Important Notices
Do not store LC1400 sensor(s) within 3
feet of any of the sources of electrical
noise listed below.
These sources can produce interference which
can induce sensor activation. This activation
can lead to undesirable responses from the
system.
Common sources of interference include:
• Television sets
• Computer monitors
• Medical monitoring equipment
• Electric motors
• Electrical distribution panels and
transformers
• Fluorescent lighting
• Some electronic washers and dryers
• X-ray and other imaging equipment
• Unshielded computer cables
This system must be connected to
a primary power source that has a
backup power/battery system capable of
providing a minimum of 4hrs of normal
operation.
No security system can replace human
vigilance.
Creating a safe environment requires the
combined efforts of personnel, physicians,
security, and patients. Global policies,
procedures, and processes on patient care
must be discussed with and circulated among
staff. Staff education, communication, and
coordination are crucial. No level of security
can replace an informed and knowledgeable
staff. Any electronic or physical security
system is only a supplemental deterrent that
requires human oversight to be effective.
Keep all electronics, including
televisions, computers, and x-ray
equipment, at least 10 feet away from
the LC1400T.
This includes equipment located on the other
side of walls and doors.
Picture the area around the monitored zone
as a big globe with the receive antenna as the
center. Keep all sources of interference outside
this globe.

Overview
The LC1400 System is designed to be a turnkey
patient-egress monitoring system. The function
of the system is to alert facility personnel of
the possible egress of a monitored resident.
The system can be utilized for special care
residents suffering from maladies that may
cause them to stray into unauthorized areas or
leave a facility.
The LC1400 system consists of:
• LC1400T Controller (Part #662066)
• LCT-TX (Part #672022)
• Keypad
(Part # 650209)
• Magnetic Switch (door applications)
(Part #650514)
• Passive Infrared Reader (hallway and
elevator applications)
(Part #300302)
• LC1400 System Tags (LT/SB/WW)
(Part #77L018, 77L018-W, 77L016, &
#77L017)
Additional options for the LC1400 unit:
• External Sounders
(Part #700216)
• Magnetic Locks
(Part #700218 or 700228)
• Elevator Deactivation
(Part #700027)
• Automatic Door Deactivation
(Part #700033)
• Timer (Perimeter door function)
(Part #700000)
• Staff Alert Panel
(Part #700080)
• Graphic Display Panel
(Part #700061 or #700062)
• Fire Panel Interface
(Part #700013)
The LC1400 System
Because a facility may have multiple
LC1400T controllers within an LC1400
system, each individual monitored zone with
an LC1400T will be referred to as an LC1400
zone from this point forward.
Note

1-3Chapter 1: The LC1400 System
How the System Works
The LC1400 system uses a simple but effective
concept. Monitored residents wear a small,
unobtrusive system tag, and LC1400 units are
installed at points of egress.
When a tag enters a monitored area, the
system can automatically:
• Sound alarms
• Lock doors
• Deactivate elevators
• Flash lights
• Trigger visual displays (e.g., Staff Alert
Panels or Graphic Display Panels)
Because LC1400 units only react to tags, the
system does not restrict the movement of
other residents, staff, or visitors.
The LC1400 unit’s range of coverage is
determined by the size of the Tx activation
field. An LC1400 unit’s Tx activation field
can be expanded or reduced to accommodate
the environmental conditions of virtually any
doorway, hallway, or elevator you wish to
monitor.
An LCT-TX is added to provide an additional
exciter field in a different orientation than the
LC1400T to help activate a tag regardless of
the orientation as it enters the TX field. Used
in hallways, double doors, double or triple
elevators.
Features
The LC1400 system comes with the following
features:
• Door Alarm
• Supervisor
• Tag detect
• Perimeter Door Function
• Stagger Tuning
• Tamper Switch

