Security Escort
There are three methods that can be used to verify the location accuracy of an installed
system, using a standard subscriber or maintenance SE transmitter. Repeat the chosen
process throughout all protected areas. Ask the customer for the areas where they have
special concerns and devote extra attention to those areas, since the customer is likely to be
more critical in those areas.
Remember the intent of the Security Escort system is to dispatch a responding individual to
an area that will not add additional delay to their response to that duress call. Therefore, the
computed location should be considered to be in error only when it would add unacceptable
additional time to the alarm response.
While testing, it is helpful to see which SE receivers are involved in the alarm response and
the relative reception level they reported. To display the SE receivers, select menu Utilities >
Security Preferences. Make sure the No receiver icons checkbox is not checked and click the
[Save] button. Select menu Setup > System Preferences. If Show test levels and Show
maintenance levels checkboxes are checked, the relative reception level is shown in the SE
receiver icons; otherwise, the floor number will be shown.
When testing with any of the following methods, the SE transmitter must be used exactly as it
would be used in normal operation. An SE transmitter designed to be belt mounted or used in
a holster must be in its normal mounting attitude and be worn on the belt of the individual
originating the test transmissions. Handheld SE transmitters must be held in the hand about
waist high, never held above the head.

This method requires two people with radio contact between them. One person operates
the computer running the Security Escort software, and the other takes the subscriber SE
transmitter to the area to be tested.
Press the alarm on the SE transmitter and remain at the spot where you transmitted.
The computer operator acknowledges the alarm and accurately describes the computed
location over the radio. The individual with the SE transmitter should confirm the
reported location or describe over the radio the actual location. Either individual must
record all discrepancies, including the actual and computed locations.
We recommend using a map or floor plan and drawing an arrow from the actual alarm
location to the reported location. It is also helpful if all successful alarm locations are
marked with a P (passed), then the alarm can be reset from the computer screen.
For areas where there are alarm location problems, try facing in different directions in the
same spot. Also generate additional alarms from different spots to fully understand the
extent of the problem. You should generate alarms in areas adjacent to the area with the
problem to see if they are also affected.
The Security Escort software retains the last 50 maintenance alarm locations. Make sure
you are the only one using a maintenance SE transmitter on site, buddy check is off, and
that you limit yourself to a maximum of 50 maintenance alarms per sequence.
Synchronize the time on your watch to the computer. Carry a detailed map or floor plan
of the area to be tested that you can write on.
Take the maintenance SE transmitter to the area to be tested. Press the alarm on the SE
transmitter and accurately mark the spot on the map where you transmitted with a
"1" (for the first transmission). Also record the time of the first transmission only.
