Proprietary Notice This document contains confidential information proprietary to IDENTEC SOLUTIONS and may not be used or disclosed to other parties in whole or in part without the prior written authorization from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS.
Radio Frequency Compliance Statement IDENTEC SOLUTIONS is the responsible party for the compliance of the following devices: MODEL: Region/Country EUROPE: USA: Canada: i-MARK Organization EC FCC Industry Canada Marking CE FCC ID: OO4-ILR-IMS350 IC: 3538A-IMS350 The user(s) of these products are cautioned to only use accessories and peripherals approved, in advance, by IDENTEC SOLUTIONS.
WARNING – Do not open housing while device is connected to power. The device internally generates high voltage. WARNING - This product should be installed by personnel trained in installation of equipment in industrial environments and meet the representative country’s National Electrical Code.
This product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Please observe the special instructions for their protection. Incorrect handling can damage the unit and cause the invalidation of the warranty. 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.

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.
Electrostatic Discharge Semi-conductors of the type MOS or CMOS as well as two-pin types and precision resistance are sensitive to ESD. All components, printed circuit boards and auxiliary systems should therefore always be classed as sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Before opening the cover the unit should be placed onto an ESD-protected surface. As with all work on modern electronic modules, the use of ESD clamps and ESD mats during work on the unit is recommended.
This installation manual must be read carefully prior to starting the installation. The described installation works assume that installation materials like cable, antenna and data sensor holder, etc. are available. This document is the hardware description of the i-MARK. This document is intended only for mechanical and electrical installation of these central units. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS reserves the right to make changes and updates to the content contained herein.
The IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ SensorSMART Platform is the latest development in asset management, localization and process optimization. Developed to deliver the last mile in industrial communication, the SensorSMART Platform fulfills a niche not previously addressed by available networks. The SensorSMART Platform takes the complexity out of managing assets, personnel safety monitoring and/or the tracking of valuable cargo and the need for multiple technologies.
Fixed Reader The i-PORT M350-2 is a reader for the i-Q350 and i-B350 series of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’s Response and Broadcast Sensors. Built into a compact housing, the i-PORT reads and writes data to the sensors at distances of up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on two antennas. Connection to the host system is established via a RS422 interface, resulting in the capability to connect up to 8 readers in a Daisy Chain using commercially available CAT 5 cables and connectors.
Mounting hole distance: 81mm Mounting hole diameter: 4mm
Connectivity: Pin 1 2 3 4 Name +VDC NC NC GND Description +24 VDC, 250mA with an inrush current of 500mA.
WARNING – Do not open housing while device is connected to power. The device internally generates high voltage. Opening the housing is not necessary in order to set the i-MARK. The unit has no internal setting elements or displays. All settings are performed using software via the ILR350 service interface.
<= Set Master Mode only for the first device on the i-BUS. Devices found on the i-BUS are listed here. <= Version Information on the currently selected device. <= Use “Select/deselect all slots” to quickly come close to your desired setting. <= Diagnostic Information on the currently selected device.
The range setup of the devices defers depending on the Variant: Range is up to 1.0m Range is up to 3m Depending on the range setup, the number of slots may be limited. Active loop 1 Cycle Delay Slot # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 … The absolute range strongly depends on the on the environmental conditions. After completing the installation, the operation must be systematically checked.
This chapter covers how faults can be recognized and rectified. There are potentially four main problem sources: The user control system, including task requirements, communication cables, peripheral units with possible object recognition switches. The SensorSMART platform including peripheral units and their cables, also potential object recognition switches. The environment including large objects between antenna and sensor, electrical disturbance sources, intervention by persons, etc.
When installed correctly the SensorSMART system 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. Remove dust with a brush or compressed air. If the device has come in contact with greasy or oily substances use a soft cloth moistened with a mild rinsing agent. Do not use cleaning products containing chemical additives.
Parts or main components returned for repair or exchange must be handled with great care. PC cards must be returned in the appropriate ESD-protecting packaging material.
