1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Intended Audience
This manual serves as a guide for Installers of the HALO system. The major components of the system
are described, as well as the system’s intended functionality, so as to gain familiarity with its operation
prior to installation. In order to successfully install and commission the system, it is absolutely critical
to understand the capabilities of the system and its components prior to installation.
The function of the HALO system is to monitor areas within a building for the presence of HALO
Tags. A Tag is sensed when it either enters an RF Field that is set up using the EXI HALO Controller
(referred to as a Tag in Field or TIF), or when the Tag initiates an alarm signal (referred to as Tag Initi-
ated Communications, or TIC).
1.2. SYSTEM OPERATION
The EXI HALO system uses Radio Frequency waves for communications between the HALO system
components and the Tags. The HALO Controller continuously emits a 307 kHz RF frequency via the
Exciter Antenna, setting up a field in its local area. When a Tag enters this field, a Radio Receiver
within the Tag senses the 307 kHz RF field and transmits its identification information to the HALO
Controller using a low level Radio Signal at frequency of 434 MHz.
