Product Description

The Elpas Personnel Identity Badge is a supervised triple-tech, 2-

way, Active RFID Tag that provides wireless real-time monitoring 

and tracking of workers that may be at-risk of workplace related 

attacks or injuries. 

The unique form factor of the 

badge allows it to serve as a 

photo ID personnel badge. When 

you insert it into its 

corresponding card holder (sold 

separately), you can bundle the 

badge with ISO standard 

credentials and wear it horizontally (landscape format) or 

vertically (portrait format). Additionally, the badge can also serve 

as a proximity ID key with legacy access control installations. 

The badge emits EMI safe RF (433MHz) receives IR (800nm) 

data messages and then, and receives Ack (Acknowledge) RF 

messages that confirm transmission success. This data enables 

real-time sub-room level location awareness of the protected 

employee, which Elpas Safety, Security & Visibility Solutions or 

other management and building access control systems can use. 

The badge also features dual call-button duress alerting and an 

onboard LF (125 KHz) receiver that enables instantaneous near-

exit location detection for staff/patient/guest escort to administer 

procedures in addition to triggering near-exit access control alert 

response protocols. 

The Personnel Identity Badge is IP66 rated, cleanable with 

alcohol based disinfectants and is powered by a field-replaceable 

lithium battery

.

 

Supported Event Transmissions 

Personnel Identity Badges supports LF, Battery, Motion, 

Motionless, Exit from LF and two discrete Button Press supervision 

events; designated B1 & B2: 

Button Press Events 

Upon a button press, an RF 

message is transmitted (about 

1ms in duration) and receives 

an RF Ack message when the 

system receives the 

transmission. Without Ack, the 

badge retries to transmit four more times, 50ms apart prior to 

deactivation B1=1 and B2=1. 

When the buttons are released, B1=0 and B2=0. Another RF 

message is transmitted until it receives the Ack message or tries 

five more times. In the steady state (no button press / button 

release) B1=0 and B2=0

.

 

 

IMPORTANT:

 The badge does not support the transmission of two 

simultaneous button press supervision events.
