Warning! Do not open the iTAG X30. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Warning! Any repairs or replacement of parts MUST be performed by the

manufacturer or its nominated sub-contractor or agent.

Warning! This product can be delivered in a number of different variants; each

variant has restrictions on where it can be used. Please read the

information in the type codes section fully and ensure that your iTAGX30

is suitable for the hazardous area in which it is to be used.

Warning! Before setting the units to work, read the technical documentation

carefully.

Warning! The iTAG X30 contains a lithium ion battery. Do not force open, heat

excessively or dispose of in fire.

2.3 Marking Information

•YYYY is the Notified Body for production

•XXXXXX: is the serial number

•ZZZZ is a code to identify model variants

Exact layout of markings may differ from that shown.

3 Tag Features

Emergency Call Button

The iTAG X30 features a call button which can be activated in the case of an

emergency, which triggers an event in MobileView to show the location of the

worker in need of assistance.

Visual, Audible and tactile indication

The iTAG X30 features multiple LED's to indicate to the worker the tag is

running, the call button has been activated and when the tag has a low battery.

Tactile and audible indications occur to inform the wearer that the call button

has been activated.

Wi-Fi Security

The iTAG X30 supports 802.1x Enterprise security networks with PEAP-

MSCHAPv2 protocol.

Beaconing

The tag utilises lightweight beaconing communication.

Wi-Fi/GPS

The iTAG X30 features hybrid technology which includes Wi-Fi and GPS to

accurately locate workers in all areas of the site, whether there is a dense Wi-Fi

infrastructure or not.

LF Radio

The iTAG X30 sends out specific location reports upon arrival at a chokepoint

or gateway where an LF exciter is positioned. The tags behaviour can be

automatically modified whilst in certain areas after passing through a

chokepoint such as a doorway or gate.

OTA (Over the Air) Updates

The tag has firmware over-the-air update capability which can be used when

new functionality becomes available. This eliminates the need to return the tag

to the factory to enable new features.

Battery and Battery Life

The iTAG X30 is powered by rechargeable lithium ion battery.

Mounting

The iTAG X30 comes complete with a stainless-steel clip which can be used to

clip to PPE or used with a lanyard.

Simple configuration

The iTAG X30 Firmware contains 7 pre-defined configurations, which can be

activated quickly and easily using the TED and Tag Manager BD.

Motion sensor

The iTAG X30 contains on-board motion sensors. When the tag is configured to

a profile which utilises the motion sensor it will enable different transmission

intervals of the tags whether the tag is stationary or in motion, reducing

unnecessary network traffic and conserving battery.

Integrated access control

Minimise the number of ancillary products being carried by using integrated

access control to gain access to site. Easily identify workers due to Photo ID

being visible on the front of the tag.

Rugged performance

The iTAG X30 tag enclosure has been designed for durability with IP rating of

IP65 and IP67 to ensure complete confidence in the product when in harsh

environments.

4 Tag usage instructions

4.1 Before using the tag

Please check for damage to the tag, clip and charging cable prior to using the tag.

Check firmware is latest version and update if required.

4.2 Configuring and updating the tags

Tag Manager BD is used to configure the tag. Refer to separate user guide for

general instruction on the use of Tag Manager BD.

4.2.1 Initial Start

Detect tags etc…..

Click detect:

4.2.2 Activating the iTAG X30

On delivery from the factory, tags must be activated before configuring and use. A

single tag or multiple tags can be activated simultaneously.

To Activate a tag:

Confirm the tag is detected. See Detecting Tags

•From the Detected Tags list, right click on the tag and select Activate. The

tag colour indicator changes to green (Activated Tag). The tag LED will flash

to indicate communication.

•

To activate multiple tags:

Confirm the tags are detected. See Detected Tags

1. From the Detected Tags list, select the tags by checking their selection boxes

(or check the box in the column header to select them all)

2. Under the selection Tag Configuration, select Activate and check the Tag

state box.

3. Click Apply. The Applying Configuration window opens.

The tag colour indicator changes to green (Activated Tag)

4. Click Finish.

4.2.3 How to Configure

The iTAG X30 must be initially configured using the TMBD application (Tag manager

BD application, which is part of the Hardware manager application)

The TMBD application allows you to activate and configure the following tag

parameters according to sites infrastructure and use case. More information can be

found in the Tag manager BD Guide.

•Transmission and Wireless:

oTransmission Channels

oIP Settings (Static IP/DHCP)

oApplication servers

oWi-Fi Security Settings (WPA2-PSK / 802.1 Enterprise security with

PEAP-MSCHAPv2)

WPA-PSK:

4.2.4 Available configurations

The tag firmware contains 7 pre-defined configurations. These configurations define

the tag type and beacon rate behaviour. Each configuration has a unique ID number

called a “Static Configuration” which cannot be edited. Only 1 configuration can be

selected and used per tag.

The following table shows the available configurations.
