FCC 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, according 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 under 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 using one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment may only be operated indoors
The use of this device mounted on outdoor structures, e.g., on the outside of a building, any fixed outdoor infrastructure or any moving assets outdoors is prohibited.

UWB devices may not be employed for the operation of toys
Operation onboard an aircraft, a ship or a satellite is prohibited.

Changes or modifications

• Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by ZIGPOS could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. The CorivaTag Plus device should only be opened by authorized personnel.
• Attempting to open the device without proper authorization may result in damage to the device and will void any warranty or support agreements.

RF Exposure Notice
This device is a radio transmitter and receiver.
CorivaTag Plus complies with FCC radiation exposure limits. The radiated output power of the device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

System Overview

CorivaTag only operates within a complete UWB real-time location system, which must be professionally installed. The installed system is configured to cover only the area inside the building, preventing CorivaTags and other UWB devices of the system from emitting UWB signals outdoors. Contact your system administrator if you are unsure as to the extent of coverage.

• Please note that the user button functionality depends on the firmware implementation of the CorivaTag Plus and might change over time.
• For the latest release, see https://portal.coriva.io.

Power Supply / Charging
The CorivaTag Plus can be charged wirelessly. Please remove the CorivaTag Plus from the mounting bracket and place it with the back side down in the center of the charger.
Inside the CorivaTag Plus, there is a rechargeable LiPo battery that provides sufficient charge for most applications. It is essential to charge the CorivaTag Plus only using charging stations that have been approved by the manufacturer. To ensure safe charging and optimal power transfer, the correct orientation of the device and the receiving coil in the CorivaTag Plus is crucial. The receiving coil is located on the back of the CorivaTag Plus, in the center under the type label.
Using a charging station from ZIGPOS ensures that the CorivaTag Plus is always correctly aligned for optimal charging. Alternatively a Qi-compatible Charging Pad with a small coil size, like the TOZO W1 can be used.
The CorivaTag Plus has protective mechanisms against high temperatures.

Attention
During the charging process, the CorivaTag Plus may experience slight warming. To safeguard the battery and the device, protective mechanisms are integrated to prevent excessive heating. For uninterrupted charging, it is recommended to charge the device within an ambient temperature range of 5°C to 30°C. Charging the device outside of this temperature range may result in reduced charging performance or charging interruptions.

Vibration Actuator

• The Coriva Tag Plus has an integrated vibration motor that can generate haptic signaling with different vibration patterns.
• Please note that the vibration functionality depends on the firmware implementation of the CorivaTag Plus and might change over time.
• For the latest release, see https://portal.coriva.io.

Sound Actuator

• The CorivaTag Plus has an integrated sound module, that can generate acoustic signaling with different frequencies.
• Please note that the sound functionality depends on the firmware implementation of the CorivaTag Plus and might change over time.
• For the latest release, see https://portal.coriva.io.

Acceleration Sensor

• An internal accelerometer can activate position determination when moving and stop it when stationary. This approach offers maximization of battery life.
• The CorivaTag Plus supports multiple tracking frequencies, depending on the use-case. It has a motion-aware energy efficient ranging behavior, so that it is only ranging while moving and for some time afterwards.
• Please note that the motion-aware behavior functionality depends on the firmware implementation of the CorivaTag Plus and might change over time.
• For the latest release, see https://portal.coriva.io.

Technical Data

Radio Systems and Environment

The CorivaTag Plus has several integrated antennas for data transmission and Tag localization.

• IEEE 802.15.4z-compliant UWB transceiver, controller and antenna to communicate over UWB Channel 9 at ~8 GHz to enable UWB-based (“In-Band”) tracking
• IEEE 802.15.4-compliant ISM transceiver, controller and antenna to enable Outof- Band (OoB) communication to enable offloading non-tracking data communication such as discovery, device orchestration and over-the-air-updates of the firmware

For high positioning accuracy and stable data transmission, it is important to use the CorivaTag Plus which it can be seen from CorivaSats or other 3rd party “omlox air 8”- certified RTLS satellites (the fixed infrastructure of your RTLS installation) and to constantly ensure this.

Radio Systems are influenced by their environment
Ceiling structures or other obstacles made of metal, reinforced concrete, or other shielding or absorbing materials can strongly influence the radio characteristics and thus limit the function of the tracking system.
