1Description

AFX-110 is a universal portable reader for RFID microchips with the purpose of identifying animals.

The device can read a wide range of technologies: FDX-B ISO, HDX ISO, FDX-A (FECAVA), Trovan and Avid

Encrypted. AFX-110 can also read and display the Microchip Temperature when reading microchips with

temperature sensing implants from Allflex or Destron Fearing.

In addition to its microchip reading functions, the AFX-110 scanner can store up to 3000 IDs, each associated

with a time/date stamp in its internal memory and transmit them to a personal computer via an USB cable

or wirelessly using Bluetooth®.

3Operation and settings

3.1 Getting Started

AFX-110 comes supplied with six AAA rechargeable NiMH battery pack (7.2 V / 750mAh) which must

be fully charged prior to use, as diagram below (step 1 through 5).

Remove retention screw located on center of

back of the reader.

Connect the battery pack to the connector.

Replace lid and screw.

Attach the power cord in the reader.

Plug the adaptor into power outlet. The battery level icon

will flash while

charging and stop flashing when fully charged. A full charge

may take 3.5 hours.

3.2 Battery handling instructions

Please read and follow the handling instructions for the battery before use. Improper use of the battery

may cause heat, fire, rupture, damage or capacity deterioration of the battery.

Caution

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES

ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Warning

Use rechargeable batteries with the same capacity.

Do not use this reader near water when connected to the AC/DC adapter.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

that produce heat.

Do not charge the battery pack from AC main sources during electrical storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

The batteries must be charged indoors only, at temperature between 0° and +35°C.

For best battery performance, charge unit at least every three months, if reader is unused.

Notice

Use the adapter (AC Input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.4A; DC Output: 12.0V, 0.58A) provided with the

reader to charge the batteries.

3.3 Power on / off instructions

To turn the AFX-110 on, press and release one button once. During this start up time the reader will

display the screen below and beep once.

Note 1 - Once activated, the reader will stay on for 2 minutes by default.

3.4 Reading an implanted microchip

3.4.1 Scanning and locating an implanted microchip

When searching implantable microchips, place the reader so it touches the animal.

Use the following scanning patterns to locate the microchip. Perform pattern 1 and 2 on Left, Top and

Right sides of animal’s neck and shoulders, as microchip placement might vary per animal.

For Pets

For other species

Keep scanner touching animal and scan slowly following

patterns below:

Keep scanner touching animal over

standard location for particular species.

While pressing the SCANNING button, the reader will display the screen below, until a microchip is

found or until a 20-second elapse after the button release.

If a microchip is not detected, the reader will display “ID not found”. In that case, we recommend re-

scanning the test chip to ensure reader is operating properly. The animal, then should be re-scanned,

moving slower and in varying angle according to the patterns described above.

The following pictures show the result of a successful reading session:

Note 2 –If a microchip was found and the reader is connected via its USB interface or its Bluetooth®

interface to a host computer, it will send the microchip number to the host computer.

3.4.2 Read range performances

The figure below (Figure 3) illustrates the reading zone of the reader, within which microchips can be

successfully read. Optimum read distance occurs depending upon the orientation of the microchip.

Microchips are best detected when positioned as shown below.

Figure 3 - Optimum Read Distance Microchip Orientation (position 1, 2, 3 and 4)

Typical read distances will vary when reading different types of microchips

3.5 Tones

The scanner displays the icon when the beeper is enabled. To activate the option, enable it in

the menu “general settings”

The scanner has distinct beep tones for different functions: after starting-up, when scan button is

pushed, when scan button is released, when microchip is found, or during low battery condition.

3.6 Vibrations

The scanner displays the icon when the vibration mode is enabled. To activate the option, enable

it in the menu “general settings”

3.7 Date/Time

The scanner provides a Time Stamping Function that inserts the date and the time for each ID number

into the list of ID numbers stored.

The user can configure the date/time format, the date and the time through the menu or through

communication interface (USB or Bluetooth® port).

4Installing Software

The AFX-110 is supplied with the AFX-100/AFX-110 Software. AFX-100/AFX-110 Software provides the

following capabilities:

Change reader settings.

Configure a Bluetooth® connection with a remote device.

Download reader memory and export animal ID’s to Excel.

Use your reader as a virtual keyboard.

Update your reader firmware.

4.1 System requirements

5Connecting to a PC

5.1 Using USB interface

Open the AFX-100/AFX-110 Software and connect the reader to a

PC with the USB

cable by removing the USB port cover and attaching the cable to

the AFX-110 connector. Install the USB cable by attaching it to AFX-

110.

Plug the other extremity of the USB cable into a USB port on your

computer. When reader is connected, Windows will automatically

find the driver and install the reader properly.

The reader vibrates (if vibration mode enabled) and an USB icon is

displayed on screen

Note 3 –Once the USB cable is connected, the reader is automatically powered on and it will

remain activated until the cable is disconnected. The reader will be able to read a microchip if

sufficiently charged batteries are inserted. With depleted batteries, the reader will not be able to

read a microchip, but will remain on with other functions fully active.

Note 4: If a microchip was detected and the reader is connected via its USB interface or its

Bluetooth® interface to a host computer, it will send the microchip number to the host computer.

5.2 Using wireless Bluetooth®connection

5.2.1 BLUETOOTH® management

The AFX-110 is equipped with a Class 2

Bluetooth® module to communicate. This device is compliant

with the Bluetooth® Serial Port Profile (SPP).

Enable the Bluetooth® feature by using the “AFX-100/AFX-110 Software”or by using the menu

“Bluetooth settings”.

Bluetooth® works on a premise that one end of the communication will be paired to the other one. A

host initiates communications and looks for other devices to connect. Smart phones and computers

usually establish the connection with readers which are connectable and discoverable.

Note 5 –Understanding the Bluetooth®icon:

Note 6 –A single beep is emitted with a visual message when the Bluetooth®connection is

established. Three beeps are emitted with a visual message when the disconnection occurs.

Note 7 –If you are using a Smartphone, an application is required (not supplied).

5.2.2 Pairing from AFX-100/AFX-110 Software

AFX-100/AFX-110 Software is able to search for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and pair to

one of them. The target here is to find your reader and to connect it to your computer by

Bluetooth.

NOTE:

Before continuing, make sure the Bluetooth is enabled on your reader.

1. Click on “Connect” menu and select “Connect Bluetooth Reader…”

Operating distance of communication is around 15 m (49 ft).
