i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 3 3.1 Transponder Description Housing The SET and CST i-Q310 transponders are made of a rugged plastic housing with IP 65 rating. On the front side (see Fig. 3.1 and 3.2) there are identification labels, which provide information about the type of the tag, the tag manufacturer and prime contractor, certifications, barcode and the IAW MIL-Std-129P markings where appropriate.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series Figure 3.2 Front view of the CST transponder 3.2 Transponder Data Memory The CST and SET models of the i-Q310 series transponders offer 128 kBytes of non-volatile memory for general purpose and user data. In addition, 32kBytes of non-volatile memory is available for sensor logging. 3.3 USB Interface The transponders are enabled for fast and secure data transfer using USB connection with mini-B connector.

i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 4 4.1 Installation SET Mounting Options The transponders are designed with two mounting holes so they can be firmly mounted onto virtually any surface. The transponder can be mounted using various methods dependent on the particular application. Among the common types of mounting are: • Screws • Rivets • Double sided tape • Wire ties • Mounting bracket (Fig. 4.1 and 4.2) • Magnetic mount (Fig. 4.3) Figure 4.1 The SET mounting bracket Figure 4.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series Figure 4.3 Magnetic mount installation for the SET 4.2 Mounting the SET Transponder The transponder has slots that allow mounting using wire ties without the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has also openings in order to be wire tied to a post or other object (Fig 2.4). Figure 4.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 4.3 Mounting the CST transponder The CST is intended for ISO shipping containers like the one shown below in Fig 4.5. Figure 4.5 ISO container (typical) The CST transponder is shown below mounted in various orientations. The ISO door mount opening on the CST is 55mm (2.17”) shown in Figure 4.6. It must be mounted on the left door with the antenna outside the container and the sensor body and switch mounted inside the container, shown in Figs 4.8 and 4.9.

This means that the transponders are dust tight and water tight. However care should be taken to not immerse in liquids or subject to powerful jets of water.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 5 5.1 Initial Operation Activating the Transponder The i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 transponders needs to be activated. They are shipped with a reversed battery to prevent communication and battery consumption (Fig. 5.1). Figure 5.1 Battery shown reversed with the negative (-) terminal shown. 5.1.1 How to Activate the Transponder Before use, the battery cover has to be opened, battery flipped over and securely closed. This activates the transponder for operation.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 5.1.2 Battery Replacement Procedure Before starting battery replacement regard following instructions: 1. Due to UL safety clauses this battery must be replaced only by skilled personnel. 2. Warning Fire, explosion and burn hazard Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100°(212°F) Do not incinerate, or expose contents to water 3. Use only A size 3.

i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 5.1.3.5 BAT power LED The SET and CST transponders have an LED for battery status as indicated in Fig 5.4. If the battery has more than a 15% charge remaining the LED will be green. Below this level the battery warning flag is set in memory, and the LED will illuminate red. The battery LED will be off when the battery charge is depleted or not installed. 5.2 Configuration The i-Q310 series transponders are not configured directly.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 6 USB Operation Important Note While a transponder is connected via USB to a PC it is continuously powered by the internal battery. In order to save battery life, please close the USB connection and remove the transponder from the USB connection after data transfer. On account of high operating temperature only use usb cable specified up to +80°C (+176°F). 6.1 Using the USB Connection Please see the FDU Software Manual for details. 6.
i-Q310 ISO 18000-7 Transponder Series 7 7.1 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting The transponder does not respond to interrogation at all. • Make sure the battery is inserted in a correct orientation. • Make sure the battery is not depleted. Change the battery. • Tighten the battery cap in order to ensure that both poles are in contact with the transponder’s circuits. The transponder is not accessible through USB.
