IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, Inc. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Visibility Delivered. Page 5 of 7 www.identecsolutions.com 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-Q32T active tag. 1.3 Operational Description The i-DQ32T 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. The tag has a low current FSK receiver in the UHF band for a data rate up to 115 Kbps. The PLL stabilized FSK transmitter has a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps. The operation range is 350 meters in open air, with a typical operation life of six years. 1.4 Features 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. 350-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. On-demand communication Eliminates RF flooding by using application-driven read/write operations. UHF operating frequencies Operates on standard North American ISM band frequency so that no radio license is required for operation Non-line-of-sight data transmission Allows tags to be buried while transmitting for improved tracking/locating efficiency.

Page 6 of 7 www.identecsolutions.com 2.0 Configuration The i-Q350T 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. The 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. 4.0 Technical Specifications Performance Read rate Up to 100 tags/s (Identification Code only) Up to 35 tags/s @ 128 bit data reading Max. response time < 10 ms (single tag) Multiple tag handling Up to 2,000 tags in the read zone Communication Read/write range: Up to 350 m (free air) Operating frequency 868 MHz (EC) or 915 MHz (NA) ISM band Data rate (download to tag) 115.2 kbits/s Data rate (upload to reader) 115.2 kbits/s Maximum transmission power 0.75 mW ERP Certification EN 300 220 (EC), FCC Part 15 (US), Industry Canada Electrical Power source Lithium battery (not replaceable) Expected battery life > 2.5 Years @ 600 times 64 bit readings/day Battery monitoring: Yes Data Data retention >10 years without power Write cycles 100,000 writes to a tag Memory size 32Kbytes Identification code 48 bit fixed ID (one in one trillion) Environmental Operating temperature –20°C to +70°C (–4ºF to +158ºF) Shock 50 G; 3 times DIN IEC 68-2-27 1-meter multiple drops to concrete Vibration 3 G; 20 sine wave cycles; 5 Hz to 150 Hz, DIN IEC 6 5 G; noise 5 Hz to 1000 Hz; 30 minutes DIN IEC 68-2-64 Package rating Personnel tag IP69 — Totally sealed against moisture and dust Physical Dimensions: personnel tag 55 mm x 28 mm x 6 mm Case material: Macromelt OM 652 Mass: 27 grams
