INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 0
This manual provides instructions to install, configure, and test the major components of the
WatchMate® system, including the WatchMate ID or MR monitor, the WatchMate controller,
and the most commonly used accessories.
The WatchMate system is completely configurable to meet the specific needs of the facility. Some
common system configurations and applications are covered in this manual.
For information on using the system, please refer to the user guides included with each product.
Also refer to the WatchMate Software Manual (801U0601) for information on installing and
configuring the optional software for the WatchMate system.
Note
The information contained in this manual is intended for the trained installer who is familiar with
wiring in commercial and industrial enterprises, micro electronics including static sensitive components,
and computers. Local wiring and building codes must be followed. If you do not have these skills, do not
attempt to install the system.
Introduction
1-1
What is WatchMate?
The WatchMate system uses radio frequency (RF) technology to monitor residents in healthcare
facilities who have a tendency to wander away from safe areas. The system reduces the need for
other forms of restraint and allows the resident safe freedom of movement.
Each resident requiring protection wears a Watchlet™ resident bracelet, which regularly transmits
a unique identification code. WatchMate monitors look for these codes in a specifically
designated protected area, such as an exit. When a resident enters the protected area, the
WatchMate system can either lock the exit using an optional magnetic door lock, or sounds an
alarm and immediately display information on the monitor’s display.
The WatchMate controller provides central reporting of alarms, including resident identification
numbers and names, from up to 16 ID or MR monitors. For larger systems, multiple controllers
may be used for a maximum network of 32 devices (16 controllers and 16 monitors).
The WatchMate software enables central control of the entire WatchMate system. Through the
software, you can program ID and MR monitors and controllers, assign specific resident
information to each Watchlet bracelet ID number, and monitor alarms in the system. The
software runs on a standard PC with the Windows® operating system. The PC is physically
connected to each WatchMate controller via a Communications Port (COM Port).
The WatchMate system can be customized with optional accessories to meet the specific needs of
the facility. The figure below shows the more common WatchMate accessories and how they can
be configured to work together as a system.

Chapter 1
WatchMate System Installation Manual
Major System Components
Watchlet Resident Bracelet
Watchlet resident bracelets are the transmitters worn by residents. They combine
Frequency Modulation (FM) technology with advanced microprocessor
technology.
The monitor picks up FM transmissions from the Watchlet bracelets in the
protected area. A resident wearing a Watchlet bracelet who enters a protected area
causes the monitor to respond, such as by triggering a magnetic door lock to
secure the exit or sounding an alarm to alert staff.
The Watchlet bracelet is approximately the size of a sport watch and is attached to
the wrist or ankle of the resident with a locking strap. The Watchlet bracelet
carries a three-year warranty.
ID and MR Monitor
The WatchMate ID or MR monitor protects a doorway or other
zone in your facility. A directional sensor is installed in the area to
be protected, for example, over a door or in a hallway. The sensor
defines a field, referred to as the “protected area.” A resident
wearing a Watchlet bracelet triggers a response when he or she
enters the protected area.
The monitor display is installed near the area at a level that can be
easily viewed by staff. The monitor sounds an alarm and displays
alarm information.
The difference between the ID and MR models is the level of
identification. The ID model displays the identification number of the resident’s Watchlet
bracelet on the monitor display. The MR model can display the identity of the wanderer at the
WatchMate controller and in the WatchMate software, but not locally.
The WatchMate ID and MR DoorPack consists of the following components:
• Monitor
• Directional sensor
• 12 VDC power supply
• Door Contact (normally closed dry contact)
WatchMate Controller
The WatchMate controller is typically installed at a nurse station or other staffed location to
provide central reporting of alarms from MR and ID monitors in the facility.
The controller shows the status of each monitor in the network, and provides detailed alarm
information, including the ID number(s) of residents causing a Wander Alarm, the monitor
where the alarm occurred, and the time. In addition, up to 30 resident names can be programmed
into the controller to display when an alarm occurs. (Note that this does not limit the number of
Watchlets to 30. Names are assigned to specific Watchlet ID numbers, and once the 30 name
limit is reached, all remaining Watchlets are identified by ID number in an alarm situation.)
Introduction
Major System Components
1-3
One controller can support up to 16 monitors, and multiple controllers can be used to represent
facility zones. For example, monitors on the first floor of a facility can be configured to
communicate with a first-floor controller. That controller can then be configured to communicate
with a master controller, installed, for example, in a central nursing station. In a network with
multiple controllers, only one controller is assigned as the master controller; all other controllers
are, by default, slave controllers.
Controller PC and Client PCs
The Windows-based Controller PC (p/n 801A3601)
contains the WatchMate software and controls the operation
of the WatchMate system. The WatchMate software
displays facility floor plans and relevant system data
including the status of all Watchlet bracelets. Typically
located at a nurse station the computer monitors and
controls all system operation. Additional Client PCs (p/n
801A8401) can be connected at remote locations
throughout a facility.
The software offers advanced control through an intuitive
user display. Designed for ease-of-use, the software presents only task-critical information to the
operator, and supports a touch screen interface. The degree and level of operator access can be
regulated through password control. User accounts can be created and authority assigned
according to each facility’s requirements.
The software records all activity, including alarms, within a database. A variety of reports of
system activity can be viewed on screen and printed. Custom reports can be created by exporting
the database for use with third party software programs, including Microsoft Access.
The WatchMate software is an optional product. Its installation and use are covered in the
WatchMate Software Manual (801U0601).

