Do you have a problem identifying an animal?

9.1

The reading distance is too short

The maximum reading distance is obtained with the transponder (tag) perpendicular to the antenna
and aimed at the centre 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.
9.2

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 centre of the
reader-antenna. It is possible that some tags will not function if placed in parallel and at the centre of
the antenna. Change the direction of the tag or of the antenna.
9.3

The reader does not work

Charge the reader for at least 30 minutes and try again (recommended time for full battery recharge =
2 hours).
Check the ambient temperature: It has to be between -5ºC and +45º C.
If you're still having problems, please contact your dealer.
The ISO MAX V reader is a product developed and produced by DATAMARS SA, Switzerland.
