The purpose of the Position Marker is to determine exact location of specifically equipped ILR® tags of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' i-Q and i-B series. As the tag passes the induction loop connected to the Position Marker, it is “woken up” and identification data from the Position marker is downloaded onto the tag. Depending on the type of tag, current as well as previous ID's and the relative time of passage over the loop are either repeatedly broadcasted or they can be read from the tag by an ILR reader at a later time and place.
Because of the excellent ability to control the inductive field limits, both lane discrimination and direction recognition are possible. The Position Marker is typically mounted near the induction loop and remains maintenance-free after setting the original parameters. There are two versions available: i-MARK 2 with integrated inductive antenna (loop) and the i-MARK 3 for external loops.
