No No

1.  Attachments

1.  RF Bubble is set up around the PAS equipment (approx. 1m max)

2.  The driver “attaches” his tag to the vehicle by pressing the tag button twice

3.  No alarm will be generated by that machine for that tag (activity still recorded)

4.  The driver will then not set off other vehicle alarms because he is attached to that vehicle

2.  Linking

1.  The PAS system can be linked to single or multiple vehicles (pre defined via the software)

2.  Typical use is when one vehicle loading another or operating in close proximity

3.  Performed when TAG is in the urgent zone

4.  Driver links tags by tapping the a button the PAS Z & ZR


Issuing Station Control & monitoring of tag allocation

23

1.  The issuing station controls the issuing and returning of the PT-TAG’s allocated to staff and visitors.

2.  The station monitors the number of tags in and out of the system, providing an automated electronic tally board.

3.  All user details including tag test results are saved in a SQL database.

4.  The user biometrics is captured at the terminal along with compulsory user details such as company ID, telephone and contact details etc.