DOORPACK INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 0
This chapter provides instructions on how to install and wire a single WatchMate DoorPack, and
set the size and orientation of the detection area.
DoorPacks can be installed alone, with optional accessories or as part of a network. Please refer to
the following chapters for information on accessory installation, or different WatchMate
applications.
Once physically installed, refer to “Monitor Configuration” on page 4-1 for instructions on how
to configure the system and “System Testing” on page 7-1 for instructions on how to test the
system to ensure it is operating properly.
DoorPack Installation
2-1
System Design
Before installing the DoorPack, it is important to carefully plan the location of the monitor and
directional sensor, and examine system power and other installation requirements. Properly
designing the system and carefully locating the sensor will ensure optimal system performance.
The Protected Area
The protected area is the area around an exit where the directional sensor will detect Watchlet
transmissions.
The first step in planning the installation of a DoorPack is determining the location of the
protected area and its size and shape. The goal is to have the exit point fully covered while
reducing the potential for “nuisance alarms.” Nuisance alarms occur when the sensor picks up
transmissions from Watchlets too far from the exit being monitored. When planning the design of
the system, it is a good idea to consult the building’s floor plans and facility staff to ensure proper
location of the monitor and especially the directional sensor. Take careful note of sitting areas,
lounges, or rooms near the exit where monitored residents may spend time. This will affect the
positioning of the directional sensor.
Area Shape
The shape of the protected area resembles the shadow cast by a light bulb. In practical application,
however, the shape will vary depending on environmental factors. A sensor mounted on the wall
and angled slightly downward—a typical installation—would produce a protected area shaped
roughly like that shown in Figure 2.1. Once installed, the location of the protected area can be
changed by rotating the sensor within its mounting bracket.
Figure 2.1
2-2
Protected area viewed from the side.
Chapter 2
WatchMate System Installation Manual
Area Size
After it has been mounted and aimed, a sensitivity adjustment can enlarge or shrink the size of the
protected area down to 6 ft. (1.8 m) or up to 20 ft. (6.1 m) without changing its shape. This
adjustment is made in the monitor’s Service Menu during configuration. Refer to “Setting the
Protected Area” on page 2-14 for more information on this adjustment.
Power Requirements
• The ID/MR DoorPack requires 9-14 VDC, and draws a maximum of 230 mA at 12 V.
• Power may be supplied from the AC Adapter provided, or from a 12 VDC central supply.
• Local supply: approved voltage transient grounded AC outlets should be mounted above the
monitor not more than 5 ft. away (preferably concealed in the suspended ceiling). The AC
Adapter is supplied with 9 feet (2.7 m) of cable.
• Central supply: 12 VDC may be supplied to each monitor from a central power supply. If
using a central power supply, it is recommended that a surge protector be used. Carefully
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) unit with a 12 VDC output may be used to power
the system for protection from local utility power failures.
• The following table lists the devices that may be powered from the monitor.

