CAUTION - S TATIC P RECAUTIONS Some devices used in the ParSec reader are static sensitive. Anti-static precautions must be taken when handling the printed circuit boards. Static discharge will permanently damage the boards. 2.G ENERAL I NSTALLATION N OTES 2.1.Reader Design The reader is mounted in a 2-part enclosure for surface mounting. The rear casing has 2 keyholes and 1 slotted hole for the 3 fixing screws and a variety of knock-out positions for ease of cable entry. The reader contains two PCB’s for ease of installation and maintenance. The rear B ACKPLANE P CB comprises two cable termination blocks, the power supply regulator and alarm relay, and two connectors to the front L OGIC P CB . The Backplane PCB will normally remain permanently mounted after the reader case has been sited and the cables installed. The L OGIC P CB contains the radio receiver, the microprocessor and communications circuitry, and the K EY PIC personality module. All reader adjustment and configuration is performed via the logic PCB, which is mounted onto the Backplane PCB via two push-fit connectors. This method of construction enables replacement of the logic PCB for maintenance purposes and also makes it possible for the physical mounting and cabling of the reader enclosure and Backplane to be carried out prior to system configuration and commissioning. The reader front cover is protected from unauthorised entry by a recessed security screw. For this to be removed for installation, you will need a Newmark security driver (Part no SS0001 or RS part 541-983). Any attempt to remove the front cover will operate an anti- tamper switch which may be set to trigger a local or remote alarm (e.g. sounder/lamp) and, if the reader is connected to a computer-based system, to raise an alarm at the system control console. There are 2 types of reader. The model PSR-232-1 has an RS232 port and is normally used with TransAsset or other third party asset management software. The model PSR-W26-1 has a 26-bit industry standard wiegand card type data output and is normally used with access control systems. It is possible to convert from 1 model to another by simply changing the socketed KeyPIC. All the tags transmit at 418 MHz using a power level which in the UK is MPT 1340 licence exempt by the DTI. For those countries where 418 MHz is not acceptable, tags and readers operating at 433 MHz will become available in mid 1998. All units are CE marked and comply with European EMC directives. However, to maintain this compliance, it is essential that you follow the installation procedures in this manual and in particular use grounded screened cables where specified. ParSec Reader Installation Manual - Issue:2 - January 1998 - Page 4 2.2.Siting the reader The physical location chosen to site each reader will depend principally upon (1)The area of coverage required for Static Asset Tags (PS-SAT1-1’s). (2)The exit/entry points to be protected or monitored with Portable Asset Tags (PS-PAT1-1’s) and Personnel Tags (PS-PET1-1’s). For 'portal monitoring' with PS-PAT1-1’s and PS-PET1-1’s, the reader should be sited in line with the centre of the doorway and midway between the top of the door and the ceiling. (This is not critical and, in some cases, it may be appropriate to site the reader in a higher position to deter vandalism.) Where the system is used solely for monitoring unauthorised movement of items protected by PS-SAT1-1’s, the reader should be mounted 0.5m below the ceiling and in the centre of a convenient wall in the location, to optimise the polar pattern of the receiving antenna. Up to nine of the RS232 type readers can be chained to provide extended coverage of a wide or irregularly shaped area. (For details of reader addressing, see section 4.3.) Notes "DIFFICULT" LOCATIONS (1)The reader enclosure is partially screened to reduce the sensitivity to tags from the rear. Where REAR DETECTION is a problem, a new type of uni-directional antenna is being developed. Contact your supplier or Newmark for more information. (2)The reader is supplied with aluminium shield which can be fitted to the reader after installation to reduce its sensitivity to tags being read through the ceiling from the floor above. If this is required, peel off the self-adhesive backing strip and place it inside the top of the reader enclosure. Note that it covers the 2 upper fixing screw holes, so you will need to use countersunk head fixing screws. (2)The pres…

The system operates at a nominal frequency of 418MHz as a Low-Power, Non-Licensed Transmitter in accordance with FCC Part 15 Subpart C for intentional Radiators (TAGs) and Subpart B for unintentional radiators (Reader). The system is also type approved to MPT- 1340 licence exempt frequency band by the UK Radiocommunications Agency. Approval number 13422 refers. The basic system comprises a range of tags - compact radio frequency transmitters which communicate with a universal reader . The reader interprets the data packet received from a tag transmitting within its field of reception and, in turn, passes this data on to a controller or computer. Using a combination of two power levels and differing data patterns, the universal reader is able to distinguish between ‘long range’ and ‘short range’ Intelitags. Long range tags a…

As you have noticed the labels on these devices do not match the requirements of the FCC. The reason for this is because we have not yet produced tags for sale in the US and hence labels. Therefore, inserted into this document are the electronic versions of the labels for the FCC variants of our TAG transmitters. Please note that the images appended are black and white when in fact the colours will be identical to those shown on the actual tags. All extra text though will be in black.

COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE Intelitag Technical Product Description (FCC) - Issue 1, 25 June 1998 Page 1 of 3 Basys Technology Ltd. Mumby Road Gosport Hampshire England PO12 1AF Intelitag Technical Product Description (FCC) 1 - General The Intelitag ™ electronic tagging system, also distributed under the ParSec trade name, is a radio based short to long range tagging system for the protection and monitoring of assets and the management of personnel movement. The system operates at a nominal frequency of 418MHz as a Low-Power, Non-Licensed Transmitter in accordance with FCC Part 15 Subpart C for intentional Radiators (TAGs) and Subpart B for unintentional radiators (Reader). The system is also type approved to MPT-1340 licence exempt frequency band by the UK Radiocommunications Agency. Approval number 13422 refers. The basic system comprises a range of tags - compact radio frequency transmitters that communicates with a universal reader . The reader interprets the data received from a tag transmitting within its field of reception and, in turn, passes this data on to a controller or computer. Using a combination of two power levels and differing data patterns, the universal reader is able to distinguish between ‘long range’ and ‘short range’ Intelitags. Long range tags are read at a nominal distance of up to 75m in free space, depending on the characteristics of the ambient RF environment, regardless of their proximity to the reader. The reader only detects short-range tags when they enter its short-range zone, which is adjustable from a few cm to 25m in free space. It is the combination of short and long-range detection within a single reader, which, in conjunction with the properties of the different tag types described below, which gives the Intelitag system its unique performance characteristics. Every tag has a unique identity, which it transmits in conjunction with additional data relating to its operational status. Thus an asset or individual equipped with a tag can be uniquely identified by the system. The Intelitag system has been designed primarily for security applications although its use can also be extended to a wide range of asset tracking and management tasks. A regular ‘reporting’ transmission from asset Intelitags provides both a security confidence check and an additional asset management (inventory) facility. Asset Intelitags incorporate anti-tamper switches, which are detected at long range. COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE Intelitag Technical Product Description (FCC) - Issue 1, 25 June 1998 Page 2 of 3 Basys Technology Ltd. Mumby Road Gosport Hampshire England PO12 1AF 2 - Tag Types The Static Intelitag (SAT) has been designed primarily to protect equipment such as computers and their internal components, an all other types of static office equipment. However, the SAT is highly versatile and can be used to protect any static article including hospital and laboratory equipment, works of art and any item of significant value. The SAT incorporates a movement sensor and can be detected at a range of up to 75m in clear space. The Portable Intelitag (PAT) has been designed to allow the movement of mobile assets within a controlled area or building, whilst denying or monitoring the removal from, and re- entry of the assets into the area. The PAT is normally detected when it enters the short range zone of a universal reader; however its other transmissions, including tamper, will be detected by a reader at long range. 3 - Tag Operating Modes Intelitags operate in several predetermined transmission modes of high and low power. High power transmission is approximately -28 dBm and low power is -33 dBm. The transmitted data packet duration is constant for all tags at 22.75 milliseconds (all packets are identical in length). The power of the transmission and transmission repetition rates are determined by the tag type and its operating mode. The various operating modes for each tag are described below. Static Intelitag (SAT) 1. Tamper mode 2. Wake mode 3. Routine report mode 4. Low battery mode Portable Intelitag (PAT) 1. Tamper mode 2. Wake mode 3. Routine reporting mode 4.

Mumby Road Gosport Hampshire England PO12 1AF 4 - Operating Mode Descriptions T AMPER M ODE (manually triggered transmission) Tamper mode is triggered by the forcible removal of a SAT or PAT tag from the item to which it is attached. A micro switch is open circuited by the removal of the tag. The tag software continuously monitors the condition of the switch; when it changes to the ON state, the tag transmits continuously in high power every 0.6 seconds. The transmission is turned off by returning the switch to its OFF state. W AKE M ODE (manually triggered transmission) When a PAT tag is disturbed, the change of state of its shock sensor causes the software to transmit packets every 0.6 seconds in low power. The duration of the transmission is 3.2 seconds. If, during the 3.2 second period, the shock sensor is disturbed again the transmission restarts. When a SAT tag is disturbed, the change of state of its shock sensor causes the software to transmit packets every 1.2 seconds in high power. The duration of the transmission is 3.6 seconds (3 cycles). If, during the 3.6 second period, the shock sensor is disturbed again the timed transmission restarts. R OUTINE R EPORTING (automatic transmission) The PAT routine report comprises 5 packet transmissions at 0.6 second intervals in high power, repeated hourly.
