It transmits wideband pulses which are picked up by a network of basestations (Ubisensors), allowing the 3D position of the tag to be found. The use of wideband technology enables greater positioning accuracy within buildings than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference effects. Applications of the system include healthcare, workplace productivity, security, retail management and manufacturing. This document describes the features and specifications of the UB-Tag Dimension4 UWB+BLE tag and important regulatory information concerning its use. Regulatory Information for the United States of America The UB-Tag Dimension4 UWB+BLE tag is approved under Parts 15.247 and 15.250 of the FCC rules. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

4 LED indicator Mounting holes Strapping slot Location of magnetic sensor
(hold magnet on side of tag here to wake up device) Switching on the tag The device is shipped in a quiescent (non-transmitting) deep sleep state. To turn on the tag, bring a magnet next to the side of the tag near the LED light pipe, as shown in the diagram above. The LED on the tag will illuminate. Hold the magnet there until the LED turns off of its own accord the tag LED will then brighten from dim to bright, and will then go out. At this point, the tag is running and transmitting location packets. Typically the tag will flash periodically to show that it is awake (although the precise LED behaviour and tag update rate will depend on the settings pre-programmed into the tag for your site). Troubleshooting In case of problems with your Ubisense location system and tags, please contact support@ubisense.net. Disposal of device The UB-Tag Dimension4 UWB+BLE tag has an exceptionally-long battery lifetime. Note that the battery is not user-replaceable. At the end of the devices lifetime, please either return to Ubisense for recycling or dispose of in an environmentally-conscious manner. Ubisense Wideband Location System UB-Tag Dimension4 UWB+BLE tag
