User Guide
1 OVERVIEW
The Zebra Enterprise Solutions (ZES) WhereCall System allows users in manufacturing and assembly operations to request service or specific parts without leaving their workstations. Specific parts or service requests may be assigned to individual WhereCall V devices so that users may indicate which item is needed. For example, an assembly worker using several parts: Each part is associated with a separate WhereCall V device located in the workstation. By pressing the green button on the WhereCall V device, a radio signal is sent by the WhereCall System to the computer system in the supply area, indicating which workstation requires the specified part or service. The display will first blink CALL , and then alternate between CALL and the time since the button press. This message can be customized to site preferences.
The WhereCall V also operates in an optional SWITCH mode. This mode can be used to indicate a status; the display will blink either -- ON -- or - OFF -- to indicate a functional status. The status will toggle each time the button is pressed. These messages can also be customized to site preferences. Each status can display a multi-word message on up to two different screen buffers.
To insure that the WhereCall system is in constant operation, real-time monitoring using an “I’m Still Alive” blinking transmission advises the system supervisor of the status of each WhereCall V device. Battery status is also included in these “I’m still alive” messages as well as in the switch blinks, as well as in the button initiated blinks.
WhereCall V devices may be individually labeled for identification by applying a user­supplied label to the recessed area on the front panel below the green button.
The WhereCall V may be mounted in a work area with removable fasteners, double-sided foam tape or with mounting brackets and screws. Overhead installation is also possible by using cable mounting (Refer to Section 3, Installation and Mounting).

2 COMPONENTS
The WhereCall System consists of four major components: the WhereCall V device; a location antenna; a location processor and a ZES computer server. This document details only the WhereCall V device.
The WhereCall V is a palm-sized device approximately 3 inches by 5 inches, 1 inch thick, in a yellow and gray colored case. A green colored actuator button is in the center of the device. A liquid crystal display (LCD) screen is located above the button.
The ZES Location Sensor receives radio signals from the WhereCall V device when the work station user sends a call requesting parts by pressing the green button on the WhereCall V. These signals are transferred by cable to the ZES Location Processor.
The ZES Location Processor converts signals from the antenna(s) and sends them to the ZES computer server. A message is generated by the server and sent to the user’s computer system indicating that a part is needed at the location of the WhereCall V device.
If necessary, the WhereWand hand-held communicator allows the ZES technician to configure the WhereCall V device. The WhereWand is not required for most applications.

4 OPERATION OF THE WHERECALL V
The WhereCall V is a wireless messaging device that is capable of transmitting simple messages to the ZES Infrastructure. These messages can range from a call for parts for line side material replenishment to a request for supervisor assistance. There are three modes of operation:
Button or CALL Tag Mode Messaging or SWITCH Tag Mode OFF Mode
The WhereCall V is shipped in the “OFF” mode. There is also a battery change mode that is used to condition the tag to for installation of replacement batteries.
When the WhereCall V is on the OFF mode, the display shows PWR OFF . To turn the WhereCall V on when it is in the OFF mode, press the button once and the tag will resume operation in either the CALL mode or the SWITCH mode depending on the mode it was in when the OFF mode was selected.
4.1 Call Mode
In CALL mode the WhereCall V can be used for parts call and other operations that do not require an indication as to whether the request was fulfilled. In this mode, the operator presses the button to send the request message, and the WhereCall V will transmit blinks with “Switch ID 0” which has status 2. The display on the WhereCall V will flash was made. This lets the operator easily verify how long it has been since they made their request. The display is capable of counting up to 9 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes shown as
9d23h59m but the elapsed time will not increment any further.
CALL for one minute and then start to count up in minutes since the call
9d23h59m after which it will continue to alternate between CALL and