Installation Locations
The WatchMate design offers considerable installation flexibility. The directional sensor does not
have to be mounted on the ceiling or over a door frame, although these are typical installations.
Choose an installation location that will provide the best coverage of the area while avoiding, as
much as possible, large metal objects, high-traffic areas, and other RF devices. In addition, the
structure around the exit point will be a factor in deciding where to mount the sensor. For
example, a glass wall above a door will mean the sensor will have to be installed on the ceiling or
on the wall beside the door.
Location Considerations
Consider the following points when planning an installation:
• Keep the protected area away from high traffic or occupied areas.
Locating a protected area away from high-traffic areas (like a bedroom or lounge) will reduce
nuisance alarms. For example, place the directional sensor in an outer vestibule or in a stairwell
rather than inside the hallway. Make sure that the exit is still entirely covered.
• Keep the directional sensor at least 4 ft. 9 in. (1.6 m) from metal objects over 12” (30 cm) in
either height or length.
DoorPack Installation
System Design
2-3
Metal objects can reflect or block Watchlet signals and interfere with the shape and size of the
protected area. The directional sensor and the sensor cable should not be placed behind a metal
ceiling grid, near metal pipes, ducts or conduits, or any other metal objects or surfaces.
• Install the directional sensor away from other RF devices.
The directional sensor should be located a minimum of 10 ft. (3 m) away from pager
transmitters, public address systems, or any other device that uses high power radio frequency.
• For most applications, a capture range of about 8 to 15 ft. (2.4 - 4.6 m) in front of the sensor
and about 4 to 10 ft. (1.2 - 3 m) behind the sensor is ideal.
There is a approximately 30% less coverage behind the sensor. There is virtually no coverage at
the ends of the sensor.
• For multi-storey facilities, position the directional sensor such that it will not detect
Watchlets on adjacent floors.
The protected area can pass through from one floor to the next. Consider placing the
directional sensor on the wall, for example, to prevent Watchlets on adjacent floors from being
detected.
Installation Options
The figures on the following pages show examples of possible sensor installations. These should be
viewed as a guideline only. Each installation is unique, based on structural and environmental
factors and coverage requirements. Be prepared to move the sensor, if required.
Once you have chosen a location to mount the sensor, refer to the following sections for
installation procedures and the following chapters for instructions on how to configure the system
and perform verification testing.

Installing the Door Contact
Door contacts are used to determine whether the door is closed or open. They must be installed in
order for the system to operate properly. A set of door contacts is shipped with each ID and MR
DoorPack. If using a different set, ensure they are normally closed dry contacts. Install the door
contacts by completing the following steps:
1
Install the door contact with the connector on the door frame close to the frame’s edge, as
shown in Figure 2.9. Ensure door contacts are installed a minimum of 2” (5.1 cm) away from
any locking device to avoid interaction.
2
Install the door contact with the magnet on the door, directly below the other contact and
close to the door’s edge.
3
Connect the door contacts to the monitor, as described in “Wiring the Monitor” on
page 2-12.
Figure 2.9 Installation of door contacts
Passive Infrared Sensor
A Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) may be used in places where a door contact is inappropriate, for
example, in a hallway or over a revolving door. Use a PIR with a normally closed dry contact.
Install the PIR according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
For all other applications, including at an elevator, it is preferable to use door contacts. The
presence of a Watchlet and the detection of motion in the protected area will cause a PIR to
trigger a response. In addition, a PIR will stop detecting when there is no motion. Special door
contacts can be used for elevator applications, provided the elevator has an auxiliary output
terminal that can be configured to drive the door contacts. Consult the elevator manufacturer.

Signal strength
This menu allows you to look at the signal strength (S) of a Watchlet as you move through the
protected area. It also allows you to set an appropriate trigger threshold (T) that will cause an
alarm when the Watchlet signal strength is greater than the trigger level. This defines the size of
your protected area, or the distance a Watchlet has to be from the sensor before it is detected.
The valid range of the trigger (T) value is 70 to 120. A typical adjustment is from 90 to 110. A
higher trigger threshold requires the Watchlet to be closer to the sensor before it will be
acknowledged.
2-14
4
Use the ↑↓ arrow keys to set the trigger level (T) to approximately 80 as a starting point.
5
Attach a Watchlet to your wrist (or ankle, if that is where they will be worn by residents).
Stand at the farthest edge of the area you would like protected by the monitor. When the
Watchlet is within range, the monitor will sound a special beep with each Watchlet signal
received and display the Watchlet’s ID number.
6
Raise the T level until the monitor stops beeping. Then lower the T level two counts. The
signal strength (S) must exceed the T level.
7
Test the entire protected area with the Watchlet from various angles to ensure that the
monitor responds appropriately.

Annunciator
The WatchMate annunciator connects to a WatchMate MR or ID monitor to identify an alarm
and its source at a remote location. Up to 8 monitors may be connected to an annunciator
installed at a location up to 500 ft. (150 m) away.
Materials Required
• WatchMate annunciator panel (p/n 803A1002).
• Suitable mounting hardware.
• 24-gauge 3-conductor wire or heavier for all connections (length as required).
Mounting the Annunciator
Mount the annunciator in a location that can be easily viewed by facility staff.
1
Using the annunciator as a template, mark the holes for the mounting screws.
2
If wiring is to be concealed in a wall, mark the rear cable entry hole.
3
Drill the mounting holes and rear cable entry hole.
4
Place wall anchors in the mounting holes and partially thread in the screws.
5
Position the annunciator on the screws.
Connecting the Monitor to the Annunciator
Connect the monitor to the annunciator by completing the following steps. Figure 3.1 shows the
required connections.
Warning
Note:
3-2
Remove power from the monitor before connecting it to the annunciator.
1
Access the annunciator’s terminal block by removing the corner screws on the back casing.
2
Connect the monitor’s AUX OUT terminal to Zone 1 IN on the annunciator. Each zone
indicator on the annunciator receives power and signal information separately from each
monitor, and is isolated from the other zones. Do not interconnect wires from different
monitors. The annunciator receives power from Zone 1. Therefore, Zone 1 must always be
connected.
Power from Zone 1 applies to annunciators manufactured after January 01, 2001, identified by
the print circuit board revision number of Rev. 12 or higher (located in the upper left corner of the
circuit board). Units with a lower revision number are powered from Zone 5.

Connect the monitor’s CHARGER, GND, and AUX OUT terminals to the annunciator as
shown in the diagram below. Connect only one monitor to each annunciator zone.
Figure 3.1 Annunicator wiring diagram.
Connecting an External Device to the Annunciator Relay
The annunciator also includes a Form C dry contact relay to activate an external device such as a
siren, pager, or other alarm system. The relay terminals are rated to 2 A, 30 VDC (60 W). The
external device can be connected directly to the annunciator provided it meets these specifications.
The relay activates when an alarm indication is received from any Zone, and remains energized
until the alarm condition is cleared.
Adjusting Speaker Volume
The speaker volume is adjusted using the trimpot in the interior of the annunciator panel.
Connecting Annunciators to One or Multiple Monitors
This section describes how to connect one or more monitors to multiple annunciators. Note that
for this application the annunciators must be powered separately; they cannot be powered from
the monitor.
Materials Required
• WatchMate annunciator panel (p/n 803A1002); number as required.
• Suitable mounting hardware.
• Relay with one contact for each annunciator (N.O., 30 mA maximum). For example, use a 3pole relay for 3 annunciators, as shown in Figure 3.2.
• Diode for each connected zone (1N4001 or similar). This may be incorporated into the relay.
Check with your local electronics supplier.
Optional Device Installation
Annunciator
3-3
• Separate power supply required for the annunciators (the annunciator requires 12 VDC, and
draws 170 mA).
• 24-gauge wire or heavier for all connections (length as required). For cable runs greater than
500 feet (152 m) use 22-gauge wire or heavier.
Wiring the Annunciators
This example describes how to connect two monitors to three annunciators. Using this example as
a guide, you can connect any combination of monitors to annunciators. Figure 3.2 shows the
required connections.
To connect the monitors to the annunciators, complete the following steps.
3-4
1
Connect a relay to the +12 VDC and AUX OUT terminals on each monitor.
2
Attach the diode in parallel to each relay. This step may not be required if the relay you are
using contains the necessary diode.
3
For each monitor, connect the relay N.O. contacts to the zone and ground terminals on each
annunciator. Be consistent, connect each monitor to the same zone on each annunciator. This
ensures alarms identify the same monitor on all annunciators.
4
For each annunciator:
1
Connect the 12 V terminal for each zone being used to the 12 VDC power supply for that
annunciator.
2
Connect the ground (Gnd) terminal for each zone being used to the ground power supply
for that annunciator.
3
Check to ensure the terminals for monitor #1 are connected. The annunciator’s relay and
speaker receive power from these terminals. Annunciators do not operate properly without
these connections.
5
Supply power to the annunciators and monitors.
6
Test the System. Alarm each monitor and verify the response on each annunciator.

External Keypad
Use an external keypad to bypass a protected area. Install the keypad on the side of the door that is
not being protected. This will enable facility staff to enter a password and temporarily disarm the
monitor and enter the protected area. This also temporarily disengages a magnetic door lock, if
installed.
Note
Bypassing the monitor using the keypad temporarily disarms the monitor, allowing Watchlets to pass
through without generating an alarm. The monitor will rearm as soon as the door closes, or when the
Temporary Bypass time expires (see page 4-10 for details). The external keypad cannot be used to clear
alarms; use the monitor’s keypad to do so.
Materials Required
• Keypad with a transistor output (e.g. Corby 7020) or a N.O. dry contact.

