PCT100 Rev 1

The Powercast PCT100 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 utilizes Powercast’s 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.
