station with an indication on which unit sends the data.
The unit is able to send configuration info the gate locators via 869.85/916 MHz (area
dependent)
 Transferring data – the Base‐Station receives over the UHF band. the messages transmitted
by the tags to the gate locator and then to the base station. It can send them a response (to
acknowledge the reception); send data to a main server, trigger local hardware through dry‐
contact interfaces or start a continuous communication session with the tag.
 Independent unit – the unit can function and connect to a server.
Base station can connect the customer computer/management system via Ethernet, GPRS or WIFI.

3.7. LF antennas
LF antenna generates RFID zones by transmitting in a frequency of 125 KHz and sending data. By
generating the RF zones, a tag that is in the range of the detection area of the antenna, is excited and
receives data transferred from the unit through the RFID field and eventually to the tag. Once the tag is
excited, the tag starts to transmit on UHF band, directly to the main unit. After the tag has transmitted
to the unit and receiving process has been made, the unit sends a confirmation signal on UHF band to
the tag and confirming that the data has arrived.
The antenna installation should be in the correct angle (described in the next section), which affects the
reception area of the tags.
By locating the antenna in correct position, the system enables a wide detection range.

3.7 Tags
3.7.1 General
The LogiTrack tags are small and sophisticated transceivers.
A LogiTrack tag is typically dormant until 1 of the following happens:
1. The tag is excited when entering a RF‐Zone generated by the LogiTrack infrastructure (Base‐
stations or exciters). This RF‐Zone is created using a signal in 125 KHz, which the tag
receives. As a result, the tag will wake‐up, and transmit over UHF channel (433 MHz) its
unique identity and the identity of the RF‐Zone it just entered into.
After sending the message over the UHF channel, the Gate locator is able to exchange data
with the tag through direct, bi‐directional communication.
2. The tag takes the decision to send a message over the UHF band due to internal decision
(usually sensor/timer based), or user interaction. For example:
a. The user pressed a button on the tag
b. The temperature sensed by the sensor exceed the threshold and requires raising an
alarm
c. Motion was detected by the sensor
d. Tampering/removal was detected by the sensor
There are several tag options – different tag electronics in different plastic enclosure. Every tag can be
used in any application where it delivers the required performances and operability, yet the majority
was designed to answer specific applications.

Attaching tags to objects
Tags attached to objects especially electrical objects such as computers, laptops, servers trucks and
different metals such as metal boards and etc., can cause RF disruption on tags transmition.
The disruption affects the ranges and transmition of the tag. In order to adjust the system an optimal
location of the tag must be located by testing the tag on a variety of locations on top of the object and
locating the optimal location.
For example the optimal location on an IPAD of an Opto type tag, is on the top right side of the IPAD.
3.7.3
Staff tag functionality
Staff tag has the following buttons and indications:
Staff tag has the ability to excite any other tag from 1m radios (in addition to the regular functionality
explained above).
When pressing on the green button the tag creating a near field signal at 125KHz. if there is other
transponder at its range the tag awakes and transmitting to the exciter/base station. The staff tag get
respond from the exciter/base station with message view at the LCD. Message can be any type of up to
5 characters.
When pressing on the red and yellow button, the tag transmits the exciter/base station to the sensor

3.8 System Ranges
System ranges is divided for three categories:



LF range – the LF antennas generates RF zones which can detect and excite RFID tags from 0‐7
meters. The ranges change when the tags are attached to an electrical\metal object.
UHF range‐ the UHF range is generated by the unit that receives the tags info after the tag has
been detected and excited in the LF RF zone. The ranges can be from 0 ‐25 meters from the tag
to the unit.
The ranges change when the tags are attached to an electrical\metal object.
UHF range between units‐ communication between the base station and the gate locator is
through UHF band (which is different from the UHF band of the tag to gate locator).
The ranges are from 0 – 25 meters from one unit to another.
Environmental disruptions such as concrete with metal surrounding or electrical environment
can cause reduction ranges.

6.4.6
RF zones (Lf antennas) configuration
Each Gate Locator includes 4 ports of LF (Low‐Frequency, 125 KHz) antennas, used for exciting tags
(causing them to transmit). The tag will report to the base‐station the identity of the antenna that
excited it, so the Base‐Station\Gate Locator can report where the tag is located.
The Technician‐Station provides the system administrator with the ability to configure the Base‐Station’s
ports, specifically the following parameters:
1. Enable/Disable the port – The system administrator may choose to enable 1 or more
ports, depending on the deployment required.
2. LF TX Power – The power in which the Base‐Station transmits the LF signal can be fine‐
tunes, thus affecting the range and diameter of the RF‐Zone created from the antenna.
The power is determined in percentage, at steps of 10% (10‐100%).
In addition the following parameters can be determined:
 Antenna name – For continence, the administrator can change the default names
“port 1” – “ port 4” to names that better represent the location in which the
antenna is installed, e.g. “meeting room”, “Floor 1 elevators” etc.
 Tag UHF Power – When a base station is excited through a specific channel, the
Base‐Station is able to respond to the tag and modify its UHF transmission power.
This value is determined in dbm, between 1 (min) to 20 dbm (max, default).

6.4.7 Advanced Operational Parameters
The Technician‐Software provides an interface to enable configuring several advanced operational
parameters of the Base‐Stations. These parameters should be left in their default value, unless a change
is required.
Please consult with LogiTag’s Support before changing one of these values:








Base‐Station ID – A unique identifier of the Base‐Station in a specific project. The
default value is determined in LogiTag’s during production in accordance with
known IDs already active.
Mode :
Inventory‐ this mode defines that the unit will not be active until order has been
sent to perform an inventory count from the base station.
Gate – this mode defines that the unit will be active and every tag that will be
located in the RF zones will be detected.
Tag TX UHF Channel (0‐3)‐To enable better usage of the UHF band, different Base‐
Stations may be set to various channels, thus reducing chances of collisions.
Zero Tags Count – An operational parameters used in tags anti‐collision algorithm.
Default (and recommended) value is 0 (zero), higher values will increase Base‐
Station’s chances to receive all tag, but at lower speed.
LED Brightness – Set the brightness of LED on the Base‐Station’s front panel. Can be
dimmed to reduce visibility in some installations.
UHF TX Power‐ defines the power that the tag will transmit to the unit once
detected in the RF zones.
TX Interval – defines the amount of transmition that the tag will transmit to the unit
per second.
Max Tx‐ defines the number of transmition that the tags will transmit to the unit.

Managing Temperature Sensor:
Tags with temperature sensor can monitor the temperature sensed by the external PT‐100 unit.
The tags include the following logic:
 Monitoring temperature thresholds: A tag can be configured to monitor the temperature
compared with a Minimum and /or Maximum threshold.
 Sample period Reading: The tag can sample the temperature in fixed interval and send the value
to a main server, where thresholds can be monitored.
To Set Minimum And / Or Maximum Thresholds
Preventing LF distractions
In some application and environment the LF signal may suffer from interferences that can cause 2 main
issues:
 Unwanted tag activation (such as activating the buzzer in the tag)
 Unwanted tag exciting that can be caused from electrical distractions such as servers or computers.
To filter unwanted tag activation activates the LF Resistance parameter in order to avoid unwanted tag
exciting.
