P 4. System Maintenance
ASSETRAC is designed to assist staff in providing a higher degree of safety for their equipment . It is not intended as the sole means of protection in preventing an item from leaving the premises.
Regular checks to verify that your ASSETRAC system is operational is highly recommended.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
All Tags should be checked for physical damage after each cleaning, disinfecting or steriliza­tion procedure.
Each Tag should be tested for correct operation before being attached to an infant. The ASSETRAC software prompts for testing of Tags prior to their deployment. Please refer to the appropriate section in this manual for the instructions.
The warrantee on Tags is 3 years, and the batteries within the Tags are expected to last in ac­cess of the warranty period depending on the usage pattern. Do not leave Tags in the detection field for long periods of time, and store them in the foil bags supplied. Failure to do so will result in false alarms, and will reduce battery life.
Set up a regular system check schedule to verify that the Controllers, Receivers and Tags are operational. Controllers should have the “Ready” light illuminated to show that they are pow­ered. Check the operation of the Controller daily by starting a bypass or triggering an alarm using a Tag to ensure that it is fully operational and protecting the egress point where it is lo­cated.
Check each Receiver on a regular basis to ensure that it can receive signals from Tags in the “Tag Removal” condition. Failure to regularly check for this operation may lead to failure to detect a Tag that is removed from an infant, and therefore compromising protection for the infant.
Whenever you see a known wandering patient, look for the Tag on their person to verify they are still wearing it. This may require special knowledge as to the placement of the Tag.
Intended Audience
This manual is intended for system users (typically duty nurses) and supervisory level users who manage the system and the system users.
Scope
This manual will provide step by step instructions for users and supervisors who administer the usage of the system. The Assetrac system features a very simple user interface that steps the user through and pro­vides instructions at each step.

About Assetrac Protection System
Assetrac is a premium asset protection system. Assetrac works in conjunction with the EXI Asset tag transponder that is capable of sensing if it has been removed from a piece of equipment. Assetrac is an electronic system, which, in conjunction with staff diligence, creates a secure perimeter to deter asset theft .
Assetrac will detect if an asset is near a controlled exit and invoke countermeasures. The system will identify the asset, the location and the time. Alarms must be accepted by staff using password access to the system. The system maintains a log of all activity.
Access Levels
The Assetrac system has three separate access levels:
• User
• Supervisor
• Dealer

EXI ASSETRAC User Manual 980-000005-000
System Conventions
Each user in the system has a unique identity (username) and password. The Supervisor assigns both the username and password. It is suggested that both be kept between 4-8 characters to provide sufficient se­curity and allow users to easily enter and remember their system access codes. For example:
A user named Barbara Smith would have a username such as bsmith or barbs. Note that that each user should have a unique name.
The system prompts the user for any text entry such as usernames or infant names etc. To navigate from one field to the next, the user may press tab or place the mouse cursor over the field and Click the left
button.

1. System Introduction
1.1. System Components
ASSETRAC Software: Primary user interface that assist in the assignment and tracking of Trans-
ponders, and displays alarms and other activities in graphical format. Also stores and allows printing of all system events that have been logged.
Controllers: Controls an egress point and reports any Tag presence at the egress point to the
computer. Depending on system configuration, Controllers may control door locks and local alarms, allow keypad input for door bypass, and offer a “Staff Saver” and “Loiter” feature. The “Staff Saver” feature eliminates nuisance alarms by not setting off an alarm when the presence of a Tag is detected and the door is sensed as closed. In the event that the door is open, or is opened when the Tag is at the egress point, the system will alarm. The “Loiter” feature sounds an alarm if a Tag detected at a door remains at that door for a period of time, re­gardless of the fact that the door may be sensed as closed.
Controllers will also detect a “Tag Removal” condition in its area, as does a Re­ceiver.
Receivers: Detects “Tag Removal” condition when a Tag is removed from an asset, and re-
ports this activity to the computer.
Transponders: Also referred to as “Tags”, these devices are attached to each asset. Tags initiate
two different kinds of alarm conditions as follows:
Tag-initiated-Communications (TIC)
This alarm is initiated in the event that a Tag is removed from a piece of equipment. This occurs due to the fact that the Tag tamper switch is no longer attached to an asset.
Tag-in-field Communications (TIF)
This alarm is initiated when a Tag enters an area protected by a Con­troller. The Controller emits a constant field of radio waves which is picked up by the Tag when in the proximity of the Controller. The Tag reports its presence to the Controller, and therefore the system, when it senses this RF field.
1.2. Computer Display Conventions
The computer displays various types of information, which is color coded to differentiate between the Dealer, Supervisor and User modes. In addition, the “Icons” that display the locations of the various system components such as the Controllers and the Receivers, and the on-screen “buttons” may also change color to indicate their status.
