Introduction
The Allflex Panel Reader comprises 2 parts, the antenna and the reader control electronics.
The reader section is the electronics that generates the signal used to excite (power up) the
RFID device (Radio Frequency ID). The device is also referred to as a transponder, electronic
ID (EID), as well as electronic eartag , etc. The reader also decodes the signal returned from
the RFID device. The transmission and receipt of signals between the reader and the RFID
device is done via the antenna. The antenna is a specifically designed coil of copper wire
enclosed within the plastic panel.
The Allflex reader is designed to
r
ead devices that meet international
standards ISO 11784 and 11785.
NLIS devices are ISO compliant
d
evices. The reader electronics are
housed inside a control box that
also includes an ammeter, indicator
lamps etc. The control box is
usually fastened to the antenna
using 2 x 5mm countersunk
stainless steel screws. Please see
Assembly Section.
A cable is supplied to provide
12volts DC to the control box. This
cable can be clearly identified
because it has alligator clamps on
one end. The power source should
be a standard automotive, truck or
marine battery. A 240 Volt – 12
volt linear power supply is also
available as an option.
Note : Only the approved linear
240volt supply should be used
because most 240 volt supplies will
generate electrical interference that
may cause the reader to perform
poorly. A second cable, the
The Allflex Medium Panel Reader
(600mm x 400mm)
communications cable, is also
supplied to join the control box to a
computer, scale head etc.
Each Panel Reader is factory tuned for optimum performance in an environment free from
metal structures. Typically, the system will operate without user adjustment in many
installations. Pre-drilled mounting holes in the black panel facilitate user installation, so that
total system setup is fast and easy.
This instruction guide provides the user / installer with information about mechanical
installation, electrical wiring, configuration, operation, and performance characteristics of the
Panel Readers.
