6 | T3-BD Tag Features
Audio Visual Indications
The tag includes 2 LED’s in 3 colors, a buzzer and a vibrator. These audio
visual indicators can be activated from the network to provide the
acknowledgement response in the tag as mentioned in the previous clause.
Flexible Mounting and Usage Options
The tag is supplied with a variety of mounting options. It can be mounted
on flat hard surfaces using special holes for screws, adhesive tape or Velcro.
It can be mounted on cylindrical forms (such as poles) using tie-wraps. It
can be hanged on a pocket using a badge clip, or on the carrier’s neck using
a band. An optional cradle is also available, enabling the indirect mounting
of the tag on various assets.
Call Buttons
T3-BD tags include two call buttons, a large one and a small one, that can
be configured to send standard tag messages when the buttons are pressed
or released.
The tag can be configured to send different data depending on how the
buttons are pressed: different messages can be associated with a long push
of the buttons and with short, successive pushes.
Each call button can be configured to serve a different purpose according
to the organization’s needs.
Optional Tamper-Proof Design
The T3-BD tag is equipped with an optional anti-tampering switch located
at the back of the device. When the tag is pressed against a surface and
fixed on it, the switch is depressed. The removal of the fixed releases the
switch and causes the tag to send a message to the system. Users can
interpret the message according to their needs.
Motion Sensing
T3-BD tags are shipped with on-board motion sensors that report when it
starts to move and whether it is in motion or not. The motion sensor can be
used to define tag behavior when in motion or when it is stationary.
Temperature Sensing
T3-BD tags can optionally be equipped with temperature sensors that can
report the temperature measured in the vicinity of the tag or whether it is
within a given range (above, below, between).
Long Battery Life
A powerful, replaceable battery provides power for a period of up to 4 years
(depending on the tag’s transmission interval, operating temperature and
number of times a day it associates with the network). The tag periodically
provides a report on the battery level so that when the battery level runs
low, it can be replaced efficiently with minimum down time. Replacing the
battery is simple and done using a special battery compartment removal
