Wireless Cuff Preparation:
The wireless cuff includes five components, a battery assembly (hub), “O” ring, transmitter
assembly, a bracelet and four screws.
•
Battery Assembly - Provides a nominal 6 Volt DC source to power the transmitter when
assembled. Life is estimated at 3 months average. The transmitter will cease operation at
around 3.9 Volts.
•
“O” Ring - Seals the transmitter compartment when assembled making it waterproof.
•
Transmitter Assembly - Encapsulated transmitter with battery contacts for power. Periodically
sends a message to the receiver which is resident in the PTU.
•
Screws, 4 each - #4 Phillips, flat head, stainless steel, sheet metal screws; 3/8” in length.
A cuff may be attached to a client once preparation has been completed. Select an appropriate
length bracelet for the ankle (table 1), one battery assembly with “O” ring installed, one transmitter
assembly and four screws. Sizes 5,6,7 and 8 are stocked by ABS. Other sizes will have to be
special ordered at the time of contract. Lead time is two weeks.

Assemble Transmitter and Battery:
Align the battery assembly key appropriately with the transmitter assembly slot and lightly engage
the hub of the battery assembly to the transmitter cavity. Rotate one assembly carefully until the
index mark on one aligns with the index mark on the other. Press the two assemblies together
firmly with both hands until little gap can be observed between the two assemblies. Hold them in
place with one hand and insert one screw (using a Phillips screwdriver) at a time. Insert the second
screw 180 degrees from the first and tighten. The other two screws may be inserted in any order.
Wireless Bracelet Installation:
Figure 2 provides the necessary client installation instructions. Install the bracelet to one side of
the cuff assembly first. The second side is installed while against the clients wrist or ankle. Once
the cuff is installed on the client it must be activated. Activation occurs when the magnet provided
is placed against the transmitter body for a minimum of five seconds. Once activated the client is
free to move within the limits of the following violation definitions.
