The 433 MHz M160 Wristband Tag is a battery-powered RF transmitter designed to be worn by children or adults for student, patient or personnel tracking applications. Every tag broadcasts its unique ID and a status message at a periodic rate (that is programmed at the factory). These tags provide an economical solution for educational settings, healthcare or enterprise use. RF Code’s patented communication protocols support high tag densities that allow large populations of tags to be deployed in confined spaces.

M160 Tags can be programmed to operate at a 2-second beacon rate for security applications. This provides a method for rapidly locating and identifying personnel as they move through controlled areas. With typical read ranges of 300 feet, a single reader can provide coverage for a large area, such as an auditorium-style classroom or hospital emergency room.

The M160-series tags are designed to be comfortably worn by the user when attached with standard single-use ¾” wristbands. Tag cases are impact resistant, splash resistant and temperature stable. They are sealed via sonic-welding at the point of manufacture to resist moisture and fluids. Labels are applied internally to the clear polycarbonate enclosure, allowing the tag to be subjected to rigorous wipe-down and cleaning procedures. Simply discard the wristband and re-use the tags over-and-over.

Powered by a coin cell battery, the M160 tag will continuously operate in extreme temperature environments (from -20 to +70 degrees Celsius). The tag operates with a very low duty cycle that translates to long battery life (typically > 4 years).
