Note: T his manual uses the term DataSeal to refer to any member of this
family of product s, unless otherwise specified.
The most significant purposes of the DataSeal are:
 Track any attempts of opening, bypassing or tampering.
 Record events when tamper occurs.
 Write and read user data.
The reusable electronic seal automates the processing of secured cargoes
enabling the organization to effectively and economically process the
increasing numbers of containers’ traffic in the ports and between inland
destinations.
The DataSeal includes a transmitter / receiver unit, real-time clock,
processor, memory and sensing circuitry for sealing verification. The
Sealing Wire

prevents any attempt of opening, bypassing or tampering
with the seal without alerting the system and recording of the event. T he
system combines the technological and operational advantages of both low
frequency close-range AND high frequency (UHF) long range for sealing
verification and other communications with the DataSeal.
The low frequency (short range) communication protocol is used by the
DataTerminal, the DataPort and the MicroDataReader. This channel of
communication is useful for writing the electronic manifest of the sealed
cargo into the DataSeal's memory. For example: this information can
