Page 4: Installation Manual Overview
A Guard Tour feature permits the system to monitor the time between arrivals at locations on a predetermined route, so that significant variations from the route and times of transit can create alarms. Actall offers two PMT versions: the PALS 9000 and the L2L. - Page 5 INSTALLATION MANUAL OVERVIEW (continued) Common Features of the PALS©® L2L and 9000: Push Button Alarm activation Battery compartment/Reset switch: After a battery is installed in the PMT, the reset switch must be pressed. The switch is located inside the battery compartment, insid the cover above the battery holder. Lapel Reader Accessory: The Lapel Reader is an infrared detector that may be plugged into the programming jack of the PMT and threaded through clothing that may inadvertently cover the PMT.

All Hardware Keys must remain on the machines where they were initially installed and never relocated or removed for any reason. Doing so will cause undesired results and void all warranties implied or otherwise, unless specifically directed by Actall® Technical Support. If you are unfamiliar with your operating system or you are unfamiliar with the intricacies of the network being used, please do not attempt to use the network function of the Crisis Controller©™. - Page 10 Client/Server Network Configurations Crisis Controller can also be configured to run in a Client/Server environment for large installations requiring this type of performance. An Actall Technician should be consulted prior to installing this type of network setup. PALS Installation Manual...

Page 11: Crisis Controller©™ Hardware
CRISIS CONTROLLER©™ HARDWARE All Crisis Controller©™ systems will have at least one serial receiver and a number of transmitters. Every system must have an Alert Monitoring Hardware Key installed at all times. Other devices may or may not be used, depending on the application. - Page 12 The DIP switches on the Serial Watchdog controller are factory set, they should not be changed for any reason. If they are inadvertently modified, contact Actall® Technical Support for assistance. There is no setup required for Serial Watchdog support in the Crisis Controller©™...

Page 13: Serial Receiver
(available through Actall® Corp.) or using Crisis Controller in “Test Mode”, which displays signal margin and signal level of each transmitter (see the Actall® User Manual). Repeater functions are not to be confused with IR or RF locating devices. Repeaters should be used when signal strength tests indicate marginal or weak signal conditions, or to provide redundant transmission pathways in critical sites. -
Page 14: Input /Output Module (Sio32)
Apply power via the supplied 14VAC transformer. Once power is applied, the Repeater can be programmed using the Crisis Controller©™ software and the Serial Receiver (see the Actall® User Manual). Once the Repeater is programmed it should be mounted on a wall or ceiling using a camera mount in a vertical position with the receive side of the Repeater facing the majority of the transmitters. - Page 15 CRISIS CONTROLLER©™ HARDWARE (continued) The SIO32 Output section has 32 Form C relays, with connections arrayed in four rows of terminal blocks with N/O, N/C, and common terminals for each output. The SIO32 Input section consists of two 32-position terminal strips with inputs on one side and ground terminals for each position on the other (ground terminals are on the inside) Configuration: Configuration of the board is accomplished by setting the 8-position DIP switch.

Page 16: Paging
Paging The Crisis Controller©™ can automatically respond to alarm or trouble events by automatically communicating with on-site or off-site pagers. Users can also manually activate specific pagers as needed (see Actall® User Manual for additional details). The system accommodates multiple pager services, with service to all types of pagers. When programmed or manually instructed to send a page, the system calls the pager service assigned to the pager and relays numeric or alphanumeric information. -

Serial Receiver without the use of a Repeater. If Repeaters are used, either a Survey Kit is required (available through Actall® Corp.) or the Crisis Controller©™ software must be installed on a portable machine allowing for mobility. Please contact Actall® Technical Support for more information. -
Page 18: Testing Irt Locators
IRT-S is no lens at all. However, as this is not practical, it is very important to use only lenses specified (and included) by Actall® Corp. Programming IRTs into Crisis Controller: After configuring and wiring the IRT Master units, IRTs must be programmed into the Crisis Controller©™... - Page 19 CRISIS CONTROLLER©™ HARDWARE (continued) Coverage and placement of IRT Locators: The guiding principle of installing IRT Locators is that signals to PMTs will be unobstructed and unambiguous. Wherever IRTs are used, the PMT must be able to get ONE clear signal at a time. This means that IRTs must be located in such a way that users will always be in range of a PMT and that signals from one IRT can always reach the PMT.

Page 20: Wireless Rf Locators (Rfl)
CRISIS CONTROLLER©™ HARDWARE (continued) IRT range can be reduced by proximity to fluorescent lighting. Generally speaking, loss is minimal if the IRTs are farther than 2 meters from the light source and the light source is not generating in-band noise. In-band noise is typically generated by an electronic ballast. - Page 21 CRISIS CONTROLLER©™ HARDWARE (continued) Unless the system is advised that a user has exited an IRT Locator zone, it will not look for RF Locator transmissions. Once the user passes the exit IRT, the system will begin to look for incoming data from RF Locators. Exit units should be placed at doorways or passageways leading into areas covered by RF Locators.
