TC5

The TC5 is an extremely versatile hands free tag that is normally supplied in a wrist tag housing suitable for attachment to a hospital identity bracelet or nylon wrist strap designed for watches.

The tag components are incorporated in a coin-shaped screw in the module. This design provides OEMs with the perfect building block for custom-designed housings, opening up new market opportunities in both traditional security markets and the automatic identification sector.

The TC5 tag is the latest in a range of tags and readers manufactured by Identec Ltd and which make up the Census® product line. Designed with the OEM market in mind the TC5 tag enables clients to cover numerous applications with a single tag design simply by switching the housing for each tag. The TC5 tag is suitable for wrist and ankle tags, fob tags, and disk tags.
