Personnel Alert: Base Station
Setting the Badge ID
e) Reduced Radio Range Jumper
The reduced radio range jumper is used when precise
coverage of a defined small area is required. For normal
operation (high Tx power/high Rx sensitivity), open the
reduced radio range jumper.
Note
This jumper should only be used when the
transmit/receive rotary switches are incapable of
providing sufficient signal attenuation for defined
small coverage areas.
open = only one pin is covered

When the reduced range jumper is closed, an additional 10
dB is acquired for the transmit attenuation. The receive
sensitivity for the base station is reduced by 11-12 dB.
Setting the Badge ID
The base station maintains the ID number and alarm
acknowledgement information for each badge while in the
coverage area. This information is used to account for
personnel during an alarm response situation, such as an
evacuation.
1-256 badges can be monitored on a single base station
simultaneously. Up to 999 badge IDs can be recognized by
each base station, depending upon the database and
configuration of the overall system.
Setting-up Badge ID Numbers
The badge ID number is used to identify the employee who is
carrying the corresponding badge during an alarm condition.
When setting up ID numbers, maintain a log to verify
employees and badge ID numbers. Refer to the following
table.
