IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview 1. sirit IDentity Flex System Overview System Description SUMMARY SIRIT’s IDentity Flex Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) system is a standalone Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system which communicates with SIRIT’s IDentity Flex family of transponders and California Transportation System Title 21 compliant transponders.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview sirit The IDentity Flex system is capable of communicating transponder transaction activity to variety of established back-end host systems including ASCOM, WPS and Safehouse via. RS 232, RS 485 and Wiegand interfaces, as well as simply reporting transponder identification information.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview sirit detector loop at an entrance or exit, the IDentity Flex reader is armed and begins to transmit a signal from the antenna in that lane. The vehicle is also now positioned within the radio beam radiating from an overhead or side-mounted antenna and the tag receives the wake-up signal. The tag then reflects back a signal containing its identification number.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview sirit IDentity Flex transponders mounted in vehicles are placed at the top of the front windshield, behind the rear view mirror. The external mount transponder is attached to the front license plate of the vehicle. See the section starting on page 52 for mounting instructions. IDentity Flex Transponder The IDentity Flex transponder is equipped with a replaceable 4-year coin cell battery and a second battery can be added for longer life.

IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview sirit IDENTITY FLEX REMOTE ANTENNA The IDentity Flex remote antenna is an all-weather dual-aperture (transmit and receive) antenna with an LED feature that permits quick lane configuration. The LED feature is described below. The antenna measures 30” x 12” x 2” and comes in a flat gray finish, and can be repainted with non-metallic paint.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview sirit the Pre-Installation Questionnaire and determining which installation method will be used for each lane.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual - System Overview sirit Coaxial Cables and Conduit Communication between the IDentity Flex reader and the remote antennas is by means of coaxial cable. There are two cables from each antenna to the reader – one for the transmit signal, one for the receive signal. Conduit diameter must be sufficient to house both cables and any other communication cabling required at the read location. Power cables should not be housed in the same conduit as these cables.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning 2. sirit Site Planning Pre-Installation Questionnaire The Pre-Installation Questionnaire provided by SIRIT is an essential tool in determining the site layout and equipment needs. This guide has been designed to assist the planner make decisions about lane configurations. If any questions arise regarding the location of vehicle presence loops, gates and remote antennas, the answers should be in the following section.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit Lane Logic Considerations The following sections contain guidelines for establishing lane configurations, first for Parking Access, then additional considerations for Gated Access starting on page 12. PARKING ACCESS SYSTEMS Antenna Mounting – Read Zone The Read Zone is a roughly conical space between the antenna and the elliptical area on the ground that the signal illuminates.

IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit Arming the SIRIT IDentity Flex Antenna Under certain conditions it is desirable to arm the SIRIT IDentity Flex antenna on demand. This can be accomplished by using the dry contact output from the Gate Down position switch, presence loop dry contact output or both. For example the location may have a situation where users remove the IDentity Flex transponder from the vehicle and walk past the antenna.

IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit Use of S-Flex Transponder Gated Access systems may have a requirement for SIRIT’s Break on Removal (BOR) S-Flex transponder. The main difference between the S-Flex transponder and the standard IDentity Flex transponder is that the S-Flex transponder will deactivate once it is removed from the windshield.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit makes available an optional desktop reader which allows each tag to be scanned into the database. Users can scan in the source tag Identification number and then assign a destination or output identification number containing a facility code and ID. Each IDentity Flex reader is capable of storing up to 10,000 translated T21 transponders in its database.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit produce an antenna angle of between 5 to 45 degrees from horizontal, tilted towards oncoming traffic. Should there be an obstruction in the lane center such as a lamp or conduits, adjustment of the UMB will allow an additional sideways tilt of up to 45 degrees to compensate for the offset from lane center. Consider adding vehicle clearance signs to prevent damage to the antennas from oversize vehicles.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit REMOTE ANTENNA CABLE AND CONDUIT SELECTION Antenna Cable Selection If the cable run between the reader and the remote antenna is less than 50 feet use Belden 8240, RG-58/U cable. If the cable run between the reader and the remote antenna is more than 50 feet, to a maximum of 200 feet, use Belden 9913 cable. Remote antenna coaxial leads require cable connectors at each end and each is different. Refer to Table 2.1 and Table 2.

IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Installation sirit IDENTITY FLEX READER - SYNC PULSE CHARACTERISTICS In multi-reader installations, where readers must be synchronized but fail to synchronize, connections can be verified using an oscilloscope. The following sync pulse train characteristics are observed on a functional reader, where it leaves a Master reader or arrives at a Slave.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Installation sirit MULTIPLE READER INSTALLATIONS Installations that utilize more than one reader with adjacent lanes close to other readers require synchronization. Synchronization allows all separate readers to transmit simultaneously so that they do not interfere with each other. Synchronization is accomplished by connecting the reader systems in a daisy chain fashion where a Previous-to-Next convention is established.

The Pulse Width and mandatory time delay between successive output pulses are also configurable via the configuration menus.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Installation sirit Gate Output or Lamp Output Relays Under certain conditions users may elect to have the IDentity Flex reader system vend a gate or lamp output directly. Under these conditions SIRIT makes available an opto-isolated output relay module that can handle either AC or DC. The relay module typically drives the gate or lamp’s control relay input. Connection in this fashion provides an optical barrier between the output circuit and the SIRIT reader.
IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Installation sirit IDentity Flex reader operations with non-memory lift gates require that a gate position feedback mechanism be employed from the lift gate to the reader and that the reader be configured to operate with non-memory lift gates. Based upon the specific gate, the feedback signal may be an opening or closing contact when the gate is in the “UP” position. The feedback signal is connected to the Gate Position Discrete Input for the lane in use.