WatchMate System Installation Manual
Wiegand-Standard Card Reader
The WatchMate ID and MR systems can be used with a card reader using the Wiegand 26-bit
standard. With the addition of the Wiegand Interface (p/n 801A6801, factory-installed option),
each ID or MR monitor can be connected directly to a card reader. The WatchMate system then
“piggybacks” on the card reader network, using it to relay signals to the central control unit of the
card reader system.
When an alarm occurs, the monitor outputs the ID of the Watchlet in alarm. Location
information is provided by the card reader. Depending on the type and sophistication of the headend software of the card reader system, this information can be displayed and reported in a
number of ways.
The system can also be configured to allow users to swipe their cards to bypass the monitor, even
during an alarm condition (this does not clear the alarm, however). An auxiliary output from the
card reader is connected to the monitor, and transmits a momentary +12 VDC pulse when the
card is passed through the reader. This causes the monitor to release the magnetic door locks.
Installation Considerations
• The WatchMate system provides an output for a 26-bit Wiegand-standard card reader only.
• Alarms cannot be cleared using the card reader head-end software or by passing a swipe card
through the reader. Alarms must be cleared at the monitor. This ensures that all alarms are
reviewed and acknowledged before being cleared.
• The card reader cannot be used to bypass the monitor for a specified Watchlet ID number.
When the swipe card is passed through the reader, the monitor is bypassed for the preset
Temporary Bypass period, or until the door closes (configurable).
Materials Required
• Xmark Wiegand Interface (p/n 801A6801, factory-installed option)—one per monitor.
• 26-bit Wiegand-standard card reader system.
• 24-gauge wire or heavier for all connections (length as required)
Installation
The following instructions provide an overview of installation. Required connections are shown in
Figure 3.9.
1
Install the card reader system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2

Door Clears Bypass
Note
This feature is used to end the Temporary Bypass time (set in the Maintenance Menu) when the
protected door closes. The monitor rearms as soon as the door closes even if time remains in the
Temporary Bypass. For example, if the Temporary Bypass is set to 15 seconds but it only takes 5
seconds to walk through the door, the monitor will rearm when the door closes. This prevents a
second resident from “tailgating” through the door.
This feature is usually disabled when a monitor is used in an elevator.

CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 0
This chapter provides instructions on how to design a WatchMate network and install the
controller.
Once physically installed, refer to “Controller Configuration” on page 6-1 for instructions on how
to configure the network and “Network Testing” on page 7-3 for instructions on how to test the
network to ensure it is operating properly.
Controller Installation
5-1
Network Design
The WatchMate system employs a simple two-wire “daisy chain” network to connect one or more
controllers to multiple ID or MR monitors. The network is a double-terminated bus design, with
a maximum length of 2000 ft. (610 m).
Design Considerations
• Determine in advance the location of the controller and each monitor, and indicate this on a
map of the facility. Locate the controller in a prominent location at a central nurse station.
• The controller can report alarms for up to 16 monitors. Slave controllers can be connected to
the master controller for a maximum network of 32 devices (16 controllers and 16 monitors).
• In a network with multiple controllers, only one controller is the master controller. All
others are slaves.
• The network can have a maximum length of 2000 ft. (610 m). If greater length is required,
use the following network repeater: DIFR44 Dual Isolated Fast Automatic Repeater, from
R.A. Smith. Tel: (513) 874-4796. Web site: www.rs485.com. Available with enclosure and
AC/DC converter.
• Take into consideration the location of panels, conduit, sheet rock and other structural
elements, as these can interfere with the installation of cable. Route the cable using the shortest
possible run length.
• Install all monitors and verify their operation before connecting them to the network.
• In the event of loss of power, the controller does not retain resident name information and day
and night time settings. It is recommended that the internal battery back option (p/n
801A1401) be used to ensure easy system restoration in the event of power loss.
Good Wiring Practices
The following practises when laying the network cable will help eliminate problems in device
installation and configuration.
• Label the network cables to distinguish it from other cables.
• Avoid splicing the cable.
• Do not stress the cable or bend it at a sharp angle.
• Where the cable passes over a sharp object, protect it mechanically to secure it against damage.
• Establish and follow a consistent color-coding system for each wire of the cable. The
WatchMate network is polarity sensitive: the TIP wire must be connected to the TIP terminal,
and the RING wire to the RING terminal, at all devices.

