1.2 Key Features and Benefits of ActivDuo
Key Tag Features
Business Benefits
Transmits a Unique ID Number
Allows for the unique identification of every tag in an RFID system, and by
extension, the asset or person the tag is attached to or carried by.
Incorporates a motion sensor as standard
Provides immediate notification if movement of the tag occurs. This allows the tag
to operate in two modes – more frequent transmissions when in alert mode (i.e.
when movement or tampering occurs), or less frequent transmissions when in
standard or ‘at rest’ mode.
Transmits on a regular basis (called ‘status
transmissions’).
The next transmission is initiated randomly
within a very short period of time after the user
programmed transmission or ‘Tx’ interval has
elapsed after the previous transmission.
Regular transmissions at short intervals (typically 10 seconds) provide near real
time tracking capability of tagged assets or personnel, while still providing an
exceptional functional lifespan
Transmits on an exceptional basis (called
‘alarm’ or ‘alert’ transmissions’) immediately on
activation of either the tamper sensor (if
armed) or the movement sensor.
Provides real time indication of any attempt to tamper with a tag or move a
tagged asset, with alert transmissions being made at short intervals (typically 1.5
seconds) for a period of 5 seconds.
Transmits additional tag information, such as
the tag type, the tag’s standard transmission
interval, the status of the alarm bit, the status
of the tamper bit, the motion sensor counter
and the tamper sensor counter.
Allows for advanced application functions to be built into the RFID system to fully
utilize the RFID hardware’s capabilities.
Ultra low power consumption
Life span of 5+ years when transmitting at the standard 10 second or greater
interval
All tags sealed to IP64 standards or higher Splash proof and intrinsically safe capable
All tags can be configured, activated or deactivated by the user by using a desktop tag programmer (PG101-A) available for
purchase from Wavetrend or any of its Accredited Partners.
