You can activate your TNG RFID Tag following the below steps:
- Click on the RFID icon on the home screen of your Touch ‘n Go eWallet app.
- Click on the ‘Activate’ button.
- Fill/Check your account details.
- Register your vehicle.
- Enter the 24-digit RFID Tag number or scan the bar code on the TNG RFID Tag packaging.
How does an active RFID tag work?
Active RFID tags have a transmitter and their own power source (typically a battery). Instead, they draw power from the reader, which sends out electromagnetic waves that induce a current in the tag’s antenna. Semi-passive tags use a battery to run the chip’s circuitry, but communicate by drawing power from the reader.
Active RFID tags possess their own power source – an internal battery that enables them to have extremely long read ranges as well as large memory banks. Typically, active RFID tags are powered by a battery that will last between 3 – 5 years, but when the battery fails, the active tag will need to be replaced.
How do I know if my RFID is activated?
To check your RFID balance via SMS, here’s what you need to do:
- Text “Autosweep [space] BALINQ [space] Plate Number (Premium subscribers) or Card Number (To-Go subscribers)”. For example: AUTOSWEEP BALINQ ABC123.
- Send to 0917-860-8655 (Globe) or 0918-860-8655 (Smart).
Where do I put RFID Autosweep?
Where can I use them?
- Autosweep RFID can be used at Skyway, SLEX, NAIAX, STAR Tollway, MCX, and TPLEX.
- Easytrip RFID can only be used at NLEX, SCTEX, CAVITEX, and CALAX.
Unlike passive RFID tags that simply contain an antenna and a microchip without an internal power supply, an active RFID tag has its own power supply, which is usually an integrated long-life battery that allows the tag to transmit data continuously and uninterruptedly, regardless of whether or not it is in the field of action of a reader.
Where does the energy from a RFID tag come from?
Passive tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader’s interrogating radio waves. Active tags have a local power source (such as a battery) and may operate hundreds of meters from the RFID reader. Unlike a barcode, the tag need not be within the line of sight of the reader, so it may be embedded in the tracked object.
Active RFID transponders are commonly used in secure access control and in toll booth payment systems. Beacons – In a system that uses an active beacon tag, the tag will not wait to hear the reader’s signal. Instead, true to its name, the tag will ‘beacon’, or send out its specific information every 3 – 5 seconds.
How does an active transponder work in a passive system?
Quoting from the site I found this: In a system that uses an active transponder tag, the reader (like passive systems) will send a signal first, and then the active transponder will send a signal back with the relevant information. ( Source)
