Signpost – Installation Manual and User Guide Introduction Tag Reader is a device that is designed to operate in conjunction with a Tag and a Signpost. Basic Tag Reader functionality is shown in diagram below: 125 kHz Signpost 434 MHz Tag Tag Reader The Signpost generates modulated RF signal at 125 kHz frequency, which is detected by the Tag. Upon detection of Signpost signal, the Tag transmits its own signal on 434 MHz frequency to one or more Tag Readers.
Signpost – Installation Manual and User Guide Due to a nature of RF communication, it is hard to predict communication range between a Tag and a Tag Reader. This is heavily dependent on surrounding ambient, architecture, even people and equipment movement. However, in order to install the system, the assumption of certain communication range has to be made.
