Copyright © 2001 Detection Systems, Inc.SE88 Transmitters User’s Guide PN 48058A2 5/23/01 User’s Guide for the SE88 Security Escort ® Watch/Pendent Panic Transmitter Introduction The SE88 is a personal transmitter designed to work with the Security Escort System. When initiated, a signal identifying you and your location is sent to the security office. The SE88 may also be tested within sight of a Receiver or Siren/Strobe by the user. The waterproof SE88 may be worn like a watch, as a neck pendent or it may be attached to a solid surface with the supplied mounting bracket. The Security Escort system is NOT a substitute for safe behavior. System users should not take personal risks under the misconception that the system will provide protection that will compensate for taking such risks. Specifications SE88-10S:Provides a supervisory transmission to the Security Escort system every 11 seconds. SE88-30S:Provides a supervisory transmission to the Security Escort system every 32 seconds. SE88-60M:Provides a supervisory transmission to the Security Escort system every 65 minutes. Battery:Lithium coin cell battery. Duracell DL2032 Eveready CR2032 Panasonic CR2032 Operating Temperature:-4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C). Transmitting an Alarm Use your transmitter to transmit an alarm only when you are in danger, seriously injured, or feel threatened. NOTE:Your personal transmitter is an emergency communication device and should not be used for routine communications with the staff. Transmitting an alarm alerts a computer located in the security office that you require emergency assistance. A display on the computer screen indicates your identity and approximate location, and an someone is dispatched to assist you. In some facilities, flashing strobes and audible sirens will be activated in the vicinity of your location. To transmit an alarm simply press the “Alarm” button for 1 second. The LED indicator will blink to indicate an alarm has been sent. Once the Alarm button has been pressed, the transmitter will continue to send a signal every 7 seconds for 15 minutes. The alarm transmission can be stopped by pressing the “Test” button at any time. NOTE:You do not have to point the transmitter at a Receiver, nor do you need to be in sight of a Receiver to activate an alarm. Testing the Transmitter Test the transmitter weekly. To verify the transmitter’s operation: 1. You must be in sight of a Security Escort Siren/Strobe or a Security Escort Receiver. Receivers are located inside buildings usually within sight of an exit door. They are mounted on walls in light beige, rectangular enclosures bearing the Security Escort logo. Siren/Strobes are typically mounted on outside building walls and on light poles. by D etectio n Systems, Inc. Siren/Strobe and Receiver 2. Press the “Test” button on your SE88 Security Escort Transmitter for about one second. Release after the LED blinks. 3. Look for a flashing strobe on a Siren/Strobe or a flashing green light on a Receiver. A flashing green light on a Receiver or a flashing strobe on an Siren/Strobe confirms that the entire system is working. If you do not see the flashing light or flashing strobe, the test was not successful. NOTE:There might be a brief delay of two or three seconds before the flashing light appears. If there is no response, try the test again. If there is no response the second time, your transmitter might not be working. Take the transmitter to the security office. Battery Life Depending on the model and assuming normal usage (such as weekly testing), the battery life should be: Model SE88-10S = Approximately 30 days Model SE88-30S = Approximately 120 days Model SE88-60M= Approximately 3 years If the battery is weak, a special signal is sent to the security office during any test, alarm or supervisory transmission. Tests will not produce a flashing light on a Receiver or Siren/Strobe when your transmitter has a weak battery.

October 15, 2001 Detection Systems 130 Perinton Parkway Fairport, NY 14450 c/o Retlif Testing Laboratories Attention: Rich Reitz We have reviewed the Detection Systems Security Escort, Watch/Pendent Panic Transmitter FCC ID number ESV-0117-05, which was presented for certification. Upon review of the Detection Systems Security Escort, Watch/Pendent Panic Transmitter FCC ID number ESV-0117-05, it was determined that a clarification must be made before certification can continue. 1. Report of Measurements Section a. For 15.231(a)(1), states transmitter ceases within 5 sec. Of deactivation. Explain. What happens during alarm? Does the “auto-tracking” cease when the alarm is deactivated? b. Explain how the SE88-10S-304 meets the periodic transmission limitations described in 15.231(e). The silent period between transmissions must be at least 30 times the duration of the transmissions. You show the supervisory transmission as 4 packets w hich could have a max. duration of 4(20ms)+3(275ms) = 905ms. X30=27.15sec. Minimum silent period. c. For 15.231(a)(4), explain how the “auto-tracking” mode meet the intend of “pendency of alarm”. d. For 15.231(b), since this device uses periodic transmissions the limit of 15.231(e) will apply? Please make corrections. e. Under “Determination of Limits”, the reference limits should be changed to the ones in 15.231(e). Also, the limit of 1050 uV/m (too low) for the fundamental is not correct. In turn, the limits shown on the data pages are not correct. Please make corrections. The status of your application for certification authorization has been placed on hold for a period of 30 days. During this time Elite will be happy to answer any questions or assist in any way possible for a successful grant of certification authorization. At the conclusion of the allotted 30-day period, Elite reserves the right to dismiss your application for certification authorization if no reply to this inquiry is received. Sincerely, Richard King Certification Department Coordinator ELITE ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING Response to above questions from Elite 1. FCC 15.231(a)(1) states that the transmitter shall cease transmission within 5 seconds of deactivation. Please explain what happens during an alarm. Does the "auto-tracking" cease when the alarm is deactivated? A: An alarm and therefore, auto-tracking begin when the large button is pressed and stopped when the small button is depressed. If the small button is not pressed to deactivate the alarm within 15 minutes, it will shut off the auto-tracking function after 15 minutes. The auto-tracking function does cease when the alarm is deactivated. 2. Explain how the SE88 meets the periodic transmission limitations of FCC 15.231(e) which states the silent period must be at least 30 times the duration of transmissions. You show the supervisory transmission as 4 packets which could have a maximum duration of 4(20ms) + 3(275 ms)= 905 ms *30=27.15 seconds for the silent period. A: This statement is incorrect. A supervisory signal is only 2 packets. Therefore, the maximum duration is: 2(20mS) + 1(275mS)=315mS>> 315mS* 30=9.45 S for the minimum silent period. 15.231(e) restricts the minimum silent period to 10 S. The SE88-10S-304 transmits a supervisory signal every 12 S, the SE88-30S-304 every 30 S and the SE88-60M-304 every 60 minutes. 3. For 15.231(a)(4), explain how the "auto-tracking" mode meet the intent of "pendency of alarm" A: In our discussions back and forth, we requested a definition of "pendency of alarm", which is not defined anywhere in the FCC rules... Detection systems provided the following description of how the system is used in order to justify the 15 minute "auto-tracking" time as being a reasonable time for an "alarm" condition to exist. The SE88 is a panic-type transmitter that allows the user to alert security or medical personnel in a distress event. Once activated the device continues the transmission of an alarm signal every 7 seconds for a 15 minute period, unless it is deactivated by the user or medical/security personnel. This 15 minute period allows security/medical personnel to triangulate the physical location of the user, even if moving. This is usually enough time for emergency personnel to dispatch the required assisance to the user's location. When emergency personnel arrive at the users location, they deactivate the alarm signal if the 15 minute auto-tracking is still operating. For the last two items (d & e)please refer to the attached file named newdata&report.zip for corrected limit information.

