V07/06/05 deister electronic GmbH 30890 Barsinghausen Germany 5BiTech Handheld Manual-DRAFT-1 IntroductionThe portable full-ISO BiTech readers are so small - they fit even into a shirt pocket - they have avery handy design and are easy to operate even under worse conditions.The readers are compatible to the ISO standard 11785 and read FDX-B and HDX. Tags with thewidely used chip type H4102 can be read as well.The two HOTKEYES can be programmed individually and combined with a special action.Furthermore any read ID could be combined with an ACTION CODE to combine useful informationwith the transponder ID.A look-up table can be downloaded to the reader to show additional information to the transponderID.The BiTech readers have an integrated real-time clock; every ID will be stored with a time stamp.The large memory is sufficient for 2000 IDs, including time stamp and ACTION CODE.The large backlit display has 2 x 16 characters and is very readable.An ergonomic keyboard with 8 keys ensure easy and comfortable operation.The robust case is IP 54 protected and withstands even harsh environments.The BiTech reader is prepared for wireless data communication, loading and power supply togetherwith the BiTech Cradle.Some of the outstanding features of the BiTech readers areACTION CODESTo combine useful information with a transponder ID the BiTech reader offers the ACTION CODES.They can be a numeric value from 1 to 99 or more comfortable an alphanumeric string of up to 10digits. The alphanumeric strings have to be loaded into the BiTech reader. The ACTION CODE canbe combined with the ID after reading automatically or can be chosen out of the list with theSCROLL keys.ACTION CODE PLUSAs a further enhancement this function allows to add an additional numeric value from 0 to 99 to theACTION CODE.HOTKEYSA HOTKEY is more than a simple READ button. It could be programmed to do a lot more than asimple read.With the HOTKEY you can start a complete sequence of functions by just pressing one button.As the BiTech readers have two HOTKEYS, you can program them individually for different tasks.
