The SCAN~LINK Tag Health Tester is a diagnostic tool designed to verify the health and functionality of passive RFID tags embedded within SCAN~LINK safety apparel. By confirming that every embedded RFID tag is present and operating correctly, the Tag Health Tester helps simplify troubleshooting and supports reliable worker detection performance.
Why Test RFID Tags?
Every SCAN~LINK safety vest and hard hat kit contains multiple embedded passive RFID tags to help provide reliable worker detection from different angles. Regularly testing safety apparel helps verify that each embedded tag is functioning properly before workers enter hazardous areas.

A standard SCAN~LINK detection confirms that
at least one passive RFID tag has been detected. The Tag Health Tester goes a step further by verifying that every embedded RFID tag is present and functioning correctly. This provides a more complete assessment of safety apparel and helps identify damaged or non-functioning tags before they affect worker detection performance.
Verify Every RFID Tag
Confirm that every embedded passive RFID tag is present and functioning correctly.
Reduce Detection Risk
Identify damaged or non-functioning RFID tags that could reduce detection if only those tags are facing the Antenna Unit.
Simplify Maintenance
Quickly verify RFID safety apparel during routine inspections and maintenance.
The Benefits of Passive RFID Tags
SCAN~LINK safety apparel uses passive UHF RFID tags that require no batteries, maintenance, or charging. Passive RFID tags are energized by the SCAN~LINK Antenna only when they enter a detection zone, eliminating false alarms, and providing long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Why should RFID safety apparel be tested?
Regular testing helps confirm that every embedded passive RFID tag is operating correctly before workers enter hazardous areas. If one or more RFID tags become damaged or stop functioning, detection could be reduced when those tags are the only ones facing a SCAN~LINK Antenna. The Tag Health Tester quickly identifies these issues, helping simplify inspections and support reliable worker detection.
Can the Tag Health Tester assign apparel to employees?
Yes. When connected to a computer via USB, the Tag Health Tester can assign specific items of SCAN~LINK RFID safety apparel to individual employees or visitors.
