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.

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.
