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.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 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.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 1. PREFACE 1.1. Preparations This installation manual must be read carefully prior to starting the installation. The described installation works assume that installation materials like cable, antenna and data sensor holder, etc. are available. 1.2. Scope of This Document This document is the hardware description of the i-Q350. This document is intended only for mechanical and electrical installation of these central units. 1.3.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1. Fundamentals 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.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL The SensorSMART Platform infrastructure features mobile readers (i-CARD), fixed readers (i-PORT) and exciters (i-MARK). Network sensors offer the highest functionality within the SensorSMART Platform. Robust and reliable, SMARTsensors monitor temperature, humidity, light, shock, tilt, motion, push button, digital input, Hall sensor, etc.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 2.3.2. Polarization of Sensors Vertically polarized Horizontally polarized Polarization is dependent on orientation and is rotation symmetrical. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 2.4. System Components—Readers 2.4.1. 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 sensors at distances of up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on two antennas.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 2.5. System Components—Antennas IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ antennas are distinguished by their compact design. A variety of antennas can be used, depending on application. The antennas are differentiated by characteristics such as polarization, apex angle, and gain. Optimal fit to the reading zone is achieved by the right choice of antenna (characteristics) and receive sensitivity.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 2.5.2. 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. Because of the greater gain, longer read ranges can be achieved with this antenna compared to the elliptical polarized type above.

i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 1.3 Mounting to container Mounting on container side wall VISIBILITY DELIVERED. Make sure that the tag is mounted with a minimum distance of 50mm from the frame. Shielding of the tag can lead to a performance loss. Best performance can be achiebved with a clear line of sight to the sky.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 1.4 Screws Important Information 1. Tag shall only be mounted on flat and smooth surface. Warped and uneven surface can lead to damages and to water ingress. 2. Mounting holes must not exceed a diameter of 6.5mm. 3. Only screws with cylindrical Allen heads are suitable for mounting the tag. We do not recommend using countersunk screws or screws with hexagon heads. 4. Secure the screws with self-locking nuts, spring washers or Nord-lock washers.

i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 3. INITIAL OPERATION, CONFIGURATION OF THE TAG 3.1. General Important Note Do not open the housing! Configuration is done using the built-in air interface of the i-Q350TLX FL. The Response mode of the i-Q350L GPS -SAT offers the following features for configuration: • Broadcast mode can be configured for simultaneous operation. In this case the tag responds to commands from a reader as well as broadcasts configurable data in a regular interval.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL 3.2. Ping Rate Note: These settings can be found in the Tag Configuration software tool in the section “Broadcast” • Active: Activates or de-activates the broadcast function that regularly sends out messages. • Broadcast Interval: 0 = no broadcast messages are sent, value > 0 = Broadcast interval in seconds. This can be set in steps of 0.5 sec, from 0.5 sec up to 300 sec. • Broadcast Message Options: The options in this field depend on the capabilities of the tag.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL Example This example shows 3 tags (A, B, C) that are simultaneously triggered by a marker loop (LF marker) and are configured to burst 3 times. The timeslot (Time between Bursts) is set to the default value of 40 ms. The last row shows how the random use of the timeslot avoids collision between the tags. 3.3. Impact between measurement, logging and broadcast interval The intervals for temperature measurement, temperature logging and broadcasts can be configured independently.
i-Q350LX GPS -SAT USER MANUAL If the measurement interval is shorter than the broadcast interval, the tag broadcasts the average value measured during the time between broadcasts. In this example the value is an average over the 4 measured values during the broadcasts: Avg. Temperature for Broadcast = MB1 + MB2 + MB3 + MB4 4 With a longer logging interval, the average temperature for logging is calculated as follows: Avg.
