ETC Multi-purpose RFID Tag
Active RFID Solutions
Installation Notes
Elpas ETC Tags from Visonic Technologies are miniature, unified
active long-range Radio Frequency multi-purpose local positioning
(RFID) and infrared devices. ETC tags are designed for asset or
people idententification and tracking; or emergency and protection
signaling.
ETC tags are attached to an asset for tracking and monitoring. The
tags will generate an alarm if the asset is moved to a prohibited
location (such as an exit) or if an attempt is made to remove the
tag sfrom the asset.
ETC Tags transmits periodic RF based status messages at
433MHz as well as optional infrared signals. These signals are
received by Elpas readers installed throughout the indoor facility.
Eiris software is used to continuously monitor the location and
status of the tag.
Elpas LF Exciters transmit an RF based ID at 125KHz creating a
field 3 meters in radius. When an ETC enters the LF field, the tag
detects the LF message and transmits a special message
indicating its entry into the field. This feature is used to warn when
an attempt is made to remove an asset from its designated area.
Other special messages are transmitted when the tag's button is
pressed or when the tag is tampered with.

1. Remove the protective layer from the double-sided adhesive
on the back of the mounting bracket (Figure 1).
Figure 1: ETC Mounting Bracket (front view)
2. Carefully position the mounting bracket on the asset to be
tagged (narrow side on top, wider side at the bottom).
Note: It is recommended to place the ETC on light colored
surfaces. Dark surfaces may require the addition of a white
sticker placed between the surface and the tag.
3. Place the ETC 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).
4. To remove the tag from the mounting bracket, use a small
flat-head screwdriver to release the clip that holds the tag in
place (Figure 5).
5. To reattach the tag, repeat steps 3 and 4.

The ECT 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.
