Page 5 of 28. 5 USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II Reader 1 – Introduction The Mantis™ II System by RF Code is an RFID monitoring system designed to report Tags within defined Reader operating ranges. The system utilizes “beacon” Tags that periodically report their presence with an encoded radio transmission. The Mantis™ II Reader is a dual-channel radio receiver tuned to the Mantis™ Tag transmission frequency of 303.825 MHz. This manual provides the instructions for the Mantis™ II Reader setup and operation. This Reader has different modes of operation and optional functions that are user-selected depending on the system’s operational requirements. The instructions in this manual show how to install, configure, and upgrade the Mantis™ II Reader as well as tips on Mantis™ Tag placement and antenna optimization. Operational instructions for the Mantis™ II System using the TAVIS™ Concentrator software by RF Code are found in the TAVIS™ Concentrator user manual. © Copyright 2003-2005 RF Code, Inc.

Page 6 of 28. 6 USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II Reader 2 – Hardware The Mantis™ II Reader is housed in a 5 x 5 x 1.5 inch (12.7 x 12.7 x 3.81 cm) metal chassis and contains the internal components of a RFID Reader combined with connections to allow for both Ethernet and serial port connectivity. Front View – LED Indicators Figure 2.1 – Mantis™ II Reader (front view) shown with standard ¼-wave helical antennas. Three LEDs are mounted on the front of the Mantis™ II Reader. • Unlabeled LED – This LED is used for a feature that is not implemented in this version of the Reader. • On-Ready LED – This LED indicates that the Reader has power applied through an external power adapter. • Tag Activity LED – This LED is used for two purposes: (1) to show the status of the Reader while in standby mode and (2) to show Tag detections while in operation. © Copyright 2003-2005 RF Code, Inc.

Page 7 of 28. 7 USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II Reader Tag Activity LED • While Operating – The Tag Activity LED flashes intermittently, indicating the Reader has read one or more Tags each time it flashes. Because the Reader can decode Tags faster than the light can be turned on and off, a single flash may indicate more than one Tag being decoded. • While in Standby Mode – The Tag Activity LED turns on and off at a distinctive rate that indicates the Reader…
