Page 2 of 7 1. Introduction The Compact Reader is a component of Hi-G-Tek’s wireless monitoring system use for outdoor installations. It allows coverage and protection of secured cargoes or assets in large storage yards and ports. The Compact Reader utilizes RFID technology to communicate with the RFID sensors (data tags /seals) over the UHF channel (433 MHz. or 916MHz). It interrogates their ID, status and user data. Correspondingly, each tag/seal reports its unique identification and anti-tamper alarm status in a short beacon transmission over the high-frequency channel. Each reader is able to communicate with a numerous sensors simultaneously, verifying their presence and status, any changes in status are immediately reported. Using an isolated RS-485 interface, multiple readers can be easily networked together into a single controlling computer. This allows enlarging even further the coverage area of the readers while keeping them synchronized within the field of application. The Compact Reader powered from an indoor power supply & comm. unit (PSC unit) that provides both protected power and isolated serial communication lines. Equipped with RS-232 to RS-485 bi-directional serial communication converter, the PSC unit easily forwards any RFID transaction from the Reader (RS-485) to the controlling computer (RS-232) obtaining continually and real-time monitoring.

ATTENTION • Hi-G-Tek's Compact Reader is distributed to a commercial/industrial use only, and should only be handled by personnel authorized by Hi-G-Tek representatives. • Installation must be performed according to this User Guide. • Using only certified antennas: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. • The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204 and part 15.203. The FCC Wants You to Know This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 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 in accordance with 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 one or more of the following measures: a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. c) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. FCC Warning Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user authority to operate the equipment under FCC Rules. Instructions concerning human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields: A distance of at least 20cm. between the equipment and all persons should be maintained during the operation of the equipment.
