METAL AFFECTS RF FUNCTION
The Asset Tag’s RF functions may be limited if the tag is affixed to metal—
Versus recommends that the tag be used on non-metal surfaces or with
a plastic bracket.
b) IR/RF Mini Asset Tag (VER-188x)
Like the Asset Tag, the Mini Asset Tag uses IR and
RF technologies to identify the current location of
portable assets. The smaller size of this tag make it
suitable for smaller surface mounts.
 Battery Type – 3.0 V lithium coin cell
(industry type CR2477 lithium 950 mAH)
 RF Frequency – 433.9 MHz
 IR Wavelength – 875 nanometers

3. Event Tag (VER-352x)
The Event Tag monitors for an activity and notifies the Versus
system that a specific event has been initiated at that tag location.
Activity is determined via dry-contact closure from the on-board
motion detector, external switch source and/or passive infrared
motion detected in the vicinity of the tag. Upon detecting such an
event, the Event Tag scans the immediate vicinity for a Versus
RTLS Badge or Tag and, if detected, relays the identity of the
badge tied to the initial event, as follows:
 A dry-contact closure (DCC) switch activity (e.g., reed switch open on
crash cart)
 A motion switch activity (e.g., motion detection of fixed supply cabinet
door opening)
 A passive IR detector (e.g., hand movement under a dispenser)
When such an event is detected, the Event Tag relays the event information to
the Versus system. Additionally, upon detecting an event, the Event Tag scans
the immediate vicinity for a Versus RTLS Badge or Tag and, if detected, relays
