Destron Universal Portable Reader

PRODUCT NUMBERS:

AXIZSB-1-05 (Axiz SB-1 w/DC Power Cable)
AXIZSB-1-00 (Axiz SB-1 w/AC Power Supply)


The Axiz SB-1 incorporates features unlike any other RFID reader on the market today. Designed to work in combination with Destron Fearing's Neck-Extender antenna (also known as the Head Gate antenna available singly or in a set - one right; one left) or Panel antenna configurations, the new Axiz SB-1 is a powerful, high-speed ISO reader that allows feedlots, dairies and sale barns to read livestock quickly, accurately and without the use of physical restraint.

 

PRODUCT FEATURES:

  • 16,000 tag memory
  • ISO-compliant (FDX-B and HDX)
  • LCD graphical display
  • Programmable self-tuning
  • Multiple reader synchronization
  • Multiple port communication options
  • -22 degrees to 158 degrees F (-30 degrees to 70 degrees C) temperature range
  • FCC and IC approval in process
  • AC or DC power supply

 

ADVANTAGES:

  • Reads all ISO-compliant FDX-B and HDX tag technologies (11784/11785) including microtransponders and custom tag applications.
  • Rugged construction and increased noise immunity make this reader ideal for "noisy" environments, including livestock processing facilities.
  • State-of-the-art decoding technology allows tag numbers to be read from livestock moving rapidly past antenna systems without physical restraint. Read speed, based on antenna configuration, is up to 39 feet (12 m) per second.
  • Internal diagnostics program can validate the system's performance while in use.
  • The Axiz SB-1 utilizes multiple data logging options. Scanned tag numbers can be transmitted via Bluetooth wireless technology or via tethered (RS232, RS485 or USB) cable connections to a PDA, Windows-based PC or scale head.
  • Simple "plug and use" programming and self-tuning capabilities maximize multiple antenna options and facilitiate use in numerous locations/environments and by multiple operators.
  • LCD graphical display provides an easy-to-navigate menu and exhibits tag number, tag counter and status information.
  • Synchronization facilitates use of multiple readers in close proximity.
  • The Axiz SB-1 is designed to resist both dust and water and perform reliably in harsh conditions, including temperature ranges of -22 degress to 158 degrees F (-30 degrees to 70 degrees C).
  • Reader features a field programmable port for custom applications. An external serial device can be attached for data logging.
  • One-year warranty from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship when used as directed. Use of the reader for functions other than RFID tag scanning may permanently damage the components and void the warranty. See official warranty statements in product manual for full details.

Destron Universal Portable Reader

Product Number: FS2001

The FS2001 F-ISO is a versatile stationary, portable and hand-held device that reads radio frequency identification (RFID) tags that are in conformance with ISO-11784 and ISO-11785 standards for A, B, and HDX tags. The configuration consists of transceiver electronics, an antenna connected with a cable and a battery charger. It has been specifically designed for tracking livestock, fish, large/small domesticated animals and wild animals, so it is extremely versatile. It is easily connected to a computer for control, monitoring an installation and logging RFID tag numbers.
As a stationary transceiver system, the unit consists of an electronic receiver unit, tuning box, user definable antennas and a battery charger and/or power supply. Both systems include an RS232 and external DC power cable (if needed).
One of its exclusive features is the ability to be adapted to several types of operations and applications. It can be tailored to the customer's exact needs using the configuration setup menu operated from the front panel keyboard display.
Instead of changing individual option settings when using the reader for a specific type of application, the user can define up to three different sets of "Profiles" for parameter settings and recall a specific set at the time of use. Each of the three profiles includes several options that define the operation of the reader such as store control, use of the COM port, file management etc.
The profiles are stored in backup, battery protected RAM memory to protect the settings during a power outage.

Each profile includes the following:


TAG TYPE: Allows the user to select one, two or three of the technologies desired for the application (A, B, HDX). Reader speed and read range can be increased by specifying only the technologies needed for the user's application.

ANTENNA POWER: Adjustable from 10% to 100% of the nominal value.

STORE MODE: (Selections are OFF, ALL, and SEARCH). ALL selection stores all of the ID's found in the selected Current file. This option prevents the multiple storage of the same Tag ID in the file. If enabled, the messages on the COM port are sent according to the SEARCH setting.

CONTINUOUS MODE: The selection keeps scanning until a valid Tag ID is found, which is the normal operating mode for "hands-free" operation.

TOGGLE MODE: This function is normally used during hand-held operations. Pushing the READ BUTTON momentarily will begin the scanning process until a valid tag is read; then the reader is placed in standby mode until the READ BUTTON is pushed again.

UNIQUE MODE selection defines the reaction of the reader when the same tag is detected several times. The Tag ID will only be enunciated if it is different from the previous Tag ID detected.

INTERNAL "REAL-TIME" CLOCK enables the reader to time and date stamp all tags and can also be set via the RS232 port by the user.

COM SPEED
Tag ID's can be sent via the COM port at baud rates of 2,400, 9,600, 19,200 or 57,600 and displayed in HEX or DECIMAL (with or without a decimal point).

SCANNING FOR TAGS
The tag scanning process can be started and stopped in different ways.
Manually using the READ key or
Remotely using the serial port commands or
Automatically by the reader (defined by the configuration setup).

SELF-TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS
The reader has integrated self-tests used to verify the integrity of the hardware. Two types of tests are performed on the unit. First, there are power-up diagnostics performed each time the unit is turned on and second, it performs periodic self-tests again while in use. The reader can send an alarm to the display and COM port if any failures are detected.

USE: The Destron® Fearing® FS 2001 F-ISO Reader is used with the Destron Handheld Antenna, the Destron EXT Stick Antenna, the Destron Headgate Neck-Extender Antenna, the Destron Portable Cattle Walk-Through Antenna and the Destron 2 x 4 Panel Antenna. When purchasing the FS2001 for use with either the Destron Neck Extender Antenna or the Destron 2 x 4 Panel Antenna, you MUST order either the Auto-Tune feature or the External Tuning Box for the unit to operate properly. The Auto-Tune feature cannot be combined with the battery-integrated FS2001 at this time.
