User is advised to provide suitable protec on for the mains supply, such as RCD. The SDL 150 should be installed in a loca on protected from the weather. Only use the power cables supplied with the SDL 150 reader. Prevent power cables from being a trip hazard in the work area. There are no operator serviceable parts inside the SDL 150 reader or the antennae. Do not remove the cover or expose the inside of the SDL 150 reader for any reason. Do not a empt to repair or replace any part of the reader or antennae. Do not allow the SDL 150 reader or cables to stand in water. Installation Electrical requirements: 240 V mains power source or 12V DC power source. Environmental requirements: Posi on the SDL 150 in a wooden race for best performance. RFID signals can be reduced if there is too much metal between the ear tag and the reader antennae. The SDL 150 reads the RFID tag of each animal passing through inside the race but it can also pick up the tag numbers of animals standing very close to the outside of the race. Keep animals back at least one meter from the outside of the race to avoid uninten onally reading the wrong tags. Any person working in the vicinity of the SDL 150 should NOT carry EID tags in their pockets to prevent uninten onal reading of those tag numbers. The antenna and cables on the outside of the SDL 150 can be damaged by animals chewing or scratching on the equipment. Keep animals well back from the outside of the race. Installing an SDL 150 race reader 1. A ach the SDL150 to the crate or race using only the pre-drilled moun ng holes. 2. A ach the slave antenna to the other side of the crate or race. 3. For best tag reading performance: Sheep - posi on the antennae 520mm apart; Ca le - posi on the antennae 720mm apart. 4. Connect the SDL150 and the slave antenna using the supplied cable. The cable should be long enough to run underneath the crate or race without any tension or ght bends. The cable must be protected from moisture, and must not be pinched or stretched. 5. A ach the power cable to the red connector on the underside of the green box and plug the other end into a mains outlet. The red LED will come on. The green LED will flash briefly. 6. Connect the host (laptop/PC/mobile phone/tablet) by Bluetooth to the SDL 150. The blue LED light will come on to indicate a successful Bluetooth connec on. 7. The SDL150 can operate on a 12 V supply. A special 12 V lead is supplied by Shearwell Data on request. Note: Mul ple EID readers opera ng in the same vicinity must be synchronized or they will not perform properly. Contact Shearwell Data Ltd. for more informa on about synchronizing the SDL150 in a mul -reader situa on. Page 2 SDL 150 Description Control Box Red connector = Power lead Slave antenna Main antenna Red fi ng = Power lead Antenna lead Control box connec ons Bluetooth antenna Green fi ng = Auxillary LEDs Yellow fi ng = Sync input Serial port Auxillary LEDs: To link to an extra light. Sync input: Used to connect mul ple SDL150 readers. Serial port: Used to link the SDL150 to a PC. The host computer must conform to the following se ngs: - 19,200 Board - 8 data bits - 1 stop bit - no parity or flow control NOTE: Only use the serial cable supplied by Shearwell. Power: Unit is supplied with a 240V AC plug-top power supply cable to the mains. The other end connects to the port labelled POWER IN. This supply provides 12 V AC to the SDL150. If you want to drive the unit from a 12 V DC supply (e.g.ba ery) please contact Shearwell Data for a suitable cable. Antenna: Cable connects to the main antenna. Control box lights Dual = Red light when slave antenna is connected. Read = Green light for a successful tag read. Power on = Red light Bluetooth connec on= Blue light The control box has a built-in Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth antenna is visible on the side. The serial number and Bluetooth number are printed on the control box.

Input voltage to plug-top power supply 230-240 V AC Input frequency 50 Hz Interface Full duplex RS232 @ 19,200 baud Scan frequency 134.2KHz Transponder ISO Transponder Auto-tune Automa c at switch on Read Indica on LED and customer connec on Dimensions (height x width) SDL150S: 52 cm x 53 cm Weight SDL150S (pair): 6.8 Kg Opera ng Temperature -5C to 60C Bluetooth Class 1 (up to 100 meters) SDL150L: 52 cm x 98 cm SDL150L(pair): 10.45 Kg Host requirements The SDL 150 output format must be configured correctly to meet the requirements of the host. The default data output format is set to Hexidecimal Raw data which contains the informa on stored on the EID device. On request Shearwell Data can supply the configura on informa on required to change the output format to any of the following. ̶ Hexidecimal: All informa on stored on the microchip. This includes the re tag counter, species iden fier and three reserved digits. ̶ Decimal : Full 16 digits EID device number in decimal format. An example of this is 0940123456789012. ̶ ISO Decimal: EID device number is sent in decimal minus the first 0 of the country code and with a space between the country code and the remaining twelve digits. An example of this would be 940 123456789012. ̶ Full ISO: EID device number is sent in a fully ISO compliant format which contains the 6 ISO standard digits, (re tag counter, species iden fier and three reserved digits) and 15 digit device numberAn example of this would be 1004000940123456789012. ̶ WYSIWYG: EID device with country code 0826i are sent as ‘UK’ followed by 7 digit flock number, followed by a space and the individual 5 digit animal number. An example of this would be UK0123456 12345. If the EID read is not a UK EID the device number will be displayed in decimal. Upon switch-on the reader sends a report down the RS232 line. The report indicates the So ware Revision and the Tuning Variable. A typical report will be as follows: A = 1 - F Cau on This equipment has been designed, constructed and tested for compliance with FCC rules that regulate inten onal and uninten onal radiators.
