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 alerts staff 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.
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 transmitter’s 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).
Quick Look Display
The Quick Look Display shows information from the system at both a central and
remote location such as a secondary nurse’s station. When an 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.
NOTE: The Mother/Infant function requires applicable Alarm Band Receivers.
