TRIND Option Doors with Antennas
Major Hardware Components
UHF Antenna (Q13851-01 and Q13851-02)
This antenna is specifically used to receive the UHF response from the vehicle mount tag. It
has a “pigtail” RG-316 co-axial cable with a SMA jack on the other end connected to it for
ease of manufacture and installation purposes. Q13851-01 is intended for domestic use and is
found in the T20632-G1 Card Cage through Single Loop Antenna Assemblies (T20632-G4).
Q13851-02 is intended for international use and is found in the T20632-G5 Card Cage through
Single-loop Antenna Assemblies (T20632-G8).
Antenna Tuning Board (T20579-GX)
The Antenna Tuning Board (T20579-GX) allows the resonance tuning of the low frequency
downlink antenna to match with the Transmitter Module to compensate for product tolerances
at manufacturing, and to achieve the maximum field strength. The antenna circuit is tuned to
resonance by adjusting the ferrite core of the on-board coil with a 0.10-inch hex tuning tool
located in ASC TRIND Tool Kit.
TRIND Option Doors with Antennas
This section provides descriptions and parts information for TRIND options contained in the
doors of The Advantage Series, MDP-3, Encore, and Eclipse dispensers. This version of
TRIND consists of RFID components, including the antenna, mounted on the door. The
antennas used for the option doors on The Advantage Series and Encore/Eclipse, perform
transmit and receive functions and interact directly with a Micro Reader that’s contained on a
light board located in the door. The inductive antennas utilize the magnetic near field (air
interface) generated by the Micro Reader to interact with the hand-held tags.
The Light Micro Reader PCA (T20601-G1/G2) is used on the The Advantage Series and
MPD-3 dispensers. The T20601-G1 Board has red Light Emitting Diode (LEDs), the
T20601-G2 Board has orange LED’s. The LEDs light to provide an indication to the consumer
that the key tag has been read. In addition, the board processes data received from the key tag
antenna, and sends the processed data to the DCB or Enhanced Gateway Board.
The Key-tag Antenna (T20524-G1) is used on The Advantage Series and MPD-3 dispensers.
It connects to the T20601-GX PCA, and is used as an antenna for the key tag portion of the
system. An R20522-G2 Cable provides a connection between the T20524 and T20601 PCAs.
The Light Micro Reader/Antenna PCA (M01218A001/M01218A002) is used on the
Encore/Eclipse dispensers. The M01218A001 Board has red LEDs, M01218A002 Board has
orange LED’s. The board provides indication to the consumer that the tag has been read. In
addition, the board processes data received from the key tag antenna, and sends the process
data to the DCB or Enhanced Gateway Board. The antenna for key-tag portion of the system
has been integrated into this assembly. This board also has the ability to be reconfigured from
red to orange LEDs, and vice versa, in the field.
The “G” level of this board must match the “G” level of the final assembly. Capacitance
values are different between the boards due to the different sizes of the single loop
antenna itself.
