Specific parts or service requests may be assigned to individual WhereCall IIII devices so that users may indicate which item is needed. For example, an assembly worker using several parts: Each part is associated with a separate WhereCall III device located in the workstation. By pressing the green button on the WhereCall III device, a radio signal is sent by the WhereCall System to the computer system in the supply area, indicating which workstation requires the specified part or service. There WhereCall III also operates in an optional “switch mode”. This mode can be used to indicate a status; the display will blink either “-ON” or “–OFF” and will toggle each time the button is pressed. To insure that the WhereCall system is in constant operation, real-time monitoring using an “I’m Still Alive” blinking transmission advises the system supervisor of the status of each WhereCall III device. WhereCall III devices may be individually labeled for identification by applying a user-supplied label to the recessed area on the front panel below the green button. The WhereCall III may be mounted in a work area with removable fasteners, doublesided foam tape or with mounting brackets and screws. Overhead installation is also possible by using cable mounting (Refer to Section 3, Installation and Mounting). ___________________________________________________________________________ 7 WhereCall III User Guide © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2006 WhereNet Confidential D1157 rev A ___________________________________________________________________________ User Guide COMPONENTS The WhereCall System consists of four major components: the WhereCall III device; a location antenna; a location processor and a WhereNet computer server. This document details only the WhereCall III device. The WhereCall III is a palm-sized device approximately 3 inches by 5 inches, 1 inch thick, in a yellow and gray colored case. A green colored actuator button is in the center of the device. A liquid crystal display (LCD) screen is located above the button. The WhereNet Location Antenna receives radio signals from the WhereCall III device when the work station user sends a call requesting parts by pressing the green button on the WhereCall III. These signals are transferred by cable to the WhereNet Location Processor. The WhereNet Location Processor converts signals from the antenna(s) and sends them to the WhereNet computer server. A message is generated by the server and sent to the user’s computer system indicating that a part is needed at the location of the WhereCall III device. If necessary, the WhereWand hand-held communicator allows the WhereNet technician to configure the WhereCall III device. ___________________________________________________________________________ 8 WhereCall III User Guide © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2006 WhereNet Confidential D1157 rev A ___________________________________________________________________________ User Guide INSTALLATION & MOUNTING The WhereCall III may be mounted in a work area with removable fasteners, doublecoated foam tape, hanging brackets, or with mounting screws. Overhead installation is also possible using cable mounting. Each WhereCall III must be mounted in a location to provide an unobstructed view in at least one direction. To maintain communication with the Location Antennas, do not install the WhereCall III inside a metal enclosure such as a metal cabinet. 3.1 Poly-Lock A plastic, adhesive-backed fastener, Poly-Lock uses mushroom-shaped contact points that overlap and snap together, forming a strong attachment that can be separated by a forceful pull.

These messages can range from a call for parts for line side material replenishment to a request for supervisor assistance. There are three modes of operation, Button or Call, Switch, and OFF. The WhereCall III is shipped in the “OFF” mode. In button or Call mode the WhereCall III can be used for parts call and other operations that do not require an indication as to whether the request was completed. In this mode, the operator presses the button to send the request message. The display on the WhereCall III will flash the word “CALL” for one minute and then start to count up in minutes since the call was made. This lets the operator easily verify how long it has been since they made their request. In the button mode the WhereCall III will transmit “switch ID 0”. To turn the WhereCall III on when it is “OFF” (the display will show non blinking OFF). Press the button once and the tag will resume operation in either the Call mode or the Switch mode depending on the mode it was in when the off mode was selected. In switch mode, the display toggles between “-ON” and “-OFF”. The normal starting state is “-OFF”. If the operator presses the button, then the WhereCall will send a message signaling the change in state and the display will change to “ON” and transmit “Switch ID 1”. The next button press will cause a new message to be sent signaling the change of state and the display will change back to “-OFF” and transmit “Switch ID 0”. In the switch mode the WhereCall III will send multiple transmissions; at 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 90, 150 minute intervals and then every hour after that. To change modes between Call mode and Switch mode or visa versa; press and hold the button until the display indicates either “b ?” or “S ?”. (Do not release the button while the display shows “8888” rather continue to keep the button depressed.) When either of these is displayed immediately release the button then press and release it again within five seconds; this will change the operational mode. ___________________________________________________________________________ 18 WhereCall III User Guide © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2006 WhereNet Confidential D1157 rev A ___________________________________________________________________________ User Guide To turn the tag to the OFF mode from either Call mode or Switch mode. Press and hold the button until the display shows 8888. Then release the button the display will indicate a four digit number for a few seconds and then show OFF. The WhereCall III is now OFF and all transmissions are disabled. These messages are displayed on the WhereCall III’s LCD display. The display has large characters so that it can be read from distances up to 10 feet away. The sturdy push-button is recessed to prevent accidental presses. A variant of WhereCall III, the WhereCall III PLC, provides for automated call requests by replacing the call button with a sealed connector that can be interfaced to intelligent shop floor equipment. The WhereCall III provides long battery life, typically in excess of 5 years. Additionally, the batteries are replaceable providing a long product life. ___________________________________________________________________________ 19 WhereCall III User Guide © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2006 WhereNet Confidential D1157 rev A ___________________________________________________________________________ User Guide Display Message Display Meaning Keep Alive Blinks “CALL” (blinking) Button blinks are being transmitted.
