6 TAG Transmission Timing and Operating Field Strength

6.1 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.

6.1.1.2 The PAT Tag contains a shock sensor and miniature push button switch.

The shock sensor is used to detect movement and the switch is used to

detect removal (Tamper) of the TAG from an item it is adhered to. By

monitoring the sensor and the switch the TAG can determine what sort of

transmission should be transmitted.

6.1.2 Transmission Characteristics

6.1.2.1 Shock Triggered Transmission (automatic)

6.1.2.1.1 The transmission consists of 7 discrete frames of data at a repetition rate of

approximately 0.576s at an output field strength level conforming to paragraph

5.1.1.2.1 above. The total transmission time is approximately 4 seconds. The

transmissions will begin when the shock sensor is disturbed. After the

transmission has stopped the shock sensor will then be interrogated for new

shock events.

6.1.2.2 Tamper Triggered Transmission (automatic)

6.1.2.2.1 The transmission shall consist of 7 discrete frames of data at a repetition rate

of approximately 0.576s at an output field strength level described in

paragraph 5.1.1.2.1 above. The total transmission time is approximately four

seconds. This transmission will begin when the tamper switch is released.

When the tamper switch is re-closed the tamper transmission may be started

again on its release.

6.1.2.3 Routine report (periodic)

6.1.2.3.1 The transmission shall consist of 7 discrete frames of data at a repetition rate

of approximately 0.072s at an output field strength level described in

paragraph 5.1.1.2.2 above. The total transmission time will be 0.9s. This

transmission is repeated every 1 hour (

10 minutes).

6.1.2.3.2 The routine report facility may be disabled by placing switch 4 in the ON

position before the Tag is switched on.
