IntroductionChapter 15Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology
The Hi-G-Tek range of products provides a highly reliable and securecargo and asset monitoring system utilising state-of-the-art RFIDtechnologies.Introduction1.1. About the Product16Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking TechnologyThe Hi-G-Tek system was developed in order to fill the requirementof fast, automatic processing of secured cargoes and to provide real time monitoring of cargoes both in transit and in storage. The DataSeal is a sophisticated device, which includes a transmitter/ receiver unit, real-time clock, processor, memory and sensing circuitry for sealing verification. The Sealing Wire prevents any attempt of opening, bypassing or tampering with the seal without alerting the system and recording of the event. The system combines the technological and operational advantages of both low frequency close-range data management AND high frequency long range sealing verification and automatic datacollection.DataSeal's ability to log data and communicate it through a Handheld DataTerminal is best used In low frequency/short rangeapplications. This way the electronic manifest of the sealed cargo can be written into the DataSeal's memory. The information includesVehicle ID, container and invoice numbers, cargo description, quantities, destination, etc. Capable of logging up to 55 events, theinformation can be downloaded into a computerised database forstorage and processing. Cost-effective, more reliable and more secure than their mechanicalcounterparts, the Hi-G-Tek product range will constantly monitor your assets and alert you to any potential problemsat all times.The reusable electronic seal automates the processing of securedcargoes enabling the organization to effectively and economicallyprocess the increasing numbers of containers' traffic in the ports and between inland destinations.Thank you for choosing Hi-G-Tek quality products.
Introduction17Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking TechnologyWhen used in high frequency/long range applications, the DataSealis capable of communicating its ID and status to a distance of up to30 meters. The DataSeal transmits the information in reply to aninterrogation by the DataReader. The ability of the DataSeal tocommunicate with the DataReader at long range enables the use of the DataSeal in applications such as: tracking and sealingverification of containers in transit, protection of containers in storage,remote, automatic data collection from secured cargoes as they passthrough check points, etc.The handheld DataTerminal is used for writing information into the DataSeal's memory at the departure point and retrieving the information at the destination. Events, logged in the DataSeal's memory are also downloaded into the DataTerminal.The DataReader is used in long range applications to interrogate the DataSeals over the high frequency channel for their ID and Status. The DataReader is also used for writing information into the DataSealand retrieving logged information from the DataSeal. Each DataReader can communicate with numerous DataSeals simultaneously and verify their presence and status. The DataReaderscan be chained to allow coverage and protection for secured cargoesin large storage yards and ports. The DataReader has an optionalcommunication modem which allows the system to transmit thecollected information through available communication channels to the Control Center. The DataReader is available in both outdoor and indoor models. A set of Mounting Fixtures has been developed for the DataSeal system which allow convenient mounting and removal of the DataSeal whenever required. The various Mounting Fixtures differin the level of protection they provide to the DataSeal as may be required in various environments.This User's manual includes all the information required for installing and operating Hi-G-Tek Electronic Seals and DataTerminals.

A page can contain up to 55 events. For example, after anew seal SET occurrence, the page will contain the SET event. If atampering event occurs, the next READ operation will show the SET event and the TAMP event. 3MENUHi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 31DataTerminal - Operating Instructions
