Introduction

The Elpas Asset Tracking Tag from Visonic Technologies (VT) is a

miniature, unified active long-range Radio Frequency (RFID) and

Infrared device designed for the real-time tracking of mobile assets or

people.

The tag’s all-in-one, dual technology transmitter continuously emits

low power, supervisory beacon type radio frequency (RF) messages

as well as safe, supplemental infra-red (IR) messages that identifies

the exact real-time location of assets or people with unparallel reliability

and precision. When attached to an asset; the tag automatically

transmits alert notifications for keeping personnel informed of

deliberate or accidental tampering and/or removal.

The tag’s onboard magnetic low frequency (LF) Receiver adds

chokepoint area detection so whenever the protected asset or person

physically nears an exit/entrance covered by an Elpas LF Exciter an

alarm notification is generated.

The Asset Tracking Tag also features an optional one-touch wireless

emergency call or duress alert functionality to ensure complete 24/7

personnel safety and supervision

Made of tough ABS thermoplastic, the Asset Tracking Tag withstands

severe physical shocks and drops, is water resistant and temperature

stable. Small in size and weight, the tag is easily affixed to an asset

using the *Equipment Clip worn as a necklace when attached to the

Pendent Clip with Lanyard or belt worn when used with the Belt Clip.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove the protective layer from the double-sided adhesive on

the back of the mounting bracket (Figure 1).

Figure 1:Front View - Mounting Bracket

2. Carefully position the mounting bracket on the asset to be tagged

(narrow side on top, wider side at the bottom).

Note: It is recommended to place the tag on light colored

surfaces. Dark surfaces may require the addition of a white

sticker placed between the surface and the tag.

3. Place the tag in the mounting bracket and click it into place such

that the wide/narrow sides correspond to the shape of mounting

bracket (Figures 2, 3 , 4 and 5).

4. To remove the tag from the mounting bracket, use a small

flat-head screwdriver to release the clip that holds the tag in place

(Figure 5).

5. To reattach the tag, repeat steps 3 and 4.

The tag should be positioned on the top right corner

of the latop lid. If the tag is attached towards the

center of the lid, the RF performance will be

significantly degraded, reducing the detection rangeof

the tag.
