An internal battery powers The FDS series of Tags. The Bracelet Tag will, for the duration of its life, transmit a Radio Frequency (RF) signal at a preset 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, FDS Tags are encapsulated in a moulded plastic case, which is ultrasonically sealed during the manufacturing process.

The FDS Watch ID is generally used for hospital patient 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, Transmission Repetition Interval and Alarm functions (these are programmed at order placement stage).

• Flexible strap can be sterilized by swabbing process.

• Long Tag lifespan ( 5 years when transmitting at a 1.5-second repetition rate).

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

• Lazer etched numbering on housing.

• Tag can be secured on a person’s wrist by threading a standard plastic (hospital) strap through the loops provided.

Applications

• FDS Bracelet Tags can be used in a variety of applications. Typical applications are:

• Patient monitoring in hospitals.

• Children monitoring in theme parks, etc.