Page 18
User Guide
The displayed CALL can be replaced with any other 8-character custom message. The custom message will blink for one minute after each button push, and then the custom message will alternate with the elapsed time.
4.2 Switch Mode
In switch mode, the display toggles between -- ON -- and -- OFF --. The normal starting state is OFF. If the operator presses the button, then the WhereCall will send a message signaling the change in state and the display will change to -- ON --. The resulting transmission blink includes “Switch ID 0” which has status 2. The next button press will cause a new message to be transmitted with “Switch ID 1” which has status 4. This signals the change of state and the display will change back to - OFF --. In the SWITCH mode the WhereCall V will send multiple transmissions at increasing intervals after each button press. The first set of blinks occurs as soon as the button is pressed, then repeats at 1 minute after the button press. The message is then repeated at the following periods after the initial button press: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and then 30 minutes.. After completing that sequences, the WhereCall V then continue sending a set of blinks every 60 minutes.
The displayed -- ON -- and - OFF – messages can be replaced to show any one or a pair of 8-character custom messages. If the message is replaced with a pair of custom messages, then the display will not flash, but instead alternate between the pair of custom messages. When the button is pressed, the display will alternate between the other pair of messages.

6 WHERECALL V PLC OVERVIEW
This document describes how to mount and interface the WhereCall V PLC to your equipment via the external industrial connector.
The WhereCall V PLC is a variation of the standard WhereCall V. It allows the call tag to be used with a remote switch in external equipment. The external equipment can “press the button” to initiate a call. This enables the WhereCall V PLC and the user equipment to operate unattended and to send a call message via the ZES system.
Figure 8: Photograph of the WhereCall V PLC with an interface cable attached. (This cable is not included with the WhereCall V PLC.)
For more information regarding the operation and installation of the WhereCall VPLC, please refer to the WhereCall V User Guide.
In this document the Terms WhereCall V PLC and TFF-2236 are used interchangeably and will have the same meaning.

8.3 WhereCall V PLC Switch Operation
The switch used to operate the TFF-2236 must be a momentary type. The TFF-2236 will initiate a “Button Blink” sequence when the switch breaks after having been closed for at least 100 ms and less than 5 seconds. It the switch is closed for less than 100 ms the unit will not react. See Table 1 for more information.
_________
Note
________
If the switch remains closed for three (3) seconds or more, the unit will change to the “OFF” mode.

9 BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
9.1 Description
WhereCall V Tags have a nominal battery life of 5 years. After that nominal battery life, it is possible to replace the batteries to extend the life of the tag itself; however, ZES does not provide personnel or Services for this process.
To avoid damaging the WhereCall V tags, the proper screwdrivers with the correct settings must be used. This procedure must be followed or the WhereCall V may become non­operational and there is no field recovery method if this occurs. Batteries should be replaced before they are completely dead.
ZES assumes no responsibility for damage to or failure of the WhereCall Tags resulting from this battery replacement procedure.

9.3 Procedure
____________
CAUTION ____________
Caution: Personnel changing batteries must use an ESD wrist strap to prevent damage of the tag circuit board due to static discharge. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of the static prevention device.
1) To change the WhereCall V batteries, the WhereCall V must be in OFF mode and display PWR OFF . See section 4.3 for instructions on turning the WhereCall V off.
2) From the OFF mode, enter battery change mode as follows: Press and hold the button for several seconds until the display starts to cycle between these options…ISO MODE, CCX MODE, DUALMODE, and CNG BATT. Release the button when the display shows CNG BATT, then click the button again to activate the mode. The WhereCall IV is now in a mode that draws more current in bursts to ensure the circuitry fully discharges when the batteries are removed. This mode will expire in 5 minutes, so the batteries should be replaced within 5 minutes to ensure proper restart of the internal processors.
3) Proceed with the battery replacement procedure. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2 screws from the face of the tag.
4) With the tag sitting face down, use the #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the 4 screws near the corners on the back of the tag.
5) With the tag face down, grasp the yellow bezel with one hand and remove the white back cover with the other hand. Place the cover aside with the screw points down noting the orientation for ease of reassembly. Take care not to invert the cover as the screws can fall out and may be lost.
