i-Q350 RCM 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-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 3. INTRODUCTION 3.1. Fundamentals 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.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 3.2.2. Polarization of Sensors Vertically Polarized Horizontally Polarized Polarization is dependent on orientation and is rotation symmetrical. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 3.3. System Components—Readers 3.3.1. 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-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL Orientation Diagrams: Elliptical polarized antenna Elevation Azimuth For this antenna, the maximum transmit power setting is: • A-9185: -8 dBm 3.4.2. 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.

i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 4. TAG MOUNTING SOLUTIONS 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. 4.1. Cable Straps 4.2. Screws VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 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.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 4.3. Magnet (optional) The tag can be easily removed by grabbing it on the part of its body with the cable outlet. Slightly pull it off the wall and the magnetic holding force is removed at once. DO NOT pull the cable. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 5. CONNECTING TO THE REEFER CONTROLLER Safety Instructions A screened cable must be used for the data cable. Important Note The total cable runs between tag and the monitored device must not exceed a total of 15 m. This is due to limitations of the RS232 (EIA-232) standard. Connecting the i-Q350 RCM to the controller 3 of the 5 connector pins are coded with a small edge to align correctly the plug and connector.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL Step 3 Align the bayonet locking mechanism by rotating the outer ring on the male connector. Step 4 Press both connector together and lock the bayonet mechanism to insure proper electrical connection and weatherproofness. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 6. ACCESSORIES In order to accomodate different installations and to operate with most of the reefer container's plug's variation, we are providing several accessories. 6.1. Extension Cable We are providing a 2 meters (6 ft) extension cable to accomodate installation where the i-Q350 RCM is installed on racks. The extension cable can be used between the i-Q350 RCM and an adaptor. Up to 5 extension cables can be connected together to reach greater distances.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 6.2. Adaptors Multiple adaptors are available in order to connect the i-Q350 RCM to different type of reefer controllers. Each adaptor is 50 centimeters (19 inches) long and use the standard 5 pin Deustch female connector to connect to the tag. Adaptors can be use in combination with extension cable. Hereafter are the list of adaptors available for the RCMS solution.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 6.3. Connecting to the tag Follow the process hereafter to connect the extension cable or adaptors to the i-Q350 RCM. Step 1 Align the male connector of the i-Q350 RCM tag to the female connector of the adaptor or extension cable. In order to align correctly the connectors, use the indent and edges highlighted on the pictures on the left. Step 2 Connect the male connector to the female connector.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL Step 4 Press both connector together and lock the bayonet mechanism to insure proper electrical connection and weatherproofness. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 7. TROUBLESHOOTING 7.1. General 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.
i-Q350 RCM USER MANUAL 8. MAINTENANCE 8.1. General 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. 8.2. Regular Cleaning of The Surface 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.
