Introduction The 2106 Tag is for use in active real time location. It contains two transmitters and two antennas to improve signal reception from a monitored item that can be in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. The 2106 Tag is small, durable, and requires no maintenance since it is a sealed unit and has a long battery life. It has been certified by U.S. FCC to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules subject to the conditions listed under the Regulatory Notice on pages 3 and 4 of this manual.
Overview Background Tag tracking is accomplished by analyzing time-differences-of-arrival (TDOAs) of tag transmissions. When a tag transmits a packet, PLUS ® Sensors that successfully receive the packet will send out information concerning the tag packet, including a precise timestamp. The difference in the timestamp between sensors gives the TDOA for that sensor pair/tag combination. At least three sensors must hear a tag in order to determine a valid position for that tag.
Specifications Dimensions (H x W x D) 108 x 46 x 10.75 millimeters 4.252 x 1.811 x 0.423 inches Weight 37 g (1.3 oz.
Mounting The recommended method of attaching the 2106 Tag to clothing or equipment is by a hook-and-loop fastener patch on the back of the tag. The following is the recommended attachment for the hook-and-loop fastener to the tag and clothing or equipment (Use fastener material long and wide enough to ensure a secure attachment to all affected items).
