Introduction

The AeroScout EX3300 Exciters series are key components of the AeroScout Hand
Hygiene Solution. The EX3300 Exciters provide robust and sophisticated RFID
detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that can also be accurately
located in real time by the AeroScout system.

The EX3300 Exciters are specialty designed to be embedded in Hand Hygiene
dispenser. When a dispenser with an embedded EX3300 Exciter is activated, the
Exciters trigger AeroScout’s tags that are located near the Exciter and the tags in turn
transmit a message to AeroScout Location Receivers or compatible Access Points in
range. This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged staff member has used
the dispenser. The AeroScout Visibility System can detect, record and report the rate
of usage of the dispensers per user and provides a revolutionary way for health care
facilities to monitor the hand hygiene policy compliance of staff members.

EX3300 Features

Note

The exciters’ effective range, based on specific environment and

placement, may be less than the configured range. The effective range
should be taken into consideration when planning and designing the
deployment.

Hand Hygiene Dispenser Integration

EX3300 Exciters are specially designed to be embedded in GOJO and Ecolab hand
hygiene dispensers. The embedded exciter reacts to a dispenser activation and
triggers all tags in range to transmit a message to a nearby access point.

RFID detection of AeroScout Tags

Triggering the tags to transmit as they enter a defined area, EX3300s reach up to a 6
meter (19.6ft) range, enough to cover typical door or gate areas.

Tag behavior modification:

The EX3300 can wirelessly active and deactivate tags. Tag battery life can be
extended further by switching the tags off when they leave a defined tracking area
through a gate or doorway.

It is also possible to configure the Exciter to change of tag transmission rate
temporarily or indefinitely to accommodate different usage patterns in various
physical spaces.

Message Programming functions

The EX3300 has the ability to store messages on the tag for later transmission.
Message transmission can later be triggered by other EX3300s, enabling
sophisticated process control functions.

EX3300 can trigger a tag to:

 Transmit up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5100;

 Transmit one of 15 pre-stored messages;

 Transmit and store up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5100.

The AeroScout EX3300 is an offline exciter designed to integrate with the following
dispenser models:

Mounting the Exciter

Follow these steps to install an EX3300 in a Hand Hygiene dispenser:

the EX-3300 Exciter may not be inserted into any host units other than the ECOLAB
Hand Sanitizer Dispenser or the GOJO Hand Sanitizer Dispenser.

1. Open the dispenser by

2.

Adding the Exciters to the AeroScout Engine

Note

If the ID is already taken by another Exciter, and the Exciter is
reachable (not offline), the system automatically switches IDs between
the two Exciters. If the Exciter is unreachable, change the ID manually.

Follow these steps:

1. Do one of the following:

 In a Cisco-based configuration, add the Exciters via WCS.

 If you are using AeroScout Standalone Engine, add the Exciter via System

Manager.

2. Access System Manager and perform the following steps for each one of the

Hand Hygiene Exciters:

a. In the Configuration menu select Advanced Mode.
b. Access the Exciter properties by double-clicking the Exciter's icon.
c. In the Exciter Modules window click on Internal LF Exciter and select the

Settings tab.

d. In HW ID, enter the Exciter ID. See Figure 2.

e. Click OK.

f. Make sure all dispenser Exciters appear offline on the map

Advanced Configuration

Advanced configuration an EX3300 Exciter is done via the AeroScout Exciter
Manager. The Exciter Manager enables configuring the Exciter's Maximum
Transmission Range, Exciter ID, and IP address.

The EX3300 Exciters are equipped with a customized serial cable used to configure
the Exciter via the Exciter manager.

For more instructions on configuration the EX3300, please refer to the AeroScout
Exciter Manager User Guide.
