commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
usage models to calculate the life of the active RFID Tags. Like all models there are assumptions and approximations involved. The values are to be taken as engineering estimates - not guaranteed performance. In most asset tag deployment scenarios, RF Code tags with a 10-second beacon rate have a useful life of 5-to-7 years. In most sensor tag deployment scenarios, RF Code tags will typically have a useful life of 3 or more years. Exposure to extreme temperatures for all tags will shorten the battery life.
Overview The A760 Proximity Locator is a wall-mounted unit used in conjunction with R142 Staff Badges to provide a method of locating people and correlating events within tightly-defined coverage areas. Each Proximity Locator transmits an RF pulse pattern containing a unique code when the attached switch is actuated by a door opening or other event.
A760 People/Event Correlation Process The A760 Proximity Locator works in conjunction with A750 Room Locators and R142 Staff Badge tags. A750 Room Locators are positioned to cover specific areas, such as rooms, closets or entire floors. The IRenabled R142 tags can report specific location data when it transmits its RF location payload to an RF Code reader. As a person moves from one room to another, their badge tag will transmit the location code it detected from the last seen A750.
Notes for A760 Proximity Locator and R142 Badge tag deployment If there is IR interference in a deployement area, the tag’s RF signal will not be affected but the IR location code will not be received by the tag. To avoid any IR interference refer to the following notes: • IR-enabled active tags are NOT designed to work outdoors. In direct sunlight, the IR tags will not detect the A750 transmissions. • Do not cover the IR sensor on the tag label. This will affect the ability of the tag to read A750 signals.
item. A window will appear. Click the Discover button. The utility will discover any A760’s that are connected to the PC. Select the device from the drop-down list and click the OK button. The A760 will display default values for Proximity Code and other settings set during manufacturing time. If the utility does not show any A760’s connected, unplug the USB cable to the device(s), wait 10 seconds and plug the USB cable back into the device. 3.
5. A760 Signal Strength Thresholds Combined Minimum For Immediate Success: this is a measurement of the combined signal strength detected between the badge tag and the Proximity Locator. When this number is exceeded by an A760/badge combination, the A760 will not do any more attempt/cycles and will immediately declare a “winner” (based on the strongest SSI or in the case of a tie, the first badge that responded).