Termination is provides by moving the jumper at J6 inside the first and last device in the network.
See page 5-8 for details.
System Power Requirements
• The controller and each ID/MR DoorPack require 9-14 VDC, and draw a maximum of 230
mA at 12 V. The nominal voltage required is 12 VDC.
• Power may be supplied from the AC Adapter provided with each device, or from a 12 VDC
central supply.
• Local supply: approved voltage transient grounded AC outlets should be mounted above the
device not more than 5 ft. away (preferably concealed in the suspended ceiling). The AC
Adapter is supplied with 9 feet (2.7 m) of cable.
• Central supply: 12 VDC may be supplied to each controller and monitor from a central
power supply. If using a central power supply, it is recommended that a surge protector be
used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) unit with a 12 VDC output may be used to power
the system for protection from local utility power failures.

Networks with Multiple Controllers
A facility may require multiple controller if reporting is required at more than one location in the
facility. One controller is the master controller, and all others are slaves.
Although the master controller must be configured to display alarms from all monitors in the
network, slave controllers can be set to display alarms from only selected monitors. This enables a
facility to be divided into zones (for example, two floors of a building). The benefit of this
arrangement is that users in each area only see the alarms that are relevant to them.
The following figure shows one of many possible configurations.

Recessed Installation
For recessed installations, use the optional Recessed Panel. Orient the panel with the sloped edge
to the bottom. Mark and cut out a rectangular hole approximately 6.8" wide by 6.1" high. Using
the panel as a template, mark holes for mounting screws. Drill the mounting holes, placing wall
anchors in the mounting holes, and put screws in partially. Mount the monitor on the screws and
tighten them, while keeping the assembly level.
Setting Network ID Numbers
Before connecting the controller and monitors to the network, assign each device a unique
identification number in its Service Menu. This procedure is identical on monitors and
controllers. Note that device numbers do not have to be in sequential order; device numbers can
be assigned to reflect facility numbering already in place, such as exit or door numbers.
Networks with a single controller: The controller must use the device number 17 (default).
Monitors can use any device number from 1 to 16.
Networks with multiple controllers: The master controller must have the device number 17
(default). Other controllers can use any device number from 18 to 32. Monitors can use any
device number from 1 to 16.

SYSTEM TESTING
CHAPTER 0
Once the system is installed and configured, perform final testing to verify proper operation of the
monitor and, if applicable, any WatchMate accessories. Verification testing includes checking the
power supply, connections, system setups, protected area coverage and battery backup.
Monitor Testing
Testing is ideally conducted with two people: one person to walk through the protected area to
test coverage and one person to observe the monitor’s display. Verify the operation of each
monitor by completing the following steps in order.
1
Check that all wiring connections to the monitor are correct.
2
Apply power to the monitor. Check the voltage level at the terminal strip. Nominal voltage is
12 VDC (10 to 14 V).
3
Observe the display. After startup, the display will read READY TO ARM Monitor or
Monitor ARMED.
4
In the Service Menu, enter the ID CAPTURE & DISPLAY menu. Press the * key to display
the edit window. The following display is an example. This example shows that the monitor is
detecting a Watchlet with the ID number 201, and the door is closed. The threshold (T) is set
to 100, and the signal strength from the Watchlet (S) is 104. Actual values will vary with the
size of the protected area.
ID#=0201 DR=
RSSI=-71.4 dBM
T=100
S=104
Test coverage in the protected area by completing the following steps:
1
Attach a Watchlet to your wrist and approach the protected area. Observe the distance
from the door that the monitor begins to beep. Walk through the entire protected area,
and ensure that the monitor detects the Watchlet at the desired distance, and there is no
possibility of a resident exiting undetected.
2
If Watchlets will be worn by residents on the ankle, repeat the previous step with the
Watchlet worn in this position.

