L-Series W-Series
Transmits a Unique ID Number
Allows for the unique identification of every tag in
an RFID system, and by extension, the asset or
person the tag is attached to or carried by.
; ;
Incorporates a motion sensor as standard
Provides immediate notification if movement of the
tag occurs. This allows the tag to operate in two
modes – more frequent transmissions when in alert
mode (i.e. when movement or tampering occurs),
or less frequent transmissions when in standard or
‘at rest’ mode.
; ;
Transmits up to 25 characters of user defined
information
Allows for additional data to be stored and
transmitted by the tag, such as an Electronic
Product Code (EPC) identifier or Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN), in addition to the
unique tag ID number (the PUC)
: ;
Transmits on a regular basis (called ‘status
transmissions’).
The next transmission is initiated randomly
within a very short period of time after the user
programmed transmission or ‘Tx’ interval has
elapsed after the previous transmission.
Regular transmissions at short intervals (typically
10 seconds) provide near real time tracking
capability of tagged assets or personnel, while still
providing an exceptional functional lifespan
; ;
Transmits on an exceptional basis (called
‘alarm’ or ‘alert’ transmissions’) immediately on
activation of either the tamper sensor (if
armed) or the movement sensor.
Provides real time indication of any attempt to
tamper with a tag or move a tagged asset, with
alert transmissions being made at short intervals
(typically 1.5 seconds) for a period of 5 seconds.
; ;
Transmits additional tag information, such as
the tag type, the tag’s standard transmission
interval, the status of the alarm bit, the status
of the tamper bit, the motion sensor counter
and the tamper sensor counter.
Allows for advanced application functions to be
built into the RFID system to fully utilize the RFID
hardware’s capabilities.
; ;
The user can configure the combination of data
the tag will transmit by using a tag programmer
Increases tag life span and tag capacities by
reducing the amount of data transmitted to the
minimum data required by the RFID system.
: ;
Collision avoidance algorithm
Reduces loss of data through simultaneous
transmissions from multiple tags. The
randomization of the transmission interval aids the
collision avoidance algorithm.
;
;
(enhanced)
Ultra low power consumption
Life span of 7+ years when transmitting at the
standard 10 second or greater interval
; ;
All tags sealed to IP64 standards or higher Splash proof and intrinsically safe capable
; ;
All tags can be configured, activated or deactivated by the user by using a desktop tag programmer
(PG101-A) available for purchase from Wavetrend or any of its Accredited Partners.
; ;
Data Transmitted by Tags:
 Site/Vendor Code (CSC)*
 A unique code that is allocated by Wavetrend
to each customer on request.
 Readers can be set to accept only one
specific CSC and ignore tags with ‘incorrect’
site codes
