Overview
The Gallagher SmartReader HR1 is a hand held Electronic ID reader which
allows the user to read ISO animal Electronic ID tags.
Tag types read
The Gallagher SmartReader HR1 enables you to read both HDX (Half Duplex)
and FDX-B (Full Duplex-B) Electronic ID tags.
Care and Maintenance
The SmartReader HR1 is a tough and reliable product designed for use in
typical livestock environments. However, proper care and maintenance can
extend the SmartReader’s life. Listed below are guidelines for keeping the
SmartReader in good condition.
• For optimal life, Gallagher recommends that you store the SmartReader in
a cool, dry area (15 to 25 ° Celsius) out of direct sunlight.
• After use, clean the SmartReader with a damp cloth.
Configurator software
The Configurator is a software program that can be used to alter user
settings on the SmartReader. This software program is not supplied with the
SmartReader, however it can be downloaded.
The Configurator is for advanced users and should be used with care as
altering settings affects the operation of the SmartReader.
For further details refer to the SmartReader HR1 Configurator Help (accessible
via the Help menu in the Configurator program).
