The EX3200 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 EX3200 triggers AeroScout’s T2 tags as they pass through a choke point, and those transmit a message to AeroScout Location Receivers or compatible Access Points in range. This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset passed through a gate, doorway or some other well-defined area. The detection capabilities of the EX3200, 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. Figure 1: EX3200 positioned at choke point triggering a tag 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 EX3200 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) 6 | Features 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. 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, EX3200 triggers a tag message. Features RFID detection of AeroScout T2 Tags Triggering the tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, EX3200s reach up to a 3 meters (9.84 ft) range, enough to cover typical door or gate areas. EX3200s can also be chained one to another, thus increasing the RFID detection range for accommodating even very large areas. Tag behavior modification: • Wireless activation and deactivation of tags. Tag battery life can be extended further by switching the tags off when they leave a defined tracking area through a gate or doorway. • Change of tag transmission rate temporarily or indefinitely to accommodate different usage patterns…

Theory of Operation The Exciter is a 125 kHz transmitter, powered from 230VAC. 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 125 kHz 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.
