GATE MAX READER User Manual This manual describes the use of the GATE MAX reader. The GATE MAX reader is a high-performance Radio Frequency Transponder reader. The GATE MAX reads all ISO 11784/85 FDX/B Transponders for the electronic identification of animals. It helps to reunite the animal with its owner. The GATE MAX reader and the Transponders are manufactured according to ISO Standards 11784 & 11785 for the electronic identification of animals and are products. Index 0. Important 1. Introduction 2.

Main Advantages This product is sensitive to any external radio frequency disturbances due to the large size of the antennas. The GATE MAX reader is designed to facilitate pet identification. The main benefits are automatic recognition of the transponder FDX-B (ISO Standard), quick detection (normally no need to scan the pet manually), a safer use for the employees and an automatic process (connection to a database and PC). Therefore, be aware of its surrounding environment. The following objects can cause interference with the GATE MAX reader and for this reason it is recommended to maintain a distance of 2 to 3 meters: ■ ■ ■ ■ Large PC/ TV screen (not flat screens) Lamps, motors Metal objects (scales, tables, gates, cages, etc.) Other RFID handheld readers (e.g. ISO MAX IV) 1. Introduction The GATE MAX reader has been especially designed for shelters, veterinary clinics and borders to facilitate the pet identification process. The GATE MAX system is composed of a reader, a gate antenna and a power supply. The GATE MAX reader allows a hands free direct identification of the pet when passing through the antennas. The pet simply goes through the reader, the ID number gets read automatically and displayed either on the touch screen (optionally provided) mounted on the antenna or on the computer screen of the clinic, shelter or border. No manual tipping is necessary, which avoids human error in typing the 15 digits ID number and eases the process. 4. How to Connect Before start: Plug in the RS232 cable from the GATE MAX reader unit connector to the serial communication COM port of your PC. Optionally, you can plug in a USB cable and install its software on your PC. Then plug in the power cable. The reader is automatically powered by using the ON/OFF switch. Power Cable RS-232 Cable USB Cable 5. Operation (for readers with display) To start reading push the ‘Start’ button on the touch screen (optionally provided). The reader turns on the transmission and now is ready to detect transponders. The display shows the status of the reader with a blinking text ‘Reading’ and with a blinking button. 2. GATE MAX Reader System The GATE MAX reader system is in accordance with ISO Standard 11785 and reads the ISO tags FDX-B. The reading range covers the area between the antennas completely. The reader can be connected to a PC: the ID will be displayed either on the touch screen mounted on the antenna (optionally provided) or on the PC screen. The reader includes a RS232 interface for data transmission (ASCII) and can include, alternatively, a USB interface. This system can easily be integrated into an Open Office Package for a database which is used in shelters or veterinary clinics. When a transponder is detected, the ID number is shown on the screen. It remains displayed until a new transponder is detected or ”Clear ID” is pressed. To stop the transmission press ‘Stop’. The display shows the status writing ‘Stand-by’. 6. How to Use the GATE MAX Reader ■ When a pet passes through the antennas, the transponder is automatically detected. If not, make the dog walk slowly 2-3 times through the antennas. A short stand still of 2 seconds between the antennas may also help. ■ If a transponder is detected between the antennas, the code is automatically read and sent through the RS232 communication cable once. At the same time an ID number is written on the screen. ■ If no transponder is present, the read cycle continues. The system reads 30 times per second. ■ The GATE MAX reader system detects around 80% of the ISO transponders during the first passage. ■ If the pet’s transponder is still not detected after the 3rd passage, we recommend using a hand-held multi reader with a large antenna (example ISO MAX IV) in order to determine or exclude the presence of an animal identification transponder. GATE MAX Reader 981094573680810 OK Display number? Walk through NO if no number 1. Let the pet walk through the reader. The transponder is automatically detected. please try again 2. If no number is displayed, please try again. The reader did not detect a transponder this time. NO 3rd time Verify with handheld reader 3. If no number is displayed after three times, please verify that a transponder exists with a portable reader. 7. Settings and User Interface 7.1 Main Screen 7.1.1 Reading OFF Test Button: Goes to the noise level screen. Back Button: Comes back to the main screen. On the top right corner of the screen there is the company name followed by the display firmware’s version followed by the reader firmware’s version. 7.3 Noise Level Start Button: Turns on the transmission and reads continuously. Option Button: Go to the ‘option’ menu. 7.1.2 Reading ON This screen shows the noise level detected by the antenna. The noise level must be low to have the maximum performance. Back Button: Come back to the Option Menu. Stop Button: Turns off the transmission and stops the reader. Clear ID Button: Clears the ID on the display screen to allow an easier visualization of the next ID. When Single Mode is selected, it reads another time the same ID. The ID is shown below the ‘ID:’ text. It is composed of 15 numbers. The Country Code is written with 3 numbers or 3 characters according to the ISO 3166 country code table. 7.2 Option Menu If noise is high, please check the surroundings to detect possible sources of interference (see under ”Important”) If noise = 0, there is a transmission problem. Try to restart the GATE MAX antenna and check the surroundings for possible sources of interference. If the problem persists, please contact Datamars / After Sales Service. 8. Reader Connected to a PC or a Data Recording System The system has a RS232 interface which communicates with the PC via a serial port (COM) sending all data in ASCII. HyperTerminal can be used as a communication program. Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > Hyper Terminal Set the communication parameters as follows: Beep Enable / Disable: Set the status of the internal beeper. If enabled, a sound of about 1 second is generated when a new ID is detected Lamp Enable / Disable: Set the status of the light. If enabled, a light of 2 seconds is generated when a new ID is detected Single / Continuous Mode: If ‘continuous’, the system sends the ID continuously (about 30 times per second) to the PC/Display, if ‘single’, it sends the ID only when it is a new one. Where ‘Name’ is a customer choice. Sleep Mode Enable / Disable: If enabled, the reading mode is turned off after 5 minutes when no TAG has been detected. If disabled, the reader is permanently in transmission. Select the corresponding serial port (COM). Note: In general, the COM 1 port is the first one and the USB port the last one in the list. ‘.be1’ Answer ‘.be0’ Answer ‘.li1’ Answer ‘.li0’ Answer ‘.lc1’ Answer ‘.lc0’ Answer ‘.s1’ 8.1 PC Commands To send a command to the reader simply type the following characters: ‘.x’ Answer Call the status of the reader STATUS: Console (C) Reading (R) Beep (BE) Light (L) Lock Code (LC) Sleep Mode (S) Version (V) ‘.r1’ Answer ‘.r0’ Answer 1.2 Answer ‘.s0’ Answer ‘.c1’ Beeper ON, set the status of the internal beeper (optional).
