Versus Information System User Guide C. Terms and Definitions The following terms will be used throughout this hardware installation guide to refer to system components and modes of operation. Bridging Clip – A small metal clip used in a Punch-down Block to short the left-hand columns to the right hand columns of punch-down terminals.
Versus Information System User Guide Twisted Pair – The wire used to interconnect Sensors, Collectors, and interfaces is twisted into pairs to make the wire characteristics more uniform and to cancel out many types of interference to which the wires might be subjected (see UTP). USOC – Acronym for Universal Service Ordering Codes. The connectors and wiring adhere to the USOC wiring practices standard wherever possible. UTP – Acronym for Unshielded Twisted Pair.

Versus Information System User Guide IR Transmission Rate – approximately every 3 seconds while in motion, approximately every 2 minutes while in sleep mode RF Transmission Rate – 5 rapid transmissions immediately upon button press or approximately once every 2 minutes in supervisory mode XL Clearview Badges can be distinguished from standard, non-XL Clearview Badges by the product number printed on the back of the badge (e.g. VER-1952 denotes an XL Clearview Badge).
Versus Information System User Guide METAL AFFECTS RF FUNCTION The Asset Tag’s RF functions may be limited if the tag is affixed to metal— Versus recommends that the tag be used on non-metal surfaces or with a plastic bracket. b) IR/RF Mini Asset Tag (VER-188x) Like the Asset Tag, the Mini Asset Tag uses IR and RF technologies to identify the current location of portable assets. The smaller size of this tag make it suitable for smaller surface mounts. Battery Type – 3.
Versus Information System User Guide the identity of the badge tied to the initial event. The scan will last for under five seconds or until a badge or tag is identified. 4. Battery Type – one (1) AA 3.6V Lithium 2400 mAh RF Frequency – 433.9 MHz IR Wavelength – 875 nanometers Additional Signaling Device Supplies a) Clearview Badge Opening Tool (VER-6800) The optional Clearview Badge Opening Tool was specifically designed to make Clearview Badge and Asset Tag battery changes quick and easy.
Versus Information System User Guide B. V-DirectTM Sensory Network The Versus software reacts according to the badge and tag information it receives from the Versus hardware and sensory network. The hardware drives the data input and every software decision. For that reason, the success of a Versus system relies intrinsically on the accuracy of the sensory network.
Versus Information System User Guide a) V-Direct Infrared (IR) Sensors Infrared Sensors receive IR signals from badges and convert them into electrical signals. A single unshielded twisted-pair wire transmits the signals to a Collector and provides the Sensor’s operating power. IR Sensors have 360-degree horizontal coverage, 180-degree vertical coverage and reliably detect IR signals from a distance of approximately 15 feet.
Versus Information System User Guide Each cabinet contains an internal IR XL Sensor. The Sensor can be configured to prevent badges that are in the cabinet from displaying on Floorplan Views or List Views or to indicate those badges as “out of the area.” (3) Patient Badge Drop Box (VER-4446) Patient Badge Drop Boxes serve as convenient drop-off locations for Versus badges when the patients to which the badges are assigned are discharged.
Versus Information System User Guide b) V-Direct Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors (VER-4452) Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors operate at 433.92 MHz receive frequency. The Sensors convert encoded RF signals emitted by badges into electrical signals and transmit them to Collectors via a single unshielded, twisted-pair wire. Planning the location of RF Sensors depends upon the layout or the facility.
Versus Information System User Guide The 24V power supply for the Collector is also included, as well as a specialized cable and mounting supplies. ALLOW ROOM FOR EXPANSION The Versus Collector can support up to 24 Sensors. However, best practices suggest leaving open wire pairs (open positions) on the Collector punch-down block to allow for easy addition of extra Sensors or Badge Storage Cabinets.
Versus Information System User Guide A CD containing the current shipping version of the Versus V-Direct Locating Driver software and the accompanying user manual in .PDF format is included with each Ethernet Concentrator. The 24V power supply for the Ethernet Concentrator and mounting supplies for the device are included. C.
Versus Information System User Guide 1. V-Link Sensors (VER-5621) The V-Link Sensor receives IR signals from all standard Versus personnel badges and asset tags. Both eXtended life (XL) and non-XL badge technology is supported. The Sensor converts the IR signal information and communicates it to the Link Module over a wireless RF channel in the 2.4GHz spectrum, secured by an encryption algorithm.
Versus Information System User Guide The V-Link Sensor is the Infrared (IR) location element of the V-Link Sensory Network, and is installed in all areas where locating coverage is needed. Entirely wireless, battery-operated and easily-mounted, the Sensor receives IR signals from Versus badges and tags. Using patented, radio frequency (RF) signaling technology, the Sensor sends location data to the Links.
Versus Information System User Guide CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING LINK DEVICES Use caution when installing Link devices by plugging directly into AC wall receptacles, as follows: a) Risk of Electric Shock – Disconnect power to the receptacle before installing or removing the unit. When removing the receptacle cover screw, the cover may fall across plug pins or receptacle may become displaced. b) Use only with a duplex receptacle having a center screw. c) Secure unit in place by receptacle cover screw. 3.
