Accutech LC1400 - Addressing Alarms

1-7Chapter 1: The LC1400 System
Elevator Zones
Elevator deactivation circuitry deactivates
an elevator's controls so the wearer of a tag
cannot use that elevator.
Egress
If a tag enters a monitored elevator zone,
the elevator’s call button on that floor will
be deactivated (call buttons on other floors
are unaffected and no one is restricted from
coming to the floor).
When a tag is in the zone and the elevator
doors are closed, those doors will remained
closed.
When a tag is within or approaches the zone
while the elevator doors are open, the doors
will remain open, the elevator's controls will be
deactivated, and the system will alarm.
If the elevator car is en route to the floor when
a tag enters the elevator zone, the elevator will
arrive on the floor, the door(s) will open, the
elevator's controls will be deactivated, and the
system will alarm.
Hallway Zones
Egress
If a tag enters a monitored hallway zone, the
system will detect the tag and the PIRs will
detect motion. The system can then sound
alarms, trigger visual displays, and lock nearby
doors.

Warning
Addressing Door Alarms
A Door Alarm occurs when a Tag enters a
monitored zone and the door is open(ed) or a
PIR (motion detector) is triggered.
When a Door Alarm occurs:
1) Go to the alarm location. Locate and
assure the safety of the patient.
2) Find the tag and patient identified as
alarming on the PC. Check the following:
• Is someone loitering in that exit zone, and
do they have a tag? If so, remove the person
with the tag from that zone.
• Is a tag from an adjacent room being
activated by this exit zone? If so, call your
service technician for an adjustment of the
zone’s activation field size.
3) After assuring the safety of the patient,
clear the alarm at the zone by entering a
valid code into the zone’s keypad, then
clear the alarm at the PC.
