Introduction
1.1. About the Product
Thank you for choosing Hi-G-Tek quality products.
The Hi-G-Tek range of products provides a highly reliable and secure
cargo and asset monitoring system utilising state-of-the-art RFID
technologies.
Cost-effective, more reliable and more secure than their mechanical
counterparts, the Hi-G-Tek product range will constantly
monitor your assets and alert you to any potential problems
at all times.
The Hi-G-Tek system was developed in order to fill the requirement
of fast, automatic processing of secured cargoes and to provide real
time monitoring of cargoes both in transit and in storage.
The reusable electronic seal automates the processing of secured
cargoes enabling the organization to effectively and economically
process the increasing numbers of containers' traffic in the ports
and between inland destinations.
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 data
collection.
DataSeal's ability to log data and communicate it through a
Handheld DataTerminal is best used In low frequency/short range
applications. This way the electronic manifest of the sealed cargo
can be written into the DataSeal's memory. The information includes
Vehicle ID, container and invoice numbers, cargo description,
quantities, destination, etc. Capable of logging up to 55 events, the
information can be downloaded into a computerised database for
storage and processing.
Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology
1
Introduction
When used in high frequency/long range applications, the DataSeal
is capable of communicating its ID and status to a distance of up to
30 meters. The DataSeal transmits the information in reply to an
interrogation by the DataReader. The ability of the DataSeal to
communicate with the DataReader at long range enables the use
of the DataSeal in applications such as: tracking and sealing
verification of containers in transit, protection of containers in storage,
remote, automatic data collection from secured cargoes as they pass
through 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 DataSeal
and retrieving logged information from the DataSeal. Each
DataReader can communicate with numerous DataSeals
simultaneously and verify their presence and status. The DataReaders
can be chained to allow coverage and protection for secured cargoes
in large storage yards and ports. The DataReader has an optional
communication modem which allows the system to transmit the
collected 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 differ
in 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.

Data Structure
Before going into details, it is important to understand the basic structure
of the events data organization.
Occurrences that cause an event are: SET (setting the seal), OPEN
(opening the wire) or CLOSE (closing the wire), TAMP (tampering with
the seal i.e. changing the seal resistance) and LOW BAT - low battery
warning, S.SET (seal is soft set), RTC (Date/Time data in RAM and
EEPRPOM is corrupted), DB (Database is corrupted), TIME (time has
been changed) and C.SET (Seal is conditional SET).
Every event that occurs is written and stored in the seal's
event memory. A page can contain up to 55 events. For example, after a
new seal SET occurrence, the page will contain the SET event. If a
tampering event occurs, the next READ operation will show the SET
event and the TAMP event.
