Introduction
The Elpas Active Identity Badge is
an ultra-low power, unified, long-
range active Radio Frequency
(RFID) and Infrared device.
Designed to resemble an industry-
standard photo ID badge, the
device is intended primarily for
protecting those staff members
and lone workers most at risk from
patient violence and aggression in
both interior and/or exterior areas.
The unique form factor of the badge makes it usable as a clip-on
photo ID personnel badge. Or, when inserted into its matching card
holder (sold separately) the device may be bundled with any
standard credit-card size access control card; and user worn either
horizontally (landscape format) or vertically (portrait format).
The badge's, dual technology
transmitter continuously emits, low-
power UHF (433.92MHz) long-
distance beacon type omni-
directional radio frequency (RF)
transmissions plus optional infra-red
(IR) messaging for indoor tracking
to sub-room level precision.
The Active Identity Badge features two one-touch fully customizable
emergency/duress signaling buttons for ensuring complete, around-
the-clock staff and visitor supervision. The badge’s onboard
magnetic low frequency (LF) receiver (125 KHz) also adds
chokepoint type area detection so whenever a badge wearer nears a
protected exit/entrance covered by an Elpas LF Exciter any number
of user definable alerts or alarms may be triggered. Optionally, the
badge is designed for use as an electronic proximity key for doors
protected by VisAccess Tag-In-A-Bag, AXS-10, AXS-100/200
systems or other third-party EM 4100 compliant or Wiegand 26-bit
compatible access control solutions.
Small in size (5cm/2in x 8.3cm/3.27in x 0.9cm/0.35in) and weight
(32g/1.2oz) the Active Identity Badge is housed in an epoxy potted,
IP66 rated, weatherproof black thermoplastic outer casing. Powered
by a single, replaceable lithium long life battery (five-year estimated
usage), the badge’s power efficient design ensures years of
maintenance free deployments in harsh indoor and outdoor
environments such as manufacturing operations, medical facilities or
maximum security correctional institutions.
Supported Event Transmissions
Active Identity Badges supports LF, Battery, Motion, Motionless, Exit from
LF and two discrete Button Press events; designated B1 and B2.
Each event is transmitted as a burst of 4 messages. Should 1 event
interrupt another, then the first event burst will end after a minimum of two
messages.
The entry to LF event messages contain the ID of the LF Exciter.
IMPORTANT: The badge does not support simultaneous press of B1 and
B2.

Attaching a Paper Photo ID to the Badge
1. Ensure that the photo ID
paper label is trimmed
properly so that it lies
flatly (picture/text side up)
in the recessed
area on the front of
the badge.
2. Peel off the clear
protective layer on
the font and rear of
the label cover
(P/T: 5-PBA90004).
3. Finally, remove the label cover’s adhesive backing and carefully
place it (adhesive edge down) onto the badge so that it neatly holds
the paper label correctly in place.
Battery Replacement
1. Place the badge back cover side up on a clear dry level surface.
Using a Phillips-type screwdriver that fits the battery cover
screws, unscrew the 4 screws that holds the battery cover in
place.
2. Separate the battery cover from the back of the badge by
inserting a small screw driver into either of the square slots
adjacent to the battery cover. Gently lever the screw driver
outwards until the battery cover releases from the badge.
3. Remove the worn-out battery from the badge and dispose of it
according to manufacture’s instructions.
4. Insert a new battery (P/T: 5-PBA90003) into the compartment,
ensuring that that the positive (+) side of the battery faces up.
5. Align the battery cover so that its flat edge fits correctly into the
badge’s back cover prior to seating the cover into place.
6. Once the battery cover is in place, tighten its 4 screws
into place.
