Long life: The Trovan transponder has an extremely long life expectancy as compared to other automatic identification products. Studies by large corporations in the compressed gas industry have shown that the life expectancy of a barcode is under three years. Under accelerated life cycle testing the transponder has an indicated life expectancy of over 20 years! There are no moving parts and no battery to wear out. The transponder is simply an antennae and unique microelectronic chip housed in a protective casing.

Normal wear and tear, end user abuse, and periodic cylinder refurbishing, such as bead blasting, all destroy or shorten the life expectancy of a barcode label. Constantly replacing a barcode is time consuming and expensive. When properly attached, the transponder can be bead blasted and even painted without affecting the readability of the transponder.

Durability: One of the advantages of the Trovan transponder is durability. In addition to the ability to be bead blasted, the transponder can pass a number of other very extreme tests. The Trovan transponder has been heated to over 500 degrees for five minutes and heated to 300 degrees for twenty minutes and still worked properly. In addition, even extreme environments such as radiation and strong magnetic fields do not affect the transponder. The microelectronic chip is housed in a sealed housing making it water resistant. A special epoxy is used to minimize the effects of constant vibrations.

The unique number is laser etched into the transponder. It cannot be altered even when subjected to over 100,000 volts of electricity! This provides a secure and safe means of identification of each of your valuable assets.

Non Visual Read: Since the transponder does not have to be seen or touched to be read, operator speed and efficiency are significantly increased. The transponder can be read through paint, dirt, mud, cement dust, ice, snow or grease. No barcode or other identification device can perform as well under these conditions.

The Trovan transponder has been used successfully to track high pressure cylinders such as oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen cylinders. Modified versions of the Trovan transponder are available for propane and refrigerant cylinders. Unlike many transponders, the Trovan products read very well when attached to metal, making it an excellent choice for other types of asset tracking including returnable steel beams and spools used for shipping wire and cable.

When it comes to a permanent, quality solution for identifying your cylinders and other assets, the TROVAN Transponder is unmatched in accuracy, durability, long-life and efficiency.
