OVERVIEW Introduction The Portable RSE is a hand-held device that can read all IAG-compatible On Board Units (OBUs). The OBU data is stored in the Portable RSE where it can be viewed and later downloaded to a Lane Controller (LC). The Portable RSE supplements existing Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems and can be used for applications such as valet parking, transponder screening, and enforcement. Portable RSE components The Portable RSE consists of a Reader module joined to an Ultra-Rugged Field PC and has of the following components: • battery: This device comes with a lithium ion rechargeable battery pack. • external power supply: The external power supply connects to AC power and supplies 12V DC to the Portable RSE. This external power supply charges the battery while it powers the device. • short-range antenna: range of approx. 5 ft. • optional remote antenna: reach of approx. 8 ft. • 50 Ω terminating resistor: this resistor is connected to terminate one of the antenna terminals when that terminal is not connected to an antenna. • removable belt clip • removable hand strap • stylus (see page 12 for more information)

FILE: P-RSE USER MANUAL - UM360453-700 REV_C.DOCX 08/19/2016 1:44 Kapsch TrafficCom How the Portable RSE works When an OBU read is initiated, the Portable RSE scans for any IAG-protocol OBUs within range. OBUs within range respond by transmitting their data to the Portable RSE. This data is then decoded and displayed on the LCD. The Portable RSE includes a standard whip antenna that allows the unit to read OBUs at a distance of approximately 5 feet. An optional remote antenna is available that can extend the reach of the device to approximately 9 feet. The Portable RSE does not write to the OBU. Data Storage The data read by the Portable RSE is stored internally in the Portable RSE where it can be either be viewed or downloaded to the LC. The Portable RSE can store data from a maximum of 1000 OBU reads. Once 1000 OBUs have been read, the data must be downloaded to an LC or erased before more OBUs can be read. OBU data is automatically erased from the Portable RSE once it has been downloaded to the LC. See Erasing OBU data on page 38 for more information. Synchronization When performing a read, the Portable RSE checks for incoming RF signals from toll plaza Readers. If trigger pulses from toll plaza Readers are detected, the Portable RSE determines the length of time between trigger pulses (i.e. the length of the superframe) and sends its own trigger pulse when it is unlikely to conflict with the toll plaza Reader. This ensures data is not corrupted in either the Portable RSE or toll plaza Readers. Note: To avoid potential performance impacts on toll plaza Readers, the Portable RSE must be positioned in accordance with the requirements of this section.
