(click on the pictures to expand) This product is no longer available. It has been replaced by the SmartPass 4 reader. Click here for more information. Replaces the AI1620-100 SmartPass Reader. The AI1620 SmartPass reader is used to read AT5110, AT5118, AT5125, AT5133, AT5510 and other identification tags. This unit contains an antenna, RF module, tag decoder, and power supply in a single module. This low speed reader can read rail car AEI tags at speeds of up to 20 mph. The SmartPass reader can be ordered with either an RS-232 or RS-422 serial interface. This makes it very easy to interface to almost any computer. When the SmartPass Reader reads a tag it translates the 120 bits of data encoded in the tag into twenty six-bit alpha/numeric characters. This text string is terminated with a carriage return and a line feed character and then sent to the computer over the serial interface. With this simple interface, programs such as Windows's HyperTerminal can be used to view tag data and send commands to the SmartPass reader. Some of the commands the computer can send to the SmartPass Reader are: - adjust the frequency (adjustable only in the frequency range of 902 to 928MHz) - append time and date to tag data - append input data to tag data (the unit has two dry contact inputs) - set time and date - modify baud rate - run diagnostics The input power is either 16 to 20 VAC (at 47 to 63 Hz) or 16 to 28 VDC. A 110 VAC to 18 VAC transformer (AI1620-005) is available. This allows the SmartPass reader to operate from commercial power.
