Document # 7000-0001, Rev. A - 5 – 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-D2 active tag. 1.3 Operational Description The i-D2 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 either a personnel or industrial style housing, and in two receive sensitivity modes, low or high. The tag has a low current ASK receiver in the UHF band for a data rate up to 38.4 Kbps. The PLL stabilized ASK transmitter has a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps. The operation range is 6 meters (20 feet) in open air, with a typical operation life of six years.
Document # 7000-0001, Rev. A - 6 – 1.4 Features Features Benefits Low cost Tracks large quantities of assets economically using high-speed active technology. 2000-tag simultaneous identification Provides high-speed data collection to facilitate warehousing and inventory-based applications. Wireless triangulation Allows fast, precise location of assets in a warehouse or an inventory yard. 64-byte data memory Stores process information onto the tag to provide real-time tracking and tracing. 100-tags/sec. identification rate Provides reliable identification of fast moving objects. 6-meter read/write range Allows identification, tracking and tracing of personnel and assets without human intervention. LED (option) Provides visual identification of an addressed tag (pick-to-light). 6-year battery life time Delivers long time maintenance-free operation, without battery replacement. Credit card-style packaging Offers thin, lightweight, versatile packaging in two styles suitable for personnel or asset tracking. On-demand communication Eliminates RF flooding by using application-driven read/write operations. UHF operating frequencies Operates interchangeably on standard North American and European ISM band frequencies so the same infrastructure can be used for global transport. Non-line-of-sight data transmission Allows tags to be buried while transmitting for improved tracking/locating efficiency.
Document # 7000-0001, Rev. A - 7 – 2.0 Configuration The i-D2 tag requires no special configuration. Options are configured at the factory. It is controlled by commands from the ILR Interrogation device. 3.0 Mounting the Tag. 3.1 Industrial Tag The industrial tag is designed with two mounting holes so it can be firmly mounted onto virtually any surface. It can be mounted 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. 3.2 Personnel Tag The personnel tag is designed with only one mounting hole so a chain or clip device (not supplied) worn by an individual can be used to hold the tag.
