Proprietary Notice This document contains confidential information proprietary to IDENTEC SOLUTIONS and may not be used or disclosed to other parties in whole or in part without the prior written authorization from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS.
Radio Frequency Compliance Statement IDENTEC SOLUTIONS is the responsible party for the compliance of the following devices: MODEL: i-Q350 RCM Region/Country Organization Marking EUROPE: EC CE USA: FCC OO4-ILR-IQ350RMU Canada: Industry Canada 3538A-IQ350RMU The user(s) of these products are cautioned to only use accessories and peripherals approved, in advance, by IDENTEC SOLUTIONS.
This product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Please observe the special instructions for their protection. Incorrect handling can damage the unit and cause the invalidation of the warranty. Minimum safety precautions against electrostatic discharge: Establish earth contact before you touch the unit. For example, touch the earthing screw on the unit. Even better: Use an antistatic ribbon and earth yourself permanently for the time you handle the unit.

The system described in this manual is for exclusive operation of trained employees. Only qualified personnel that have knowledge of the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance and repair of the units used. Operational Safety The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the safety measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
Spare Parts We recommend that only personnel, original products, spare and replacement parts authorized by IDENTEC SOLUTIONS be used for installation, service and repair. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS does not accept any responsibility for materials used, work carried out or possible consequences from unauthorized third party vendors. Electrostatic Discharge Semi-conductors of the type MOS or CMOS as well as two-pin types and precision resistance are sensitive to ESD.
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS reserves the right to make changes and updates to the content contained herein. It is the user’s responsibility to contact the service department for any possible changes or updates to operating and maintenance procedures. Updates will be provided upon request. The information in this document may be subjected to changes without prior notice. Check whether delivery is complete and for any damages. If the delivery is not complete or damaged immediately inform the carrier.
The IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ SensorSMART Platform is the latest development in asset management, localization and process optimization. Developed to deliver the last mile in industrial communication, the SensorSMART Platform fulfills a niche not previously addressed by available networks. The SensorSMART Platform takes the complexity out of managing assets, personnel safety monitoring and/or the tracking of valuable cargo and the need for multiple technologies.
Designed to automate the data collection and business processes associated with refrigerated container management in complex marine and intermodal terminal environments, the Reefer Container Monitoring System (RCMS) from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS represents the next generation in ‘plug and play’ wireless reefer monitoring and control.
Polarization of Tags Horizontally Polarized Vertically Polarized Polarization is dependent on orientation and is rotation symmetrical.
i-PORT M350-2 The i-PORT M350-2 is a reader for the i-Q350 and i-B350 series of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’s Response and Broadcast Sensors. Built into a compact housing, the i-PORT M350-2 reads and writes data to the tags at distances of up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on two antennas. The unique, highly sophisticated anti-collision algorithm guarantees identification of thousands of sensors located within the interrogator’s read zone.
Orientation Diagrams: Elliptical polarized antenna Elevation Azimuth For this antenna, the maximum transmit power setting is: A-9185: -8 dBm Linear Polarized Antennas Because of the smaller apex angle (60º), this antenna is more suited to selective data collection and restriction of read zones. Depending on the direction of mounting, the antenna’s field is either vertically or horizontally polarized, requiring the sensor to have the same orientation.

The Tag can be mounted either with cable straps using the 2 slits at each end, by using screws or a magnet as described in the following 3 subchapters.
Important Information 1. Only screws with cylindrical heads are suitable for mounting the tag. We do not advise using countersunk screws. If for some reason this should be necessary, then use only with a suitable counter-sunk cushioning disc (refer to UN 1277). 2. The attached bushing is recommended to protect the plastic around the mounting hole from being damaged when tightening the rivet. 3. Secure the screws with self-locking nuts, spring washers or Nord-lock washers (refer to UN 7014).
This chapter covers how faults can be recognized and rectified. There are potentially four main problem sources: The user control system, including task requirements, communication cables, peripheral units with possible object recognition switches. The SensorSMART platform including peripheral units and their cables, also potential object recognition switches. The environment including large objects between antenna and sensor, electrical disturbance sources, intervention by persons, etc.
When installed correctly the ILR System will operate virtually maintenance free for many years. However, in the event maintenance is required only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to perform the updates, changes and maintenance necessary. Remove dust with a brush or compressed air. If there are fatty or oily substances use a soft cloth moistened with a mild rinsing agent. Warning Do not clean the tag in a dishwasher. Do not sandblast the tag.
