Escort LRP2000 manual Introduction, Unpacking and Inspection

1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Escort Memory Systems' passive read/write system is a complete family of field-proven read/write Radio- Frequency Identification (RFID) products. The system consists of RFID tags, reader/writers, antennas, controllers, bus interfaces, and ancillary equipment. Tags can be attached to a product or its carrier, and act as an electronic identifier, job sheet, portable database, or manifest. Tags are read and updated through any non-conductive material while moving or standing still via an Escort Memory Systems Reader/ Writer.

Escort Memory Systems' LRP-Series long-range passive RFID system is the latest in our line of high performance, industrial RFID equipment. The passive design of the LRP read/write system uses the RF field from the antenna to power the tag, eliminating the need for tag batteries. The LRP passive read/write system is designed to provide cost-effective RFID data collection and control solutions to automation, item- level tracking, and material handling applications.

The LRP system uses the internationally recognized ISM frequency of 13.56 MHZ to power the tag and establish a radio link to transfer the information. The LRP2000 is specifically designed to work with LRP- Series passive tags, which provide 48 bytes of reprogrammable memory, and LRP-SISO-15693 compliant tags, which provide up to 8K bytes of reprogrammable memory.

NOTE: Published performance specifications are based on Philips ICODE SLi tags.
