Introduction

The CSL RTLS solution is based on the application of time of arrival technology.

In the RTLS, an anchor is the device installed in a known position inside a zone,
normally, at the corners of the zone. The moving tag inside the zone can measure the
range to each anchor so as to obtain its absolute position inside the zone.

Anchor

In a minimum system, 4 anchors – 3 slave anchors CS5111TD/CS5112TD and 1
master anchor CS5113TD/CS5114TD- are installed in a zone. However, the more the
anchors are installed, the higher the accuracy of the tag position to be obtained.
The accuracy of positioning is +/-1 meter.

1 System Component Description

1.1 CS3151TC

1.1.1 Product Description

CS3151TC is a battery-operated active RFID tag. Three AAA size primary
batteries ( either alkaline or lithium/Iron Disulfide )or Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries can be installed for normal function.

CS3151TC is designed so that it can be attached to the tracking assets or simply
hanging on the moving objects, depending on the applications. There are four
holes on the corners of the tag housing that can allow the tag to be bolted firmly
on the asset. Both of the facets have light indicators so either face can be attached
to the asset.

1.1.2 Installation Procedure

When batteries are initially installed, CS3151TC tags will be in listening
mode. In this mode, the CS3151TC tags will listen to the commands from
CS5113TD/CS5114TD master anchor for configuration.
Once configuration is completed, CS3151TC is in the operating mode and
ready for RTLS tracking.
