About TagMaster Company

TagMaster designs, manufactures and markets advanced long-range radio
frequency identication (RFID) systems and information services associated
with automatic vehicle identication, rail bound transportation and people
access, in order to increase efciency, security, convenience and to decrease
environmental impact. TagMaster exports via a global network of partners,
systems integrators and distributors.
TagMaster manufactures two product lines. The LRseries and the HD-series. All readers are built around
a standard Linux operating system and has an open
development platform.
t
The LR-series consist of Readers and ID-tags
developed for high performance RFID solutions.
The products are used in vehicle access and security
installations all over the world.
t
The HD-series consist of Readers and ID-tags
developed for demanding environments. The products
are used in transportation systems all over the world.
Why TagMaster?

TagMaster LR-series readers

Introduction
Depending on the reader system application installed in
the reader different sets of functionality is made available
in the reader.

features several functions, such as frequency hopping

between frequencies within the specied band, ensuring
smooth and stable operation in multi-reader environments and other RF intensive areas. It is also possible
to adjust the read range of the reader thus being able to
trim the detection area to optimum.
LR-series reader software applications
There is a set of system software applications available
as standard options. One of these applications should
be ordered with any TagMaster long-range reader.

by the host computer using polling procedures
PassMan
The software makes it possible to incorporate the reader
in an existing access control system using Wiegand or

Mag-stripe communication protocols. The software

also makes it possible to connect the reader to a host
computer using different communication protocols.
The reader sends out any tag-reads immediately to the
host computer without prior alert or poll. One or more
readers can be connected in the solution. A loop detector can be connected to enable the reader only when a
vehicle is present.
PassMan eas
This software application has a predened set of functionality that is linked to an "eas" reader. The functionality
is streamlined to facilitate start-up and conguration and
is targeting access installations in a focused manner. It is
not possible to upgrade a reader that has been ordered
with PassMan eas to any other application as the application is locked to the individual reader unit.
ACTS
The ACTS application makes it possible to use the
reader in a stand-alone mode or to control the reader
from a host computer. The software is used in identication systems that require a solution with both information
storage and decisionmaking capabilities. The reader can
in a stand-alone conguration also control other access
equipment such as barriers. No other software is needed
with the ACTS software solution.
WatchMan
The tag-reads made by the reader is collected by the
host computer using a polling procedure. The software
is used in identication systems that include one or
several readers. The software is suited for identication
systems where the reader is controlled from a host computer that handles customised functionality.

Functionality

TagMaster AVI ID-tags

Introduction
TagMaster long range tags are all designed for the 2.45
GHz band taking advantage of the specic possibilities
such as license free operation, long read range and
dense read lobe. The ID-tag is battery powered, keeping
the ID-tag alert, for instantaneous SFnFDUJPO of the reader
signal. The IDtag can be read any number of times
without reducing the energy in the battery. The lifetime
of the tag is therefore fully predictable when used under

Choice of reader and ID-tag for best performance

Every access installation is unique
It is possible to combine tags and readers to achieve a suitable characteristic of the access installation. The read
range is measured as the distance between the reader and the tag. Optimal read range is acheived when positioned
in front of each other and in a parallel position. The read range is a key factor in the dimensioning of an access
installation as this is the safe distance that a tag can be read at. The table below presents the results of various
combinations of readers and tags. Best read range is achieved when the ID-tags antenna planes normal vector is
parallel and in line with the readers corresponding normal vector. The path should be free from any disturbances for
optimal performance.

Read lobe characteristics

The shape of the read area the reading lobe in which the tag is read varies between the different types
of tags. This makes it possible to find a tag/reader combination that suites your installation in the best way.
