4.3 Power Down
After the Location Anchor has been configured, turn power off to the electronics by moving the
power switch to off and reinstall the cover. Power should only be turned back on when the
Anchor is ready for commissioning.

5.1 Considerations
5.1.1 General
The Emerson™ Location Awareness solution is comprised of the Emerson Location Tag,
Emerson Location Anchor, Emerson Gateways, and Plantweb Insight Location application.
Emerson™ Location Awareness provides the user with safety-focused monitoring of their most
valued resource - their people. Rechargeable, battery-operated Personnel Tags communicate
with WirelessHART® Anchors, creating visibility in the most remote and hazardous areas of the
facility for better personnel safety and security. The Plantweb™ Insight Location application
provides a streamlined, user interface that manages geofencing, safety mustering, and user
assisted safety alerts, helping the user digitally transform their facility's safety.
5.1.2 Wireless Considerations
Power-Up Sequence
The Wireless Gateway should be installed and functioning properly before any wireless devices
are powered. Battery is already installed in the Location Anchor. Move power switch to “ON”
position to power up. This results in a simpler and faster network configuration. Enabling Active
Advertising on the Gateway ensures new devices are able to join the network faster. For more
information, see the Smart Wireless Gateway Reference Manual .
Antenna Position
The antenna is internal to the Location Anchor. To achieve optimal range and performance,
position the Location Anchor with the stem in a horizontal position as shown in Figure 5-1 . Good
connectivity can also be achieved in other orientations. The antenna should also be
approximately 1 m (3 ft.) from any large structure, building, or conductive surface, and a
minimum of 2 m (6 ft) and maximum of 4 m (13 ft) from the ground to allow for clear
communication to other devices. Refer to best practices for additional information on optimal
mounting locations of the Location Anchor.
Recommended Practices
When mounting the Location Anchor, recommended practices should be considered to achieve
the best wireless performance. See Appendix C: Recommended Practices for more information
on recommended practices.
