IsoLynx Tracking Tag - 2AHCQ-IL0302 3
Introduction
The IsoLynx Tracking Tag (IL0302) is a small, battery-powered RFID device that produces ultra-
wideband pulses that are used to generate real-time location and movement data. IsoLynx tags are
fixed to athletes, equipment, and other objects of interest and transmit UWB "pings" to reference
nodes placed around the venue. Its small size and low power consumption make the IsoLynx tag an
ideal UWB tracking apparatus for large venues and multiplayer sporting events. The IsoLynx tags also
allow for remote activation, easy attachment/removal, convenient USB charging, and have an onboard
LED indicator for real-time feedback of tag state.

Hardware & Specifications
IsoLynx Tracking Tags
The battery-powered tracking tags transmit UWB pings at up to 80Hz to allow for real-time location
calculation. Tag pulse rates can be programmed for rates between 0.1Hz and 80Hz depending on their
use or the number of other active tags in the venue. Tags remain in sleep mode when not in use and
can be activated or deactivated remotely by using a master reference node.

Charging the IsoLynx Tags
To ensure reliability and longevity, all tags should be fully charged before and after their use. The tags
can be charged quickly using the charging dock and any compatible USB power station. Charging
takes approximately 2-3 hours.
1. Secure the tag inside the charging dock so the metal pins on both devices are aligned.
2. Plug the charging dock into any compatible USB power source.
3. The tag’s LED displays Blue + Solid Red when actively charging. The LED displays Blue +
Blinking Red when the tag is completely charged.
Mounting On American Football Shoulder Pads
One use for IsoLynx Tracking Tags is collecting data from American football games. The steps below
detail how the tags should be attached to a set of shoulder pads. Ideally, each set of pads will contain
two tracking tags—one on each shoulder.
1. Feed two plastic zip ties through the guide holes on the top of the tag.
2. Find a location within the shoulder pads where the ties can be securely fastened.
3. Ensure the tag stays upright and the arrow faces the front of the pads for proper orientation.
4. Pull the zip ties tightly and cut the excess ends to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.
5. Ensure the tag is fastened securely to prevent it from coming loose during game-play.

Removing the Player Tracking Tags
The IsoLynx tags are designed to be easily removed and powered-down after use. To remove the
IsoLynx tags after a game, complete the following steps:
1. Detach the player tracking tags from the athlete pads/jersey. This may require a pair of scissors
depending on how they were attached before the game.
2. Recharge the batteries while inactive to prepare for the next use
3. Inspect all the hardware for visible damage before storing the system away after an event.
