NDX-GATEMAXRFID Reader

User Manual GATE MAX READER This manual describes the use of the GATE MAX reader. The GATE MAX reader is a high-performance Radio Frequency Transponder reader. The GATE MAX reads all ISO 11784/85 FDX/B Transponders for the electronic identification of animals. It helps to reunite the animal with its owner. The GATE MAX reader and the Transponders are manufactured according to ISO Standards 11784 & 11785 for the electronic identification of animals and are products. Index 0. Important 1. Introduction 2.

Introduction The GATE MAX reader has been especially designed for shelters, veterinary clinics and borders to facilitate the pet identification process. The GATE MAX system is composed of a reader, a gate antenna and a power supply. The GATE MAX reader allows a hands free direct identification of the pet when passing through the antennas. The pet simply goes through the reader, the ID number gets read automatically and displayed either on the touch screen (optionally provided)mounted on the antenna or on the computer screen of the clinic,shelter or border. No manual tipping is necessary, which avoids human error in typing the 15 digits ID number and eases the process. 2. GATE MAX Reader System The GATE MAX reader system is in accordance with ISO Standard 11785 and reads the ISO tags FDX-B. The reading range covers the area between the antennas completely. The reader can be connected to a PC: the ID will be displayed either on the touch screen mounted on the antenna (optionally provided) or on the PC screen. The reader includes a RS232 interface for data transmission (ASCII) and can include, alternatively, a USB interface. This system can easily be integrated into an Open Office Package for a database which is used in shelters or veterinary clinics. 4. How to Connect Before start: Plug in the RS232 cable from the GATE MAX reader unit connector to the serial communication COM port of your PC. Optionally, you can plug in a USB cable and install its software on your PC. Then plug in the power cable. The reader is automatically powered by using the ON/OFF switch. 5. Operation (for readers with display) To start reading push the ‘Start’ button on the touch screen (optionally pro- vided). The reader turns on the transmission and now is ready to detect transpon- ders. The display shows the status of the reader with a blinking text ‘Reading’ and with a blinking button. When a transponder is detected, the ID number is shown on the screen. It remains displayed until a new transponder is detected or ”Clear ID” is pressed. To stop the transmission press ‘Stop’. The display shows the status writing ‘Stand-by’. 3. Main Advantages The GATE MAX reader is designed to facilitate pet identification. The main benefits are automatic recognition of the transponder FDX-B (ISO Standard), quick detection (normally no need to scan the pet manually), a safer use for the employees and an automatic process (connection to a database and PC). RS-232 Cable USB Cable Power Cable 3 0. Important This product is sensitive to any external radio frequency disturbances due to the large size of the antennas. Therefore, be aware of its surrounding environment. The following objects can cause interference with the GATE MAX reader and for this reason it is recommended to maintain a distance of 2 to 3 meters: ■Large PC/ TV screen (not flat screens) ■Lamps, motors ■Metal objects (scales, tables, gates, cages, etc.) ■Other RFID handheld readers (e.g. ISO MAX IV) 6. How to Use the GATE MAX Reader ■When a pet passes through the antennas, the transponder is automati- cally detected. If not, make the dog walk slowly 2-3 times through the antennas. A short stand still of 2 seconds between the antennas may also help. ■If a transponder is detected between the antennas, the code is auto- matically read and sent through the RS232 communication cable once. At the same time an ID number is written on the screen. ■If no transponder is present, the read cycle continues. The system reads 30 times per second. ■The GATE MAX reader system detects around 80% of the ISO transponders during the first passage. ■If the pet’s transponder is still not detected after the 3 rd passage, we recommend using a hand-held multi reader with a large antenna (example ISO MAX IV) in order to determine or exclude the presence of an animal identification transponder. Walk through OK NO 3 rd time Verify with handheld reader Display number? if no number please try again 981094573680810 NO 1.Let the pet walk through the reader. The transponder is automatically detected. 2.If no number is displayed, please try again. The reader did not detect a transponder this time. 3.If no number is displayed after three times, please verify that a transponder exists with a portable reader. GATE MAX Reader 4 8. Reader Connected to a PC or a Data Recording System The system has a RS232 interface which communicates with the PC via a serial port (COM) sending all data in ASCII. HyperTerminal can be used as a communication program.

The set up of the Equipment under test will be in accordance to ANSI C63.4-2003. The antenna was positioned 3, 10 or 30 meters horizontally from the EuT. Measurements have been made in all three orthogonal axes and the shielded loop antenna was rotated to locate the maximum of the emissions. In the case where larger measuring distances are required the results will extrapolated based on the values measured on the closer distances according to Section 15.31 (f) (2) [2]. The final measurement will be performed with an EMI Receiver set to Quasi Peak detector except for the frequency bands 9 kHz to 90 kHz and 110 to 490 kHz where an average detector will be used according to Section 15.209 (d) [2]. The final level, expressed in dBμV/m, is arrived at by taking the reading from the EMI receiver (Level dBμV) and adding the antenna correction factor and cable loss factor (Factor dB) to it. This result then has to be compared with the relevant FCC limit. The resolution bandwidth during the measurement is as follows: 9 kHz – 150 kHz: ResBW: 200 Hz 150 kHz – 30 MHz: ResBW: 9 kHz FCC ID:NDX-GATEMAX mikes-testingpartners gmbh File No. T31765-02-00HU, page 23 of 30 Ohmstrasse 2-4 x 94342 Strasskirchen Tel.:+49(0)9424-94810 x Fax:+49(0)9424-9481240 Rev.

Measurements between 30 MHz and 1000 MHz are made with 120 kHz/6 dB bandwidth and quasi-peak detection. Table top equipment is placed on a 1.0 X 1.5 meter non-conducting table 80 centimetres above the ground plane. Floor standing equipment is placed directly on the turntable/ground plane. The set up of the Equipment under test will be in accordance to ANSI C63.4-2003. The Interface cables that are closer than 40 centimetres to the ground plane are bundled in the center in a serpentine fashion so they are at least 40 centimetres from the ground plane. Cables to simulators/testers (if used in this test) are routed through the center of the table and to a screen room located outside the test area. The antenna was positioned 3, 10 or 30 meters horizontally from the EuT. To locate maximum emissions from the test sample the antenna is varied in height from 1 to 4 meters, measurement scans are made with both horizontal and vertical antenna polarization`s and the EuT are rotated 360 degrees. The final level, expressed in dBμV/m, is arrived by taking the reading from the EMI receiver (Level dBμV) and adding the correction factors and cable loss factor (Factor dB) to it. This is done automatically in the EMI receiver, where the correction factors are stored. This result then has the FCC or CISPR limit subtracted from it to provide the Delta which gives the tabular data as shown in the data sheets at page.
