To order additional accessories and for kit information, please contact Digital Angel at 1-800-328-0118. Page 3 II. Getting Started Features of the reader • Can read up to 18,000 tags on a single battery charge • Wired (serial) or wireless (Bluetooth) operation • Capable of storing 510 RFID tags (DTR3 only) • Configurable using either a utility program or a communications program (DTR3 only) Battery information Type The battery in the kit is custom designed for the reader. The use of other commercial batteries WILL NOT activate the reader and could cause permanent damage. Installation To install the battery, remove the thumb screw and slide open the door on the end of the reader handle. After inserting the battery, close the door and tighten the thumb screw. Important: Only one end of the battery is designed to enter the chamber. If battery does not fit easily, turn it over and re-insert. Forcing the incorrect end of the battery into the chamber could damage the components. Page 4 Charging The battery should be fully charged before the first use and should only be charged with the supplied charger. The battery may be charged either within or outside the battery chamber. When leaving the battery within the battery chamber, loosen the battery door thumbscrew one turn and then slide the cover to expose the charging receptacle. 1) Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet. 2) Plug the charger cord into the battery receptacle. The charger will disconnect power to the reader. The reader cannot be used while the battery is charging. 3) Periodically monitor the progress. The Status light on the charger indicates the state of the battery. • Yellow = the battery needs charging. • Green = the battery is fully charged. The battery should fully charge in about two hours. It is not possible to overcharge the battery. 4) When the battery is charged, remove the charger and close the battery door. The reader is now ready for operation. Page 5 III. Operation Activate the reader Push the activation switch on the bottom of the reader to turn power on (allow five seconds for startup to complete). The red light on the top of the reader will be lit and will remain on while the reader is active. The reader will stay active for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes the reader will automatically shut down. Steady red: Power is on. Flashing red: Reader memory is more than 90% full (applies to DTR3 Readers only). Flashing blue: Reader is searching for wireless connection. Steady blue: Reader is connected to host. One green flash: A tag has been read. Red Light Blue Light Green Light Page 6 Reading tags Press the scanning switch and hold it until the tag has been successfully scanned. You must pass the reader within six inches of the ID tag. Be sure to release the switch before scanning the next tag. This allows the reader to return to scan mode. DTR3 Reader On a DTR3 Reader the tags are stored by default in memory on the reader. If a tag is successfully read and saved, the green indicator light will flash twice and the reader will beep twice. If the same tag is read twice in a row, the green indicator light will flash once and the reader will beep once but the tag will not be saved in memory. The tags are downloaded from the reader using the InfodexM utility. If the memory function is disabled the DTR3 Reader will operate the same as the DTR1 reader. DTR1 Reader The DTR1 reader does not contain any memory and the tags are immediately downloaded to a host device via either a serial or Bluetooth connection. Pre-test before scanning animals A test tag is been provided with the reader. Hold this tag in the palm of your hand and pass the reader over the tag. Storage Be careful that the power switch is not accidentally held in the “on” position during storage. If it is held on the reader battery will deplete and need to be re-charged. Page 7 IV. Installing Infodex ® M (DTR3 Readers only) Infodex®M is a utility that enables you to: • Configure the reader • Download tags from the reader to the utility • Export tag IDs to your computer Requirements • Windows 2000 or Windows XP • .NET Framework 2.0 or later (automatically installed for you during the utility installation process) • RS-232 serial port or Bluetooth connectivity Installation To install InfodexM: 1) Insert the InfodexM CD into the CD drive. The Welcome dialog should automatically appear. If it doesn’t, simply double-click the Setup.exe file on the CD. 2) Click Next. The Select Installation Folder dialog is displayed. 3) If you accept the default folder and user values, click Next. Otherwise, modify the values and then click Next. The Confirm Installation dialog is displayed. 4) To begin the installation process, click Next. 5) When the Installation Complete dialog is displayed, click Close. Page 8 V. Connecting To A Host Serial cable connection 1) Turn on the reader and then connect it to your host data collection device (PDA, computer, etc.) using the serial communication cable provided with the reader. 2) Configure the data collection software.  If using a communications program such as HyperTerminal, use the following RS232 settings: • Baud rate: 9600 • Data bits: 8 • Parity: None • Stop bits: 1 • Flow: None  If using InfodexM (DTR3 models only), start the utility by selecting Start > All Programs >…

It is made up of two coils and some series capacitors tuned to peak the antenna current at 134.2 KHz. Operational Description The Cattle Paddle DTR reader is designed to read RFID transponders that operate at a frequency of 134.2 KHz. The reader sends out a magnetic field through the antenna coil at that frequency. Using the receiver coil antenna, the signal is received back from the transponder, sent through filters and decoded by the microprocessor. The resultant transponder ID is then sent out the RS232 port or the Blue Tooth Serial connection to a host computer. The Cattle Paddle DTR reader is designed to operate on an internal rechargeable battery. Circuit Functions Main Board The main board contains the microprocessor and support circuitry for I/O functions such as serial communications through the RS232 port and communication through the Blue Tooth serial interface board. The main board also contains the tuned amplifier with circuitry to decode all ISO compliant tags. The CPU generates the 134.2 kHz signal by dividing the main clock signal. Tuning Board The tuning board contains the series tuning capacitors for driving the sending and receiving coil antennas to peak at 134.2 kHz. Blue Tooth Board This proprietary board allows us to communicate with a host computer using a Blue Tooth Serial Connection. This eliminates the need for an RS232 cable.
