LS2400 System
IMPORTANT:
No Security System can replace human vigilance. Creating a safe environment requires the
combined efforts of nursing, physicians, security, and patients. Global policies, procedures,
and processes on patient care should be discussed and disseminated. Education,
communication, and coordination are key. No level of security can replace an informed and
knowledgeable staff. Any electronic or physical security system should be considered as a
supplemental deterrent, but by no means an end-all.

The LS2400 System
Alarms
How Accutech Systems Work
Addressing Alarms
Escorting
The function of the LS2400 System is to alert
facility personnel of the possible egress of a
monitored resident.
The LS2400 can be utilized for special care
residents suffering from wandering malady or
tendencies of straying into unauthorized areas or
leaving a facility, pediatric patients, asset
security, and/or infant security. The system is
designed so that each monitored zone is a stand-
alone system.
When a Tag enters a monitored zone, the system
can automatically:
lock doors
deactivate elevators
sound alarms
flash strobe lights
trigger visual displays
Virtually any hallway, doorway, stairwell, or
elevator can be made to sense a Tag and then
trigger audial and/or visual alarms to prompt a
staff response.
By adding options, most egress opportunities
can be eliminated without restricting staff,
visitors, and non-monitored residents movement.
Additional options that further enhance your
ability to prevent unescorted egress include:
Magnetic Lock(s)
Elevator Deactivation Unit(s)
Central Alarm
Loiter Alarm
Door Ajar alarm
Staff Alert Panels (SAPs)
Graphic Displays Panels (GDPs)

Alarms
Egress
Door Ajar (Optional)
Loiter (Optional)
Supervisor
Tamper
NOTE: In this manual, Egress alarms are
referred to as “Alarms.” Other alarm types are
referred to by name (i.e., Door Ajar, Loiter,
Supervisor, Band Alarm).
Egress
An alarm (i.e., an Egress alarm) occurs
whenever a Tag enters a monitored zone and the
door is opened or a PIR is tripped.
Door Ajar (Optional)
A Door Ajar alarm occurs when a door is open
for longer than the preset time (adjustable).
Loiter (Optional)
A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in a
monitored zone for longer than the preset time
(adjustable).
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
The LS2400 System cover panel has been
tampered, removed, or obstructed.
How Accutech Systems Work
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 as well as alarm definitions.
Double conditioning
At most zones, two conditions are required to
generate an alarm. For example, at a door zone,
a Tag must be detected in the zone and the door
opened or, in hallway zones, a Tag must be
detected in the zone and PIR detection to
generate an alarm. Double conditioning (set
during installation) helps prevent nuisance
alarms.
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, locking the door.
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 (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 LS2400 System will go into
alarm.
- DRAFT -

1-3 The LS2400 System User Manual
Loiter
An optional Loiter function is available to alert
staff personnel if a Tag is lingering in a
monitored zone. The time setting is adjustable
(10-110 seconds) and is factory set for
approximately 15 seconds.
Door Ajar
An optional Door Ajar function is also available
to alert staff personnel if the door in a monitored
zone has been held open for too long. The time
range can be set for immediate or from 10 to 110
seconds and is factory set for approximately 15
seconds.
Elevator zones
Elevator Deactivation Circuitry restricts the
wearer of a Tag from using an 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, the doors will remained closed.
When a Tag is in the zone (or approaches the
zone) and the elevator doors are open, the doors
will remain open and an alarm will sound.
If the elevator car is en route to the floor when a
Tag approaches the zone, the elevator will arrive
on the floor, the door(s) will open, and the
system will alarm.
Hallway zones
Egress
If a Tag enters a monitored hallway zone, the
system will detect the Tag and the PIR will
detect motion. The system can then sound
alarms, trigger visual displays and, in special
circumstances, lock nearby doors.
Addressing Alarms
Addressing Egress alarms
Addressing Door Ajar alarms
Addressing Loiter alarms

NOTE:
Whenever an alarm occurs, always go to the
alarm location to address the alarm.
Addressing Egress alarms
An Egress alarm occurs whenever a Tag enters a
monitored zone and the door is opened or a PIR
is tripped.
When an Egress alarm occurs:
1. Go to the alarm location and take
appropriate action.
2. After taking appropriate action, you may
clear the alarm by entering a valid code
into the zone Keypad and, if necessary,
clear the alarm on the PC.
- DRAFT -

Addressing Door Ajar alarms
A Door Ajar alarm occurs when a door is open
for longer than the preset allotted time.
When a Door Ajar alarm occurs:
1. Go to the alarm location and check to
see if the door is propped open or not
completely closed.
2. Close the door completely.
3. The system may automatically reset or,
if necessary, enter a valid code into the
zone Keypad and/or clear the alarm on
the PC.
Addressing Loiter alarms
A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in a
monitored zone for longer than the preset
allotted time.
When a Loiter alarm occurs:
1. Go to the alarm location and check the
following:
a. If a person is loitering in that
zone’s Tx Activation Field?
b. Is a Tag from an adjacent room
being activated by this zone? If
so, call your service technician
for help in addressing this issue.
c. Is there is a misplaced Tag in
the zone?
2. After removing the cause, the system
may automatically reset or, if necessary,
enter a valid code into the Keypad
and/or clear the alarm on the PC.
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.
When a Supervisor alarm occurs:
1. Go to the alarm location and look for
visible damage to the Accutech
equipment.
2. Check for and remove any objects near
the zone equipment that may be causing
interference (metal carts, monitors or
other medical equipment as well as
personnel using wireless communication
devices).
3. If you locate and correct the cause, the
Supervisor alarm will cease. If
necessary, clear the alarm on the PC.
4. If not, call your service technician for
further assistance.
NOTE: Receiver-related supervise
events can be reset by the Keypad for
the duration of the supervise interval.
This will silence the alarm for up to 16
hours.
Addressing Tamper alarms
A Loiter alarm occurs when the LS2400 cover
panel has been tampered, removed, or
obstructed. Inspect the case for proper
installation.

