Alarming Band Transmitters
Alarming band transmitters are placed on the ankle or wrist of a patient or affixed to an asset. The transmitter
becomes active once the banding material remains connected on both sides with banding material in place for 60
seconds. The 60-second window exists to allow for proper adjustment of the banding material.
After one minute, the transmitter ID is displayed in the Event List and information of the patient or asset wearing
the transmitter can be associated with the transmitter using the Admit or Auto-Enroll function. Alarming band
transmitters can be supervised. If a transmitter is configured for Supervision, and fails to regularly communicate to
the system, a Check Transmitter alarm will result in the Event List at the computer. For more information about
securing, cleaning, and troubleshooting transmitters, see the appropriate Transmitter User Guide.
Asset Tracking
Alarming band transmitters can be used for asset management. When an alarming band transmitter is attached to
an asset and admitted using the Add Asset admit function, Blue alarms are generated and appear in the Event List
when an attempt is made to remove the assets from an Exit Zone or the band is tampered with or cut.
