Details

The TVP1 Performance test tag is used in safety critical situations where the continued operation of the reader has to be monitored. It ensures that the reader remains fully operational, and gives an assurance that the desired reading range is being maintained. The RVx reader can address several aerials, each of which must have a TVP1 to monitor the field.

The reader checks that each test tag aerial combination is functioning correctly. If either the test tag or the reader is compromised a relay will operate and the reader can generate an alarm report via the Wiegand or Serial output port. The TVP1 test tag can be used with RV1 and RVR1 type readers such as RV1(x-x)  which have multiple aerial loops.

The TVP1 is required when a split transmit and receive solution has been employed.

An alternative product is the TVP2 which is an "in line" performance test tag.