DISCLAIMER:
The following instructions are intended as a
guidance document only. Each facility should
review these recommendations and modify as
necessary to meet their own unique security
requirements.
NOTICE:
While escorting Tags, be aware 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 then
immediately following behind through the zone.
To prevent tailgating, be aware of all traffic near
a monitored zone and once you are through the
monitored zone wait until the escort time has
timed-out before proceeding.
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
designated 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.
NOTE: For slower moving residents,
you may have to invoke the Escort
function again. However, if this is the
case, an alarm may sound. Therefore,
take into consideration the Escort time
duration at that zone. If the door handles
slow moving residents often, consider
extending the Escort time or using a
wheelchair to escort residents.
3. To prevent tailgating, once you are
through the zone wait until the escort
time has timed-out before proceeding
(the green LED will extinguish).

LS2400 System Tags
Tag barcodes
Visual Pulse LED
Attaching Tags
Tag and Band Maintenance
LS2400 System Tags (Figure 2.1 and 2.2) are
small wristwatch-sized devices worn by a
resident or attached to an asset. When a
resident or patient enters the Tx Activation
Field of the LS2400T and the LS2400T
processes this information for appropriate
control action or response (such as sounding
alarms, locking doors, and/or deactivating
elevators).
Tags also contain a visual pulse LED to
indicate when they are active. Tags are
activated/deactivated with an S-TAD unit.
The LS2400 System Tag band is made of
nylon-reinforced vinyl with nylon mesh. The
band is designed to resist tearing caused by
pulling or chewing on the band. However, if
the band becomes frayed or torn it will need
to be replaced. In long-term applications, the
band should be replaced periodically for
cleanliness.

Attaching LT/SB Tags
Note:
LT (Long Term) Tags are used for resident care.
SB (Slotted Back) Tags are used on small infants and assets.
All Tag bands are for one-time use only. For cleanliness and
sanitary reasons, Accutech recommends replacing applied
bands on a semi-monthly basis with a maximum of one
month between changes.
1. For LT Tags, with the snaps pointing in the
same direction as the Accutech logo, slide the
plastic band through the Slot.
(see Figure 2.4)
2. Adjust the band length to the nearest
accommodating hole for a comfortable fit
around the patient’s extremity.
Note: Once the band is secured it cannot be
adjusted.
3. Put the male part of the Snap through the
selected hole (see Figure 2.5).
4. Fold over the female part of the Snap and
secure to the male part by squeezing until they
snap together.
5. Using scissors, carefully trim any excess band
material
6. Using an S-TAD, activate the Tag.
7. Follow the same procedure for SB Tags.

Tag and Band Maintenance
Testing Tags
Accutech Tags operate by internal battery.
Over the course of normal operation, Tags
eventually lose battery power and the Tags
will need to be replaced. The Tag battery is
not replaceable. For maximum protection of
residents or assets, Accutech recommends
that Tags be tested on a weekly basis. There
are many ways that you can test Tags:
Enter a monitored zone
(Software will report.)
With a S-TAD
The Keypad’s Auxiliary LED
(Yellow) will light when a Tag is
detected (Optional; additional wire
required).
Check Visual Pulse LED if present
Cleaning Tags
All Tags are reusable but they must be
cleaned and sanitized between applications.
In long-term applications, periodically
replace the bands and clean the Tags. There
are a few methods that can be used to clean
and sanitize Tags:
HOWEVER, DO NOT:
DO NOT submerge Tags in water
DO NOT soak Tags in water
DO NOT submerge Tags in cleaning
solutions
DO NOT soak Tags in cleaning
solutions
DO NOT use solvents
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or cloths
DO NOT put Tags in an AutoClave
DO NOT put Tags in a dishwasher
DO NOT steam clean Tags
DO NOT put Tags in a washing
machine or dryer
Acceptable Tag Cleaning Methods:
Wipe down with 3% hydrogen
peroxide with water solution then
rinse with a water-dampened cloth
towel and wipe dry. (wipe only,
DO NOT soak, submerge or place
under running water)
Wipe down with isopropyl alcohol
wipes then rinse with a
water-dampened cloth towel and
wipe dry. (wipe only, DO NOT
soak, submerge or place under
running water)
Cleaning Bands
All Tag bands are for one-time use only. For
cleanliness and sanitary reasons, Accutech
recommends replacing applied bands on a
semi-monthly basis with a maximum of one
month between changes.
Storing Tags
To preserve battery life, Tags must be
turned off with an S-TAD during storage or
periods of non-use. In addition, Tags should
be stored away from sources of electrical
noise (see example list below) and stored in a
clean plastic container with lid.
Do not store Tags within 3 feet of any of the
following sources of electrical noise:
Computer monitors
Unshielded computer cables
Television sets
Medical Monitoring Equipment
X-ray and other imaging equipment
Fluorescent Lighting
Storing Bands
Extra Tag bands should be stored in clean
and dry environment.
