USER MANUAL – Mantis™ II Reader

1 – Introduction

The Mantis™ II System by RF Code is an RFID monitoring system

designed to report Tags within defined Reader operating ranges. The system

utilizes “beacon” Tags that periodically report their presence with an encoded

radio transmission. The Mantis™ II Reader is a dual-channel radio receiver

tuned to the Mantis™ Tag transmission frequency of 303.825 MHz.

This manual provides the instructions for the Mantis™ II Reader setup and

operation. This Reader has different modes of operation and optional

functions that are user-selected depending on the system’s operational

requirements.

The instructions in this manual show how to install, configure, and upgrade

the Mantis™ II Reader as well as tips on Mantis™ Tag placement and

antenna optimization. Operational instructions for the Mantis™ II System

using the TAVIS™ Concentrator software by RF Code are found in the
