Introduction
The Agrident Integrated Reader 300 (AIR300) is a Low Frequency RFID reader working on
134.2KHz, which is designed for the Motorola Workabout Pro - generation 4. It is backwards
compatible to the generations 2 and 3. Since this reader is using the internal USB port for power
supply and communication, it cannot be used with generation 1 of the Workabout Pro, which
does not have an internal USB connector.
Mechanically the AIR300 is using the expansion end cap of the Workabout Pro. That means
that it is physically not possible to operate the reader together with other expansion modules
that are using the extended end cap position.
For all approval and safety information concerning the WORKABOUT Pro Generation 4please
visit www.motorola.com or contact your local Motorola distributor.
Installation of the AIR300 LF-RFID-Reader
The following installation instructions refer to the WORKABOUT PRO G4 – short version. The
instructions and pictures might vary for the long version and for other generations of the
Workabout Pro. Please also see the corresponding Workabout Pro documents for details.
Currently the manuals for all generations of the WORKABOUT PRO are available for download
http://community.psion.com/knowledge/w/knowledgebase/562.workabout-pro-producthere:
manuals.aspx
Before installing a module in the WORKABOUT PRO G4, all power sources must be turned off.
If your unit is using AC power, disconnect it. Now remove the battery cover and the battery.
With the power shut down, you can install the RFID Module AIR300.

Remove the end cap at the top of the WORKABOUT PRO G4.
Connect the USB connector.
Attach the AIR300 housing to the WORKABOUT PRO. Please fix the AIR300 housing with the
two provided M2.5x6 flat-head screws. If you are using the hand strap for the WORKABOUT
PRO, please use the provided 10 millimeter screws instead.

Fix the four screws that were used for mounting the original end cap of the WORKABOUT PRO
into the corresponding holes AIR300 housing.
Insert the battery and attach the cover plate. You may now switch on your WORKABOUT PRO.
Refer to the manual for your management software concerning details about reading
transponders. Please be aware that some registry keys are required to allow Windows loading
the appropriate USB Driver! Please refer to the corresponding documents for details.
Reading transponders
If the AIR300 is activated from your software, the LED is blinking red slowly. If a transponder is
being read, the LED color will change to green.
RF is activated but no tag is in range
RF is activated and a tag is in being read
The green LED is blinking very fast if a tag is read. It is switched on each time the reader
detects the transponder. If your software is switching off the AIR300 directly after reading, you
might only see the LED flashing green once.

The reading range depends on tag type and tag orientation. The following picture shows the
field distribution of the AIR300 antenna:
As a result, there is an optimum orientation:
… and an unfavorable orientation:
Since Boluses also contain glass tags, the reading orientation for injectables is the same as
shown for the Boluses.

The reading ranges are up to 25 centimeters for large, high quality transponders. For small
injectable tags (like used for pets, e.g. 2x12mm), the reading ranges are much smaller. This is
due to physical laws and thus cannot be changed.
The optional external antennas also contain a ferrite rod. Hence the reading characteristics are
similar to the AIR300 internal antenna.
Using an external antenna
Agrident also provides external antennas for the AIR300, for example the AEA580. External
antennas extend the physical read range while the electrical characteristics are similar to the
internal antenna.
This antenna can be connected to the AIR300 by using the external antenna connector on top
of the reader.

Remove the protection cap from the external antenna plug by pulling it to the top first. Now it
can be folded to the side.
The antenna connector fits into the AIR300`s socket in only one position. Therefore the grooves
in the socket and the notches in the cable connector have to match.
Insert the antenna connector into the plug in the correct position and press it down until it is
snapped in.
The push-pull locking style offers a quick and safe connection. The AIR300 automatically
detects the presence of an external antenna. In this case only the external antenna will be used,
the internal one is disabled. If the external antenna is removed, the reader will use the
integrated antenna again as soon as a new reading attempt is started.

When removing the external antenna from the reader, please pull the sleeve of the connector
back in order to unlock the connection. Do not pull the cable – this does not unplug the antenna
connector!
After removing the external antenna connector from the reader, it is very important to attach the
protection cap again in order to protect the connector and the AIR300 electronics from moisture
and dust. Therefore please fold the protection cap back into the direction of the internal antenna
and press it down into the initial position.
