Important Safety Warnings and Notices
Safety Signal Symbols
This symbol means that there is a potential hazardous situation.
This symbol means that there is a potential electric shock hazard present.
Safety Signal Words
Warning - The word “Warning” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Dangerous - The word “Dangerous” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Electrical Connection Warnings
The installation of DVM Systems’ Dual Fixed Reader must comply with local electrical codes.
The safety, usage and maintenance of the electrical wiring installation are the responsibility of
the customer. Installation should only be done by someone who has experience with
computers and software program installations and who is familiar with computer cabling
installation and electrical wiring in agricultural facilities.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the Dual Fixed Reader electrical boxes. Electrical
connections and parts inside the electrical boxes are to be accessed only by trained, authorized
personnel.
Warning!
We recommend installation be done by a qualified electrician.

FCC Regulatory Statement
User Information for this Radio Frequency Device
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
To comply with FCC RF safety guidelines, keep the transmitter at least 2.5 cm from the head or
body while the transmitter is operating.
“Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.”

Intended Use
The Dual Fixed Reader is an innovative, wireless temperature sensing and identification
system. It is designed to automatically and accurately monitor individual cattle internal
temperatures as cattle pass by the reader antenna.
The DFR system consists of a reader control box, passive radio-frequency rumen transponder
(the Bolus), and driver and receiver panel antennas.

Instructions for Use
This manual will assist you in getting the system set up and started. It provides instructions on
installing the Reader Control Box, setting up the Reader Antennas, and its associated hardware,
to operate the system.
Electrical Box Mounting



The electrical control box needs to be accessible and easy to view.


Mount control box within 6 ft of receive antenna
Should be on flat wall, away from water spray
Mount with ¼ 20 x 1 inch stainless steel button head socket cap screws and hex socket
nut.
Mount the box so that the WiFi antenna is up and the cable grommets are facing down.

Panel Mounting


Secure the drive and receive antenna panels using bolts that go through the
indentations in the panels. Do not drill any other section of the panels as this could
cause damage to the electronics within.
The panels must be oriented with the panel electrical box on the top left corner, when
the panels are viewed from the back.
RFID Antenna Wiring Connection
Dual fixed reader will not work properly if antenna cables have been shortened.





After the DFR panels are mounted, run the cables to the DFR electrical box. The
cables must be routed so that the cows have no access to the cables.
Run receive and drive antenna cables through separate black plastic grommets the in
the bottom of the control box.
Do not cut the cables, wind-up any excess cable inside the electrical box.
Match labels on antenna cables to label inside control box (receive – R+, and R-. drive –
D+ and D-). Secure wire to terminal.
Tighten the grommets on the bottom of the electrical box to seal them.
Power Source Connection – see warnings on the first page
Ground wire must connect to ground lug in control box. The ground lug is marked with a
ground symbol.




Install per local electrical codes
Run AC wire through outdoor ½ inch flexible metallic liquid tight (FMLT) conduit.
Attach conduit to right-most metal fitting.
AC wires; black = hot, white = neutral, green = ground.
Dangerous!
Electrical shock can cause severe injury or death.
High voltage exists inside control box. Disconnect from breaker before opening lid of
control box.
Only authorized person should open electrical boxes.
Installation must comply with local electrical codes.
Disconnect all voltage
Power source should be 120V or 230/240 V AC

Ethernet Network Cable Connection
Run Ethernet cable into Control Box before terminating. (A RJ45 connector will not fit
through the grommet).

Use only RJ45 twisted Ethernet cabling. We recommend 8-wire, category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair.






Ethernet cable should not exceed 200 ft.
Route un-terminated Ethernet cable into control box through grommet.
Crimp RJ45 connector to end of cable.
Plug RJ45 connector into Ethernet connector on the top of circuit board.
Tighten the grommet to seal it.
Plug computer and Dual Fixed Reader into its own RJ45 port on the switch.
Close lid on control box and tighten screws.
Put power switch in ON position.
Drive and Receive Panel Tuning

Tune the antennas using a tuning meter and using the antenna tuning procedure.
