Quantum RTLS Universal Device Manual
4 OPERATION
The QTM-UAR10/QTM-UMR10 will be pre-configured with the rest of the Quantum RTLS system and
should only be communicated with via. Gateway device unless otherwise specified by a ZeroKey support
member.
4.1 QTM-UAR10
In Quantum RTLS, the anchor unit performs as one of many reference nodes in the RTLS tracking system.
In regular operation there is a network of 6 or more anchor nodes that have enough spatial diversity
covering the tracked space to provide diverse ranging information to each mobile device to enable
accurate positioning. Anchor nodes are mounted in permanent locations and must remain stationary
after calibration and during system operation.
Whenever the anchor unit is within range of a mobile node, the mobile will refer to the anchor node
with a calibrated coordinate for ranging information. The network of anchor nodes must go through a
calibration via. the ZeroKey Configuration Tool before regular system operation can be established.
In order to preserve battery life, the anchor node enters a deep sleep if it does not pick up other
ZeroKey radio activity for 2 consecutive minutes. This occurs when the system is running idle and not
actively positioning. Once in this mode the anchor node will wake up every 30 seconds to determine
whether to assume normal activity. During the 30 second sleep time the status RGB LEDs will be
disabled but will operate once each time the anchor wakes up.
4.2 QTM-UMR10
The mobile node is a tracking reference and should be attached to the person or object of interest in the
tracking system. In regular operation the user clips the mobile node to their clothing or equipment in an
outward-facing manner. The user then goes about their standard day to day activities.
The mobile has an RGB LED for status indication with each color operating independently. See section
2.3.1 for LED behavior.
The QTM-UMR10 will interact with anchor nodes and any Gateway devices in the Quantum RTLS
system. Mobile nodes do not interact with each other.
