Introduction 1.1 Purpose RT03 Active Tag provides excellent reading range and reliability for industrial applications in extreme or harsh environments like construction sites and tunnels. With its robust design, it is durable and reliable even in environments with metal and other non-
RF-friendly items. This ensures an accurate readability. It is also suitable for working under heavy duty environment. RT03 enables the most cost effective operation in the long term. Unlike other active RFID tags, RT03s battery is replaceable while the tag is still waterproof and dust-proof. Operators can replace a new battery when it runs out. RT03s mounting design allows users to apply it on various items easily. It is user-friendly and convenient to install. 1.2 Features Waterproof, Dust proof, Shock proof, IP65 Replaceable Battery Convenient Mounting Design Stable Performance Durable with special plastic 1.3 Definitions, Acronyms and Abbreviations RF FCC Radio frequency Federal Communications Commission CE Conformit Europenne Copyright Hong Kong RFID Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved. Reproduction of any part is strictly prohibited. 6 | P a g e 1.4 Applications The active RT03 provides excellent RF performance, compact in size and convenient to be used together with keychain. With its relatively low cost, RT03 also has excellent reading range and reliability for industrial applications such as vehicle management, warehouse management and so on. 1.4.1 Vehicle Management With RT03s mounting design, RT03 can be attached on vehicles easily. When vehicles go in or out a zone, the reader will read the tag and the vehicle information will be shown in the system simultaneously. It can make the vehicle management more convenient. 1.4.2 Warehouse Management With RT03s excellent anti-collision function, the reader can read more than 100 tags simultaneously. When a load of goods go in or out a warehouse, the reader will read the tags at once and the goods information will be recorded immediately. This enhances the efficiency in warehouse management. 1.4.3 Heavy dusty, Harsh Environment Applications RT03 is waterproof, dust proof and shock proof. Hence, RT03 can work in a heavy dusty and harsh environment such as construction sites. Application cases are endless. Please e-mail to sales@HKRFID.com for more examples.
