The MSI Personal Alarm Receiver/Transmitter system is specifically designed to provide reliable yet economical protection for roving personnel. The 03RM ultrasonic receivers are installed throughout the protected facility. Personnel carry the battery-powered, ultrasonic Personal Alarm Transmitter. A person in trouble need only press the alarm button on the transmitter to activate the nearest receiver and summon help quickly.

2.1.2 Nuisance alarms are reduced to a minuscule level due to Magal-Senstar's unique method of using two ultrasonic frequencies in a preset modulation pattern. To produce an alarm, a signal must not only consist of the two frequencies but must also be coded in the proper pattern.
Page 12
2.2.3 When pressed, the alarm button latches to continuously transmit the alarm signal. The alarm transmission continues until the button is pressed again to reset. 2.2.4 The transmitted signal is ultrasonic (very high frequency sound), consisting of two different but precise signals in a preset modulation pattern.
Two normally closed magnetic reed switches are used to detect tampering. They are actuated by the self-adhesive magnets supplied with the 03RM and installed on the inside surface of the electrical box. As the 03RM is removed from its box the...

A dual-range sensitivity control varies the receiver range. 2.3.8 Input power to the 03RM must be 12 volts to 24 volts DC. Multiple 03RM units may be powered from one source as long as voltage and current requirements are considered. Power should not be shared with any other system.
Existing facilities with limited access may require the use of wall-mounted detectors and Wiremold-type wire protection. 3.1.2 One 03RM alarm receiver mounted in a typical ceiling location will provide coverage in a 50-foot radius from the receiver. Most normal-sized rooms can be covered with one receiver. 3.1.3 Large areas and hallways will require more detectors.
Page 16
If ceiling mounting is not possible, locate the 03RM/IV in a corner as high on the wall as possible with the camera mount angled toward the center of the room.
INSTALLATION General 4.1.1 Installation of the 03RM requires no special equipment. Standard wire installation tools can be used. Additional tools required are the standard hand tools used during any similar electronic system installation. 4.1.2 You may need a high quality digital volt-ohmmeter, preferably battery operated.

SYSTEM TESTING Final Tests 5.1.1 This test procedure is a guideline for system adjustment and final testing. This procedure and test forms should also be used to obtain final approval of the system installation by the customer. NOTE: Complete system testing is very important since personnel will be using the system to report alarms in potentially life threatening situations.

5.1.7 Test each receiver with the transmitter placed at 15-20 feet. Test again at about 40 feet or at an extreme of the room if less than 40 feet. 5.1.8 Refer to the adjustment sections if sensitivity adjustment is required. Retest after any adjustments.

Alarm Sensitivity Adjustment 5.2.1 The ultrasonic alarm sensitivity is adjusted at maximum by the factory for alarm reporting up to 50 feet and normally needs no field adjustment. Reducing sensitivity should only be considered if a transmitter sets off alarms in adjacent areas (e.g., through closed doorways, etc.).
Audio Volume Adjustment 5.3.1 The audio volume control potentiometer is located as shown in Figure 5.1. 5.3.2 Turn the pot clockwise to increase volume; counterclockwise to reduce volume.

MAINTENANCE Periodic Tests 6.1.1 Each personal transmitter should be tested each day before use. Using the Magal-Senstar transmitter test device is recommended. If not available, designate a zone for daily testing. 6.1.2 Once per quarter each receiver should be tested using a known good transmitter.
TROUBLESHOOTING Systematic Testing 7.1.1 Problems sometimes occur due to equipment failures. However, in most cases problems are caused by human or installation related items. Several of these items are: Shipping damage Disturbed wiring or connections Incorrect connections Physical damage 7.1.2 Always look for the simplest problem first.

APPENDIX YOUR MSI PAT (Personal Alarm Transmitter) Provides personal protection by notifying the central control facility of your location whenever emergency assistance is requested. When activated, your PAT sends a coded ultrasonic signal (high-frequency sound) to receivers which relay your emergency signal to the central control point.
Page 36
WEARING YOUR PAT/S A.3.1 WEAR your PAT/S either directly on your belt or in the optional leather holster. You may also clip your pat outside of the clothing. Do not cover your PAT/S with a heavy jacket, robe or lab coat. A.3.2 The belt clip can be placed on either the right side or the left side, allowing easy operation by either right or left handed...
Page 37
LOW BATTERY INDICATION A.4.1 Your PAT/S includes a LOW BATTERY alarm. When the battery has approximately 8 hours of operation remaining, a short audible beep will be heard every 45 seconds. The signal will repeat until a new battery is installed. A.4.2 NOTE: Use 9 Volt lithium battery for longer life.
Page 38
PAT/S will emit an audible warning tone every time the unit is tilted. A.6.3 After 4 seconds of warning tone, your PAT/S will activate, sending the alarm signal. Once activated, your PAT/S will continue to transmit until the man-down feature is turned off. A.6.4 TURN OFF the man-down feature by inserting a blunt object into to the small hole and pressing the switch into the down...
