2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE

When you have mounted your Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Reader, and you are ready to use it, please ensure the following steps are closely followed:

When inserting or attaching a new electronic RFID device into or on an animal, keep all other electronic RFID devices a minimum of 3 meters away from the Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Reader. This will ensure you only read the device you are inserting or attaching.

Keep computers a minimum of 3 meters away from the Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Reader.

Securely fasten the computer lead into your scale indicator or computer – screw the connectors into place.

3.0 WARNINGS

Never open the reader box.

Never drill the antenna.

Some magnetic fields will affect reading, such as some computers, computer monitors, electric motors and generators. This may affect your read range and therefore your reader is being interfered with.

4.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Keep all spare electronic RFID devices away from the Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Reader.

Protect computer and power leads from animals if the system is left in the yards.

Treat the system with care; Aleis has built this system for the cattle yards, but it is an electronic unit and must be treated accordingly.

Keep all reader connectors clean and screw covers on fittings when not in use.

MOST IMPORTANT: Aleis’ customers are our highest priority, and if you have any queries, please feel most welcome to contact your Aleis distributor.

6.0 OPTIONAL POWER

Only use high quality regulated linear power supplies or solar panels. Please contact Aleis with any queries, you may have.

Some switch mode power supplies are NOT suitable and must not be used.

7.0 USING A POWER SUPPLY

If you purchased an ISO-FFNB System without a power supply, then you will need to use a power supply to power the reader. An external 12 volt battery can be used, or a regulated linear power supply. DO NOT USE A SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLY as some switch mode power supplies can interfere with the performance of the system. The power supply must be approved for use in your country and meet all your countries emission and standard requirements.

If you purchased an ISO-FFNB System with a power supply you must follow the manufactures requirements for the power supply supplied with the system. If the power supply is marked “Indoor Use Only” you must mount the power supply in a dry indoor location and in a safe location. Always follow your country’s/state electrical requirement’s.

Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Operational Manual

9.1 How to: Read & Store RFIDs

1. Turn the Reader ON.

2. When using the wand and wave the wand past the RFID device - ear tag or rumen pellet.

When reading rumen pellets, simply wave the wand in a reverse ‘L’ pattern behind the front leg of the animal, or in front of the brisket.

3. When you have finished reading, you may turn the Reader OFF, and download it later at

your PC, or you may start a new session and read another group of animals.

9.2 How to: Create Sessions using menu.

1. To start a new session to read another group of animals, simply press the MENU button.

2. The word ‘Session’ will be highlighted, press the OK button.

3. The word ‘New’ will be highlighted, press the OK button.

4. Select Yes by using the left arrow key, then press the OK button. (If previous sessions are

empty, you will not be able to create a new session)

5. Press the C button (located to the left of the MENU button) until you return to the main

reading screen, and read the next group of cattle.

9.3 How to: Create Sessions using the F1 Key.

1. Press F1 to start new session. Four Beeps will be heard.

Note: you can start a new session even if the one you have ended has no RFID devices in it.

9.4 How to: Upload RFIDs into the Reader

The feature of uploading RFIDs into the reader is to allow you to find particular RFIDs that you need to identify. For example, if you need to find a particular animal that was treated with a certain medicinal treatment, you can upload the RFID into the reader. When you read the animal with that RFID, the reader will alert you with a long series of beeps so that you will know you have found the animal you were looking for.

To use this feature, there are two steps you will need to perform:

1. Create a file to upload into the reader.

2. Upload the RFIDs into the reader.

Before starting you will need:

1. Aleis DataLink installed on your computer.

2. A working COM port – you can check this by turning your reader on, and then opening

Aleis DataLink. Down the bottom right corner of the Aleis DataLink screen, you should see that the software has connected to a particular unit.

3. A list of RFIDs that you want to put into the reader.

10 of 45

Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Operational Manual

Step 1: Creating a file to upload into the reader.

Creating the file to upload into the reader is very easy. You can do this in Microsoft Excel or Wordpad or Notepad. All you need to do is have a list of RFIDs with the word TAG as the first entry, ie at the top of the list. It must look like this:

TAG 982 000023661452 982 000016654299 982 000027909419 982 000024909416 982 000009161045 982 000024566253 982 000015883922 982 000030781909

If you are using Microsoft Excel, then simply put this in Column A, with the word TAG in Row 1.

Once you have done this, you will need to save this as a text file (*.txt). It is very important that you save this as a text file or the operation will not work. Hint: When you save this, give it a name that is five letters or less.

Step 2: Upload the files into the reader.

1. Open up Aleis DataLink.

2. Once the software has found the reader, click on the Open button located at the left side

of the DataLink screen (there is a big yellow manilla folder on the button).

3. Find the file that you created, and click on the open button.

4. You will see that file name listed in the main screen of Aleis DataLink where the session

names and numbers are normally displayed.

5. Click on that file name.

6. Now click on the Upload button located at the left side of the DataLink screen.

7. You will be asked to enter a name. If you want to change the name, go ahead and type

in what you would like, then click on the OK button.

