COMPACT MAX Reader User Manual 8 05.08.2014
6 Do you have a problem identifying an animal?
6.1 The reading distance is too short
The maximum reading distance is obtained with the transponder (TAG) perpendicular to the antenna and
aimed at the center of the antenna coil. If the tag is implanted into an animal its orientation may not be
optimal and therefore the reading distance may be reduced.
You might be close to a source of electromagnetic disturbances like video or TV. Move a few meters away
and try again.
Do not use the reader on a steel table. The metal will reduce the performance of the antenna.
The reading distance is reduced if the transponder is still in the needle.
6.2 The reader does not read the transponder
Change the angle of the reader and try again.
Some types of transponders from other manufacturers are disturbed if placed in the center of the reader-
antenna. It is possible that some tags will not function if placed in parallel and at the center of the antenna.
Change the direction of the tag or of the antenna.
6.3 The reader does not work
Check the temperature: it has to be between -10ºC and +55º C.
If you’re still having problems, please contact your dealer.
The COMPACT MAX reader is a product developed and produced by DATAMARS, Switzerland.
