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.

Important Notice: Protect Your Identec Tags from Wireless Charging Interference

Wireless chargers rely on high-powered magnetic induction, which can disrupt nearby electronics, including Identec Tags. To prevent potential damage, never place your Identec Tags near or on wireless chargers, as the strong magnetic fields can impair or permanently harm the tags.

For best performance and longevity, always keep your Identec Tags clear of wireless charging zones.
