4 Reading Tags

4.1 Reading RFID Tags

Upon starting up, the main screen of the HPR Lite will display the message READY - Press and hold READ
to scan. Pressing and holding the READ button will put the reader in scan mode and will display Reading...
on the main screen. The reader will remain in scan mode as long as the READ button is pressed or until a tag
is read.
Bring the reader as close to the likely location of the PIT tag as possible and move slowly over it.
When a PIT tag is read the HPR Lite, depending on how its settings are configured, will flash the blue LED
indicator once, generate a longer single beep and vibration, store the tag ID in the memory, exit scan mode,
and display the tag ID on the main screen.
When the same tag is read once again the reader will quickly flash the blue LED indicator once, generate a
shorter double beep and vibration, store tag ID in the memory, exit scan mode, and display the tag ID on the
main screen. The reader's actions in this case also depend on its settings' configuration.

When the READ button is released and no tag has been read, the HPR Lite will generate three short beeps,
exit scan mode, and display the message No tag detected then return to the last message that was on the
main screen.

4.2 Testing Reader Performance

The supplied 12mm FDX-B PIT test tag fish keychain should be used to verify operation of the reader. While
not in Power Saving mode, and the test tag located at the center of the reader's antenna loop, fish pointing
into the loop, the tag should have a read range of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) from the center of the loop.
NOTE: The antenna and tag should not be placed on or near any metallic object while reading, as this will
significantly reduce the tag read range.
