Notes for A762 Proximity Locator and Tag Deployment
If there is IR interference in a deployment area, the tag’s RF signal will not be affected but the IR location code will
not be received by the tag. To avoid any IR interference refer to the following notes:
• IR-enabled active tags are NOT designed to work outdoors. In direct sunlight, the IR tags will not detect the
A750 transmissions.
• Do not cover the IR sensor by wearing the badge under a jacket or in a pocket. This will affect the ability of
the tag to read A750 signals.
• A Room Locator’s transmissions can interfere with other Room Locators operating within the same location.
The A750 Room Locators have a team operating mode to allow multiple room locators to synchronize their IR
transmissions at unique times.
