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.
