Developing the Site Plan
This chapter discusses site plan development for installing the
Encompass
Encompass
®
4H Reader System.
Overview
Developing a site plan provides the foundation for the site’s system design and estab-
lishes the number and general location of primary components.
Also, consider the following factors when developing a site plan:
lishes the number and general location of primary components.
Also, consider the following factors when developing a site plan:
•
Type of tags used in the facility
•
Reader and tag alignment
•
Site layout and traffic flow
•
Encompass 4H Reader mounting requirements
•
Encompass 4H Reader electrical requirements
•
Encompass 4H Reader communications requirements
These factors provide relevant information regarding each site’s physical and electro-
magnetic environment and the conditions under which the system must perform.

Reading of Mixed Population Tags
The Encompass 4H Reader reads TransCore’s Super eGo
®
(SeGo) protocol tags, the
American Trucking Association (ATA) and International Organization for Standard-
ization (ISO) read-only tags, whether powered by battery or beam, application-spe-
cific integrated circuit (ASIC)-based tags with Intellitag technology, or Inter-Agency
Group (IAG) tags. The reader can read the ATA or ISO read-only tags in the presence
of Intellitag-based tags; however, attempting to read an Intellitag-based tag in the
presence of an ATA or ISO read-only tag is not recommended.

Caution
Attempting to read an Intellitag-based tag in the presence of an ATA or ISO read-only
tag may provide unreliable results.
The factors that influence the readability include, but are not limited to physical orien-
tation and configuration, type of read-only tag, ratio of backscatter cross-section of the
tags, and whether the tag is battery- or beam-powered.
