Elpas Lone Worker Transmitter P/N: Honeywell Version User Guide www.elpas.com Page 1 of 4 V5/June 2013 Introduction The Elpas Lone Worker Transmitter is a commercial-grade Active RFID Tag that provides discreet around-the-clock wireless location based tracking of staff members. The Transmitter delivers precise real-time location data that identifies the individual in trouble and the location of the evolving security incident. This data is used by RTLS applications and security platforms for dispatching emergency response teams. The Transmitter includes two user programmable wireless emergency call buttons on either side of the unit for manual duress alerting. Pressing the both push buttons simultaneously will trigger the transmitter to emit a duress alert.

Elpas Lone Worker Transmitter – User Guide www.elpas.com Page 2 of 4 V5/June 2013 Initial Activation & Software Enrollment The Lone Worker Transmitter is shipped from the factory in Sleep Mode to conserve battery power during transit. 1. Prior to initial usage, remove the Activation Label and then press simultaneously both of the Tag’s emergency call push buttons for at least 7 seconds. This action serves as a means of Awakening the Transmitter from Sleep Mode as well as enrolling its unique factory installed ID Number (a six-digital hexadecimal value) into the Host RTLS Application. If the Enrollment process was successful the Transmitter’s Red LED Status Indicator will alight for 3 seconds. (Refer to your Eiris Configuration Guides for additional details.) Battery Replacement 1. Temporarily suspend usage of the Transmitter in the host RTLS application. 2. Place the transmitter on its right side. Remove the 2 screws that holds the battery cover to the body of the Transmitter 3. Utilize the pull tab to slide the battery out of the Transmitter from the battery Dispose of the used battery in accordance with local regulations. CAUTION! After removing the battery please wait at least 30 seconds before installing the replacement battery so as to not cause damage to the tag or to negatively affect the tag’s operational performance. 4. Before inserting a new battery into place, Place a new Battery Pull Tab onto the (+) positive side of the battery. 5. Slide the battery back into the transmitter. IMPORTANT! Ensure that the positive (+) side of the battery faces up and that the pull tab is fully accessible. 6. Close the side-cover such that the screw holes are correctly aligned. Tighten the 2 screws snugly into place. Do not over-tighten as this may strip the case threads. 7. Reactive the Transmitter in the Host RTLS Application. Safety Issues It is the responsibility of the system installer to ensure that the appropriate staff members are suitably trained in the usage and maintenance of the Lone Worker Transmitter. Additionally, Supervisory Alerts should be configured in the Host RTLS Application to notify staff members that the detection Transmitter is:  In a low battery condition or  Not properly transmitting location and status data. Note: The above configured Supervisory Alerts should be triggered periodically to ensure system integrity. Alert Testing Pressing either the left or right emergency call push-button individually will trigger the Lone Worker Transmitter to emit a Test Alert Message so that the host RTLS application can confirm that the unit is functioning properly.
