Post Construction Setup; Testing The Location Accuracy Of An Installation - Bosch Security Escort SE2000 Series Training Manual

Security Escort
Note: The illuminated LEDs indicate to the service person standing near the device that the
receiver is actually the one currently in the setup mode. If the LEDs of the designated receiver
are not illuminated, there is probably an error in the switch settings of the receiver or an error
in the address in the Transponder Database. To help resolve such problems, the person at the
Central Console can command any device to illuminate its LED's and/or sound its horn.

Testing the location accuracy of an installation

Notice!
Before doing any of the following testing, it is important to verify that every receiver in the
system is functioning correctly using the procedure described in the Security Escort Hardware
Installation Manual. Additionally, every receiver must be programmed in the Transponder
Database with its actual physical location and floor level. It is also important that receivers
that are physically stacked directly above one another on floors of a building are also
located at the same X and Y coordinates in the database.
There are three methods that can be used to verify the location accuracy of an installed
system, using a standard subscriber transmitter or using a maintenance 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 receivers are involved in the alarm response and the
relative reception level they reported. To display the 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
receiver icons; otherwise, the floor number will be shown.
When testing with any of the following methods, the transmitter must be used exactly as it
would be used in normal operation. A 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 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
transmitter to the area to be tested.
Press the alarm on the 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 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.
