Chapter 1 Introduction
1 Introduction 1.1. About the Product Thank you for choosing Hi-G-Tek quality products. The Hi-G-Tek range of products provides a highly reliable and secure cargo and asset monitoring system utilising state-of-the-art RFID technologies. Cost-effective, more reliable and more secure than their mechanical counterparts, the Hi-G-Tek product range will constantly monitor your assets and alert you to any potential problems at all times.
1 Introduction When used in high frequency/long range applications, the DataSeal is capable of communicating its ID and status to a distance of up to 30 meters. The DataSeal transmits the information in reply to an interrogation by the DataReader.
Introduction 1 Software License Agreement Information in this document is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of the manufacturer. The software described in this document is furnished under license agreement or nondisclosure agreement. It is against the law to copy the software on any medium except as specifically allowed in the license or nondisclosure agreement. The purchaser may make one copy of the software for backup purposes.
Introduction 1 1.2. System Components 1.2.1. The Mounting Fixture The DataSeal Mounting Fixture is used to mount the DataSeal on the container's keeper bar or other surface. 1.2.2. The Seal The DataSeal unit contains the DataSeal electronics, a battery, a transceiver, a processor and memory to record and store the events and the relevant information about the cargo. Hi-G-Tek Ltd.
Introduction 1 1.2.3. Seal Wire The DataSeal Wire serves to seal the cargo. Any tampering with the DataSeal Wire at any point during transport is recorded and reported at once. 1.2.4. Outdoor DataReader The Hi-G-Tek DataSeal System uses state-of-the -art technology to secure and monitor secured cargoes in storage and during transport. The DataReader is comprised of two compartments. The upper compartment is the heart of the unit and contains the DataReader's electronics section.
Introduction 1 The DataReader may be used in both stationary and mobile configurations. In the stationary configuration, the unit is mounted on a flat stationary surface such as a wall or pole. A typical installation of this configuration is at the point of exit from ports, customs terminals, warehouses, etc. This operation mode allows monitoring of the seal at predetermined sites and checkpoints. In the mobile configuration, the unit is mounted in the truck cabin.
Introduction 1 1.2.5. Indoor DataReader Similar to the outdoor version, the indoor DataReader uses state-of -the-art technology to secure and monitor secured cargoes in an indoor environment. The Indoor DataReader may be used in stationary configuration only. In the stationary configuration, the unit is mounted on a flat surface such as a wall or pole. A typical installation of this configuration is at the point of exit from ports, customs terminals, warehouses, etc.

Chapter 2 DataSeal Installation
2 DataSeal Installation 2.1 DataSeal Installation step 1. To install the DataSeal Mounting Fixture, attach the fixture to the keeper bar at the back of the container (fig.1). A click indicates that the fixture is in place. Fig. 1 The two side slots may be used to secure the mounting fixture to the container, using a 3-5mm width by 180-250 mm length plastic strap (fig 2). Fig. 2 step 2.
2 DataSeal Installation step 3. To connect the DataSeal Wire, simply attach one end of the seal wire conectors to either of the sockets at the base of the DataSeal (fig 4). Fig. 4 Loop the wire through the container locking ring and the keeper bar, then insert the end into the other socket (fig. 5). Fig. 5 Alternatively, you may loop the wire through both keeper bars then insert the end into the other socket (fig. 6). Fig. 6 FCC ID: OB6-IGRS40916 This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules.

DataReader Installation 3 3.1.3 Wiring the Outdoor DataReader The DataReader may be connected to the network via three types of serial communication: RS485 Full Duplex1. RS485 Half duplex.2. RS232 (different model number)3. According to the DataReader model in use, the serial connection can be either RS232 or RS485 (see Technical Specifications). When the reader is connected using RS485, it can be set by the user to full duplex mode or half duplex mode by altering the switch configuration.
DataReader Installation 3 3.1.4 DataReader Configuration Switches S1: Reader configuration setup switch; Future use. Default position: OFF. S2: Termination ON/OFF switch. While ON, connects an internal 120 Ohm termination resistor to the RS485 chain. Default position: OFF S3, S6: Full/Half duplex switches. While OFF: Full duplex mode is set While ON: Half duplex mode is set Default position: OFF S4: Reader shut-down switch.

Connecting the RS-232/RS-485 Adapter to the Host RS-323 3-wire connection should be performed between the adapter and the host. (Other control signals beside the Rx, Tx and GND are not required).
DataReader Installation 3 3.5. Power Supply Requirements The DataReader supply voltage is chosen according to the model, either 12V, 24V or 48V. Power supply wattage: each Reader consumes maximum 1.7W, so the power should tolerate the number of Readers in the chain multiplied by each Reader's power consumption. EXAMPLE: 10 Readers connected in a daisy chain require 10X1.7=17W power supply.
3 DataReader Installation Cable connection: 1 pair for RXA and RXB signals. 1 pair for TXA and TXB signals SIGNAL GND may be connected to shield or to a pair of wires (shield connection is recommended, though it depends on the noise level of the specific environment). Supply: Two main issues should be considered, max current carrying capacity and wire resistance. Max current capacity: For 24AWG cable , the jacket is heated at 1 C at 0.1A current, max temperature is 80 C.
3 DataReader Installation 3.7. Installation notes 3.7.1 The DataReader is distributed to a commercial/industrial use only, and cannot be sold to the general public. 3.7.2 Installation must be performed according to this user manual, and by an authorized personnel only. 3.7.3 It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used.
Chapter 4 DataReader Operating Instructions
4 DataReader Operation Instructions Hi-G-DataReader Operation Three LED light indicators are located on the left-hand side of the electronics compartment. Power: The DataReader is activated by connecting it to a power supply. At power ON and self-test the power indicator alternates between the GREEN and RED indicators for several seconds. If the check result is OK, the indicator remains GREEN. If a problem was detected, the indicator remains RED.
