1. Preface This installation manual must be read carefully prior to starting the installation. The described installation works assuming that installation materials like cables, antennas and any mechanical parts are available. This document is the hardware description of the iQ355 XP. This document is intended only for mechanical and electrical installation of these units. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS reserves the right to make changes and updates to the content contained herein.
2. Introduction 2.1 iQ355 XP Tag and System Description The iQ355 XP tag is an ATEX-Certified Personnel tag, designed for use with all personnel safety, real-time location and access control applications. The robust tag is especially suited to harsh environments, in industries such as Oil & Gas or mining.
2.1.1 UHF Interface The UHF interface is a wireless communication interface using the UHF ISM frequency band and IDENTEC’s protocols. The iQ355 XP has an internal UHF antenna and can communicate up to a range of 500 meters with a reader or iPOINT device. 2.1.2 LF Interface The LF Interface uses IDENTEC’s LFBOOST Marker technology. Zone location at Low Frequency can be achieved with a configurable field range up to 5 Meters. This allows Tag detection in a specific area.
2.1.3 NFC Interface (optional) The NFC Interface is a Near Field Communication interface. The iPOINT can be used as an entry terminal. Alternatively the tag can communicate with access control system over standard NFC interfaces. The range from the iPOINT to the Tag is up to 10cm.
2.2 System Components – Readers and Markers Identec offers a range of readers and markers that can be used together with the iQ355 XP 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 iQ355 XP tags in bidirectional mode at distances of up to 250 m (820 feet).
2.3 Tag Functions The iQ355 XP tag can be configured in the host software provided by Identec Solutions. Additionally, the tag has a user pushbutton and a dual color LED indicator. 2.3.1 Pushbutton Button Push action Tag response Short push Sign of life / Battery status Double short push t.b.d Long hold (5 seconds) t.b.d 2.3.2 LED Indicators LED Indication Information Green - Blinking t.b.d Green - Solid t.b.d Red - Blinking t.b.d Red - Solid t.b.d Orange - Blinking t.b.

4. Troubleshooting This chapter covers how faults can be recognized and rectified. There are some common problem sources: The environment including large objects between antenna and ILR® 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.
In order to minimize the downtime in the event of a malfunction, it is recommended to have certain spare parts on stock. For larger systems, doubling of the recommended stock quantity is recommended. It is advised to have several spare ILR® Tags in stock, corresponding to approx. 0.5 – 1 % of the total number of ILR® Tags. Examination and repair of exchanged parts The data ILR® Tags and other devices are complex electronic power units on which the customer can carry out only very limited repairs.
