Safety Instructions
The system described in this manual is for exclusive operation of trained employees. Only qualified
personnel that have knowledge of the potential dangers involved should perform the installation,
settings, maintenance and repair of the units used.
Operational Safety
The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the
safety measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
If there is a possibility that safe operations cannot be guaranteed, the system must be switched off,
secured against accidental use and the service unit responsible immediately informed.
Safety Documents
The i-MARK was designed, tested and supplied in perfect condition according to document IEC348
Safety Requirements for Electronic Units of Class 1.
Condensate / Change of Temperature
To avoid condensation in the system, the unit must be allowed to slowly adjust itself to warmer
temperatures after removal from cold and cool environments.
Do not open the housing
There is no need to open the housing in order to set the i-MARK unit. The unit does not have any
internal setting elements or displays. The i-MARK is not configured directly.
Connections / Power Supply
The supply circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the SELV circuits (see EN 60950).
During maintenance damage could occur if printed circuit boards or cables are connected or
disconnected whilst the power supply is still on. Therefore, only work on the connection and the
components when they are not live.
Fuses
Only experts who are aware of the dangers involved may replace the fuses. It must be ensured that
only fuses of the required current rating and the correct type are used for replacement. The use of
repaired fuses and/or short-circuiting the fuse holders is prohibited.
Spare Parts
We recommend that only personnel, original products, spare and replacement parts authorized by
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS be used for installation, service and repair. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS does not
accept any responsibility for materials used, work carried out or possible consequences from
unauthorized third party vendors.
Electrostatic Discharge
Semi-conductors of the type MOS or CMOS as well as two-pin types and precision resistance are
sensitive to ESD. All components, printed circuit boards and auxiliary systems should therefore always
be classed as sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Before opening the cover the unit should be placed onto an ESD-protected surface. As with all work
on modern electronic modules, the use of ESD clamps and ESD mats during work on the unit is
recommended.
Sufficiently protect all printed circuit boards that were removed from the unit from damage.
Observe all normal precautions for the use of tools.
Use ESD-protected packaging material.
Never use measuring units with low impedance for measuring or testing systems with semi-conductor
components. Never use high voltage testing units or dielectric test units to test systems with semi-
conductor components.
If it is necessary to check the isolating properties of the field wiring, the assemblies (electronic units
and sensors) should be disconnected.
Earth the test units.
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS does not accept the return of products where the regulations concerning the
ESD precautions and protective packaging materials were not followed.
ESD – Electrostatic Discharge
EMC – Electromagnetic Compatibility
SELV – Safety Extra Low Voltage – Protective measure against dangerous body currents, formerly: protective first voltage range

i-SHARE Manual
Specific sensor manuals
The IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ SensorSMART Platform is the latest development in asset management,
localization and process optimization. Developed to deliver the last mile in industrial communication,
the SensorSMART Platform fulfills a niche not previously addressed by available networks.
The SensorSMART Platform takes the complexity out of managing assets, personnel safety monitoring
and/or the tracking of valuable cargo and the need for multiple technologies. The unique combination
of active RFID, RTLS and WSN in one platform eliminates the necessity for complex deployments of
multiple technologies, or the need to compromise with one technology’s specific functionalities. The
pinnacle of the SensorSMART Platform is that it captures the best of RFID, WSN, and RTLS while also
avoiding the less desirable features of each technology. Third party application development is also
simplified for added flexibility.
Fixed Reader
The i-PORT M350-2 is a reader for the i-Q350 and i-B350 series of
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’s Response and Broadcast Sensors. Built into a
compact housing, the i-PORT reads and writes data to the sensors at
distances of up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on two antennas.
Connection to the host system is established via a RS422 interface,
resulting in the capability to connect up to 8 readers in a Daisy Chain
using commercially available CAT 5 cables and connectors.
A simple master/slave protocol enables data exchange. Not only does
the protocol contain the data received from the sensor but it can also
provide information about the time of data reception, field strength
and information about the number of times the sensor has been
received by the reader.
Mobile Reader
The battery powered mobile reader with Bluetooth and
USB interface communicates with a wide spectrum of
handheld devices and tablet computers.
It is ideally suited for mobile applications such as laydown
yards or personnel safety.
With its integrated Bluetooth interface, the mobile reader
can communicate to a wide range of mobile devices
independent from platform or operating system.
The combination of low power components, smart battery
management and the high performance battery allows an
operational time of more than 8 hours. The battery can be
recharged within a very short recharge cycle via USB.
The compact housing with internal antenna is designed to be mounted onto a mobile device or a
tablet computer.

Cycle Delay
This chapter covers how faults can be recognized and rectified. There are potentially four main
problem sources:
The user control system, including task requirements, communication cables, peripheral units with
possible object recognition switches.
The SensorSMART platform including peripheral units and their cables, also potential object
recognition switches.
The environment including large objects between antenna and sensor, electrical disturbance
sources, intervention by persons, etc.
The quality of the technical design, including alignment between antenna, data, ratio of task
requirements/available communication time etc. The information about system performance is
contained in the relevant datasheets.
When planning the total system, not overlook the problem sources and “Fault finding procedures on
system level” should be included in the host system. How this could look in detail depends on the
relevant system concept and very likely varies from one system to another.
LF: Green when LF message is sent.
COM: UHF communication – if broadcast is sent,
LED goes green; if a packet is received as a
valid answer, LED goes orange.
RUN: Green when device is powered.
When installed correctly the SensorSMART system will operate virtually maintenance free for many
years. However, in the event maintenance is required only trained and authorized personnel are
permitted to perform the updates, changes and necessary maintenance.
Remove dust with a brush or compressed air. If the device has come in contact with greasy or oily
substances use a soft cloth moistened with a mild rinsing agent. Do not use cleaning products
containing chemical additives.
A regular check of the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and
malfunctions of the system and should therefore be repaired as soon as possible.
A Brief Checklist
Are all housings intact?
Are all cables intact?
Are all connectors intact?
Are all connectors securely fastened?
