0. Important 3. Main Advantages This product is sensitive to any external radio frequency disturbances due to the large size of the antennas. The GATE MAX reader is designed to facilitate pet identification. The main benefits are automatic recognition of the transponder FDX-B (ISO Standard), quick detection (normally no need to scan the pet manually), a safer use for the employees and an automatic process (connection to a database and PC). Therefore, be aware of its surrounding environment.

6. How to Use the GATE MAX Reader ■ When a pet passes through the antennas, the transponder is automatically detected. If not, make the dog walk slowly 2-3 times through the antennas. A short stand still of 2 seconds between the antennas may also help. ■ If a transponder is detected between the antennas, the code is automatically read and sent through the RS232 communication cable once. At the same time an ID number is written on the screen. ■ If no transponder is present, the read cycle continues.
