The EX3100 Exciter extends the AeroScout suite to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system. The EX3100 Exciter triggers AeroScout’s T2 tags in range, and those transmit a message to AeroScout Location Receivers or compatible Access Points. This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset was present in a well- defined area. The detection and programming capabilities of the Exciter, combined with the location features of the AeroScout Visibility System, make the AeroScout suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution for a wide variety of industries. The EX3100 Exciter can be utilized in one of the following ways: 1. Standalone: The EX3100 Exciter can trigger Tags located within a spherical area around it. 2. Chained: Several EX3100 Exciters can be used to cover a larger area and to operate as a single entity. 6 | Application and Industry Examples Application and Industry Examples High value asset tracking Health care facilities and general enterprises can tag valuable assets that are intended to stay within a certain area. The AeroScout system can track the location of those assets, and if they leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, the Exciter EX3100 triggers a tag message. Process control Manufacturing and supply chain facilities can track the location and presence of equipment and in-process inventory as it moves through the production process. This gives an enterprise a real-time view of which (and how many) assets have passed each step in the process, enabling better supply chain management. Inventory management Logistics and manufacturing enterprises can automatically update inventory records as inventory enters and leaves the warehouse, ensuring real-time knowledge of levels without manual checks or physical scanning. Reduced searching time Exciters can identify an individual asset among many similar assets, such as WIP items on a shelf in manufacturing, or multiple beds in a hospital room. The person initiating the search will not only know the location of the asset, but can also make the Tag physically identify itself through a blinking light. Security applications Government agencies and enterprises can tag secure assets and people that are restricted to certain areas or require historical location tracking. If those assets leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, EX3100 Exciter triggers a tag message. Features RFID detection of AeroScout T2 Tags Triggering the tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, EX3100 Exciters reach up to a 3m (10 ft) range. Exciters can also be chained one to another, thus increasing the RFID detection range for accommodating even very large areas. Configurability The EX3100 Exciter Manager is a Windows application designed to configure the …

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation." Due to this reason we used the provisions of FCC Part 15 Sub-part A Section 15.19 (a)(5) and we placed this statement in a prominent location in the users manual.

The Exciter is a 125kHz transmitter which is powered from either 5VDC or 12 VDC source. The Exciter can be connected to another Exciter for chaining or programming or can act as standalone Exciter with no connection to the server. The Exciter is a 125kHz ASK modulated beacon which transmits the same message in a preprogrammed transmission interval. The messages transmitted by Exciter cause the AeroScout Tag to wakeup and transmit a reply message to the AeroScout location receivers. In order to cover large gates or chokepoints several Exciters may be chained one to the other.
