This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not ca use harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B Digital Device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The Halo system also supports other eLink based Transponders such as EXI’s Wrist Tag, which may
e used for pediatrics or for elderly patients where the Infant Tag’s tamper mechanism is not required,
and Asset Tags which can be used for the protection of high value assets.
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 HALO
software prompts for testing of Tags prior to their deployment. Please refer to the appropriate section
in this manual for the instructions.
The warranty on Tags is 3 years, and the batteries within the Tags are expected to last in excess 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 “Off
Body” condition. Failure to regularly check for this operation may lead to failure to detect a Tag that i
removed from an infant, and therefore compromising protection for the infant.
Whenever you see an infant who is a patient, look for the Tag on this infant to verify that it is still
securely attached. This may require special knowledge as to the placement of the Tag.
The R3 Controllers have unique serial numbers that are associated with the location that they serve.
Ensure that the correct Controller Serial Number is used at the location being entered on the floor
plan in the computer!
4.5. INSTALLI NG RECE IVERS
Receivers are meant for use where only a Tag Initiated Communications (TIC) signal needs to be
detected. These TIC signals originate from tags as a result of the tag sensing that it is being tampered
with.
Figure 2 – HALO Receiver Configuration
The “Relay” light on the front of t he receiver comes on to indicate relay activation when a “TIC” is
detected. The “Radio” light blinks when there is RF activity sensed on the radi o channel. T his activity
may be data from tags, or sometimes, intermittent presence of RF noise on the channel. When this
indicator is solid green, there may be a constant high-level RF noise source on the RF channel that
could block tag communications. The “Power” light has two functions, indicating that the Receiver has
been powered up when solid Red, and indicati ng activity on the RS-485 li nk when solid Green. This
indicator will alternate between Red and Green in the event the signals sensed on the RS-485
communications are unrecognizable, indicating potential RS-485 line communication trouble.
Receivers have unique serial numbers that are associated with the location that they serve. Ensure
that the correct Receiver is used at the location being entered on the floor plan in the computer!
Figure 3 – HALO Receiver Settings
4.5. 1 THRESHOLD S WIT CH
The Threshold switch may be adjusted to increase or reduce the sensitivity of the Receiver and
therefore the range of detection of the Tag. It is also used to reduce or remove some of the
background noise if the Receiver is having trouble detecting tags.
Set the threshold switch at “F” initially, which is the maximum sensitivity setting. Turn the switch
counter-clockwise until the “Radio” light is extinguished, which indicates that the threshold of the
Receiver has been set to overcome any RF ambient noise. The Receiver should be able to detect a
Tag fro m about a 25’ radius within the protected perimeter at t his setting. T his detection area is
highly dependent on the layout of the floor, which in turn influences the placement of the Receivers
on that floor.
Generally, ensure that the whole floor has adequate coverage, and eliminate any “ null” areas from
which a Tag removal cannot be detected. In the event that the switch setting is required to be below
“A” to overcome noise, it is highly recommended that the noise source be identified and fixed, as a
very low Receiver threshold setting will compromise the tag detection distance, or may even
prevent tag detection altogether.
