The i-PORT M350 is a reader for the i-Q350 series of ILR Response Tags. Built into a compact metal housing, the i-PORT M350 reads data from and writes data to the i-Q350 tags at distances of up to 500 meters (1500 feet). -
Page 17: System Components-Antennas
M350 System Components—Antennas IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ antennas are distinguished by their compact design. A variety of antennas can be used, depending on application. The antennas are differentiated by characteristics such as polarization, apex angle, and gain. Optimal fit to the read zone is achieved by the right choice of antenna (characteristics) and receive sensitivity. -
Page 18: Linear Polarized Antennas
Installation and Hardware Manual 3.5.2 Linear Polarized Antennas Because of the smaller apex angle (60º), this antenna is more suited to selective data collection and restriction of read zones. Depending on the direction of mounting, the antenna’s field is either vertically or horizontally polarized, requiring the tag to have the same orientation. -

Page 27: Troubleshooting
M350 Troubleshooting General This chapter covers how faults can be recognized and rectified. There are potentially four main problem sources: • The user control system, including task requirements, communication cables, peripheral units with possible object recognition switches. • The ILR system including peripheral units and their cables, also potential object recognition switches. -
Page 28: Precautionary Maintenance
Installation and Hardware Manual Maintenance General In principle, the ILR system is maintenance-free. When correctly installed it operates for many years without any problems. Precautionary Maintenance Regular checking of all ports and cables belonging to the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and therefore should be repaired as soon as possible. - Page 29 The data tags and compact communicators are complex electronic power units on which the customer can carry out only very limited repairs. Normally the repairs are carried out at IDENTEC SOLUTIONS or possibly at a distributor. Before a part is sent in for repair a short examination should be carried out.
