To install or replace the battery (ensure Reader is turned off before proceeding):
•
Turn the Reader over so that the equipment label is visible. Push down gently on
the small ribbed spot just beneath the label and push laterally away from the label.
•
When the battery compartment cover has slid open approximately 10mm, it can be
removed from the channel in which it fits to expose the battery compartment.
•
Install the 9 volt battery observing the polarity orientation etching which appears
in the bottom of the enclosure.
Note: Incorrect installation of the battery will not damage the reader. However, the Reader will
fail to operate unless the battery polarity is correctly oriented.
Reposition the battery compartment cover and snap it into the channel approximately
10mm from the closed position. Once in the channel, press down gently on the ribbed
spot and slide the cover back into the fully closed position.
Note: FDX-B reading distance performance may be slightly less when a nickel cadmium type
battery is installed in the reader. Both HDX and FDX-B reading distance will gradually
deteriorate as any type battery is discharged through normal use. The Compact Reader provides
a Low Battery indication on its LCD display when the battery requires charging or replacement.
released and pressed again to perform a subsequent reading operation. See Figure 2
for a graphical illustration of the Compact Reader’s operating sequence.
Note: Rechargeable batteries must be charged in compatible external charging apparatus.
Note: The battery is checked each time the reader is powered on. If the battery life is nearing
its end, a LOW BATTERY indication will automatically appear on the LCD indicator. If the
battery has become severely discharged, the Reader will fail to power up altogether.
Note: Actual number of transponder reads per battery life will vary with the pattern of use of
the Reader. Numbers shown in Table 2 are based on 1 second scan intervals to level at which
HDX transponder read distance is diminished to approximately 1/2 initial distance.
Note: The Compact Reader turns itself off automatically after 30 seconds (or the user selected
Options Menu alternative time). The Reader can be turned off manually by simultaneously
pressing the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN keys.
Note: When battery life has been exhausted to a point at which battery replacement is required,
the LCD readout will indicate “LOW BATTERY / POWERING DOWN” and will automatically
turn off.

Activating the Compact Reader
After installing the battery, the Compact Reader is ready for use. The Reader is
activated from its normally OFF state by pressing the READ button for about 1
second. Upon depression of this button, the Reader is turned ON, and an indication of
this state is enunciated by momentary flashing of the red LED visual indicator, beeping
of the audible indicator, and displaying of READER READY on its LCD indicator.
Note: If the LAST TAG option in the Options Menu has been set ON, and a transponder has
been previously read, the LCD indicator will show the ID code number of the last transponder
tag that was read.

Reading a Transponder Tag
The Reader is immediately ready for use once it is turned on. Transponder scanning is
performed by pressing the READ button. If the READ button is pressed momentarily,
scanning will be active for a default interval of 3 seconds. If a transponder is detected
during this time, its ID code will be displayed on the LCD, and the LED indicator will
flash once, and the audible beeper will beep once. If the same ID code is read
repetitively, the LED and beeper will flash and beep twice. If no transponder is
detected after 3 seconds of scanning, the LCD will indicate NO TAG FOUND, and
scanning will cease. Pressing READ again initiates the scanning sequence.
Alternately, the READ button may be pressed continuously until the tag is read.
Scanning automatically stops upon ID code acquisition, and the READ button must be

Reading Transponders
Interpreting the Visual ID Codes
Prior to reading transponders in situ, it is recommended that the Reader be checked
with test transponders to ensure satisfactory performance. The user should have
available spare transponders of the types that the Allflex Compact Reader is capable of
reading for this purpose. The chart below provides nominal read distance performance
that can be expected when the transponder is optimally oriented to the Reader.
The Compact Reader is capable of reading the ISO HDX and FDX-B transponder
technologies, and it can be configured via the Options Menu to display the
corresponding tag information in various ways. Table 4 lists the available options, and
provides illustrations of the corresponding display formats. Factory set default option
settings are shown in bold type.

Note: In order to read a transponder, position the transponder as shown in Figure 3 below
within the read range specified in Table 3. Press and release the READ button. The Reader
will search for a transponder for 3 seconds (the factory set default value). If the transponder is
detected during this interval, the Red LED will flash, the audible beeper will sound, and the ID
Code will be displayed on the LCD readout. If no transponder is detected during this search
interval, there will be no audible/visual indication, and the LCD will display NO TAG FOUND.
When any tag is read repeatedly, the LED and beeper flash and sound a double indication.
Holding the READ button down permits scanning until a tag is read.
Note:
When reading installed transponders whose orientation cannot be ascertained, the
reading distance may be less than those listed in Table 3. The Reader may need to be moved
and its orientation may need to be changed in order to obtain a reading. Generally, reading such
non-visible (implanted) transponders will require such Reader movement.

Reading Performance
Figure 5 - Options Menu Navigation
RFID Readers are most frequently assessed with respect to performance by reading distance.
The reading distance performance of a Reader is principally affected by the following effects:
READER
READY
Transponder Orientation - For maximum reading distance, the axes of the transponder and
reader antenna coils must be oriented coaxially.
READ
MENU
Transponder Quality - Each manufacturer’s transponder differs in (a) the amount of exciter
signal energy necessary to sufficiently operate the transponder’s internal circuitry, and (b) the
signal level of the ID Code information that is returned to the reader. Consequently, it is normal
for transponders of a common type (FDX-B, for example) made by different manufacturers to
exhibit different read range performance characteristics.

Transponder Size - Physically larger transponders generally contain larger receiving coils which
produce longer reading distances than smaller transponders.
LEAD 0's
*YES NO
WRLSSYNC

Proximal Metallic Objects - Metal objects located near the transponder or Reader can attenuate
and distort the electromagnetic fields generated in RFID systems, and thus diminish read
distance performance.
Electrical Noise Interference - RFID transponders and readers use electromagnetic signals as a
premise of operation. Other electromagnetic phenomena – radiated electrical noise from
computer displays, for example – can interfere with the transmission and reception of RFID
signals, and consequently reduce reading distance.
Transponder/Reader Interference - Multiple transponders within the sensing range of the
reader, or other readers emitting excitation energy in the immediate vicinity will adversely affect
the reading performance or prevent operation of the Compact Reader.
SCROLL
UP
MENU
INFO
Transponder Motion - Most portable readers have small antenna geometries, and consequently
small effective “reading zones”. Portable readers are generally designed for reading
transponders under quasi-static conditions. Transponders that are moving quickly past the
reader may not be present within the reader’s read zone sufficiently long for all the ID Code
information to be obtained.
Transponder Type - HDX transponders generally exhibit greater reading distances than FDX-B
transponders of comparable size.
