3 System Description The Intelitag™ electronic tagging system, also distributed under the ParSec trade name, is a radio based short to long range tagging system for the protection and monitoring of assets. The system operates at a nominal frequency of 418MHz as a Low-Power, Non-Licensed Transmitter in accordance with FCC Part 15 Subpart C for intentional Radiators (TAGs) and Subpart B for unintentional radiators (Reader).
4 4.1 Reference Documentation Reference Documentation 4.1.1 FCC Part 15 Subpart C for intentional transmitters 5 5.1 Transmission Requirements FCC rules 5.1.1 Transmission Categories and Levels 5.1.1.1 The PAT, SAT and RAT tag transmissions fall into three categories. These are, a) Automatic, b) Periodic and c) control signals. 5.1.1.2 The maximum Field Strength levels that apply for each category are as follows: 5.1.1.2.1 Automatic 10333uV/M (80.28dBuV/M) 5.1.1.2.2 Periodic 4410 uV/M (72.
6 6.1 TAG Transmission Timing and Operating Field Strength PAT TAG 6.1.1 Operating Description 6.1.1.1 The Portable Intelitag (PAT) has been designed to allow the movement of mobile assets within a controlled area or building, whilst denying or monitoring the removal from, and re-entry of the assets into the area. The PAT is normally detected when it enters the short-range zone of a universal Reader; however it’s other transmissions, including tamper, will be detected by a reader at long range. 6.1.1.
6.2 SAT TAG 6.2.1 Operating Description 6.2.1.1 The Static Intelitag (SAT) has been designed primarily to protect equipment such as computers and their internal components, and all other types of static office equipment. However, the SAT is highly versatile and can be used to protect any static article including hospital and laboratory equipment, works of art and any item of significant value. The SAT can be detected at a range of up to 75m in clear space 6.2.1.
6.3 RAT TAG 6.3.1 Description 6.3.1.1 The Range Adjustment TAG (RAT) is used to remotely turn on and off the Reader’s short-range reception field at a required distance. This varies the range at which the PAT tag’s shock activated transmission’s can be received. 6.3.1.2 The R.A.T. comprises two PCB assemblies connected by a screened 6 core cable (approximately 6cms long) enclosed in an ABS enclosure with external buttons. The main PCB is identical to the PCB in the SAT and PAT.
6.3.2.1.3 The Plus and Minus range buttons are used to increment the range of the Reader either out or in respectively to the users desired position. 6.3.2.2 The characteristics of the RAT remain unaltered throughout its operation. © BASYS TECHNOLOGY LIMITED 1998 Page 10 of 11 41176.DOC The copyright in this document is vested in Basys Technology Limited.
