The FDS Panic ID Button Active Tags are powered by an internal battery. 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. Additionally, the KeyFOB has a panic button, and such transactions will either be logged when out of reader range, or be reported immediately when within reader range. 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, Tag alarm counter and Panic Alarm status.

For protection against adverse environmental conditions, the FDS KeyFOB Tag is encapsulated in a screw down moulded plastic case.

The KeyFOB Tag is generally used for key tagging, although it may be used in other applications such as personnel monitoring.

The Tag can be configured to accommodate Wiegand interfacing.

Features

• Configurable settings, including Site / Vendor ID, Tag ID and Transmission Repetition Interval.

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

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

Applications

FDS KeyFOB Tags can be used in applications where door / safe keys need to be tracked. Institutions such as prisons, hospitals and government institutions would find this beneficial. The added panic button on this tag adds to the security of this product in these conditions where a distress or help signal can be generated on demand.
