Introduction
The Elpas Asset Tracking Tag from Visonic Technologies (VT) is a
miniature, unified active long-range Radio Frequency (RFID) and
Infrared device designed for the real-time tracking of mobile assets or
people.
The tag’s all-in-one, dual technology transmitter continuously emits
low power, supervisory beacon type radio frequency (RF) messages
as well as safe, supplemental infra-red (IR) messages that identifies
the exact real-time location of assets or people with unparallel reliability
and precision. When attached to an asset; the tag automatically
transmits alert notifications for keeping personnel informed of
deliberate or accidental tampering and/or removal.
The tag’s onboard magnetic low frequency (LF) Receiver adds
chokepoint area detection so whenever the protected asset or person
physically nears an exit/entrance covered by an Elpas LF Exciter an
alarm notification is generated.
The Asset Tracking Tag also features an optional one-touch wireless
emergency call or duress alert functionality to ensure complete 24/7
personnel safety and supervision
Made of tough ABS thermoplastic, the Asset Tracking Tag withstands
severe physical shocks and drops, is water resistant and temperature
stable. Small in size and weight, the tag is easily affixed to an asset
using the *Equipment Clip worn as a necklace when attached to the
Pendent Clip with Lanyard or belt worn when used with the Belt Clip.

Note: It is recommended to place the tag on light colored
surfaces. Dark surfaces may require the addition of a white
sticker placed between the surface and the tag.

Figure 4: Attaching Tag
to Mounting Bracket
Carefully position the mounting bracket on the asset to be tagged
(narrow side on top, wider side at the bottom).

(button press / transmission)
Place the tag in the mounting bracket and click it into place such
that the wide/narrow sides correspond to the shape of mounting
bracket (Figures 2, 3 , 4 and 5).

The tag should be positioned on the top right corner
of the latop lid. If the tag is attached towards the
center of the lid, the RF performance will be
significantly degraded, reducing the detection rangeof
the tag.

Asset Tracking Tag – User Guide
Event Transmission
The Asset Tracking Tag has Button Press and Tamper inputs;
designated B1 and B2 respectively:
B1 – Monitors press/ release button activity
B2 – Monitors tamper functionality
Event Transmission in LF Zone
LF Response Time: The onboard LF receiver activates every 0.6 sec
to check if the tag is in a LF zone. Reciever is activated every 15
seconds when tag is stationary.
For Tamper:
The Tracking Tag reports the state of the tamper sensor on B2. When
Tamper is detected (detached), B2=1. When attached, B2=0. An
EVENT message is transmitted when there is a change from attached
to detached or vice versa. When there is a change from attached to
detached (i.e. tampering), then there is a transmission of EVENT of 4
messages, 500 ms apart and B2=1. When attached, there is a
transmission of EVENT of 4 messages, 500 ms apart and B2=0.
Transmission Rate: Continuous bursts of 4 IR/RF transmissions
(each transmission about 2ms in duration), at 0.4 second intervals.
Continues at 2 second interval while in LF field. Additional burst of 4
messages are transmitted when tag exits LF field.
In the steady state, the B2 bit provides the status of the tamper sensor
(if the equipment tag stays attached, B2=0, if stays detached, B2=1).
For Button Press / Release:
After button press, 4 messages are transmitted (each message about
2ms in duration), 500 ms apart, with B1=1. When the button is
released, B1=0.
An additional 4 messages (each message about 2ms in duration) are
transmitted 400 ms apart. In the steady state (no button press / button
release) B1=0.
Battery Replacement
1.
Suspend usage of the Tracking Tag using the EIRIS
software.
2.
Remove the tag from the mounting bracket using a small
flat-head screwdriver to release the clip that holds the tag in
place (Para 3, Figure 5).
3.
Unscrew the 4 screws situated at the back of the tag and
remove the back cover from the (Figures 1 and 2).

5.
Before inserting a new battery into place, position the
battery Isolator such that the holes are aligned with the
contact pins (Figure 3).
6.
Replace the battery ensuring that the positive (+) side of the
battery faces the PCB.
7.
Close the back cover such that the screw holes are
correctly aligned. Tighten the 4 screws snugly into place
(toqued between 25-28 cN.m). Do not over-tightenas this
may strip the case threads.
