An internal battery powers The Link-it™ series of Active Tags. The Tag will, for the duration of its life, transmit a Radio Frequency (RF) signal at a pre-set time-interval. The Tag life is estimated at 5 years at a transmission time interval of approximately 1.5 seconds. The lifespan of the Tag ends when the battery life is exhausted. Battery status can be inferred by interrogating the internal Tag Age Counter Value.

The transmitted Tag data includes Customer Site Code (CSC), Tag ID, Tag Age Counter Value, Movement Alarm and Tamper Alarm status.

For protection against adverse environmental conditions, Link-it™ Tags are encapsulated in a moulded plastic case, which is ultrasonically sealed during the manufacturing process.

The Slimline Tag is generally used for personnel tagging, although it may be used in other applications such as asset monitoring. The mounting and affixing of a Tag depends on the type of application. The standard method is by VHB type double-sided adhesive tape.

The Tag can be configured to accommodate Wiegand interfacing.

Link-it™ Tags can be mounted on a variety of items. Where permanent fixing is required VHB double-sided tape is used, otherwise, the tags may be worn on a necklace or clipped to clothing.

Features:

•Configurable settings, including Site / Vendor ID, Tag ID, Transmission Repetition Interval and Alarm functions (these are programmed at order placement stage).

•Low power consumption. Tag life is estimated at 5 years when transmitting at a 1.5-second interval.

•Housing incorporates a clip-slot for convenient wearing.

•Sealed to IP65 standards.

•A Collision avoidance algorithm is used to disperse the transmissions around the mean repetition interval.
