1.0 Introduction
1.1 Fundamentals
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR® (Intelligent Long Range®) technology is the next generation of
long range RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The objective is wireless and automated
data collection over large distances.
1.2 System Overview
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR-System consists of four main components:
• Active tags (also called transponders) with internal power supply, which are used to
identify goods or to store data and histories
• Interrogator (i-PORT; fixed-mounted) and handheld devices (mobile), which exchange
information with the tags and host computer systems
• Antennas for definition of read zone
• A central computer system as basis for control and monitoring
This manual only describes the operations of the i-D2 active tag.
1.3 Operational Description
The i-D2 tag is a high performance active RFID tag suitable for a wide variety of
applications. The tag response to an activation telegram from the interrogator is to
transmit its unique identification number. It is available in either a personnel or industrial
style housing, and in two receive sensitivity modes, low or high.
The tag has a low current ASK receiver in the UHF band for a data rate up to 38.4 Kbps.
The PLL stabilized ASK transmitter has a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps.
The operation range is 6 meters (20 feet) in open air, with a typical operation life of six
years.

1.4 Features
Features Benefits
Low cost Tracks large quantities of assets economically using high-
speed active technology.
2000-tag simultaneous
identification Provides high-speed data collection to facilitate warehousing
and inventory-based applications.
Wireless triangulation Allows fast, precise location of assets in a warehouse or an
inventory yard.
64-byte data memory Stores process information onto the tag to provide real-time
tracking and tracing.
100-tags/sec.
identification rate Provides reliable identification of fast moving objects.
6-meter read/write
range Allows identification, tracking and tracing of personnel and
assets without human intervention.
LED (option) Provides visual identification of an addressed tag (pick-to-
light).
6-year battery life time
Delivers long time maintenance-free operation, without
battery replacement.
Credit card-style
packaging Offers thin, lightweight, versatile packaging in two styles
suitable for personnel or asset tracking.
On-demand
communication Eliminates RF flooding by using application-driven read/write
operations.
UHF operating
frequencies Operates interchangeably on standard North American and
European ISM band frequencies so the same infrastructure
can be used for global transport.
Non-line-of-sight data
transmission Allows tags to be buried while transmitting for improved
tracking/locating efficiency.

2.0 Configuration
The i-D2 tag requires no special configuration. Options are configured at the factory. It is
controlled by commands from the ILR Interrogation device.
3.0 Mounting the Tag.
3.1 Industrial Tag
The industrial tag is designed with two mounting holes so it can be firmly mounted onto
virtually any surface. It can be mounted using various methods dependent on the
particular application.
Among the common types of mounting are:
• Screws
• Rivets
• Double sided tape
Note: Mounting hardware is not supplied with the tag.
3.2 Personnel Tag
The personnel tag is designed with only one mounting hole so a chain or clip device (not
supplied) worn by an individual can be used to hold the tag.
