Minimum safety precautions against electrostatic discharge:

• Establish earth contact before you touch the unit. (For example, touch the earthing screw on the unit.) Best practice is to use an antistatic ribbon and earth yourself permanently for the time you handle the unit.
• Never open the unit – nothing inside for user interaction or maintenance.
• Use antistatic tools for the setting of the unit. (Warning: Do not touch life-threatening voltages with these tools).
• Do not store unit and components without protective packaging.
• Remove unit and components from the packaging only prior to installation.
• These notes are not sufficient to guarantee complete protection from electrostatic discharges! We recommend the use of suitable protective equipment.
  IDENTEC SOLUTIONS does not accept the return of products where the regulations concerning the ESD precautions and protective packaging materials were not followed.

Safety Instructions
The system described in this manual is for exclusive operation of trained employees. Only qualified personnel that have knowledge of the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance, and repair of the units used.

Operational Safety

• The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the safety measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
• If there is a possibility that safe operations cannot be guaranteed, the system must be switched off, secured against accidental use and the service unit responsible immediately informed.

Safety Documents
The i-Q350-RNB was designed, tested, and supplied in perfect condition, according to document IEC/EN 60950-1 Safety Requirements.

Condensate / Change of Temperature
To avoid condensation in the system, the unit must be allowed to slowly adjust itself to warmer temperatures after removal from cold and cool environments.

Connections / Power Supply

• The supply circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the SELV circuits (see EN 62368-1).
• The signal circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the SELV circuits (see EN 62368-1).
• During maintenance damage could occur if printed circuit boards or cables are connected or disconnected whilst the power supply is still on. Therefore, only work on the connection and the components when they are not live.

Battery Inside
All system tags contain a battery; therefore, the following warning should be heeded:
WARNING – Fire, explosion and burn hazard risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F). Do not incinerate, or expose contents to water

System Components

Readers
Identec offers a range of readers and markers that can be used together with the i-Q350-RNB tag in the system. The tags provide long range communication with the readers/Markers of up to 500 m (1640 ft), using advanced UHF radio frequency technology.

i-PORT M352 Readers

• Using advanced UHF radio frequency technology, i-PORT-M352 Reader series can communicate with tags in bidirectional mode at distances of up to 250 m (820 feet). In addition, the tags can be configured to beacon data at a configurable ping rate to a range of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
• Identec’s i-PORT M352 series of readers can be installed at fixed locations to provide seamless communication with the tags

i-PORT-BT-USB Mobile readers

• Using advanced UHF radio frequency technology, i-PORT-BT-USB Readers can communicate with tags in bidirectional mode at distances of up to 250 m (820 feet). In addition, the tags can be configured to beacon data at a configurable ping rate to a range of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
• Identec’s i-PORT BT USB readers can be installed at fixed locations or used as a mobile reader to provide seamless communication with the tags. The mobile reader can then communicate with the host device over Bluetooth or USB connection.

iPOINT

• Using advanced UHF radio frequency technology, iPOINT devices can communicate with tags in bidirectional mode at distances of up to 250 m (820 feet). In addition, the tags can be configured to beacon data at a configurable ping rate to a range of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
• Identec’s multi-purpose iPOINT device combines the functionality of a standard reader, an LF Marker (gate and Zone locationing system, configurable up to 5 m) and NFC (access control) functionality in a single rugged unit.

I-Q350-RNB Tag

• The i-Q350 series of tags are a state-of-the-art generation of active RFID tags.
• The tags provide highly accurate, real-time data collection without human intervention in wireless applications such as:
  • Identification
  • Asset tracking and tracing
  • Localization
  • Environmental Monitoring & Sensors.

UHF Interface

• Using advanced UHF radio frequency technology, i-Q350 RNB tags transmit and receive data at distances of up to 30 meters (100 feet) from a handheld device or up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) from a fixed reader.
• Also, LED supports visual signals during search, locate and alarms.
• The i-Q350-RNB tag operates in the 850 – 928 MHz UHF band.

5G/NB-IoT Interface

• 5G Ready, Secure Cloud LTE-M and NB-IoT for ultra-low power applications and multiregional use.
• The tag has an integrated antenna and options for a physical SIM card, or an eSIM.
• It offers IoT security from the device to the cloud
• LTE bands available: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 66, 71, 85 (23dBm Power Class)

Wired Interface
The i-Q350 RNB tag has the option of a serial interface which communicates to container refrigeration units. The tag auto detects the type of the controller and monitors the status and temperature information.

Tag Polarization

Polarization is dependent on orientation and is rotation symmetrical.

Mechanical Information and Installation

Dimensions

Tag Mounting

• The Tag can be mounted using the magnets available on the back side of the unit:

• The tag can be easily removed by grabbing it from the side and tilting to one side:
• Slightly pull it off the wall and the magnetic holding force is removed at once. DO NOT pull the cable.

Troubleshooting and Maintainance

This chapter covers how faults can be recognized and rectified. There are some common problem sources:

• The environment including large objects between antenna and Tags, electrical disturbance sources, intervention by persons, etc.
• The quality of the technical design, including alignment between antenna, data, ratio of task requirements/available communication time etc. The information about system performance is contained in the relevant datasheets.

When planning the total system, do not overlook the problem sources and “Fault finding procedures on system level” should be included in the host system. How this could look in detail depends on the relevant system concept and very likely varies from one system to another.
A Brief Checklist

• Are all housings intact?
• Are all screws still tight?
• Is there a sudden malfunction at a specific unit?

Maintenance

When installed correctly the tag will operate virtually maintenance free for many years. However, in the event maintenance is required, only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to perform the updates, changes and necessary maintenance.

Regular Cleaning of the Surface
If the device needs cleaning, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild rinsing agent. Do not use cleaning products containing chemical additives.

Precautionary Maintenance
A regular check of the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and should therefore be repaired as soon as possible.

Returns
Parts or main components returned for repair or exchange must be handled with great care. All returns should include an error description and a short application overview and be sent to the local distributor or to:
