System Components

The TROVAN™ electronic identification system consists of two basic elements: the transponder and the reader.

The transponder (ID tag) is attached to the object to be identified. It contains no batteries and is hermetically sealed in a housing designed to survive harsh environmental conditions. It is completely maintenance free and in principle, has an unlimited life span. Transponders are available in many form-factors and configurations to suit different applications.

The reader energizes the transponder by means of an electromagnetic field, which is emitted by the antenna. It then receives the code signal returned by the transponder and processes it. Both portable and fixed-mounted readers are available.
