6.  Slide the PTX Sleeve over the PTX Retaining Pin. The PTX Sleeve will click when properly 

secured.  

 

NOTE: The PTX Retaining Pin is 
Tamper-Evident. Once inserted, they 
cannot be removed without damaging 
the two barbed vanes on the tip of the 
PTX Retaining Pin. 

7.  Without inserting the other end of the PTX Band, wrap the PTX around the participant's ankle 

until snug.  

NOTE: Although the PTX can be installed on the ankle or wrist, we strongly recommend Ankle 
Placement of PTX whenever possible. If Wrist Placement is chosen, check the compressed hand 
size versus wrist size. If they are close in size, this necessitates PTX placement on the ankle. 

8.  Take note of the line on the PTX Band that is closest to the edge of the face of the PTX. 

 

NOTE: In order to ensure that the band is not too tight, we 
recommend allowing an additional notch when making the 
initial cut as it can be shortened if necessary, but not 
lengthened. 

 

9.  Use the Cutting and Alignment Tool to cut the PTX Band to size. 

10.  Check the fit of the PTX Band by wrapping the PTX around the participant's ankle and fully 

inserting the end of the PTX Band into the PTX housing. It is important that the PTX not be 
completely installed on the participant at this point, in case the PTX Band needs to be resized. 

NOTE: In order to ensure proper operation of tamper detections, secure fitting of the PTX is 
crucial. The PTX and Band must fit snug, but not so tight as to cause discomfort. When checking 
the fit on the ankle, ask the participant to stand and re-check the PTX Band. A proper fit requires 
a 1/8 to a 1/4 inch slack when the PTX Band is pulled away from the participant. 

11.  Once the appropriate fit is established, remove the PTX from the participant. 

NOTE: G4S Justice Services recommends practicing this process prior to proceeding with an 
actual installation on a participant.
