Base Station Radio
The C004 base station radio is an autonomous transceiver that is used primarily for the identification,
control and management of assets using RF (radio frequencies). The base station may be used in
conjunction with active transponders which may be affixed to assets with which it can communicate in
order to collect data.
System description.
The base station system has been developped with the goal of providing the following services.
Data transfer, logging and Telemetrie
Temperature monitoring
Humidity monitoring
Automated inventory management
Automated fleet management
Stolen vehicle tracking
Alarm signal communication (CID)
The use of the base station enables automated and remote data collection. It also offers the ability to
control and monitor the property on which our porprietary transceivers are affixed. This monitoring and
control is done according to schedules and specific conditions that have been previously established.
The base station operates using a communication protocol that is both highly secure and robust. It
contains a proprietary information recovery and paterning encoding.
The base station was developed in order to minimize the use of space while also minimizing its visibility.
This equipment was also developed so that it can operate with great efficiency, thus providing greater
autonomy in emergency situations (backup battery operation). One of the main criteria for the
development was reduced operating cost. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that energy consumption
is kept to a minimum by maximizing overall system efficiency.
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Please note: The minimum separation distance between the device's antenna and all persons during normal operation is 1 meter.
Warning: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Do not
attempt to tamper or make any changes to this device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux
deux conditions suivantes:
(1)l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2)l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Avertissement RF conformité de l’exposition. L’antenne (s) utilisée pour cet émetteur doit être installée pour fournir une distance de séparation d’au
moins 1 mètre de toutes personnes et ne doit pas être situé à proximité ou fonctionner en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur.
Tout changement ou modification non expressément approuvé par la partie responsable de la conformité risque d’invalider l’autorisation accordée à
l’utilisateur d’utiliser cet appareil. Les utilisateurs et les installateurs doivent recevoir des instructions d’installation de l’antenne et des conditions de
fonctionnement du transmetteur satisfaisant le respect de l’exposition aux RF.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
1) Installation must be performed only by trained and authorized technicians and installers.
2) Antenna gain information for calculation purposes is 8.0dBi. Please see model information in
specification section of this document.
3) This equipment is certified for use with a minimum length of coaxial cable in order to satisfy
maximum output guidelines as per the folowing guideline. The coaxial cable and antenna
installation must provide a maximum gain of 6dBi therefore cable length must provide a minimum
loss of 2.1dBi as per the following information:
a. FXL780 @ 1.14db loss /100ft (minimum installation length = 185ft) Main feed line use
only.
b. AVA-5-50XF @ 1.14db loss /100ft (minimum installation length = 185ft) Main feed line
use only.
c. FXL540 @ 2.09db loss /100ft (minimum installation length = 105ft) Main feed line and or
jumper use.
d. LDF4-50A @ 2.13db loss /100ft (minimum installation length = 100ft) Main feed line and
or jumper use.
Caracteristics
Advantages
Benefits
Rugged
reinforced fibre
glass enclosure
The base station enclosure is made
of moulded high density and
reinforced fiberglass material.
The enclosure is extremely solid and
resistant thus garanteeing durable
protection. The enclosure is also built
to whithstand elevated temperatures.
Autonomous and
automated
operation
Our system is the only electronic
system for automated identification
and management that can operate
autonomously.
Remote and autonomous operation
helps to reduce overall operating and
maintenance costs.
Active LR (RFID)
This systeme offers the possibility of
remotely identifiying data in an
automated and secure fashion.
Remote and secure data identification
and collection provides and
independent and covert data flow.
Secure and
robust
communication
protocol
The RF environment is more and
more saturated, hense the need for
robust communication means.
Data is transmitted using an encoding
system that maintains a very high
degree of data integrity. It is therefore
possible to recover data even in
extreme circumstances.
