Chapter 1 System Overview
The AI1422E Reader System is a microprocessor-controlled, single-
antenna unit that uses a unique communications protocol to interface
with vehicle identification (ID) equipment.
This reader system uses radio frequency (RF) energy to read data from tags. The AI1422E
Reader System then decodes the tag ID information, validates the ID code, and transmits
tag data directly to a host processor for real-time data processing and use.
Communications (terminal) programs usually do not provide adequate data processing
capability. Your host computer software can be customized to provide the required
capabilities.
The AI1422E Reader System consists of the AI1422E Reader, which consists of a reader and
RF module, combined with a TransCore antenna, a TransCore tag, a host processor system,
and a power source.
