USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader 4 1 – Introduction The Mantis™ II 433.92MHz 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 433.92MHz Reader is a dual- channel radio receiver tuned to the Mantis™ Tag transmission frequency of 433.92MHz. This manual provides the instructions for the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz 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 433.92MHz Reader as well as tips on Mantis™ Tag placement and antenna optimization. Operational instructions for the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz System using the TAVIS™ Concentrator software by RF Code™ are found in the TAVIS™ Concentrator User Manual. © Copyright 2003 RF Code, Inc.

USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader 5 2 – Hardware The Mantis™ II 433.92MHz 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 433.92MHz Reader (front view) shown with standard ¼-wave helical antennae. Three LEDs are mounted on the front of the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz 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 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 RF Code, Inc.

USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader 6 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 is in standby mode. Rear View – Data Connections Figure 2.2 – Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader (rear view) showing connections for Network/Ethernet (RJ-45), Power, and Serial/COM (RS-232). Several connections are housed on the back of the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader. • Ethernet – RJ-45 Ethernet jack. The Ethernet connection has a link- state “LINK” LED and collision “COL” LED such as those found on common Ethernet network connections. The LINK light stays solid when there is no network activity and flashes when activity is present. • Power – A plug allows for connection to both AC and DC power sources. Power requirements are 12 to 28 VDC and 9 to 20 VAC. • Serial – DB-9 RS-232 Serial port. © Copyright 2003 RF Code, Inc. All rights reserved. UM-C2020-R02-20030422.
