A -4– 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-Q8C active tag. 1.3 Operational Description The i-Q8C 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 a durable, shock resistant housing for use in harsh environments. The operation range is 30 meters (100 feet) in open air, with a typical operation life of three years. The primary feature of this tag is its ability to connect to an ancillary device and record its hours of operation. This device may include a vehicle engine, or other device with a switch such as a lawnmower or portable generator. Document # 9000-020, Rev. A -5– 2.0 Configuration The i-Q8C tag interfaces to the device through a standard eight pin automotive connector. Only two of the eight pins are used in any installation. The following diagram provides the pin number and functionality: Pin Number Function System ground IN-N terminal – This is used is a switch to ground application when the device does not have a battery or alternator signal. IN-P terminal – This is used to record operating hours when connecting the tag to a battery or alternating signal. NOTE: In each installation, you will make a connection to either one of pins 3 or 4, and system ground. 3.0 Mounting the Tag The tag is designed with two mounting holes so it can firmly mount onto virtually any surface. It can mount 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. When mounting the tag, consideration should be placed on where the connector is located. Avoid placement of the tag in a manner that will put stress on the connector from the wiring harness. Although operation may not be effected, it may cause premature failure of the wiring harness. A key element in positioning the tag is also its location relative to the interrogation antennas. Do not place the tag in a metallic cavity, as this will reduce the ability to retrieve the hour meter log information from the tag and also reduce the effective communication range of the tag. For best performance, position the tag on a non-metallic backing with visibility to the interrogation antennas. Document # 9000-020, Rev.
