1. Initial Setup

Install the Detex ProxiPen / TopGuard Patrol software on your computer.
Connect the ProxiPen reader to the computer as instructed in the software or manual.
Install the battery in the ProxiPen. Tighten the battery cap securely, but do not overtighten.

On a sheet of paper, draw a map of all locations where the station tags will be mounted.
Assign each station a number on the map.
At the top of the sheet, write the names of all patrol officers.
Also at the top, list the names of the tours (for example: Tour 1, Tour 2, etc.).
At the bottom of the sheet, or on a separate sheet, list stations numbered 1–25.

On your desk, separate the largest tags and place red stickers on them.
Separate the 30 mm tags and place the remaining stickers on them.
On the large tags, write the letters A, B, C, D, and E. These will typically be used as key control or tour-related tags.
On the small tags, write the numbers 1–25 for use as station checkpoints.
Important: Do not scan any tags yet.

Open the ProxiPen / TopGuard Patrol software and go to the tour or configuration section.
Define each tour (for example: Tour 1, Tour 2, etc.). [web:34][web:35]
Using the ProxiPen, scan each large tag (A, B, C, D, E) as you assign them to the system.
Place the ProxiPen in the download/transfer unit (DTU) and upload the reads into the software.
In the software, replace the generic tag IDs (A, B, C, D, E) with meaningful names that match your map or tour plan.

Using the ProxiPen, scan the smaller station tags in order from 1 to 25.
Reserve tags 1–4 for patrolmen names if you want to assign specific personnel tags.
Place the ProxiPen in the DTU and upload the reads into the software.
In the software, rename each tag to match your station list and, if used, assign patrolmen names to tags 1–4.

Scan the tour tags that will act as the start points for each tour (for example, one of the large tags). [web:34][web:35]
Upload the reads into the software using the DTU.

Verify that all stations, personnel, and tours are correctly named and assigned in the software.
Mount the tags in their physical locations according to your map.
Perform a test tour by scanning a personnel tag (if used), the tour start tag, and then each station in order to confirm proper recording.