Chapter 1: The LC1400 System1-4
Zone Conditioning
• Single Conditioning
• Double Conditioning—Door and Hallway
• Double Conditioning—Door with Lock(s)
• Double Conditioning—Elevator
• Double Conditioning—Automatic Door
Single Conditioning
Single conditioning zones react to tags in the
same way as all monitored zone types (e.g.,
door, hallway, elevator, automatic door).
With single conditioning, if an active tag enters
a monitored zone, the system will detect the
tag and generate a Door alarm. To clear this
alarm, remove the tag from the zone and enter
a valid code into the zone's keypad.
Double Conditioning – Door and Hallway
Double conditioning zones require two events
to occur before an alarm is generated.
In door zones: (1) a tag must be detected in
the zone, and (2) the door must be opened or
passive infrared (PIR) detection must occur.
In hallway zones: (1) a tag must be detected
in the zone and (2) passive infrared (PIR)
detection must occur.
To clear this alarm, remove the tag from the
zone and enter a valid code into the zone's
keypad.
Double Conditioning – Door with Lock(s)
Although most locks can be interfaced with
an LC1400 zone, the following instructions
are only applicable to an Accutech-supplied
3101 magnetic lock.
Important
If an active tag enters a monitored door zone,
the system will detect the tag. The magnetic
lock will then energize and lock the door
(provided the door is closed, has a magnetic
lock(s), and the lock is unobstructed). The lock
will remain locked for as long as the tag is in
the monitored zone. When the tag leaves the
monitored zone, the door will unlock after an
adjustable period of time.
Accutech’s 3101 magnetic locks also
incorporate delayed egress circuitry that
complies with N.F.P.A. 101 Life Safety Codes
5-2.1.6.1. If engaged, the lock will release
within 15 seconds (after a 1-3 second nuisance
delay) whenever a maintained force (equal
to or greater than a force set below 15lbs, as
required by NFPA) is applied to the door. An
audible tone signals both the countdown and
the release. When the lock releases, the red
LED will turn solid green and the lock alarm
will sound continuously; however, if the door
is not opened and the tag leaves the zone, the
audible tone will cease and the lock will return
to normal operation.
During a fire alarm event, or when power is
lost, all locks are disengaged and cannot be
reengaged until the fire alarm is cleared.
Warning

1-5Chapter 1: The LC1400 System
Double Conditioning - Elevator
The use of elevator deactivation with the
LC1400 zone will require coordination and
integration with the elevator company.
Important
Elevator deactivation circuitry restricts the
wearer of a tag from using an elevator. If a
tag enters a monitored elevator zone, the
elevator’s call button on that floor will be
deactivated. Call buttons on other floors are
unaffected, and no one is restricted from
coming to the floor.
If the elevator car is en route to the floor when
a tag enters the elevator zone, the elevator will
arrive on the floor, the door(s) will open, the
elevator controls will stop functioning, and the
system will alarm.
If the elevator doors are open and a tag is
within the elevator zone or enters the zone, the
doors will remain open, the elevator controls
will stop functioning, and an alarm will sound.
Double Conditioning - Automatic Door
If an active tag enters a monitored automatic
door zone, the system will detect the tag and
the automatic door operation (motion detector
and/or push paddle) will be disabled.
If the door is manually opened while the tag is
in the zone, an Egress alarm will be generated.
When the tag leaves the zone, the door will
return to normal operation after an adjustable
period of time
To clear this alarm, remove the tag from the
zone, close the door, and enter a valid code
into the zone keypad.
Perimeter Door Application
If desired, the LC1400 zone can be used as a
perimeter door zone. When in this mode, the
door will alarm when it is opened.
If the door has magnetic locks, the door would
remain locked (lock energized) at all times and
would require a valid code entered into the
keypad or the activating of a PBO (Push Button
Override) to open the door. Delayed egress
circuitry will function normally if 3101 Series
magnetic locks are used.
Internal vs. External Alarms
The LC1400T includes an internal alarm
sounder (a piezo) and the capability of
triggering external sounders.
An external sounder can be positioned away
from the zone at a remote location, such as a
hallway intersection or nurse station.
The internal piezo and an external sounder can
operate simultaneously and will be silenced by
a keypad reset.
A staff alert panel (SAP) or graphic display
panel (GDP) is another option for remote alarm
notification.

Chapter 1: The LC1400 System1-6
Alarm Types
• Door Alarm
• Supervisor Alarm
• Tamper Alarm
Egress
A Door Alarm can be set to occur when a tag
enters a monitored zone (single conditioning)
or when a tag enters a monitored zone and
a door is opened or a PIR is tripped (double
conditioning).
Supervisor
A Supervisor alarm occurs when the
performance of the system has been altered
due to tampering or inadvertent acts—such as
cut wires, antenna damage, or interference.
Tamper
A Tamper alarm occurs when the tamper
detect infrared sensor is triggered by the
removal of the LC1400T's cover.
Zone Alarm Activation
Conditions
• Double-conditioning
• Door zones
• Elevator zones
• Hallway zones
This section explains how Accutech systems
react to a tag entering a monitored door,
elevator, or hallway zone. It also explains
alarm definitions.
Double Conditioning
Double conditioning (set during installation)
helps prevent nuisance alarms. Two conditions
are required to generate an alarm at these
zones.
In door zones: (1) a tag must be detected in the
zone and (2) the door must be opened.
In hallway zones: (1) a tag must be detected in
the zone and (2) PIR detection must occur.
Door Zones
When a tag enters a monitored door zone, the
system will detect the tag. At that moment
(provided the door is closed, has a magnetic
lock[s], and the lock is unobstructed), the
magnetic lock will energize and lock the door.
The door will remain locked for as long as
the tag is within the monitored zone. When
the tag leaves the monitored zone, the door
will unlock after an adjustable period of time
(unless it is set to latch when an alarm occurs).
Egress
If a tag enters a monitored door zone, with
or without a magnetic lock(s), and the door is
already open, (or is opened while the tag is in
the zone) the LC1400 zone will generate an
alarm.

