Features
Business Benefits
Data Transmitted by Tags:
 Site/Vendor Code (CSC)*
 A unique code that is allocated by Wavetrend to each customer on request.
 Readers can be set to accept only one specific CSC and ignore tags with
‘incorrect’ site codes
 Tag ID*
 4.2 billion Tag ID’s are available per Site Code (Tag ID is different from the
PUC).
 Tag Age Counter
 The Age Counter allows for advance notification to RFID systems of the
nearing end of the tag’s functional life.
 Uniquely identifies each transmission made by the tag.
 Product Unique Code (PUC)
 Factory set ID for the tag that can function as the tag’s unique ID number
instead of a Site Code/Tag ID combination.
 The user cannot change the PUC.
 Various standard transmission
repetition intervals*
(default is 10 seconds ActivDuo)
(default is 1.5 seconds Active)
Different status transmission intervals allow tags to be configured for use in diverse
applications in a way to ensure 100% system functionality and that the maximum
battery life is achieved, but without overloading the RFID system with too many
unnecessary tag signals.
 Various alert transmission repetition
intervals*
(default is 1.5 seconds, nominal)
 Different alert transmission intervals allow tags to be used in diverse security
applications in a way to ensure 100% system functionality is achieved, but
maximizing the battery life span of the tag.
 When activated, alert transmissions continue for a maximum period of 5
seconds.
 Movement Alert
Provides instant notification of an attempt to move a tag by setting the alarm bit and
entering Alert Tx mode for 5 seconds.
 Movement Counter Value
Increments each time the motion sensor triggers the tag’s alert transmission mode.
This allows an RFID system to determine if Alert Tx mode was initiated because of
movement.
 Tamper Counter Value
Increments each time the tamper sensor triggers the tag’s alert transmission mode.
This allows an RFID system to determine if Alert Tx mode was initiated because of
tampering, or if a tamper event occurred outside of a reading zone.
• Tamper Alert
Provides instant notification of unauthorized attempts to remove a tag from an asset
by setting the alarm bit and transmitting 4 rapid alarm Tx’s.
