When used in high frequency/long range applications, the DataSeal
is capable of communicating its ID and status to a distance of up to
30 meters. The DataSeal transmits the information in reply to an
interrogation by the DataReader. The ability of the DataSeal to
communicate with the DataReader at long range enables the use
of the DataSeal in applications such as: tracking and sealing
verification of containers in transit, protection of containers in storage,
remote, automatic data collection from secured cargoes as they pass
through check points, etc.
This User's manual includes all the information required for
installing and operating Hi-G-Tek Electronic Seals and
DataTerminals.
The handheld DataTerminal is used for writing information into the
DataSeal's memory at the departure point and retrieving the
information at the destination. Events, logged in the DataSeal's
memory are also downloaded into the DataTerminal for later office
use.
The DataReader is used in long range applications to interrogate the
DataSeals over the high frequency channel for their ID and Status.
The DataReader is also used for writing information into the DataSeal
and retrieving logged information from the DataSeal. Each
DataReader can communicate with numerous DataSeals
simultaneously and verify their presence and status. The DataReaders
can be chained to allow coverage and protection for secured cargoes
in large storage yards and ports. The DataReader has an optional
communication modem which allows the system to transmit the
collected information through available communication channels to
the Control Center. The DataReader is available in both outdoor and
indoor models.
A set of Mounting Fixtures has been developed for the DataSeal
system which allow convenient mounting and removal of the
DataSeal whenever required. The various Mounting Fixtures differ
in the level of protection they provide to the DataSeal as may be
required in various environments.