1-7Chapter 1: The LC1400 System
Elevator Zones
Elevator deactivation circuitry deactivates
an elevator's controls so the wearer of a tag
cannot use that elevator.
Egress
If a tag enters a monitored elevator zone,
the elevator’s call button on that floor will
be deactivated (call buttons on other floors
are unaffected and no one is restricted from
coming to the floor).
When a tag is in the zone and the elevator
doors are closed, those doors will remained
closed.
When a tag is within or approaches the zone
while the elevator doors are open, the doors
will remain open, the elevator's controls will be
deactivated, and the system will alarm.
If the elevator car is en route to the floor when
a tag enters the elevator zone, the elevator will
arrive on the floor, the door(s) will open, the
elevator's controls will be deactivated, and the
system will alarm.
Hallway Zones
Egress
If a tag enters a monitored hallway zone, the
system will detect the tag and the PIRs will
detect motion. The system can then sound
alarms, trigger visual displays, and lock nearby
doors.
Addressing Alarms
Disclaimer: The following instructions are
intended only as recommendations. Each
facility should review these recommendations
and make changes as necessary to meet their
own unique security requirements.
When an alarm occurs, always go to the
alarm location to address the alarm.
Warning
Addressing Door Alarms
A Door Alarm occurs when a Tag enters a
monitored zone and the door is open(ed) or a
PIR (motion detector) is triggered.
When a Door Alarm occurs:
1) Go to the alarm location. Locate and
assure the safety of the patient.
2) Find the tag and patient identified as
alarming on the PC. Check the following:
• Is someone loitering in that exit zone, and
do they have a tag? If so, remove the person
with the tag from that zone.
• Is a tag from an adjacent room being
activated by this exit zone? If so, call your
service technician for an adjustment of the
zone’s activation field size.
3) After assuring the safety of the patient,
clear the alarm at the zone by entering a
valid code into the zone’s keypad, then
clear the alarm at the PC.

Chapter 1: The LC1400 System1-8
Addressing Supervisor Alarms
A Supervisor Alarm occurs when the
performance of the system has been altered
due to tampering or inadvertent acts such as
cut wires, antenna damage or interference, etc.
When a Supervisor Alarm occurs:
1) Go to the alarm location.
2) Look for visible damage to the Accutech
equipment.
3) Check for and remove any objects that
may be causing interference near the
zone equipment—including metal carts,
monitors or other medical equipment,
as well as personnel using wireless
communication devices.
4) If you locate and correct the cause,
the Supervisor alarm will cease; if not,
call your service technician for further
assistance.
Addressing Tamper Alarms
A Tamper alarm occurs when the LS2400T
cover is removed and its tamper detect
infrared sensor is triggered.
If the unit is in alarm (red light on Keypad) and
one or more of the following conditions has
been met, then it is possible that someone has
tampered with the cover of the unit by trying
to remove it.
• No monitored residents have been found to
be in the area while the door was opened
• The door is closed
• Power to the unit has been verified
• You have reset the zone with the Keypad
Contact maintenance or your local service
provider or call 1-800-356-2671 for 24-hour
telephone technical support.
Escorting
Disclaimer: The following instructions are
intended only as recommendations. Each
facility should review these recommendations
and make changes as necessary to meet their
own unique security requirements.
While escorting tags through zones, be wary
of tailgating. Tailgating is the practice of tags
lingering near a monitored zone (usually an
exit point) until an authorized escort passes
through the zone and the tag immediately
follows behind.
To prevent tailgating, be aware of all traffic
near a monitored zone. Once you are through
the monitored zone, wait until the escort timer
has timed out and the unit has reactivated.
To escort tags through a monitored zone, use
the following instructions:
1) Enter a valid code into the zone’s keypad.
This will invoke the keypad’s Escort
function. The keypad’s Escort function
will allow the tag to pass through the
monitored zone for the pre-set Escort
time. The duration of the Escort function
is adjustable from 0 to 98 seconds
(factory set at 15 seconds).
2) Escort the tag through the zone.
Important: For slower moving residents,
you may need to invoke the Escort
function again; however, if this is the
case, an alarm may sound. Take into
consideration the Escort time duration
at that zone. If the door is used to escort
slow-moving residents often, consider
extending the Escort time or using a
wheelchair to escort residents.
3) Once you are through the zone, prevent
tailgating by waiting until the Escort
time has timed-out (the green LED will
extinguish) before you proceed.
