4 About this Manual 4.1 Audience This manual is intended for users of the Wearable Tags in conjunction with the Pozyx Enterprise System.

5 Overview The Pozyx Wearable Tag tracks people as part of the Pozyx infrastructure. Tags send their location data to Pozyx Anchors that in turn process the information and send it to the Gateway to make a stream of real-time coordinates available. The Wearable Tag has been designed to make it easy for personnel to carry it around, with clip-on, bracelet, and lanyard options. It comes in two variants, a standard Tracking version and an Interactive version that features a push button and a status LED.
• The Pozyx web application. The web application is a visual interface to configure and manage the Pozyx system. It can be run locally from the gateway itself or from the Pozyx cloud.

Any Wearable Tag carrying option can easily be changed by swapping the components of the back cover: Figure 5: (left to right)Wearable tag with no accessories, clip-on, and eyelet for lanyard To change the tag to a clip-on, lanyard eyelet, or bracelet strap version, take the following steps: 1. Use a spring bar tool and place it on either side opening of the top part 2.
3. Remove the battery from the battery holder. 4. Place the new CR2450 coin cell battery in the battery holder, positive side up. 5. Make sure the PCB is well aligned on the pins inside the casing again and put the back cover in place. 6. Tighten the 4 screws again to fix the back cover.
7.3 Initializing Tags To start using Wearable Tags in your Pozyx Enterprise setup, each tag needs to be activated though an NFC reader and the Pozyx Device Configurator. 1. Download the Pozyx Device Configurator from the Pozyx website: a. https://pozyx.io/products-and-services/device-configurator/ 2. Install the Pozyx Device Configurator. 3. Connect an NFC reader to your computer. 4. Place the Industrial Tag face down on the reader, with the back facing you. 5.
7.4 Modifying Tags A number of Tag settings can be modified using the Pozyx Device Configurator. It can be used to change the tag’s positioning protocol (TDOA or TWR), its ID, its UWB settings, and its positioning parameters such as update rate and more. 1. Place the Wearable Tag face down on the NFC reader, with the back facing you. 2. Open the Pozyx Device Configurator and select Edit settings at the bottom of the screen. 3.
• • 7.5 Aloha TDOA settings o Update rate: allows you to change the number of times per second a new positioning transmission is sent. One position transmission is called a ‘blink’. The variation is a parameter to reduce the possibility of packet collisions between multiple tags. Keeping this to 10 ms should be fine in most cases. o Variation Accelerometer settings o Update rate: allows to change the accelerometer update rate.
2. After pressing the Edit Settings button you have the option to select one of the preconfigured button configurations in the Actions field: • • • Off (LEDs on): When you select this button configuration the button will be disabled but the LED will still blink to indicate that the tag is powered on. Off (LEDs off): When you select this button configuration the button will be disabled and the LED will no longer blink. You won't have an indication about whether the tag is powered on or off.
Give it a name: And then select your new configuration on the main screen and click Apply:
Action configurator By default the button behavior will be configured as follows: • Long pressing the button will turn the tag on/off.
• • Short pressing the button will send out an event (with ID 0). This event is visible in the MQTT stream. Double pressing the button will put the tag in the next state and also send out an event (with ID 1). This event is visible in the MQTT stream.