® DETECTION SYSTEMS, INC. 130 PERINTON PARKWAY FAIRPORT, NEW YORK 14450 USA phone: 716-223-4060 FAX: 716-223-9180 Technical Description of SE88 Transmitter Family SE88 transmitter family includes the models of SE88-60M-304, SE88-30S-304 and SE88-10S-304. They are battery operated, Watchtype two button RF transmitters with carrier frequency of 304.0MHz. They are designed with supervisory, low battery detection and waterproof capabilities. All the models have same RF transmitter portion and the only difference among them is the supervisory time of which SE88-60M-304 is 65 minutes, SE88-30S-304 is 32 seconds and SE88-30S-304 is 11 seconds. These products can be used to send “alarm”, “test” and “auto-tracking” command signals to receiver(s) in DS Escort Security System. Frequency Control Devices Used: 1. An internal 4MHz RC oscillator as microcontroller’s clock. 2. One 304 MHz SAW resonator used for the oscillator of the RF transmitter. The transmitters send multiple RF data bursts as the following: • 4 packet “test” signal transmitted and LED blinks by pressing "test" button. • 8 packet panic signal and LED blinks whenever "alarm" button is pressed. • 2 packet “auto-tracking” signal transmitted every 7 seconds for total of 15 minutes after an “alarm” transmission has been generated. Special Software Function for Agency Tests and Its Operation: A special software is designed for the convenience of agency tests of SE88 transmitter. Whenever you press "alarm" button of a testing unit the RF transmitter will transmit about 5 minute RF signal and then stop. Repeating above action activates another 5 minute transmission. The RF data and packet format of the testing transmitter is same as those of production units except that the testing unit repeats the packets for ease of testing. Pushing the test button will terminate the transmission. Please replace the batteries after two hour testing because the special software function consumes more current. Duty cycle correction factor calculation: Each packet contains 76 data bits and the packet transmission time with 5KHz data rate is 15.2 ms. Our 50% duty cycle Manchester coding of the transmission ensures a 50% ON-AIR time for every packet which is 7.6 ms. The minimum quiet time between packets is 100 ms. Packet time = 15.2 milliseconds. Quiet time between packets = 100 milliseconds. ON-AIR time = (Packet time)×50% = 7.6 milliseconds, in 115.2 milliseconds. Factor = 20 LOG(ON-AIR time/100ms) = 20 LOG(0.076) = -22.38 dB ® DETECTION SYSTEMS, INC. 130 PERINTON PARKWAY FAIRPORT, NEW YORK 14450 USA phone: 716-223-4060 FAX: 716-223-9180 eng/vol1/wireless/gendocs/protocol/RF_5kbps_tx_info.doc General RF Alarm Devices Information for 5kbps 1. Data Modulation The data is modulated using the Manchester on/off keyed encoding scheme with 50% duty cycle shown below. The on-air format is defined with a ‘1’ bit which is carrier turning on at the bit center and a ‘0’ bit which is carrier turning off at the bit center. 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 200us 100us 100us 200us 2. Message, Packet and Inter-Packet A packet consists of all on-air bits that are transmitted to provide the system with the current status of a transmitter. A single message is composed of up to 8 packets of the same data. The time between packets is defined as a pseudo-random time length between 100 milliseconds and 275 milliseconds. Message < 8 Packets t p < 20ms t ip = 100ms - 275ms t p t ip 3. Transmission A message will be transmitted when a control signal has changed, a system integrity test takes place or the supervisory time has expired. Control Signal / Recognition Code A single message, of up to 8 packets, will be transmitted when the control signal changes in a transmitter or a repeater. Up to 8 packets of recognition code will also be transmitted by the repeaters to ensure system integrity. < 8 Packets Supervisory To verify system integrity, the state of the inputs will be transmitted periodically. These transmissions consist of not more than 4 packets and will occur not less than every 60 minutes. < 4 Packets > 60 minutes < 4 Packets Note: Packet width of < 20ms with 50% duty cycle Manchester modulation makes the on-air time < 10ms. Therefore, no transmission has more than 10ms of on time out of 100ms. Note: figure not drawn to scale Note: figure not drawn to scale Note: figure not drawn to scale Note: figure not drawn to scale
