7.6.1 Reader Settings
7.6.1.1 Animal Counter On/Off
The animal counter decides about the question, if double reads are saved or not. A double read
occurs if a tag with one and the same EID is read within the same group again. When the animal
counter is activated, it is not possible to store the same EID within the same group again. If not
activated, it is possible to do that - the AWR250 does not check for double reads then.
Decide whether the Animal Counter should be activated or
not using the / / / keys and confirm with .
The display also looks different after reading a transponder depending on how this setting is
configured:
Animal Counter = off
Animal Counter = on
When the Animal Counter is not activated, the current group and the number of records in this
group is shown but the records can also include duplicate EIDs. When the Animal Counter is
activated, the displays shows ‘
Animals
’ instead of ‘
Records
’ – duplicates are not possible here.
7.6.1.2 Set Read Mode
Per factory defaults, the AWR250
is configured to ‘
Single Read
’. This means that RFID is
activated until a transponder has been detected or the
‘
Single Read Time
’ (default = 10 seconds)
has elapsed. The key has to be pressed in order to scan for tags again.
The AWR250
also allows to use the ‘
Continuous Read
’ mode. The RFID engine will not be de-
activated after a tag has been read. It will continue scanning until
the ‘
Continuous Read
Time
’
(default = 60 seconds) has elapsed. Every new tag read resets this timeout.
Select the Read Mode using the
/
/
/
keys and
confirm with .
The setting ‘
Auto
’ will start a Single Read on a short press of and Continuous Reading on a
long press ( > one second).