WATCHMATE APPLICATIONS
CHAPTER 0
WatchMate systems can be used in a variety of configurations. This chapter describes some of the
more common applications. For help on other WatchMate applications not mentioned in this
chapter please consult with Xmark.
WatchMate Applications
8-1
Elevator Installations
The WatchMate ID and MR systems can be installed at an elevator to prevent residents from
using the elevator. The monitor holds the elevator door open by activating the elevator call button
or door open button, or other such mechanism.
The monitor may be installed either inside or outside the elevator. In addition, it can be
configured to generate an alarm, or simply hold the door open. The type of installation will
depend on the individual needs of the facility. Review the Installation Considerations before
proceeding.
Warning
Local legislation may restrict elevator modifications to licensed representatives only. In all
cases, Xmark strongly recommends that a licensed representative be consulted about the best
method of interfacing with the elevator control system.
Installation Considerations
The following factors should be examined closely when determining the best option for each
installation.
• Areas with low monitored-resident traffic: In these areas, it is possible to mount the monitor
outside the elevator. This is the easiest and most economical installation option.
• Areas with heavy monitored-resident traffic: To reduce nuisance alarm rates, the monitor
should be installed inside the elevator if the area in front has high resident traffic. It may also be
preferable to use a Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) instead of door contacts: the elevator will only
be held if someone is actually in the elevator while a resident is within the protected area.
• Multiple-floor protection: Where more than one floor requires protection, mount the monitor
inside the elevator. This will reduce the number of sensors required.
• Notification to a central station: Alarm notification to a WatchMate controller requires special
cabling if the monitor is installed inside the elevator. Refer to the section Network
Connections. When the monitor is outside the elevator, it is wired as in a standard installation.
• Mark locations for mounting but do not install permanently until testing is completed. This
allows for relocation to improve transmission performance.
Materials Required

WatchMate System Installation Manual
Wiring
The WatchMate monitor can be wired to hold elevator doors open with or without triggering an
alarm.
Alarm Notification
When wired for alarm, the monitor triggers an alarm if a resident enters the protected area, and
holds the elevator door open until the alarm is cleared.
1
Install the elevator door contacts or PIR. A set of elevator door contacts indicate when the
elevator door is open. If a PIR is used, an alarm occurs only if someone is inside the elevator
while a resident is in the protected area.
2
Connect the door contacts or PIR to the door contact inputs on the monitor, as shown in
Figure 8.1.
3
Connect the relay to the elevator interface. Connect the built-in relay on the monitor, to
either the call button (outside elevator installations) or door open button (inside elevator
installations). Refer to Figure 8.1.
4
Set the relay setting in the Service Menu to RELAY: ALARM. For more information, refer to
“Monitor Configuration” on page 4-1.
Figure 8.1 Elevator wiring with alarm notification
WatchMate Applications
Elevator Installations
8-3
No Alarm Notification
If no alarm is required, the monitor can be wired to hold the elevator doors open as long as a
resident remains in the protected area. The monitor’s relay closes if a Watchlet is within the
protected area, activating the elevator call or door open button and preventing the elevator doors
from closing.
1
Install the elevator door contacts or PIR. The elevator door contacts close when the elevator
door opens. (Alternatively, a PIR may be used to indicate when a resident has entered the
elevator).
2
Connect the door contacts or PIR to the door contact inputs on the monitor, as shown in
Figure 8.2.
3
Connect the relay to the elevator interface. Connect the monitor’s built-in relay to either the
call button (outside elevator installations) or door open button (inside elevator installations).
Refer to Figure 8.2.
4
Set the relay setting in the Service Menu to RELAY: WANDER. Also set the Relay Hold time
to the desired length; the elevator doors remain open for this period after the resident leaves
the protected area. For more information, refer to “Monitor Configuration” on page 4-1.
Figure 8.2 Elevator wiring with no alarm notification
Alternative Installation
The monitor can also be wired so that an alarm will occur only if the elevator doors close while a
resident is within the protected area. As long as the doors remain open, no alarm is generated.
This alternative installation guards against the possibility of the relay timing out, thus allowing the
elevator doors to close, and the resident to use the elevator.
8-4
Chapter 8
WatchMate System Installation Manual
Connect an external relay from the monitor's Aux Out terminal to the elevator’s control interface,
as shown in Figure 8.3. The relay setting in the Service Menu must be set to RELAY: WANDER.
For more information, refer to “Monitor Configuration” on page 4-1.
Figure 8.3 Alternative installation
Network Connections
Additional wiring is required if the monitor is being installed inside the elevator cab and
connected to a WatchMate controller or another monitor. Elevator shafts are extremely noisy
environments that can interfere with signal transmissions. Using network repeaters and proper
cabling can help ensure that the WatchMate network functions at peak performance.
Additional Materials Required
• Cable for wiring between the in-cab monitor and a WatchMate controller or monitor: SuperFlex 18-X57-13 from Draka Elevator Products.
Note: Depending on the installation environment, other cable types may also be usable. Consult
with Xmark.
• Two Dual Isolated Fast Automatic Repeaters (DIFR44), from R.A. Smith, Hamilton, OH.
Tel: (513) 874-4796. Web site: www.rs485.com. Available with enclosure and AC/DC
converter.
• Power supply for Repeater: 9-35 VDC (draws 300 mA at 9 V)
Wiring
The Repeaters are used to isolate the monitor in the elevator from other devices in the network.
The monitor and Repeater in the elevator essentially become a mini-network, connected to other
devices via the Repeater installed in the elevator control room.
Refer to the previous sections for information on wiring the monitor to the elevator control
interface. Also consult the wiring schematics provided with the Repeater.
1
Check that the termination in both Repeaters is set to on (factory default). Open the
enclosure and locate the J5 and J15 pins. They should both be closed.

