2 1 BASIC DESCRIPTION OF PATROL SYSTEM The patrol wand is an information collector with a built-in clock and a storage memory, each information button (or card) has a code number saved in it, which is unique and different from any others. A patrol point is installed with an information button (or card), from which the patroller may read data with a patrol wand. The patrol wand then will generate records, with each containing the code number and time of the information button (or card). Use a computer to connect the communication unit via a serial port. Transmit the information collected by the patrol wand into the computer, which then will be able to display the patrol points and times contained in each information button (or card), analyze the patrol records and obtain relevant patrol results. Reading an information button, the patrol wand normally will send out a long beep voice (about one second long) and the indicator will flash quickly, which indicates a successful reading. When making a continuous reading from the same information button (or card) within 2 minutes, the patrol wand will send out a short beep (shorter than a half second) and the indicator will also send a quick flash, which is a prompt only and won t produce any patrol record. If the records saved in the patrol wand is full, the wand will send out four beeps and the indicators will also send four flashes, which prompts that the storage is getting full soon. When it s full, the patrol wand won t be able to read any information button (or card). Only when the saved records are cleared by collecting and saving them into the software, the patrol wand can be used to read data again. 2

8 5.1 To Clear the patrol wand history data The steps are: Download the patrol data firstly, then use this patrol wand to read one RFID tag once, the history data will be cleared from the patrol wand hardware. Click Menu: Collect -> Collect Data : 5.4 Patrol Site Tag and Patroller Tag Registry Patrol Site Button: it will be installed at a place after register, the guard man(patroller) will move to that place and read that tag when they do patrol tour work. Patroller Button: it stand for the patrol man. When the man begin the patrol, read his own patroller button firstly. Both Patrol Site button and patroller button need to be registered firstly before using. Here we suppose we have one site button and one patroller button. Step 1: click Menu Equipment -> Set point to set the information of Patrol Site Button 8

9 Click Add Patrol Point, input the point name and point code. Sample as below. Step 2: click Menu Equipment -> Set Patroller to set the information of Patroller Button Click Add Patroller, input the patroller name and code. Sample as below. Step 3: Using the patrol wand, read the two buttons by sequence. Then collect data by click Menu Collect -> Collect Data, After that you will get some records as below: It indicates that this button is not registered, Select this record, then click Register Button as below: 9

10 Select Patrol Point or Patroller, in the list, select the patrol point or patroller accordingly. 5.5 Patrol Plan Patrol Route Click Plan -> Patrol Route to add patrol route. Input the Patrol Route name, code and description, add the patrol point to set up a complete route path. You can choose patrol by sequence or not. Then, Click Save to save the data. You can create multiple patrol route according to your actual requirement. 10

11 5.5.2 Create Patrol Plan Open the pull down menu Plan and then click Patrol Plan to enter the appropriate interface. A patrol plan includes three indispensable components: patrol shift, patrol route and patrol task. The software will automatically guide you to make relevant settings. To set a patrol shift, click Add Patrol Shift to display the appropriate interface. 11

12 Please note that a shift has two attributes: shift set by week and shift set by date. In the actual application, there re two situations: 1) Patrol task is the same in each day, that is, there s no difference on day-offs and holidays. Thus it s enough to set one patrol task for each shift and it s ok to tick from Monday till Saturday and Sunday. 2) There might be different patrol tasks on different dates and week days. The system can set patrol shifts of different tasks by date and week and analyze patrol results by calling out appropriate shifts according to dates and weekdays. When calling out a patrol shift, priority will be given to the By Date shift, that is, if a By Date shift is set on a certain date, the By Week shift appropriate to that date won t be considered. For example, 1th May 2006 is a Monday; if the shift/task of 1th May 2006 is set, the shift/task on that Monday won t be considered when summarizing the patrol task that day. Example: The security guards of a company are arranged to implement such morning patrols: 5 patrols per day from Mondays to Fridays, 10 patrols on Saturdays and Sundays and 20 patrols on holidays. In such case., we may set 3 kinds of morning shifts: common morning shift, day-off morning shift and holiday morning shift. Tick Monday to Frinday on the interface of Common Morning Shift. Tick Saturday and Sunday on the interface of Day-off Morning Shift. 12

13 Choose the attribute By Date from the interface Holiday Morning Shift and then input the dates of holidays. Do the same setting for swing shift and night shift. Thus, when you view the patrol status of a certain day, the system will call out the appropriate shift statistics according to the chosen date. For example, 29th December 2005 is a Thursday and so it is summarized as a common shift. Though 1th May 2006 is a Monday, it is also included in the holiday shifts and therefore is summerized as a holiday shift. After setting the shifts, you may set patrol route and task for each shift. 5.6 Collect Patrol wand Data Check the above chapter, After collecting all data, The system will save the data and carry out clock setting and storage clearance for the patrol wand. 5.7 Analyse Data Click Data to pull down the menu: Analyze Data, Analyze Data provides results acquired by analyzing the patrol wand data according to the patrol plan. 13
