Tag and Band Maintenance
Testing Tags
Accutech Tags operate by internal battery.
Over the course of normal operation, Tags
eventually lose battery power and the Tags
will need to be replaced. The Tag battery is
not replaceable. For maximum protection of
residents or assets, Accutech recommends
that Tags be tested on a weekly basis. There
are many ways that you can test Tags:
 Enter a monitored zone
(Software will report.)
 With a S-TAD
 The Keypad’s Auxiliary LED
(Yellow) will light when a Tag is
detected (Optional; additional wire
required).
 Check Visual Pulse LED if present
Cleaning Tags
All Tags are reusable but they must
be
cleaned and sanitized between applications.
In long-term applications, periodically
replace the bands and clean the Tags. There
are a few methods that can be used to clean
and sanitize Tags:
HOWEVER, DO NOT:
 DO NOT submerge Tags in water
 DO NOT soak Tags in water
 DO NOT submerge Tags in cleaning
solutions
 DO NOT soak Tags in cleaning
solutions
 DO NOT use solvents
 DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or cloths
 DO NOT put Tags in an AutoClave
 DO NOT put Tags in a dishwasher
 DO NOT steam clean Tags
 DO NOT put Tags in a washing
machine or dryer
Acceptable Tag Cleaning Methods:
 Wipe down with 3% hydrogen
peroxide with water solution then
rinse with a water-dampened cloth
towel and wipe dry. (wipe only,
DO NOT soak, submerge or place
under running water)
 Wipe down with isopropyl alcohol
wipes then rinse with a
water-dampened cloth towel and
wipe dry. (wipe only, DO NOT
soak, submerge or place under
running water)
Cleaning Bands
All Tag bands are for one-time use only. For
cleanliness and sanitary reasons, Accutech
recommends replacing applied bands on a
semi-monthly basis with a maximum of one
month between changes
.
Storing Tags
To preserve battery life, Tags must be
turned off with an S-TAD during storage or
periods of non-use. In addition, Tags should
be stored away from sources of electrical
noise (
see example list below) and stored in a
clean plastic container with lid.
Do not
store Tags within 3 feet of any of the
following sources of electrical noise:
 Computer monitors
 Unshielded computer cables
 Television sets
 Medical Monitoring Equipment
 X-ray and other imaging equipment
 Fluorescent Lighting
Storing Bands
Extra Tag bands should be stored in clean
and dry environment.
