Introduction
The Elpas3 Personal Safety Bracelet is an attractive bracelet that provides around-the-clock
monitoring of medical patients and assisted living care residents who require added safety.
The bracelet bundles tri-tech (in Mother Bracelet – quad-tech, includes LF transmission) Real-Time
Location System (RTLS) technologies to deliver precise real-time positioning data so that a host RTLS
safety application or an integrated physical security platform can track the whereabouts of the
individual anywhere within the facility.
Note: IR is optional. If irrelevant, users can deactivate IR functionality to conserve battery.
Elpas3 Personal safety Bracelet includes RF reception as well as transmission to allow two-way communication with
Eiris. Eiris can acknowledge when it receives an RF message.
The bracelet features a large duress call button designed especially for senior citizens. Pressing the
button causes the tag to transmit positioning data that identifies the person requiring assistance and
the precise building location of the involving medical or safety incident for speedier and more effective
response efforts.
Note: It is optional to replace the button cover of the tag with a standard plastic cover.
The Mother version also pairs with an Elpas Infant Protection Charm. With the press of the bracelet
button, the infant charm flashes a color, indicating the two are paired. When a user presses the button
again, the bracelet transmits an LF signal that tests if it matches with the Infant Protection Charm.
Once the pairing is made, only the wearer of the Mother Bracelet can exit designated areas with the
baby who wears the Infant Protection Charm with which it is paired.
The bracelet enables immediate near-exit location awareness for administering patient/staff escort
procedures and for preventing unauthorized transfers into or out of protected building areas.

Mother-Baby Local Pairing
When bracelets with mother infant pairing capabilities (P/N 5-WTD41120-0) are used, then the pairing with an Elpas Charm (P/N 5BTE00433-1) may be performed as follows:
1. Make sure the Mother Bracelet is within a 15cm Range of the charm.
2. Connect the Charm band.
3. When the Charm red LED flashes, press the button of the Mother Bracelet and hold it until the Charm green LED flashes. The LF
IDs of both charms are paired.
