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. Hi-G-Tek Ltd.

Pressing the ESC key will restore the previous reading on the screen. 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. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 31 3 DataTerminal - Operating Instructions If the seal is then opened and closed, the next READ operation will show four events: SET, TAMP, OPEN, CLOSE. 3.9.1. > View Data Selecting the >View Data function opens a screen allowing the user a choice of two EVENT display modes.
