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.
Battery Statement RF Code warrants all tags to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year. Based on the ratings and specifications from the battery manufacturers, RF Code develops 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.
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.
Utility Software Installation To install the Proximity Locator Utility insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and click on Install Proximity Locator Utility to begin. Alternatively, the Proximity Locator Utility can be installed directly by double clicking on the setup.exe file. This will launch the install wizard. Follow the prompts to install the utility.
4. Proximity Cycles Maximum Communication Attempts: after an event is detected via the reed switch, this is the number of times that the A760 attempts to communicate with a nearby badge tag. Note that setting this value too high may result is inaccurate reporting. That is, if the wall unit keeps trying to communicate with a badge after a detected event, then someone with a badge tag may walk within range and incorrectly get “credit” for the detected event.
are farther away from the wall unit. 6. Tag Signal Strength Thresholds Minimum At Tag To Compete: this is a measurement of the signal strength detected at the badge tag for it to be considered to be associated with an event. Setting this to a smaller value will consider badges that are farther away from the wall unit. Saving Device Configuration File: The Proximity Locator Utility allows saving a set of device settings for backup purposes.
