Series 5.0 Software (0510-1059-A_DRAFT) - User Guide 1
Preface
Overview
This guide provides detailed information about the Series 5.0 Software, using the software and using system
reports. It also provides an overview of the 9450 and 9600 QR Systems as well as an equipment overview.
The Series 5.0 Software supports the 9450 System and the 9600 QR 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 transmitter’s banding material is tampered with, or if certain
wires in the system are cut or damaged. 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.
The 9600 QR System immediately notifies staff when a patient requires attention, and provides details that are
essential in responding quickly and competently to the needs of a patient.The 9600 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 9600 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.
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 [phone] or [phone].
WARNING: The 9450 and 9600 QR Systems are designed and intended
to work in conjunction with a facility’s overall security program,
including reasonable operating policies and procedures. The systems, by
themselves, cannot prevent abductions or elopements.
