PAT700 Total Organic Carbon Analyzer – Before You Begin
The reader/writer retrieves the data stored on the RFID tags located on the bottom of the
standards bottles. The RFID reader/writers have antennas that emit radio waves and receive
signals back from the tags on the standards bottles. The information provided from the tag
includes the identity of the standard, the standard's concentration, date of expiration and other
pertinent data.
The reader/writer takes the data received from the tag and passes the information in digital
form to the PAT700 processor. The RFID system in the PAT700 can read and write to the
RFID tags attached to the standards bottle. The writing feature allows the PAT700 to write
data to the bottles showing that the bottle has been used and provides for writing of data for
the exclusive excursion sampling feature.
The RFID system in the PAT700 does not require any user intervention to operate. The
system operates automatically when bottle tests are performed. The system automatically
turns on and off to read and write data only when necessary. When enabled, the radio
frequency modulation emitted from the antennas is fixed at 13.56 Mhz. There are no user
serviceable parts associated with the RFID system. The RFID reader/writer board assembly
should only be serviced by a Hach Ultra certified service representative.
Since the RFID labels on the standards bottles contain the data necessary for each standard,
the labels must not be removed from the bottle. Without the label, the RFID reader/writer has
no data to read and will not operate as intended; however, bottles without labels can be run if
the user manually enters data.
