1. Introduction
The Compact eLink Reader is a detection device usually used as a departure alarm.
Compact eLink Reader detects the presence of eXI wrist or asset transponders within
a prescribed detection zone. Compact eLink Reader may be used to:
• Alert if people or property at risk are near an egress or danger zone.
• Automatically open doors or activate equipment when a tag is present.
• Indicate proximity of any "tagged" item or person.
The system application is defined in Firmware. For example, the device when con-
figured as Assetrac ProtecPoint system controller, will identify only Asset Tags as
valid.
The Compact eLink Reader is simple to install and uses eXI's high reliability RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) protocols to ensure accurate detection. A tag is
sensed when it enters a detection field that is set up around the eXI Compact eLink
Reader Controller. This system uses an optional wireless keypad to control bypass
functions, accepting alarms and changing passwords. The Compact eLink Reader is
a valued priced system designed to be used as a stand alone or networked system to
protect smaller perimeters.
