MTPro_ISO_Manual.doc - 11/3/2008 Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new AVID MiniTracker Pro Reader. This reader is capable of reading AVID and many other brands of electronic identification tags using the FECAVA and ISO-FDX-B protocols. Instructions 1.Power Button Turn the reader ON by sliding the lower right hand button forward on the face of the reader. When the reader is powered on, it will emit a double beep sound and the LCD will display AVID/FEC/ISO. To turn the reader OFF, slide the button back. (See Figure 1 below) AVID*123*456*789 Battery Compartment Reader Antenna 2. Read Button Press the upper right button (marked “READ”) on the reader to put the reader into the LOOKING mode. (See Figure 1 below) The LCD will display LOOKING. When a microchip is found, the reader will emit two beep tones and display the chip number on the LCD. If the Read button is released before finding a microchip, the message NO ID FOUND will display on the LCD. Figure 1 Copyright 2008 © Avid Identification Systems, Inc. MTPro_ISO_Manual.doc - 11/3/2008 3. Reading The reader antenna is located inside the reader at the top. The bottom of the reader has a label marked “READ HERE” which identifies the antenna area. While pressing down the Read button, scan in a circular pattern while moving toward the head starting from the middle of the back. Figure 2 Battery Compartment AVID*123*456*789 (A) (B) (A) Reader Antenna (B) (A) The reason for this scanning pattern is that chip orientation plays a major role in the optimum performance of the reader and reading distances. In Figure 3, below, CHIP(S) A, in a parallel orientation to the antenna, will achieve its maximum reading distance towards the center of the coil or in parallel to either end of the antenna. CHIP(S) B, in the perpendicular orientation to the antenna, will achieve its maximum read distance towards the outside edges of the antenna. It is therefore recommended to move the antenna in a circular motion so that at some point you are energizing the chip with a greater magnetic field making it easier to find the microchip.

An alkaline battery is recommended for a longer battery life. The battery is located in the battery compartment on the lower backside of the reader. To replace the battery, slide the cover straight off. To secure it, slide the cover back to its original position making sure the wires are securely inside the compartment. WARNING: FOLLOW BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL. 5.Operating the Reader Near Metal Metal objects (especially ferrous metals) absorb electromagnetic fields. Operating the reader antenna or placing the chip too close to metal object can severely limit the range of operation of the system. If you are experiencing reduced operating range of your system, check for metal tabletops, doors, etc. in proximity (a few inches) to any part of the chip/reader environment. 6.Warranty and Service The Avid MiniTracker Pro Reader is warranted against defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and service, for a period of 1 year from the date of shipment from AVID. This warranty will not apply if repairs, parts or adjustments are required due to accident, neglect, or damage during transportation, or causes other than ordinary use. AVID’s sole responsibility under this warranty shall be, at AVID’s option, to either repair or replace any product, which fails during the warranty period. In no event shall AVID be liable for any indirect or consequential damages or loss of profits. A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be issued before a unit is returned to AVID for service. Contact AVID for a RMA number or other service questions. +1(951) 371-7505.
