Introduction
Personal Badges
Wandering PatientsPatients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, disorientation or recovering from headinjuries require constant supervision to prevent them from wandering into an unsafezone. The patient's location is reported in real-time to the nursing staff, and the exitpoint in closest proximity to the wandering patient is automatically locked.
Nurse CallThis solution enables hospital patients and staff to call for assistance and to communicatefrom anywhere within the facility, at any time increasing overall safety and allowing forgreater mobility on the part of both staff and patients. The system relays location andidentification information to a central location for monitoring and notification purposes.
LF ReaderThe LF reader is a ceiling-mounted device that enablestag detection in exit locations or other specific zonesof a building. The device transmits low frequency signalswithin a range of 2 to 3 meters by low frequencyreceivers of IRFID tags. As soon as LF RDR signalsare identified, an IRFID data message including the IDnumber of the RDR is triggered and transmitted. Thisinformation enables the precise location of the tag. Inorder to enlarge the range of detection, an enhancedsystem employing two LF RDRs in the same area isused working in conjunction as Master and Slave.
Rectangular-Shaped Equipment TagThe equipment tags are used for locating, monitoring andprotecting portable equipment in enclosed environments.A variety of tags are available which use a combinationof IR, RF (433.92MHz) and LF technologies, enablingconstant and exact real time location, identification andstatus reporting. In addition, the button on the back of thebadge enables transmitting a predefined message. Whenprovided with an input option, "short" and "open" inputstates are indicated.
Wireless Wall-Mounted Alert ButtonThe wireless wall-mounted alert button is a wirelesspush-button box for fixed locations and is powered by aninternal battery. It can be fastened to the wall by double-sided tape or by internal screws. When momentarilypressed, this button transmits RF signals (433MHz). Whenpressed continuously, the tag transmits signals once everythree minutes regarding the button’s status.
IR ReaderThe IR reader is a ceiling or wall mounted device capableof receiving coded Infra Red (IR) transmissions from variousELPAS badges and tags. The messages are checked forerrors using an advanced CRC error-checking algorithm,and are then sent to a central controller or the Eiris Servervia a LonTalk FTT-10 wired network. Enhanced versionsof the IR Reader also perform local actions based onreceived messages. Such actions, called "Local Processing",can close relays in an optional external relay controlbox(ExB) or be translated into industry-standard Wiegandcode for use in Access Controller applications by meansof an optional Wiegand Translator (WTB).
RF ReaderThe RF reader is a ceiling or wall mounted devicecapable of receiving RF transmissions from variousELPAS badges and tags. The messages are checked forerrors using an advanced CRC error-checking algorithm,and are then sent to a central controller or the EirisServer via a LonTalk FTT-10A wired network. Enhancedversions of the RF Reader also perform local actionsbased on received messages. Such actions, called "Local Processing",can close relays in an optional external relay control box (ExB) or betranslated into industry-standard Wiegand code for use in AccessController applications by means of an optional Wiegand Translator(WTB). RF readers are available in 315, 433 and 919 MHz. Long rangereaders with external antennas enable extended communication range.Smart readers can communicate with each other to execute smart rules.
RS-232 AdapterRS-232 Adapter converts LonTalk data from the reader toRS-232 in order to convey it to third-party devices, suchas displays or pagers.
External BoxThe small External Box is easy to install and configure.It is connected to the RDR, enabling the control of externaldevices. The external box has two dry-contact, latch high-power output relays and is powered by the RDR to activatedevices such as doors, lights and air conditioning.