8. When it has been successfully uploaded, you will see at the bottom left of the DataLink

screen, the words, “Upload Complete”.

9.5 How to: Compare RFIDs in the Reader

You want to ensure that every time you read an RFID, the reader is checking it against the list of RFIDs you have uploaded into the reader. To make this happen, do the following:

1. Ensure the reader is turned on.

2. Start a new session – as per your requirements . . . so you will be using a template that you

are planning to do your work with.

3. Once you have started the new session, and you are in the main reading screen, press the

MENU button.

4. Scroll down to Read Setup and press the OK button.

5. Scroll down to Comparison and press the OK button.

6. Scroll down to  Session ( ) and press the OK button.

7. Scroll back to the name you saved the uploaded file as and press the OK button.

8. Press the C button (located beside the MENU button).

9. The reader will then reboot – now press the MENU button again.

10. Scroll down to Read Setup and press the OK button.

11 of 45

Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Operational Manual

11. Scroll down to Alert and press the OK button.

12. Ensure Condition is highlighted and press the OK button.

13. Scroll down to  On Match and press the OK button – you will see a tick appear in the

box.

14. Press the C button (located beside the MENU button).

15. Scroll down to Action and press the OK button.

16. Scroll down to  Msg, LEDs, Buzzer and press the OK button – you will see a tick appear

in the box.

17. Press the C button (located beside the MENU button).

18. Scroll down to Duration and press the OK button.

19. Choose the setting you want and press the OK button. ‘Until Keypress’ means that the

reader will continue to beep and flash the LEDs until any key on the reader is pressed.

20. Press the C button (located beside the MENU button) three times – until you see the main

reading screen.

21. Turn the reader off and then back on.

22. The reader is now ready to use and will compare the RFIDs you read against the list you

uploaded.

**Note: When you upload another new list of RFIDs into the reader, in Step 6 of the above, you will need to tick the box  Current Session and then scroll back down and tick the  Session ( ) again to reactivate the reader to search

9.6 Formatting the File System

Formatting of the file system is very important to keep your reader operating at its maximum performance. Once the reader has read and stored a lot of tags eg 40000+ you may notice a slow down in its performance when storing and recalling data. This is similar to your PC when the Hard Drive gets full. When you clear the reader it doesn’t actually remove the data so you can retrieve it if you accidentally have cleared the reader. When a “Format file system” is done the data then is lost.

Formatting of the file system should be done every 2-4 months for heavy users or 4-6 months for light users. Before formatting the file system make sure you have saved any data in the reader. After formatting the data is NOT recoverable. When the reader is formatted your templates will also be cleared so note down the names and the fields in the template so you can set them up again.

9.7 How to Format your reader

Note: Read above “Formatting File System in Reader” first

Step 1 Open DataLink Step 2 Click on “Setup”. Step 3 Click on “Format file system” Step 4 Click on “OK”

Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Operational Manual

Step 5 Type in your Name and click on “OK”

Step 6 The reader will now be formatting the file system

Step 7 Click on the “OK”

Your reader is now formatted.

14.5 How to: Upload RFIDs into the Reader

The feature of uploading RFIDs into the 9060 reader is to allow you to find particular RFIDs that you need to identify. For example, if you need to find a particular animal that was treated with a certain medicinal treatment, you can upload the RFID into the reader. When you read the animal with that RFID, the reader will alert you with a long series of beeps so that you will know you have found the animal you were looking for.

To use this feature, there are two steps you will need to perform three steps:

3. Create a file to upload into the reader.

4. Upload the RFIDs into the reader.

5. Set the reader up to check each RFID you read against the RFIDs you put into the

reader.

Before starting you will need:

4. Aleis DataLink installed on your computer.

5. A working COM port – you can check this by turning your 9060 reader on, and then opening

Aleis DataLink. Down the bottom right corner of the Aleis DataLink screen, you should see that the software has connected to a particular unit.

6. A list of RFIDs that you want to put into the reader.

Step 1: Creating a file to upload into the reader.

TAG 982 000023661452 982 000016654299 982 000027909419 982 000024909416 982 000009161045 982 000024566253 982 000015883922 982 000030781909

If you are using Microsoft Excel, then simply put this in Column A, with the word TAG in Row 1.

Page 30 of 45

Aleis ISO-FFNB Series Operational Manual

Step 2: Upload the files into the reader.

9. Open up Aleis DataLink.

10. Once the software has found the reader, click on the Open button located at the left side

of the DataLink screen (there is a big yellow manilla folder on the button).

11. Find the file that you created, and click on the open button.

12. You will see that file name listed in the main screen of Aleis DataLink where the session

names and numbers are normally displayed.

13. Click on that file name.

14. Now click on the Upload button located at the left side of the DataLink screen.

15. You will be asked to enter a name. If you want to change the name, go ahead and type

in what you would like, then click on the OK button.

16. When it has been successfully uploaded, you will see at the bottom left of the DataLink

screen, the words, “Upload Complete”.

14.6 How to: Compare RFIDs in the Reader
