The 433 MHz R140 Badge Tag is a battery-powered RF transmitter that can be clipped onto an article of clothing or worn around the neck with a lanyard. Every tag broadcasts its unique ID and a status message at a periodic rate (pre-programmed at time of manufacturing).

R140 Badge Tags are specifically designed for tracking personnel and their interaction with tagged assets. When used with strategically-placed RF Code Readers, badge tag transmissions can be mapped in real-time to track personnel movement, entrance and exits from selected work sites or controlled areas.

R140 tags can be programmed to operate at a 2-second beacon rate for security applications. Tag cases are impact resistant, splash resistant and temperature stable. Read ranges up to 1,000 feet can be obtained with optional antenna configurations. The standard tag operates with a very low duty cycle that translates to long battery life (typically > 3 years at a 2-second beacon rate). Based on the ratings and specifications from the battery manufacturers, RF Code develops usage models to calculate the life of the active RFID Tags.  Like all models, there are assumptions and approximations involved.  The values are to be taken as engineering estimates - not guaranteed performance.  Exposure to extreme temperatures will shorten the battery life.  RF Code warrants all tags to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year.
