CUT SHEET: Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD)
DISCLAIMER: A TAD reading is in no way meant to be a replacement for taking a Tag to an active zone to test the range
capability of the Tag. When you use a TAD all you really know is that the Tag has enough power to respond; it is NOT an
indication of the range capability. In order to test the range capability of a Tag, you must take it to an active zone.
The Tag Activator/Deactivator (TAD) is used to check the functionality of an Accutech Tag. Accutech Tags operate by
internal battery. Over the course of normal operation, Tags eventually lose battery power and the Tags will need to be
replaced. The TAD is used to determine if a Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to an activating signal.
NOTE: A TAD CAN activate or deactivate Tags, preserving Tag battery life and preventing nuisance alarms.
ELECTRICAL:
A TAD requires a 9-volt battery to operate.
MECHANICAL:
Size: approximately 4.75” x 2.25” x 1.25”
Weight: 4.7 ounces
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS:
Transmit Frequency: 128 kHz
Receive Frequency: 418 MHz
The “Active Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED
A TAD can detect a BR42 Tag in active Band Removal alarm;
the “Active Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED will
illuminate blink slowly. This may help locate lost BR42 Tags
that are alarming.
A TAD can also detect the low battery bit of yellow Tags.
Simply turn on the TAD and place a Tag in the Tag receptacle.
If the Tag’s battery is low (e.g., low enough that the Tag’s
operation is diminished below an acceptable level) the “Active
Band Removal or Low Battery on Tag” LED will blink rapidly.
The Tag should then be replaced.
The “WAIT” LED
The “WAIT” LED illuminates briefly during Tag
activation/deactivation.
The “Signal Strength” LEDs
The “Signal Strength” LEDs of the TAD indicate:
The current state of a Tag (on or off)
Tag is Very Near (within approx. 1 foot*)
Tag in Area (within approx. 20 feet*)
*Inexact due to variations of the remaining Tag battery power, remaining
TAD battery power, and if the Tag is alarming in Band Removal.
