Guardus G7

The Guardus G7 (commonly referred to as a "wand" by users) is an advanced tour system reader and data collection tool.

The job of the Guardus G7 is to collect data from tour checkpoints using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology.

The basic concept behind a tour system is to strategically position checkpoints along a tour route, the guard or staff member performing the tour then places the Guardus G7 on the checkpoint recording that it has been passed by, the information recorded is then downloaded to the tour system software were reports and information collected are available.

What is the difference between the Guardus G7 and the Guardus G3 series?

The greatest difference between the Guardus G7 and the Guardus G3/Guardus G3 V9 is the technology that is used to read checkpoints. The Guardus G7 uses RFID where the Guardus G3/Guardus G3 V9 reads iButton technology.

RFID checkpoints don't need direct contact unlike the iButton checkpoints, this allows for checkpoints to be hidden under most surfaces reducing visual pollution in the area and greater security to the checkpoints.

The Guardus G7 is also designed with an extremely strong industrial polycarbonate plastic in the head to allow the RFID checkpoints to be read. Just like the Guardus G3/Guardus G3 V9 we use an Aerospace Aluminum (Duralumin T6) for the body ensuring the Guardus G7 is the strongest RFID data collection device on the market.

Finally, to transfer data to a computer or network the Guardus G7 uses infrared technology, this means you just point the iR sensor towards the interface (a bit like how you use a remote control with a TV) and the data is transferred.

The Guardus G7 is tough, REALLY tough because:

• The body is made out of Aerospace Aluminum (Duralumin T6), not plastic or weaker metals
• The head is made out of industrial grade polycarbonate plastic (Lexan) to allow the RFID checkpoints to read, this plastic is designed to withstand impact and other mistreatment
• Has a specially developed resin to protect the internal workings of the wand from impact, shock, water, moisture, chemical exposure and more
• With no buttons or screens the strength of the Guardus G7 is not compromised and vandalism is no longer an option
• Can handle approximately 95% humidity without condensation
• Each unit is quality checked and tested to ensure you get the best available
• For your piece of mind you get a 2-year manufacturer's warranty
