3-8 Tags & TAD LC 1200 Manual
Accutech systems respond to RF signals
generated by the Tags. When an active Tag
enters a monitored zone, the zone detects the
Tag signal and takes the appropriate response
action. A TAD is like a mini zone. It can detect
an active Tag signal. Although not as powerful
as an actual monitored zone, a TAD can be
useful in locating active lost Tags.
In order for a TAD to detect a lost Tag, the Tag
has to be active and be in the range of a
monitored zone.
To locate an active lost Tag, use the following
instructions:
1. Turn on the TAD and observe the
“Signal Strength” LEDs as you slowly
wave the TAD side to side in front of
you. Their intensity will change as you
get closer or farther away from the
active lost Tag.
NOTE:
Initially as you search the zone you will
get the Signal Strength LED(s) to blink
once or twice. Search the zone slowly in
a systematic pattern until both LEDs are
illuminated. When searching remember
to check the backsides of walls and
doors.
2. The “Signal Strength” LEDs of the TAD
indicate*:
 Left LED - Tag in Area
(within approximately 2 feet**)
 Right LED - Tag is Very Near
(within approximately 6
inches*)
*Inexact due to variations of
the remaining Tag battery
power, remaining TAD battery
power, and if the Tag is
alarming in Band Removal.
**For a Tag to be detected by the TAD at this
range the Tag must be being activated by
another source such as at a monitored zone since
the TAD is not strong enough to activate Tags
by itself at this range.
***Furthermore, it is helpful to turn off the zone
when searching for the lost Tag. Notify staff and
security when you do this. Leaving the zone
turned on can mislead your search since the
TAD will detect the zone’s signal as well as the
Tag’s signal.
