Overview 4
Overview
The T22 Bi-directional Asset Tag is a component of AeroScout Industrial's suite of
enterprise visibility solutions for location-based applications. The T22 Tag adds further
flexibility and scalability to track assets across a wide variety of applications.
Once deployed, the tag uses its bi-directional functionality to receive firmware and
configuration updates from MobileView. This removes the need to manually collect,
update and re-deploy tags in the field.
Figure 1: T22 Asset Tag
T22 Asset Tag User Guide
T22 Tag Features 5
T22 Tag Features
Beaconing and Bi-directional Communication
The T22 Tag utilizes lightweight beaconing communication (for standard messages) and
bi-directional Wi-Fi communication with full network association and authentication (for
FW and configuration upgrades). This unique combination provides a flexible and scalable
solution for advanced applications. The tag can operate with up to four different network
SSIDs in a secure or non-secure mode and is able to store up to two network IPs. The tag
also supports both static IP configuration and DHCP.
Long Battery Life
The tag has a user replaceable battery that provides up to 12 years battery life. The tag is
able to report its battery level to MobileView. The T22 Tag also has a motion sensor to
conserve battery life when the tag is not in motion.
In addition, to prevent battery drainage and extend battery life, tags leave the factory in
Dormant state. This prevents them from being activated inadvertently. Dormant tags react
only to the Tag Activator's Exit Dormant command, after which they can be configured
and activated.
Note
Battery life depends on tag configuration, usage profile, and environment
conditions.
For deployment specific battery life expectancy, consult with your
AeroScout Industrial sales representative.
Egress Point Detection
When combined with AeroScout Exciters, the T22 Tag provides instant notification when a
tagged asset passes through an egress point, such as a gate, doorway or other tightly
defined area. Additionally the tag’s behavior can be automatically modified while passing
through an egress point, such as activating / deactivating the tag, or changing the tag’s
transmission rates to accommodate different usage scenarios.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide
Mounting the Tag 6
Rugged Performance
The T22 Tag enclosure is designed for durability against significant impacts and is water
and dust resistant. For information regarding chemical resistance, see Appendix A:
Chemicals Compatibility.
Visual Indication
The T22 Tags include a dual-color LED which enables visual indication of tag operation.
Tag Management
T22 Tags are easily configured and activated wirelessly via the Tag Manager BD
application and a Tag Activator device. The tags can then be reprogrammed using bi-
directional communication via MobileView.
Mounting the Tag
The main way to mount the T22 is by using four M4 screws in the proper holes.
The T22 can also be mounted using tie wraps, either vertically or horizontally via the
accompanying slots on each opposite side. See the following picture:
T22 Asset Tag User Guide
Mounting the Tag 7
Figure 2: T22 Mounting
Reusing T2EB mounting holes
When replacing a T2EB, the T22 adapter plate can be used to avoid additional mounting
holes in the asset.
To mount the tag:
1. Mount the adapter plate to the existing T2EB mounting holes
2. Screw the tag to the adapter plate using the screws provided with the adapter
plate.
Figure 3: T22 Adapter plate
Mounting with an Adapter Plate
The adapter plate also allows you to fix the tag on surfaces where it cannot be attached
using straps or screws, such as metal cages.
To mount the tag:
1. Place the tag on one side of the cage and the adapter plate on the opposite side.
2. Attach the tag to the adapter plate using screws or tie wraps while the cage bars
are placed in between them.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide
Tag Management 8
Tag Management
T22 Bi-directional Asset Tags firmware contains up to 10 pre-defined sets of parameters.
Each parameter set is called a static configuration and has a unique number. Static
configurations cannot be edited. Only one (1) configuration can be selected and used for
the tag at any given time.
Configuring and Updating Tags
T22 Tags must be initially configured using the TMBD application before use (Tag
Manager Bi-directional application). The TMBD application allows you to activate and
configure the tags according to your sites infrastructure.
Once the tags have been initially configured using the TMBD application, future
configurations can then be done via MobileView.
For more details on configuring and updating the tags, see the Tag Manager BD User
Guide.
Updating Tag Firmware and Configuration
MobileView supports the option to update the T22 Tag configuration and firmware over
the air (wirelessly). A group of tags or tags associated to a specific category can be
configured simultaneously.
For more details see the MobileView Administration Guide.
Tag LED Indications
T22 Tags include a dual-color LED (red and green) for visual indications. These
indications are described in the table below.

Tag Battery Life
The T22 Tag uses a battery pack consisting of two 3.6V Lithium batteries. The battery can
last up to 12 years depending on the configured tag parameters (e.g. the transmission
interval rate).
Note
The tag’s battery life is significantly reduced if used in extremely low
temperatures (below -20 °C, -4°F).
Approved Batteries
Only an approved AeroScout Battery pack must be used (Able ER14505M*2-45-24-2C).
Replacing the Battery Pack
To replace a battery pack:
1. Using a Torx screwdriver, remove the tag casing by unscrewing the four M3 Torx case
screws.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide
Tag Maintenance 10
2. Gently pull the tag casing apart from the main body.
3. Disconnect the wires from the back panel.
4. Remove the disconnected battery pack from the battery holder.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide
Tag Maintenance 11
5. Place a new battery pack in the battery holder, and connect the wires.
6. Close and re-screw the panel to the tag casing.
Note
For accurate battery prediction, make sure new batteries are used.
In order to have an accurate battery prediction in MobileView the tag
battery counters mechanism needs to be reset after every battery change.
The counters can be reset either through the Tag Manager BD, MobileView
or the MTA application. For more information see the relevant system
documentation.
WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type! Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions!
ATTENTION: Risque d'explosion si la pile est remplacée par un type
incorrect! Se débarrasser des piles usagées selon les instructions!
