TagMaster AB HW Installation Guide SAFETY NOTICE Manual issue 01 Specific warning and caution statements are used throughout this manual. CAUTION is used to indicate correct operation or maintenance procedures in order to prevent damage to, or destruction of the equipment or other property. -
Page 11: System Components
The hardware of a TagMaster system is described briefly below. Communicators The S1566 Reader is a device for reading and writing ID Tags using 2.45 GHz microwaves. It is powered with 12 VDC but can be adopted for 24 VDC. The S1500 has built-in antennas for communication with the Tags and various serial interfaces for communication with a host computer. -
Page 12: Environmental Considerations
This guarantees trouble-free operation in demanding electromagnetic environments. Electromagnetic interference on the microwave link Industrial noise is typically present in the KHz and low MHz frequency band. The TagMaster system is only receptive for frequencies closed to 2.45 GHz so typical industrial noise will not affect the microwave communication. -
Page 13: Electrical Requirements
In most applications, normal convection cooling is enough. In applications where heat is generated close to the Reader, forced cooling or heat shields may be necessary. The S1566 has the following characteristics: Environmental temperature: -25 to +60° C. 8.1.2 Tags TagMaster Tags are available for operation in various ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C... - Page 14 TagMaster AB HW Installation Guide ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Manual issue 01 Notes: The frequency range is divided into 99 channels, 300 kHz apart. The channels are selectable by software. Frequency deviation from the chosen channel. The output signal is right hand circular polarized.
-
Page 15: Mechanical Installation
Microwaves penetrate wood, dirt, paint, plastic, and most other non metallic materials. The TagMaster system employs circular polarisation and can therefore also often be used when metal surfaces are in the vicinity of the antenna and Tag, especially if the Tag is moving. In such cases however, adjustment of the Tag/Reader position and distance may be necessary to find the best position. -

Page 20: Start-Up
Connect a PC to the prepared host connection and verify that the PC can communicate with the Reader. If the actual Reader is a standard S1566 equipped with Solid software this can be made by using the TagMaster test software ConfiTalk Commander which can be used for any Reader where the resident software was developed using ConfiLib and where ConfiTalk is enabled, for example the S1501 with Solid software. -

If the Reader is installed with a low grazing angle to a reflecting surface such as a road or floor, the multipath effect can increase the reading distance. -
Page 22: Trouble Shooting
If the reader stops to communicate with the Host or indicates malfunction in any way, the reader shall be replaced with a new reader. The non functional reader is to be sent back to TagMaster. WARNING The TagMaster reader must NOT, under any circumstances, be opened to be checked for errors. -
Page 23: Using An Unsuitable Power Supply
If an unsuitable power supply is used for powering the Readers, its functions may be unreliable. In worst case the Reader does not work at all. The power supply used for a TagMaster Reader must deliver a DC power according to following specifications:...
