Tag and Band Maintenance
Testing Tags
Accutech Tags operate by internal battery.
Over the course of normal operation, Tags
eventually lose battery power and the Tags
will need to be replaced. The Tag battery is
not replaceable. For maximum protection of
residents or assets, Accutech recommends
that Tags be tested on a weekly basis. There
are many ways that you can test Tags:
Enter a monitored zone
(Software will report.)
With a S-TAD
The Keypad’s Auxiliary LED
(Yellow) will light when a Tag is
detected (Optional; additional wire
required).
Check Visual Pulse LED if present
BR and CB Tags only - Remove
Band Alarm band or Cut Band band
(alarm will sound).
Cleaning Tags
All Tags are reusable but they must be
cleaned and sanitized between applications.
In long-term applications, periodically
replace the bands and clean the Tags. There

Cleaning Bands
All Tag bands are for one-time use only. For
cleanliness and sanitary reasons, Accutech
recommends replacing applied bands on a
semi-monthly basis with a maximum of one
month between changes.
Storing Tags: To preserve battery life,
Tags must be turned off with an S-TAD
during storage or periods of non-use. BR
and CB Tags must be deactivated to prevent
alarms when not use. In addition, Tags
should be stored away from sources of
electrical noise (see example list below) and
stored in a metal container with lid.
Do not store Tags within 3 feet of any of the
following sources of electrical noise:
Computer monitors
Unshielded computer cables

Storing Bands
Extra Tag bands should be stored in clean
and dry environment.
