Introduction The Mantis™ II 433.92 MHz 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 433.92 MHz Reader is a dual-channel radio receiver tuned to the Mantis™ Tag transmission frequency of 433.92 MHz. This manual provides the instructions for the Mantis™ II 433.92 MHz 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 433.92 MHz Reader as well as tips on Mantis™ Tag placement and antenna optimization. Operational instructions for the Mantis™ II 433.92 MHz System using the TAVIS™ Concentrator software by RF Code™ are found in the TAVIS™ Concentrator User Manual. © Copyright 2004-2006 RF Code, Inc.

Hardware The Mantis™ II 433.92 MHz 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 433.92 MHz Reader (front view) shown with standard ¼-wave helical antennae. Three LEDs are mounted on the front of the Mantis™ II 433.92 MHz 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 2004-2006 RF Code, Inc.

Page 6 of 24. 6 USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II 433.92 MHz 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. •…
