Button only

Active ID and button

• In this mode, U-PROX Tag periodically, each 0.9 seconds, broadcasts short information about himself and readiness to interact with the reader.
• After receiving such information, the reader calculates the distance to U-PROX Tag , and if it corresponds to the one configured in it, and if the reader has not yet interacted with this UPROX Tag, data is exchanged between the reader and the tag. The reader transmits the ID code received from the U-Prox Tag to the control panel.
  To interact with the reader again, the U-PROX Tag must leave the reader’s range, or stop reporting for more than 6 seconds.
