Stanley AR3TR02-POC RoamAlert Pocket Tag Reader, Gray

The Stanley AR3TR02-POC is a handheld RoamAlert Pocket Tag Reader used to test, identify, and configure active RFID tags in healthcare wander management systems. Powered by a 9V battery, the reader displays tag serial numbers, battery status, and warranty expiration information while supporting Tag Location Message (TLM) configuration. Its 433.92 MHz and 307.2 kHz radio frequency operation also enables RF field testing and interference analysis. The portable device supports resident tag maintenance, troubleshooting, and system verification in compatible RoamAlert installations.

The Stanley AR3TR02-POC RoamAlert Pocket Tag Reader is a portable RFID testing and configuration device designed for Stanley Healthcare RoamAlert resident wandering prevention systems. The reader identifies active RFID tags, verifies their operating condition, and retrieves information including electronic serial numbers, battery status, warranty expiration dates, and Tag Location Message (TLM) capability. Healthcare staff can test resident wrist tags without removing them, while authorized technicians can examine stored tags and configure supported operating parameters. The device supports preventive maintenance and troubleshooting in hospitals, assisted living facilities, and memory care environments where RoamAlert equipment monitors resident movement near protected exits.

The AR3TR02-POC operates using 433.92 MHz and 307.2 kHz radio frequencies for communication with compatible RFID tags and system equipment. Its built-in LCD display, four-button keypad, two LED indicators, and audible beeper provide direct access to testing results and device functions. The reader performs automatic battery measurements, identifies tag communication status, and provides pass/fail indications for tag performance. Authorized technicians can enable, disable, or modify supported Tag Location Messages and monitor Tag Initiated Communication (TIC) signals. An integrated RF field analyzer measures controller detection field strength, while the RF noise analyzer identifies potential interference affecting system operation.

The RoamAlert Pocket Tag Reader stores test results in non-volatile memory, allowing recorded information to remain available after the device is powered off. Its RS-232 serial interface enables stored data to be downloaded to a compatible computer for maintenance records and diagnostic analysis. The reader operates from a standard 9VDC battery and includes an internal low-battery indicator. Its gray handheld housing measures 5.5 inches high, 3.25 inches wide, and 1 inch deep, providing a compact format for routine tag inspections throughout a healthcare facility. The specified operating temperature range is 50 F to 113 F (10 C to 45 C), with a storage temperature range of 14 F to 131 F (-10 C to 55 C).

The Stanley AR3TR02-POC supports RoamAlert system maintenance, resident tag verification, and preliminary controller field adjustment through separate user and technician operating functions. User mode allows personnel to inspect tag identification, battery condition, warranty information, and supported location messaging functions. Technician mode provides additional tag configuration and RF diagnostic capabilities for troubleshooting communication problems and evaluating controller detection fields. The reader can test tags while attached to residents or removed for inspection, supporting routine tag maintenance procedures. Because the device can modify RFID tag settings and evaluate security system communication, access should be restricted to authorized personnel according to facility security procedures and the manufacturer's operating instructions.
