G-4 Glossary User Manual
Passive Infrared Reader
(PIR)
A device that uses an infrared light to detect motion.
Push Button Override
(PBO)
A switch (push button) that triggers the Keypad’s Escort function.
Program Shell
An application of the Software that houses the displayed monitored area.
Receiver
A device that detects the signal of an activated Tag, usually mounted in the
Controller above the drop ceiling or on the wall next to the door being
monitored. For centrally located systems, the Receiver is mounted
separately at the door. A short rubber duck antenna protrudes from the
cover.
SB
“Slotted Back”, a Tag classification
S-TAD
Used to check the functionality of an Accutech Tag. Accutech Tags operate
by internal battery. Over the course of normal operation, Tags eventually
lose battery power and the Tags will need to be replaced. The S-TAD is
used to determine if a Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to an
activating signal. Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator.
Staff Alert Panel
(SAP)
A display panel used to indicate to staff where an Alarm, Door Ajar, Loiter,
or Supervise warning condition has occurred; it employs bi-color LEDs, a
Piezo Buzzer, and digital logic to control its outputs.
Supervisor
A built-in self-diagnostic circuit of the Controller that continuously
monitors the Tx Activation Field and periodically simulates a Tag in the
zone.
Tag
See ES 2200 System Tag, IS 3200 System Tag, or BR 4200 System Tag
Tag Test Station
(TTS)
A TTS is used in conjunction with the Accutech Software for Tag
assignments and to check the tags data information.
Tx Wand Antenna
A device that generates a Tag-activating radio frequency signal. This signal
is referred to as a “Tx Activation Field.”
Tx Activation Field
A radio frequency field created by a Tx antenna to detect Tags. Doors,
hallways, elevators, stairwells, and other passageways that have a Tx
Activation Field are commonly referred to as a “monitored zone.”
