2.1 Hints
Mounting Kit
DIN Rail Clamp
Mounting Kit with DIN Rail Clamp
The i-PORT M 350 RTLS is plugged into the mounting kit. Between the mounting kit and the reader
module there is 5 mm space left for the screws.
It is intended to always use the mounting kit. If mounting on a DIN rail is desired, the additional
clamp is mounted on the rear side of the mounting kit.
Use the two mounting holes (diameter 4,5 mm) to attach the mounting kit to a suitable mounting
surface. Once the mounting kit is fixed, plug in the i-PORT M 350 RTLS reader.
Enclosure rating is IP40 without the end cap and IP64 with. If greater enclosure rating is required, the
i-PORT M 350 RTLS must be placed in an additional protective housing, in this situation the end cap
could be removed.

5 Maintenance
5.1 General
In principle, the ILR system is maintenance-free. When correctly installed it operates for many years
without any problems.
5.2 Precautionary Maintenance
Regular checking of all ports and cables belonging to the system is recommended. Unstable
connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and therefore should be repaired
as soon as possible.
A Brief Checklist
• Are all casing intact?
• Are all cables intact?
• Are all connectors intact?
• Are all connectors securely fastened?
• Are all screws still tight?
• Is there suddenly a malfunction at a specific unit?
RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual
Page 28 of 30
5.3 Spare Parts
5.3.1 Recommended spare parts stock
In order to keep the down time of the system during malfunctions as short as possible it is
recommended to have certain spare parts in stock. At least one central unit, one antenna and one
antenna cable should be available. With larger systems with more than approx. 15 i-PORTs the
doubling of the recommended stock quantity should be considered.
Furthermore, it is recommended to have several spare tags in stock,
corresponding to approx. 0.5 – 1 % of the total number of tags.
5.3.2 Preparing the spare parts
In general all spare parts can be used immediately after delivery from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS.
However, for the compact communicator there are various settings of the communication parameters.
In order to keep the down times short it is recommended to set these parameters before the
component is entered into the spare part stock system. In most cases all units within an identification
system are used in the same way so that only one setting is required.
5.3.3 Examination and repair of exchanged parts
The data tags and compact communicators are complex electronic power units on which the customer
can carry out only very limited repairs. Normally the repairs are carried out at IDENTEC SOLUTIONS
or possibly at a distributor. Before a part is sent in for repair a short examination should be carried
out.
5.4 Returns
Parts or main components returned for repair or exchange must be handled with great care. PC cards
must be returned in the appropriate ESD-protecting packaging material.
All returns should include a completed returns form (see appendix) and be sent to the local distributor
or to:
