2 Operation
2.1 Switch on/off the GES3S
Use your thumb to press the ON button, which is located on the upper center of the panel. The display shows the following start-up figure:
Under Datamars logo, the bootloader version is displayed on the left, the firmware version on the right. After a few seconds the main screen shot appears:
1. Check the battery level before using the device.
2. Bluetooth indicator: white = Bluetooth module on, green = Bluetooth connection established and ready to use. Hold the button for more than 1 second to enable the
Bluetooth module.
3. Stick antenna indicator: when “S” is showed on the display header, a Stick antenna is connected and ready to use.
4. The “W” is displayed when the CONFIGURATION/ISO 24631-2 variable is set to ON and
when another reader is detected by the GES3S in the surrounding. If the ‘W’ is displayed
and no reader is nearby that means that the surrounding noise is too high to permit reliable readings.
5. Date format can be selected between EU/US/TIMESTAMP.
6. Clock time is in 24 hour mode.
7. Press Menu to enter the Menu features.
8. Press Read to start a single read.
9. Press Session to enter the Control menu.
After a period of non-use the device turns automatically in “pause mode”, which means the backlight of the display turns down, the screen is “frozen” and the keyboard is disabled. In order to “unlock” your reader, please press the ON button. In order to manually switch off the reader, keep pushing the ON button for about 2 seconds or select the Shutdown function in the main menu. The reader has also an automatic shutdown function activated after a period of non-use.

5. EIC Counter
2.2 Read a transponder
Place the GES3S near the animal, then press the ON button
To stop the reading mode press the ON button again. The following figure shows the result of a successful read:
1. There are two types of transponder: FDX-B and HDX, which are the ISO standard 11784/5.
2. The Alpha country code is according to ISO 3166, ISO 11784/5.
3. The Identity Code number is according to ISO 11784/5.
4. Crotal ID Code. It’s usually the lasered number that’s on the tag. It’s useful when the electronic identification code and the lasered number are different.
5. EIC counter. It’s incremented each time a new EIC is read. It’s reset whether by pressing the ‘RESET’ button or by starting a new procedure.
The following figure shows the result of an unsuccessful read:
All the EID tags read with the GES3S are stored in session files by default to make sure that no data is lost. A session file is created once a day and the saved information are composed as follows: [TAG/EID|DATE|TIME] The session files are organized in the SD card file “session” and are organized by year and month.

3 Managing the menu
3.1 Find your way in the menu
Switch on the reader by pressing the ON button . Press the MENU button which is the upper left button on the keypad.
The display shows the following figure:
You can scroll through the menu by pressing the UP or DOWN which are the contextual keys on the right and on the left of the ON button. The arrows located on the right of the display means that this menu contains a sub menu. In order to enter a sub menu, you have to press the ON button while it is highlighted.
Generally the ON button is used to select and confirm the changes made through the parameters of the menu. While the menu is selected, the button is used to cancel the
changes and go back to a previous menu level to exit the main menu.
Input via multiple-choice: highlight the configuration field to be edited (left picture above) and press SELECT. The chosen field becomes bold (right picture above). At this point, press UP/DOWN to scroll along the predefined allowed values. Confirm the new value by pressing SAVE.
GES3S Manual – v. 1.5 June 2013 7
Free-Input: highlight the configuration field to be edited (left picture above) and press SELECT. The chosen field becomes bold (right picture above). At this point, press the keys on the keyboard to write the new value. If the new input value is not allowed, the device refuses it and prompts an error message with some hints.
Preformatted-Input: the example shows the preformatted input-method. The value to be edited is made of more components (ex.: the first part is DAY, the second is MONTH and the third is YEAR) separated the one from the others by fixed special characters (ex.: the slash). Press LEFT/RIGHT to position the cursor and use keys of the keyboard to edit the value. Confirm the new value by pressing OK. If the new input value is not allowed, the device refuses it and prompts an error message with some hints.
3.2 Language
This menu allows you to select the language on your device.
3.3 Configuration
The Configuration menu allows you to manage all the Livestock-related options. There are various features in the Configuration menu.
3.3.1 Reading Timeout
The Reading timeout feature defines the maximum period while the reader has to stay in reading mode.
3.3.2 ISO 24631-2
The ISO 24631-2 feature allows enabling a standard ISO or a customized reading session (timing).
GES3S Manual – v. 1.5 June 2013 8
3.3.3 EIC/CIC Format
The EIC/CIC format menu defines how the transponder number is saved in memory or sent over Bluetooth. It has no impact on the way the EIC is displayed in the reader screen.
3.3.3.1 EIC format
Allows five different EIC download formats to be defined:
• ISO Long (default):
- Animal: "A0000000964000000123456" (23 char)
- Industrial = "R00060000000000123456" (21 char)
• ISO Short:
- Animal: "964 000000123456" (16 char)
- Industrial: "0006 0000000000123456" (21 char)
• ISO Tiris (Texas Instruments):

3.3.3.2 Use retagging counter
The Use retagging counter feature enables the possibility to discriminate two identical EIC but with different retagging counter. When this feature is off the retagging counter is not considered.
3.3.3.3 Ask CIC
The Ask CIC feature allows the reader to input a CIC when a new EIC is read.
3.3.3.4 Duplicate CIC allowed
The Duplicate CIC allowed feature allows you to insert several equivalences with the same CIC in a single equivalence file.
GES3S Manual – v. 1.5 June 2013 10
3.3.3.5 Buzzer duplicate CIC
The Buzzer duplicate CIC feature makes an alert sound when an already recorded CIC is inserted as new equivalence.
3.3.4 Procedure
The Procedure menu allows you to select the definition file which is going to be used with the reader. The procedure file selected defines which kind of job you intend to do (e.g.: milking, parturition, etc.).
A procedure is a file stored in the SD card containing a set of pre-defined questions. Different procedure-files contain different sets of questions.
The reader can have several procedure-files but only one is active at a given time (current procedure-file). The current procedure-file is selected by the user.
To select the current procedure file, select Procedure in the Configuration menu, the device displays the name of the current procedure-file.
1. To change the procedure file, press MODIFY.
2. Chose the your procedure file from the list, than press SEL.LINE.
3. Press Exit to go back to menu.
1. 2. 3.
3.3.5 Session
The Session menu allows you to manage the reading session files. A Reading Session is a file stored in the SD card containing the answers to the related procedure file (questions).
The name of a reading session file is composed by the name of its procedure-file and the creation-timestamp appended at the end.
GES3S Manual – v. 1.5 June 2013 11
After having selected the current procedure-file, the user can create a new reading session file or can select an existing one. When a new reading session is created, it becomes automatically the current reading session file.
3.3.5.1 Continue
The Continue feature is used to continue working with the current reading session file. If no reading session file has been selected (i.e. when the reader has just been turned on), the
device prompts the following screen:
To create a new control file, please refer to instructions in the following chapter.
3.3.5.2 New
To select the current reading session file, select Reading Session in the Configuration menu, then select New, the device displays the name of the current procedure file.
If the current file is the right one, press OK, otherwise:
1. To change the procedure file, press MODIFY.
2. Chose the desired procedure file from the list, than press SEL.LINE.
3. Press OK to confirm the selected procedure.
