Tag Maintenance
Upgrading the Firmware
The AeroScout T3-BD tag’s firmware can be upgraded automatically
through the Wi-Fi network. This is possible due to the tag’s bidirectional
communication abilities.
This is done by using the AeroScout Bidirectional Tag Controller
application. This application can automatically upgrade the firmware to all
the tags in the site, through the Wi-Fi network. The actual update for each
tag will take as much time as the interval set into the tag for periodic
network association.
Replacing the Internal Battery
The AeroScout tag uses one 3.0V CR123A battery Lithium Manganese
Dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery, with 1500 mAh capacity. The battery has a
diameter of 17mm and length of 34mm. This internal battery can last up to
4 years depending on the configured tag parameters (e.g. the transmission
interval rate and the number of associations per day).

To replace a battery:
1. Deactivate the tag with Tag Activator and Tag Manager
(recommended).
2. Unscrew the tag compartment screws.
3. Install a new 3.0V lithium battery in the battery compartment.
Make sure that the sealing rubber around the battery compartment has
not moved during battery installation. If it did, gently put it back in
place using a sharp device.
