VP5002-300PM-00GB-V-Scan Manual version 2.7 / Page 1 1. Introduction The V-Scan Hand held reader is the final stage in benefiting from RF animal ID. It is used for reliable ISO tag reading with animal data display along with user definable data input. Furthermore the V-Scan enables easy interfacing with any PC and/or PDA software application using the V-Scan Data Manager application software. Also an ASCII protocol is available to send the read and/or stored data in the V-Scan to an host application. Moreover the V-Scan can be connected to the Velos management system. In that case the V-Scan – Velos synchronisation application transfers data between the Velos processing unit (VPU) and the V-Scan. Summarized:  Easy and reliable animal identification  ISO compliant RF reader  Ergonomic design  Audible and visible reading confirmation  Easy data transfer between V-Scan and any PC software via USB or Bluetooth  Data entry in user definable database  Interfacing with Nedap Velos Management System The hand held reader is delivered together with a Software package, battery charger and USB cable. The matching type of charger is provided (110V or 230V) depending on the V-Scan model ordered ( EU or USA). Optionally a car adaptor charger (12/24V DC) can be ordered.
