A Description of the OMNI MAX Universal Scanner
OMNI MAX is the newest, portable, universal reader from Datamars with the strongest feature-set of any
microchip reader available, making it a perfect fit for animal identification in any environment.
OMNI MAX is able to read FDX-B (ISO), FDX-A/FECAVA, Trovan, and either HDX ISO or Avid encrypted,
depending on the reader version. From puppies and kittens to seniors, from pocket pets to horses, indoors
and outdoors – OMNI MAX delivers the identification you need.
OMNI MAX has an innovative antenna that runs along the full perimeter of the reader, greatly increasing the
read field for fast and easy scanning. This larger, wider read field improves the read distance and time –
which are critical to making an identification. With OMNI MAX, Datamars delivers the most modern available
technology to ensure the fastest possible microchip ID with every read.
Connect OMNI MAX to your computer via USB or optional Bluetooth wireless. The keyboard wedge allows
microchip IDs to be transmitted directly to your computer, tablet or smartphone and any other Windows or
Mac compatible application as if typed by a keyboard, eliminating the possibility of transcription errors.
Communication with your computer, as well as updating the scanner firmware can be managed through the
S-ID software tool, available for download at www.datamars.com.
OMNI MAX improves the speed and reliability of animal ID for veterinarians, shelters, and animal control
officers around the world. OMNI MAX is delivered in a practical carrier box, including quick start guide, USB
cable and power supply.
