Introduction1Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 16The Hi-G-Tek range of products provides a highly reliable and securecargo and asset monitoring system utilising state-of-the-art RFIDtechnologies.1.1. About the ProductThe Hi-G-Tek system was developed in order to fill the requirement for fast, automatic processing of secured cargoes and to provide real time monitoring and improved management of cargoes both in transit and in storage. The DataSeal is a sophisticated device, which includes atransmitter/ receiver unit, real-time clock, processor, memoryand sensing circuitry for sealing verification. The Sealing Wireprevents 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 highfrequency 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 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, theinformation can be downloaded into a computerised database for storage and processing. 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 problemsat all times.The reusable electronic seal automates the processing of securedcargoes enabling the organization to effectively and economically process the increasing numbers of containers' traffic in the ports and between inland destinations.Thank you for choosing Hi-G-Tek quality products.
Introduction1Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 17When 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 to communicate 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.This User's manual includes all the information required for installing and operating Hi-G-Tek Electronic Seals and DataTerminals. 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 for later officeuse. 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 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 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.

DataReader Installation 3Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 443.5. Power Supply RequirementsThe DataReader supply voltage is chosen according to themodel, either 12V, 24V or 48V. Power supply wattage: each Reader consumes maximum 1.7W, so the power should tolerate the number of Readers in the chain multiplied by each Reader's power consumption.EXAMPLE: 10 Readers connected in a daisy chain require 10X1.7=17W power supply. Note that if the power supply is installed in a high temperature 0area (usually above 40 C), there is a derate in power supplywattage. (Refer to power supply manual).For safety reasons, power supply current should be limited to 3A.Current limitation should be done internally in the power supply, or externally with a 3A fuse.In vehicular installation, a 1A fuse must be used. In outdoor and indoor system, the power supply should be installed indoor. For outdoor system, approved power supplies are:For Indoor system, the power supply should be UL1950 approved.A desktop style with IEC320 inlet is recommended.When power supply cable ends are connected directly to system cable,a proper isolation should be made. Using heat shrink tube is recommended.3.6. Cable SelectionThe cable is used for power supply to Readers in a chain and for RS-485 serial communication.For most applications, 3 or 4 pairs of 24AWG shielded cable isadequate.The serial communication requires shielded twisted pair cable, the power supply requires low ohmic resistance of the conductors.
DataReader Installation 3Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 45Example:A setup of 10 DataReaders with 20 meter 24AWG cable betweenReaders and 24v supply to the first Reader The ohmic resistance between Readers is 3.4 Ohms (20 meter of supply and 20 meters of return). Calculating the voltage drop across the lines gives 5v only, left to the last Reader in the chain.This is below Reader specification of Reader minimum supply voltage.Supply: Two main issues should be considered, max current carrying capacity and wire resistance.Max current capacity: For 24AWG cable , the jacket is heated at 1 Cat 0.1A current, max temperature is 80 C. So, this cable can carry amax of 2A at 60 C. ( (80-60)*0.1 ).This calculation should be done for the application specific requirements.Wire resistance: The voltage drop across the cable may cause insufficient voltage to the last readers in chain. Calculation of voltagedrop in a certain setup should be done, in order to avoid this.In most cases, the solution for such problems includes , connectinga pair of wires for the supply ( 2 for supply and 2 for return), usingthicker cable, or using higher temperature rated cable.Environmental considerations: In an outdoor installation ,the cable should withstand all outdoor conditions, that is water proof, temperature,ruggedness etc. Cable connection:1 pair for RXA and RXB signals.1 pair for TXA and TXB signalsSIGNAL GND may be connected to shield or to a pair of wires (shield connection is recommended, though it depends on the noise level of the specific environment). If two conductors are used for supply and return, the ohmic resistance would be 3.4/2=1.7 ohm. The voltage to the last Readerin the chain would then be 17v, well above the minimum voltagerequired. If you experience difficulty calculating the voltage drop across the supply line, contact your distributor for assistance.

Hi-G-DataReader OperationThree LED light indicators are locatedon the left-hand side of the electronicscompartment. Power: The DataReader is activated by connecting it to a power supply. At power ON and self-test the power indicator alternates between the GREEN and RED indicators for several seconds. If the check result is OK, the indicator remains GREEN. If a problem was detected, the indicator remains RED. When performing firmware download:- MCU download, the indicator alternates between GREEN and RED- AVR- the indicator remains offChannel 2 SD/RD: When the indicator is red, the unit is in SD (sending data) mode.When the indicator is green, the unit is in RD (receiving data) mode. When the indicator is off, it is in stand-by mode. Channel 1 SD/RD: This channel is optional. The indicators operate in an identicalmanner to those for channel 2:When the indicator is red, the unit is in SD (sending data) mode. When the indicator is green, the unit is in RD (receiving data) mode. DataReader Operation Instructions4Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 48
