Setup Note 2:
Some USB battery packs
may not power
the Tag correctly. The Tag
periodically goes into a sleep state before waking up to perform a two-way range and
returning to sleep. During sleep the current consumption may be too low to keep the USB
battery pack on and the battery may shut off. Not all battery packs turn off. For battery
packs that have a torch function the user can switch the torch function on to keep the battery
alive during the sleep state.

Setup Note 3:
The accuracy with which the Anchors are placed and the coordinates
measured has an impact on the accuracy of the system as a whole. It is recommended to
take care at this stage to ensure distances are measured correctly to ensure good
performance later.
7.2 Geo-Fencing Use Case
1. Configure the DIP switches on the 4 EVB1000 units
1
:
a. Set switch 1 to [ON]
b. Select a data rate with switch 2: 6.8 Mbps [ON], 110 kbps [OFF]
c. Select a channel with switch 3: Channel 5 [ON], Channel 2 [OFF]
d. Configure 3 units as Tags: switch 4 is [OFF]
e. Configure 1 unit as an Anchor: switch 4 is [ON]
f. Set the ID of the Anchor to 0: switches 5,6 & 7 [OFF]
g. Set the IDs of the Tags to 0, 1 & 2: switches 5,6,7 = [000, 001, 010]
h. Switch 8 is reserved so can be [ON] or [OFF]
2. Mount the Anchor
3. Power the Tags using one of the following methods:
a. USB power supply (not provided)
2
b. USB battery pack (not provided)
c. Connect to a PC (not provided)
d. Connect to a mobile battery (not provided) using the DC leads (provided)
4. Connect the PC to the Anchor
5. Wait for the start message to disappear and then the TREKs are ready (about 20 s)
6. Start the DecaRangeRTLS PC Application
a.
Check ‘Geo-Fencing Mode’ in the Configuration Tab of Settings
7. Enter the zone perimeters into the Configuration Tab
8.
Select ‘Alarm Inside’ or ‘Alarm Outside’
9. In Geo-Fencing mode the Tag is displayed as a circle as opposed to a true location
10.
As a Tag enters or leaves each of the zones (i.e. crosses a perimeter) the Tag’s
circle changes color from red to blue to green

Setup Note 1
: If the system does not operate as expected when the settings of any of the
DIP switches are changed it may be necessary to operate the switches a number of times.
They have been known to stick and not operate correctly. Toggling them a number of times
generally resolves the issue