8-5
2
Install the monitor inside the elevator. Set the termination in the monitor by moving the
jumper at J6 from the OUT position (shorting pins 1 and 2) to the IN position (shorting pins
2 and 3).
3
Install one of the Repeaters inside the elevator, and connect it to the monitor using standard
24 AWG wire. Refer to the wiring diagram on the right.
4
Install the other Repeater in the elevator control room, or another location where it can be
connected to other devices in the WatchMate network.
5
Connect the two Repeaters using elevator travelling cable. Maximum of 4000 ft. (1250 m).
Refer to the wiring diagram.
6
Connect the previous and following network devices to the second Repeater, as shown in
Figure 8.4.

WatchMate System Installation Manual
Covering an Exterior Entrance, Gate or Driveway
The WatchMate ID and MR systems can be used to monitor openings such as exterior gates or
driveways, through the use of a standard monitor combined with a Yagi directional antenna. For
smaller openings, such as an exterior doorway, a standard WatchMate directional sensor may also
be installed in a sheltered location. This may be useful to protect a doorway where there is a large
amount of resident traffic inside the building. By moving the sensor outside, the protected area is
shifted outwards, thus reducing the likelihood of nuisance alarms.
This section outlines how the WatchMate system can be configured to include a Yagi directional
antenna, or an exterior directional sensor. It does not cover how to install the antenna or sensor.
Please refer to the installation instructions supplied with the Yagi directional antenna. The
antenna may be purchased from a local electronics supplier. Refer to “Installing the Directional
Sensor” on page 2-9 for complete installation directions for the directional sensor.
Installation Considerations
Consider the following points when connecting the Yagi directional antenna to the WatchMate
system.
• The WatchMate monitor must be installed indoors, as close as possible to the Yagi directional
antenna.
• The further the antenna is placed from the monitor, the less the effective coverage. At 100 ft.
from the monitor (maximum distance), the antenna has a maximum coverage of 55 ft. Refer to
Figure 8.5. For other distances, please consult with Xmark.
• The gate or driveway to be covered must be bounded by an enclosure, such as a fence or wall.
The Yagi directional antenna is not intended to cover a wide open space.
• Keep in mind pedestrian traffic flows in the vicinity of the antenna. Frequent use by residents
of the area around the monitored gate or driveway may lead to a high number of nuisance
alarms. The use of an outdoor electro-photo beam or passive infrared detector may help to
reduce nuisance alarms.
• The cable connecting the Yagi directional antenna to the monitor can be installed either above
ground or buried. Be sure to use cable appropriate to your installation method.
Consider the following points when installing a WatchMate directional sensor outdoors.
• The sensor must be installed in a sheltered location where it will not be directly exposed to the
elements.
• The WatchMate monitor must be installed indoors, as close as possible to the directional
sensor.
• Use the 20 ft. cable supplied with the DoorPack to connect the monitor and sensor.
Materials Required
Yagi directional antenna application:
• WatchMate monitor
• 4-Element Broadband Yagi directional antenna, 220-222 MHz
• RG-58 co-axial cable with BNC male connector for outdoor or buried use

WatchMate System Installation Manual
Generating a Pre-Wander Alert
The WatchMate monitor can be configured to sound an alert, via a Watchmate annunciator,
when a resident wearing a Watchlet approaches a closed door.
The alarm continues to sound as long as the resident remains in the protected area, and for a brief
time afterwards (this is the relay hold time; see “Relay Hold” on page 4-5).
This application may be of particular interest to facilities that do not wish to have the monitor
lock the door in this situation. Facility staff is given early notice of a potential wander incident
before the resident actually opens the door and causes a Wander Alarm.
This section shows how to wire the monitor both with and without a magnetic door lock.
Materials Required
• WatchMate ID or MR DoorPack.
• WatchMate annunciator (p/n 803A1002)
• 24 gauge wire or heavier (length as required).
• If maglocks are used: IN4002 diode for external relay
