Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off radio products when near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
The tracking unit operates in unison with up to three beacons that continuously send radio frequency (RF)
signals to the tracking unit. The tracking unit then detects the signal, ultimately determining if a client is
within the confinements of a residence. Because GPS acquisition consumes 75 percent of the tracking
unit’s battery, beacons help conserve the battery by allowing the tracker’s GPS acquisition to idle. Using
the beacon during curfew hours also eliminates the potential of GPS drift, ensuring the client is within the
required confines without relying solely on GPS.
NOTE: You can elect to use the tracking unit without a beacon as well.
In addition to motion and tamper detection, the beacon houses two replaceable D-Cell batteries. You can
place a beacon anywhere from an individual residency to a work environment. The ExacuTrack One
tracking unit picks up the beacon’s signal which contains the following information:
• Identification number
• Tamper status
• Battery condition
• Motion detection

Curfew Schedules
A curfew schedule is a specified time-period when the client must remain within range of a specific
beacon—whether the beacon is at home, work, school, etc. If a client comes within range of the beacon
during a scheduled curfew period, the tracking unit sends a Beacon Enter message to the central
monitoring computer and enters a “sleep mode” to save battery power. During this power saving mode,
the tracking unit suspends GPS acquisition and only reports to the central monitoring computer according
to the Max Callback Interval (see page 15). If the client leaves the beacon’s range following a curfew
period, the tracking unit sends a Beacon Leave message to the central monitoring computer and begins
searching for a GPS signal (see page 15).

Tamper Detection
The beacon includes an internal sensor that detects attempts to tamper with the case.
