THE FIXTURE TRANSMITTER UNIT (FTU)
The new and improved Guardian 2.0 Fixture Transmitter
Unit wirelessly communicates with the Master Control Unit using
900mhz frequency band powered by long life, easily replaceable
batteries with low battery indication at Master Control Unit screen.
THE PALLET ID READER
The Pallet ID Reader is optional with the Guardian
2.0 System. When used it reads the Pallet ID Tag to confirm
fixture identification prior to machining process. It then
sends this information to the Master Control Unit to tell it
what pallet is in the work area. Using the Pallet ID Reader
and corresponding Pallet ID tags allows for a simpler install
than the other pallet ID method which is described below in
the "QUICK START GUIDE" section.
PALLET ID TAGS
identifier for the pallet in the work area being monitored. These tags should be installed on the pallet or
fixture within 6 feet of the Pallet ID Reader. It is important to note that they should be within an
unobstructed view of the Pallet ID Reader and that they can be mounted directly to metal surfaces
without any signal interference. When being used the Pallet ID Reader will read the Pallet ID Tag and tell
the MCU using RF technology which pallet is in the work area.
Below are the two types of Pallet ID Tag. Figure 12 shows the "Standard" Pallet ID Tag used in
conjunction with an FTU on pallets with pressure monitored circuits. Figure 13 shows the Manual Pallet
ID Tag, which is used on pallets that do not have or need pressure monitoring. This manual tag allows
the MCU to still recognize these fixtures and reports back a false "Pressure Good" signal in lieu of an
FTU.
