FP-100RA - ASTM V6 Reader Telematics wireless’ FP-100RA Reader is a modern, reliable unit that serves as the roadside component of a vehicle identification system. The unit serves in free flow, electronic toll collection systems, border crossing, access control, weigh stations and other applications. The unit performs two-way communications between host computers and in-vehicle located transponders using ASTM v6 Slotted-Aloha Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol. The reader’s large memory enables autonomous operation without host, keeping data records of up to 2 million vehicles. (Up to 0.5 million may be saved in a nonvolatile memory). It communicates with transponders that enter the reader’s communication zone; at 500 Kbps, using ASK modulation and operating in the 902-928 MHz ISM band (1). The FP-100RA has a very low power drain of less than 5Watts and needs no blowers for heat evacuation. The unit has an integrated antenna-switching unit for lane discrimination of up to 4 lanes. The unit may be battery operated and because of its small size and weight it may be used for law enforcement. Reader Characteristics: • Slotted Aloha protocol –compatible with ASTM v6 for lane based and free flow. • Physical Layer compatible with ASTM PS111-98 requirements. • Synthesized transmit frequency within the ISM band 902–928 MHz. • Fixed receiver frequency within the ISM band 902–928 MHz (915 MHz default). • Receiver with high selectivity (better than 60 dB @ ±3 MHz). • Transmit and receive data rate of 500 Kbps Manchester encoded. • RF Output Power: Software controllable up to 0. 5 Watt (+27 dBm). • Very low spurious and harmonics radiation. • Receiver Sensitivity: better than –65 dBm @BER=10-6 • Software controllable squelch level. • Power Consumption: 3 Watts typical. • Two RS-232 and one RS-232/422 ports to communicate with Host, Weigh in motion (WIM) and maintenance. • Digital I/Os (8 in and 7 out) for loops, sensors and signaling. • Synchronization of multiple Readers at the same site. • Antenna switching unit: 5 Transmit / Receive coaxial connectors. • Small Size: 100x128x28 (LxWxD) mm. • Light Weight: less than 350 gr. (depending on configuration). • Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C (1) The transmit frequency is software selectable.
