Product Description

The Elpas Personnel Identity Badge is a supervised triple-tech, 2-

way, Active RFID Tag that provides wireless real-time monitoring

and tracking of workers that may be at-risk of workplace related

attacks or injuries.

The unique form factor of the

badge allows it to serve as a

photo ID personnel badge. When

you insert it into its

corresponding card holder (sold

separately), you can bundle the

badge with ISO standard

credentials and wear it horizontally (landscape format) or

vertically (portrait format). Additionally, the badge can also serve

as a proximity ID key with legacy access control installations.

The badge emits EMI safe RF (433MHz) receives IR (800nm)

data messages and then, and receives Ack (Acknowledge) RF

messages that confirm transmission success. This data enables

real-time sub-room level location awareness of the protected

employee, which Elpas Safety, Security & Visibility Solutions or

other management and building access control systems can use.

The badge also features dual call-button duress alerting and an

onboard LF (125 KHz) receiver that enables instantaneous near-

exit location detection for staff/patient/guest escort to administer

procedures in addition to triggering near-exit access control alert

response protocols.

The Personnel Identity Badge is IP66 rated, cleanable with

alcohol based disinfectants and is powered by a field-replaceable
lithium battery

.

Supported Event Transmissions

Personnel Identity Badges supports LF, Battery, Motion,

Motionless, Exit from LF and two discrete Button Press supervision

events; designated B1 & B2:

Button Press Events

Upon a button press, an RF

message is transmitted (about

1ms in duration) and receives

an RF Ack message when the

system receives the

transmission. Without Ack, the

badge retries to transmit four more times, 50ms apart prior to

deactivation B1=1 and B2=1.

When the buttons are released, B1=0 and B2=0. Another RF

message is transmitted until it receives the Ack message or tries

five more times. In the steady state (no button press / button

release) B1=0 and B2=0.

IMPORTANT: The badge does not support the transmission of two
simultaneous button press supervision events.

Event Transmission Rates in LF Zones

Moving Badge

LF Response Time: Onboard LF receiver polls every 250ms to

check if the badge is in an LF zone.

Transmission Rate: One RF supervision transmission (about 1ms

in duration). If does not receive Ack transmission, retries four times,

50ms apart.

Transmitted Message Type: RF Data Message includes ID code of

LF Beacon. Motion bit, M=1.

label is trimmed so that it lies

flatly (picture/text side up) in

the recessed area on the front

of the badge.

2. Peel off the protective

layer on the front and

rear of the label cover

(P/T: 5-PBA90004).

place it (adhesive edge down) onto the badge so that it neatly

holds the paper label correctly in place.

Battery Replacement

Using a Phillips-type screwdriver that fits the battery cover

screws, unscrew the 4 screws that holds the battery cover in

inserting a small screw driver into either of the square slots

adjacent to the battery cover. Gently lever the screw driver

outwards until the battery cover releases from the badge.

4. Remove the worn-out battery from the badge and dispose of it
according to manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION! After removing the battery please wait at least 30 seconds

before installing the replacement battery so as to not cause damage to the tag
