Figure 3 WherePort IV Mounting Bracket
6.0 THE WHERETAG
The WhereTag (Figure 4) is pinged by the WherePort IV and responds by transmitting a data message to
the RTLS. The WhereTag is a small device with a magnetic pick up coil and a RF transmitter. It is
mounted to movable assets such as trailers, vehicle assemblies, or storage bins. It transmits a
programmable blink signal. When operating without the WherePort IV, the blink is received by at least
three sensors which enable the system to locate the tag accurately on the site.
The WherePort IV signal is received by a pick up coil in the WhereTag. In the WhereTag III and
WhereTag IV, the coil is oriented along the length of the tag. In WhereTag II it is rotated 30º away from
the length of the tag.
