1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The patent-pendingTROI

BT-2 provides identification and tracking capabilities never-before available in such a tiny plastic package designed for rugged or hazardous use-areas.

The BT-2 was designed for all banding situations (2 inch diameter object and larger) using

traditional half-inch wide banding, and is able to withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees C.

A weldable version and an adhesive backed version are also offered.

1.3 READ RANGE

UHF Max read range on

metal with 4W ERP

BT-2

(915 MHz)

660.4 cm / 260 inches

(6.63 m / 21.75 feet)

*The read range listed above was obtained from a lab test environment using an FCC (US)

Reader, test results may be different for an ETSI (EU) reader . Actual test results may be

different. Testing in actual use environments is strongly recommended.

1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS

* NOTE:

The RFID tag will not be functional if the BT-2 is left at the maximum indicated temperaturessuch that the internal soak temperature exceeds +80 deg C (+176 deg F). The RFID tag itself

will function between -50 deg C and +80 deg C.

Operating temperature-50º C to +200º C*

-50º F to + 392º F*

Temperature Cycling Test 200 deg C continuous, for 30 days

IP classification

IP68:

- Complete protection against dust

- Protection against continuous immersion in water

(Tested for 5 hours in 1 m [3.3 ft] depth)

Weather-ability Excellent, including UV-resistance and sea water immersion

Chemical resistance

No physical or performance changes in:

- Salt water

- NaOH (depending on concentration)

- Sulfuric acid (depending on concentration)

- Motor oil (tested in 168 hour exposure)Generally good against:

- Most solvents

- Most acids and bases

1.5 SUPPORTING COMPONENTS

1.5.1 Banding or Optional Epoxy, Optional Adhesive, or Optional WeldingSee Section 2 Installation Instructions for further details and pictures

PurposeUse bands, or optional glue, optional adhesive, or

optional weldable bar to attach BT-2 to metal surface

Advantages

Banding: Rugged; uses traditional half inch banding

Optional Epoxy: Permanent epoxy. No need to drill

holes in mounting surface.

Optional Adhesive: Pressure-sensitive adhesive film

applied to the tag by TROI LLC.

Optional Weld: Very rugged mounting method.

1.6 SUPPORTED SERVICES

Several options are available:

- Tag pre-encoding- Laser engraving on tags surface

For further details, please contact AbleID Ltd.

1.7 POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

Metal surfaces

Metal pipes, metal returnable containers, metal

canisters, metal pallets, high value metal

items, aerospace applications, militaryapplications, etc.


2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 TAG PLACEMENT

The BT-2 tag must be mounted with the large flat side of the tag with the slot towards the

metal surface and with no metal covering the tag. Mounting the tag upside down could

adversely affect the performance of the tag.

Mount this side to metal surface.


6/12

When mounting on a pipe, select an even metal surface so that the entire base of the BT-2 (oras much of it as possible) is in contact with the mounting surface.

The BT-2’s performance depends on the shape of the metal object and the tags placement onthat surface. Testing is recommended to verify performance in each use-case.

2.2 TAG ATTACHING METHODS

The tag can be either banded, glued (epoxyed), adhered (pressure-sensitive adhesive strip on

BT-2), or welded to the metal surface.

NOTE: Epoxying or using the pressure-sensitive adhesive requires the mounting surface on

the pipe to be free of dirt and debris.

2.2.1 Banding the tag to the metal surface

Banding is an effective mounting and retention method. TROI offers many banding options –

contact us.

2.2.1.1 Banding Options

TROI LLC offers a number of banding options: Contact us for more details or to let us know

of your banding needs.

BT-2-B1; plastic banding mounted through tag (other banding material can be used)



7/12

BT-2-B2; metal banding looped through the tag (other banding material can be used)

2.2.2 Gluing (epoxying) the tag to the metal surface

It is strongly recommended that TROI’s AP-1 adhesive_paint be used when gluing tags.(See TROI’s AP-1 adhesive_paint datasheet for details).

Whichever epoxy is used, make sure that the mounting surface is clean and free of debris

before gluing the tag to the surface.

NOTE: It is not required that the surface be “polished” for the epoxy to function. In fact, a

slightly “rough” (but without any debris remaining) surface may aid adhesion.

2.2.3 Pressure-sensitive adhesive

This is the quickest method of attachment; peel the liner from the adhesive and press the tag

to the cleaned mounting surface. NOTE: It is also the least rugged attachment method.

2.2.4 Welding the tag to the metal surface

Welding the tag to the metal surface is the most rugged attachment method available.

2.2.4.1 Weldable Option

The BT-2 is also offered in a weldable configuration.

BT-2-W1; The weldable steel bar protrudes approximately ½ inch from either side of thetag.
