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.

In a minimum system, 4 anchors – 3 normal anchors CS5111LP and 1 master anchor
CS5113LP- 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.

1.1 CS3151

1.1.1 Product Description

CS3151 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.

CS3151 are designed so that they 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, CS3151 tags will be in listening mode.
In this mode, the CS3151 tags will listen to the commands from CS5113LP
master anchor for configuration.
Once configuration is completed, CS3151 is in the operating mode and ready
for RTLS tracking.
