Applications

A20WST (Wireless Security Tag) and A10 (Wireless Presence Tag) are a key component of the AEROSENS platform to help airlines save costs and increase safety and security by significantly reducing the rate that life vests are stolen or misplaced on aircraft.

Tamper Evident Inspection & Real-Time Monitoring

AEROSENS A20 Wireless Security Tags provide the tamper status for each tagged life vest stowage unit directly to the crew member's mobile device. The patented AEROSENS Wireless Tag is designed for tagging life vest enclosures or emergency equipment. The small form factor and solid tag structure is ideally suited to life vest stowage units and offers airlines the opportunity to track whether life vest stowage units under the passenger seats have been opened/closed during the flight.

Inventory & Presence Check

AEROSENS A10 Wireless Presence Tag allows for automatic collection of emergency equipment data, making equipment inspection a hands-off process. By installing the tags on cabin safety equipment, the time for pre-flight checks can be significantly reduced from hours to seconds. Saving time through automated equipment inspection can also reduce human factor error and provide easy access to maintenance history.

3. RF Exposure Warning Statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

4. Attachment Method

High Performance Adhesive

Typically used for fixed or mobile durable equipment where you have a flat surface to apply the tag. This is a fast and easy way to affix the tag, and the strong and semi-permanent adhesive can withstand cabin environments without any problems.

Straps/Hanging

Sometimes, you have difficulty finding a flat surface, such as around a flashlight or on the curve of an oxygen bottle, or you may not need the tag to be applied permanently. This means you want a method of attachment that will hold steady in most situations without being too easy to remove. The tag corner holes allow for simple mounting in applications where a cable tie solution is suitable. The tag can be either hung from one hole or simply strapped via two holes.

Bolts/Screws

In some cases, you might want the tag to be more permanent. Use the bolts/screw attachment method. Wireless tags can have degraded performance with metal because it can detune the antenna. Thus, it's best if you use plastic bolts, which can generate a stronger, easier-to-read signal.

5. Powering on your Tag

After removing your tag from its packaging, pull out the battery insulating tab as shown in the figure below. This turns the tag on, and the LED will be on for three seconds. It's advisable to leave your tag with the battery insulating pull tab underneath the battery in place until ready to use.

6. Verifying Tag State

To check whether your A20WST or A10WPY tag is operating normally, you can use the AEROSENS CMS 5.0 application on an iOS® or Android device. Once logged in, you can scan the QR code or manually enter the MAC address to see your tag, which is powered on and advertising.
