BLE Trilateration
The iTAG X-Range contains a Bluetooth receiver that is capable of measuring the
received signal strength from BLE anchors. BLE anchors can be positioned around a
site to facilitate improved positional accuracy at a low infrastructure cost.
The anchor’s
identification, signal strength and battery voltage are transmitted in
the tag’s beacon
message. This information, along with any other location information, is used by the
location engine to enable more accurate positioning on the map.

Man Down
A motion sensor is incorporated into the iTAG X30 and iTAG X20 to improve power
management and to also provide an alert should a worker fall and be immobilised. The
tag’s processor features a proprietary algorithm to detect such a fall and after no
worker
movement for approximately 30 seconds beacons a Man Down alert. This alert can
be cancelled by purposefully double tapping the front cover. See X127637 for further
details.

Battery and battery life
The iTAG X-Range has a long lasting rechargeable lithium ion battery. Minimum
expected battery service life is 2 years.
3.11
Mounting
The iTAG X-Range comes complete with a stainless steel buckle clip which can clip to
PPE or be used with a lanyard.
3.12
Simple configuration
The iTAG X-Range
’s
firmware contains predefined configurations, which can be
activated quickly and easily using the TED (Extronics part number TED1000G2) and
the Extronics Device Manager or Tag Manager BD (TMBD).
3.13
Motion sensor
The iTAG X-Range contains an on-board motion sensor. When the iTAG X-Range is
configured to a profile which utilises the motion sensor it will enable different
transmission intervals whether it is stationary or in motion, reducing unnecessary
network traffic and conserving the battery.
3.14
Integrated access control
The iTAG X-Range minimises the number of ancillary products being carried by using
integrated access control to gain site access. This easily identifies workers using the
Photo ID which is visible on the front.
