas of each room to
confirm that the participant will be in range. Please review the following sample
residential floor plan with a suggested location for the PHMU and suggested locations to
conduct Range Testing.
