4. Proximity Cycles
Maximum Communication Attempts: after an event is detected via the reed switch, this is the number
of times that the A760 attempts to communicate with a nearby badge tag. Note that setting this value too
high may result is inaccurate reporting. That is, if the wall unit keeps trying to communicate with a badge
after a detected event, then someone with a badge tag may walk within range and incorrectly get “credit”
for the detected event. Also note that the LED on the wall unit will light green at the beginning of each
communication attempt.
Maximum Successful Cycles: this is the maximum number of times that the A760 and the R142 Badge
tag will communicate. A smaller number will result in faster reporting to the system, but may also reduce
accuracy if other badge tags are nearby.
5. A760 Signal Strength Thresholds
Combined Minimum For Immediate Success: this is a measurement of the combined signal strength
detected between the badge tag and the Proximity Locator. When this number is exceeded by an
A760/badge combination, the A760 will not do any more attempt/cycles and will immediately declare a
“winner” (based on the strongest SSI or in the case of a tie, the first badge that responded). Setting this
value to a higher number will require that the “winning” badge will need to be closer to the wall unit when
compared to other badges that are farther away.
Combined Minimum to Compete: this is a measurement of the signal strength needed for a nearby
badge to be considered to be associated with an event.
Minimum At Tag To Report: this is a measurement of the signal strength detected at the badge tag for
it to be considered to be associated with an event. Setting this to a smaller value will consider badges that
