1. Introduction
This document is intended to be the source reference material for using the Smart
Tag product, with the exception of electronic configuration (including set-up and
interaction with the on-line monitoring portal). The emphasis here is upon
describing the physical features, charging, correct fitting and removal etc.
2. Equipment Description
a) Smart Tag- Ankle worn electronic monitoring device. One is required per subject.
b) Smart Tag Strap- For securing the Smart Tag to a subject. One is required per
subject, the strap is available in a number of sizes in order to accommodate
ankles.
c) On Body Charger- One is required per subject, for recharging the on-board
battery.
d) Locking Plate- Two Locking plates are required per Smart Tag. The locking plates
will be damaged upon removal of the Strap, therefore new locking plates must be
installed in the Smart Tag before it can be fitted to a new Subject.

e) Removal Tool- One is required to release the strap and remove the Smart Tag
from the subject. It punctures very small holes in a very controlled location on
the Locking Plates and releases the strap. Not shown above.
3. Smart Tag Fitting
The Smart Tag should be prepared for fitting to the subject by clipping two new
Locking Plates in position as shown below in red for clarity.
The Locking Pates will be secured in position when the Strap is inserted into the
Smart Tag, they protect the strap from being released without physical damage
being created for evidence gathering purposes.
Measure around the ankle, holding the measuring tape loosely. Record the measure
in millimetres (mm).
Using the strap sizing reference material select the strap size recommended for the
subjects ankle measurement.
Fit the Strap into the Smart Tag at one side, then wrap around the ankle of the
subject ensuring the arrow on the front surface is pointing upwards, and connect
the free end of the Strap into the Smart Tag. A clear ‘click’ will be heard as the Strap
securely engages inside the Smart Tag, it should be possible to slip two fingers
behind the strap to ensure enough movement for cleaning, charging and general
comfort.

The fitting of the strap will create a closed optical circuit which is continuously
monitored by the Smart Tag.
4. Smart Tag Operation
The Smart Tag communicates via GSM to a server based monitoring platform, which
interprets the data provided to populate a web portal user interface. The data sets
include the following:
• Event Time.
• GPS Location (Intervals can be defined, or a real-time request made).
• Geofence Data (Virtual zones for inclusion or exclusion set by map data).
• Position Type (GPS, RF Beacon).
• Speed of Motion.
• Battery Level.
• Charger On / Off.
• Signal Strength.
• Strap On / Off (Off includes tampering or cutting).
• Alerts (Based upon one or more of the above).
Alerts can take the form of notifications within the web portal, by e-mail, SMS to
mobile phone notifications or vibration feedback within the Smart Tag on the
subject.
When in proximity to an RF Beacon, the Smart Tag will not attempt to achieve new
GPS fixes, resulting in significantly less demand on battery power.
5. Smart Tag Removal
Note any obvious sign of damage to the Smart Tag, or Strap in accordance with
local protocol.
When removing the Smart Tag from a subject protective gloves should be worn.
Check that the locking plates are complete, correctly located and undamaged. If
locking plates are damaged, follow local protocol which may include cutting the
strap and retaining evidence if necessary.
With no locking plate damage, use the removal tool to release the strap at one
end.
Using the release tool, engage the plastic jaws over the Smart Tag and begin to
squeeze the handles together. The jaws will self-locate to the correct position
and the release pins will puncture the Locking Plate, continue to squeeze until
the Strap is released. Only one end of the Strap will be released, this is indicated
by the red markers on the end of the release pins.

6. On Body Charger
The Smart Tag on-board battery will require recharging at intervals consistent
with the operating mode being used. It is intended that the OBC is connected to
a mains power supply when not in use, to charge up the device in preparation
for connection to the Smart Tag, to fully charge the OBC it should be connected
for 4 hours.
In cases where the OBC has not been charged prior to use it is possible to attach
the unit to the Smart Tag with the OBC connected directly to the mains power
supply, however this is not recommended practice – although a break-away
extender cable is provided for such circumstances. The OBC will fully charge the
Smart Tag in less than 2 hours.
The equipment is attached to the Smart Tag for charging in a secure manner by
locating the OBC over the unit and closing the sliding clip, so as to allow free
movement of the wearer and continuous electrical contact. This only requires a
hand operated force which is deemed ‘reasonable’ and ‘convenient’ to the
wearer. The attachment clip is capable of being attached and removed
repeatedly, the number of cycles will comfortably exceed the lifetime of the
product. The mass of the OBC is 240g.
