Powercast PCT100-LH

The Powercast PCT100 and PCT200 Sensor Tags enable RFID based monitoring of environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, and light level. Depending on the configuration desired, one, two or all three sensors can be supported on a single tag. The PCT100 Sensor Tag is a high - function RFID tag capable of measuring temperature, humidity, and light level with high accuracy. The tag harnesses the capability of the Powercast Powerharvester Chipset to enable long range, high - function RFID all without the need for an on - board battery. The tags are designed to maximize the RF to DC conversion efficiency of the energy provided by an RFID reader. Using this energy, sensor measurements can be taken and then read back out of the tag’s memory using any standard UHF RFID reader. Powercast’s technology enables a completely maintenance - free and battery - free sensing and tracking solution for UHF RFID applications. The PCT200 family adds a rechargeable battery to enable long lasting data logging capabilities while outside of the RFID reader’s field. The tag has customizable data reading capabilities that can be easily set through a user friendly interface. The tag uses the RFID Reader’s field to recharge the on - board battery while the data is being downloaded. This allows the tag to be reusable without the need to plug - in or change batteries.
