T22 Asset Tag User Guide Overview  4 Overview The  T22  Bi-directional  Asset  Tag  is  a  component  of  AeroScout  Industrial's  suite  of enterprise  visibility  solutions  for  location-based  applications.  The  T22  Tag  adds  further flexibility and scalability to track assets across a wide variety of applications.  Once  deployed,  the  tag  uses  its  bi-directional  functionality  to  receive  firmware  and configuration  updates  from  MobileView.  This  removes  the  need  to  manually  collect, update and re-deploy tags in the field.  Figure 1: T22 Asset Tag
T22 Asset Tag User Guide T22 Tag Features  5 T22 Tag Features Beaconing and Bi-directional Communication The T22 Tag utilizes lightweight beaconing communication (for standard messages) and bi-directional Wi-Fi communication with full network association and authentication (for FW and configuration upgrades). This unique combination provides a flexible and scalable solution for advanced applications. The tag can operate with up to four different network SSIDs in a secure or non-secure mode and is able to store up to two network IPs. The tag also supports both static IP configuration and DHCP. Long Battery Life  The tag has a user replaceable battery that provides up to 12 years battery life. The tag is able  to report  its  battery  level  to  MobileView. The  T22  Tag  also has  a  motion  sensor  to conserve battery life when the tag is not in motion.  In addition, to prevent battery drainage and extend battery life, tags leave the factory in Dormant state. This prevents them from being activated inadvertently. Dormant tags react only  to  the  Tag  Activator's Exit Dormant command,  after which they can be configured and activated.  Note Battery life depends on tag configuration, usage profile, and environment conditions.  For deployment specific battery life expectancy, consult with your AeroScout Industrial sales representative.  Egress Point Detection When combined with AeroScout Exciters, the T22 Tag provides instant notification when a tagged  asset  passes  through  an  egress  point,  such  as  a  gate,  doorway  or  other  tightly defined area. Additionally the tag’s behavior can be automatically modified while passing through  an  egress  point,  such  as  activating  / deactivating the  tag,  or  changing  the  tag’s transmission rates to accommodate different usage scenarios.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide Mounting the Tag  6 Rugged Performance  The T22 Tag enclosure is designed for durability against significant impacts and is water and  dust  resistant.  For  information  regarding  chemical  resistance,  see  Appendix  A: Chemicals Compatibility. Visual Indication  The T22 Tags include a dual-color LED which enables visual indication of tag operation. Tag Management T22  Tags  are  easily  configured  and  activated  wirelessly  via  the  Tag  Manager  BD application  and  a  Tag  Activator  device.  The  tags  can  then  be  reprogrammed  using  bi-directional communication via MobileView. Mounting the Tag The main way to mount the T22 is by using four M4 screws in the proper holes. The T22 can also be mounted using tie wraps, either vertically or horizontally via the accompanying slots on each opposite side. See the following picture:
T22 Asset Tag User Guide Mounting the Tag  7 Figure 2: T22 Mounting  Reusing T2EB mounting holes  When replacing a T2EB, the T22 adapter plate can be used to avoid additional mounting holes in the asset.  To mount the tag:  1. Mount the adapter plate to the existing T2EB mounting holes 2. Screw  the  tag  to  the  adapter  plate  using  the  screws  provided  with  the  adapter plate.  Figure 3: T22 Adapter plate Mounting with an Adapter Plate  The adapter plate also  allows you  to fix the tag on  surfaces where  it cannot be attached using straps or screws, such as metal cages.  To mount the tag:  1. Place the tag on one side of the cage and the adapter plate on the opposite side.  2. Attach the tag to the adapter plate using screws or tie wraps while the cage bars are placed in between them.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide Tag Management  8 Tag Management T22 Bi-directional Asset Tags firmware contains up to 10 pre-defined sets of parameters. Each  parameter  set  is  called  a  static  configuration  and  has  a  unique  number.  Static configurations cannot be edited. Only one (1) configuration can be selected and used for the tag at any given time.  Configuring and Updating Tags T22  Tags  must  be  initially  configured  using  the  TMBD  application  before  use  (Tag Manager  Bi-directional  application).  The  TMBD  application  allows  you  to  activate  and configure the tags according to your sites infrastructure. Once  the  tags  have  been  initially  configured  using  the  TMBD  application,  future configurations can then be done via MobileView.  For  more  details  on  configuring  and  updating  the  tags,  see  the  Tag  Manager  BD  User Guide. Updating Tag Firmware and Configuration MobileView supports the option to update the T22 Tag configuration and firmware over the  air  (wirelessly).  A  group  of  tags  or  tags  associated  to  a  specific  category  can  be configured simultaneously.  For more details see the MobileView Administration Guide. Tag LED Indications T22  Tags  include  a  dual-color  LED  (red  and  green)  for  visual  indications.  These indications are described in the table below. Action Indication Description Low Battery   Alternating red and green short blinks every minute  LF reception   1 quick green flash  Message transmission   1 quick red flash
T22 Asset Tag User Guide Tag Maintenance  9 (periodic or triggered)  Bi-directional session Start 1 short red blink End 1 Short red blink followed by 2 quick red flashes   Tag Maintenance Tag Battery Life The T22 Tag uses a battery pack consisting of two 3.6V Lithium batteries. The battery can last  up  to  12  years  depending  on  the  configured  tag  parameters  (e.g.  the  transmission interval rate).    Note The tag’s battery life is significantly reduced if used in extremely low temperatures (below -20 °C, -4°F).  Approved Batteries Only an approved AeroScout Battery pack must be used (Able ER14505M*2-45-24-2C). Replacing the Battery Pack To replace a battery pack: 1. Using a Torx screwdriver, remove the tag casing by unscrewing the four M3 Torx case screws.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide Tag Maintenance  10  2. Gently pull the tag casing apart from the main body.  3. Disconnect the wires from the back panel.  4. Remove the disconnected battery pack from the battery holder.
T22 Asset Tag User Guide Tag Maintenance  11  5. Place a new battery pack in the battery holder, and connect the wires.  6. Close and re-screw the panel to the tag casing.  Note For accurate battery prediction, make sure new batteries are used.  In  order  to  have  an  accurate  battery  prediction  in  MobileView  the  tag battery counters mechanism needs to be reset after every battery change. The counters can be reset either through the Tag Manager BD, MobileView or  the  MTA  application.  For  more  information  see  the  relevant  system documentation.    WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type! Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions!   ATTENTION: Risque d'explosion si la pile est remplacée par un type incorrect! Se débarrasser des piles usagées selon les instructions!
