1. Introduction PAL-650 is a wireless tagging and identification system designed for the real-time inventory and tracking of indoor assets. Applications include hospitals, warehouses, sea freight, supermarkets, retail stores, robotic vehicles, manufacturing and security. Utilizing MSSI’s patented ultra wideband (UWB) technology, the PAL-650 system has a real-time, 2-D or 3-D resolution capability of one foot. Much higher resolutions can be achieved with software averaging techniques.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 3. Installation and Operating Instructions The first step in installing the PAL-650 system is to locate and position the passive PAL-650 Receivers.
The Receivers are interconnected (daisy-chained) via CAT-5 cabling, which is also used to provide power to the units from the PAL-650 Hub and Power Distribution System (Figure 3). CAT-5 RS-232 Ethernet Figure 3. PAL-650 Hub and Power Distribution System. Please see the User’s Manual for the PAL-650 Hub and Power Distribution System for information on how to connect the Hub to a separate computer for 3-D display of tag positions; and for instructions on how to calibrate the system.
Figure 5. PAL-650 Tag (disassembled). When delivered, the tags are provided with a protective tab (cf. Figure 6) which disconnects the internal lithium battery from the rest of the tag circuitry. Once this tab is removed, the tag is activated and can then be used for precision localization applications. Figure 6. PAL-650 Tag (before power activation). 4. General Specifications Principle of Operation: Ultra Wideband (UWB) burst transmissions (FCC Part 15, Subpart F) Frequency: 6.
