3 OPERATING
MODES
The Combi-Booster can operate in a number of operating modes. These modes can be programmed with
a RF-ID programmer (e.g. Nedap XS110W).
3.1 MODE
A
Always on mode
This is the default operating mode. In this mode the combi-booster is continuously active and always
transmits both vehicle-id and driver-id to the reader.
When the button on the combi-booster is pressed the inserted card is read. When there is no card
present in the combi-booster the driver-id is filled with zeros. The combi-booster, without the button being
depressed, will attempt to re-read the inserted card every 5 minutes. This function ensures proper driver
identification when one card is replaced by another card without pressing the button.
3.2 MODE
B
Switched combi-booster / window-tag mode
In this mode the Combi-Booster acts like a normal window tag and continuously transmits only its vehicle-
id to the reader.
When the button on the combi-booster is pressed, the inserted card is read and the combi-booster will
transmit both vehicle-id and driver-id to the reader for a period of 10 seconds. When there is no card
present in the combi-booster, the transmitted driver-id is filled with zeros. After 10 seconds the combi-
booster resumes transmitting only the vehicle-id.
3.3 MODE
C
Switched combi-booster mode
In this mode the combi-booster is inactive until the button on the combi-booster is pressed.
When the button is pressed the inserted card is read and the combi-booster will transmit both vehicle-id
and driver-id to the reader for a period of 10 seconds. When there is no card present the driver-id is filled
with zeros. After the 10 second active period has expired, the combi-booster automatically powers down.
3.4 MODE
D
'Multi-tag' mode
The combi-booster will transmit at random intervals both the vehicle-id and the driver-id. The inactive
period between transmissions allows any other combi-booster in reader ranger to transmit its id.
The inserted card is read when the button is pressed. When there is no card present in the combi-booster
the driver-id is filled with zeros. As in Mode A, the combi-booster automatically re-checks the inserted
card for proper identification every 5 minutes.
Active period: 1 timeslot of 273ms (vehicle-id and driver-id are transmitted 4 times in this period)
Maximum inactive period: 15 timeslots of 273 ms = 4096ms
