1.0 Overview
2.0 Specifications1.0 Overview
The SE88 is a personal transmitter designed to work
with the Security Escort system. When initiated, a signal
identifying you and your location is sent to the security
office. The SE88 can also be tested within sight of a
receiver or siren/strobe by the user.
The water resistant SE88 can be worn like a watch, as a
neck pendant, or it can be attached to a solid surface
with the optional mounting bracket.
The Security Escort system is not a
substitute for safe behavior. System users
should not take personal risks under the
misconception the system provides
protection that compensates for taking such
risks.

SE88 | User Guide | 3.0 Transmitting an Alarm
4.0 Testing the Transmitter
Test the transmitter weekly. To verify transmitter
operation:
1. You must be in sight of a Security Escort Siren/
Strobe or a Security Escort Receiver. Receivers are
located inside buildings usually within sight of an
exit door. They are mounted on walls in light beige,
rectangular enclosures bearing the Security Escort
logo. Siren/strobes are typically mounted on outside
building walls and on light poles. See Figure 2.
2. Press the Test button on your transmitter for about 1
sec. and release it after the LED blinks.
3. Look for a flashing strobe on a siren/strobe, or a
flashing green light on a receiver. A flashing green
light on a receiver or a flashing strobe on a siren/
strobe confirms that the entire system is working. If
you do not see the flashing light or flashing strobe,
the test was not successful.
Before the flashing light appears, there
might be a brief delay of 2 or 3 seconds.
If there is no response, try the test again. If there is no
response the second time, your transmitter may not be
working. Take the transmitter to the security office.

3.0 Transmitting an Alarm
Use your transmitter to send out an alarm only when
you are in danger, seriously injured, or feel threatened.
Your personal transmitter is an emergency
communication device and should not be
used for routine communications with
security officials.
Transmitting an alarm alerts a computer located in the
security office that you require emergency assistance. A
display on the computer screen indicates your identity
and approximate location. In addition, someone is
dispatched to assist you. Some facilities, flashing strobes,
and audible sirens are activated in the vicinity of your
location.
To transmit an alarm, simply press and hold the Alarm
button for 1 second. The LED indicator blinks to
indicate an alarm was sent.
Once the Alarm button is pressed, the transmitter
continues sending a signal every 10 sec. for 10 minutes.
You can stop the alarm transmission at any time by
pressing the Test button. See Figure 1.
It is not necessary to point the transmitter at
a receiver or be in sight of a receiver to
activate an alarm.

6.0 Installing/Charging Batteries
5.0 Battery Life
Depending on the model and assuming normal usage
(such as weekly testing), the battery life should be:
• Model SE88-10S = approximately 90 days
• Model SE88-30S = approximately 200 days
• Model SE88-60M = approximately 3 years
If the battery is weak, a special signal is sent to the
security office during any test, alarm, or supervisory
transmission. Tests do not produce a flashing light on a
receiver or siren/strobe when your transmitter has a
weak battery.

Figure 3).
2. Tap the case to loosen the circuit board so it falls
out from the unit (see Figure 4).
3. Insert the battery, placing the + (positive) side of the
battery away from the circuit board (see Figure 5).

8.0 Important Information
8.0 Important Information for all
Users of the Security Escort
System
8.1 Protected Areas
Check with the security department to verify the exact
areas of the facility that are protected by the system and
those that are not.
8.2 Use of Transmitter by Others
Your personal transmitter is assigned specifically to you
and is for your use only. Do not transfer, loan, or share it
with another individual. Before letting anyone handle
your transmitter, inform them that it is an emergency
communication device; and when activated, transmits
your identity. An officer is dispatched to the location of
the transmitter when activated.
8.3 Lost or Stolen Transmitters
If your transmitter is lost or stolen, report the incident
immediately to the security office so a replacement can
be issued to you and the original transmitter can be
deleted from the system.
8.4 Tips for Better Transmission
As with all radio equipment, the signal strength from
your Security Escort Personal Transmitter is reduced by
metal and wet surfaces, and to some extent by the human
body. To ensure proper transmission of an alarm, hold
the transmitter in one hand (away from your body and
other objects), press both buttons simultaneously, and
hold. When transmitting while in a vehicle, hold the
transmitter close to a window. Do not hesitate to
retransmit.
8.5 Battery Life
Assuming normal usage (such as weekly testing), the
battery lasts for approximately four years. If the battery
is weak, a special signal is sent to the security office
during a test. Tests do not produce a flashing light on a
receiver or siren/strobe when your transmitter has a
weak battery.
8.6 Exposure to Moisture
The transmitter is designed to be water resistant, and
chances are it will not be affected by moisture.
Nevertheless, test your transmitter a few times (several
hours apart) once exposed to moisture to verify it is
working properly.
8.7 Accidental Alarms
If you accidentally set off an alarm, stay where you
are! Wait for the security official who responds to your
alarm. Explain that you inadvertently set off your
transmitter and make it clear you are not experiencing
an emergency.
