Reading an EID Ear Tag
Scanning animals
Place the device near the animal identification tag to be read, then press the
green button to activate the reading mode. The screen backlight switches on
and the red light will be flashing. During the reading mode, move the reader
along the animal to scan the ear tag ID. The reading mode remains activated
during a programmed duration. If the green button is held down, the reading
mode remains activated. If the device is programmed in continuous reading
mode, the reading mode remains indefinitely activated until you press the
green button a second time.
The following picture shows the result of a successful reading session:
Item Feature
Description of use
1 Tag type
ISO standard 11784/5 has approved 2 technologies for animal identification: FDX-
B and HDX. When the reader displays the word “IND” as tag type, it means that
its tag is not coded for animals.
2 Country code / The country code is according the ISO 3166 and ISO 11784/5 (numeric format).
Manufacturer code
Manufacturer code is according to ICAR assignment.
3 First digits of ID code First digits of the identification code according the ISO 11784/5.
4 Last digits of ID code Last digits of the identification code according the ISO 11784/5. The user can
select the number of last bold digits (between 0 and 12 digits).
When a new ear tag is successfully read the green light flashes, the reader stores the ID code in its internal memory2 and the current date and time. The number of read ID codes in the current session is increased. The buzzer and the vibrator will sound and/or vibrate with every scan.
2 Depending on tag storage mode option

Note 4 Two short beeps and a short vibration mean that the reader has
previously read the tag in the current session. A beep/vibration of medium
duration means that the reader has read a new tag which has NOT been
previously read during the current session A long beep/vibration means that
there is an alert regarding the tag which has been read (see “Comparison
sessions” section for more information).
Note 5 The date and time stamp, and the sound/vibration features are options
that can be turned on or off according to your specific applications.
Note 6 – The reader can scan when the power cable is attached3.
Each time a tag is scanned, the identification code is transmitted
automatically via the USB cable, the RS-232 cable, or Bluetooth®.
Read range performances

Tips for efficient reading
Tag reader efficiency is often linked with reading distance. The device’s read
distance performance may be affected by the following factors:
Tag orientation: See Figure 2. Tag quality: It is normal to find that many
common tags from different manufacturers
have different read range performance levels. Animal movement: If the animal
moves too quickly, the tag may not be located in the
read zone long enough for the ID code information to be obtained. Tag type:
HDX and FDX-B tags generally have similar reading distances, but
environmental factors such as RF interferences may affect overall tag
performances. Nearby metal objects: Metal objects located near a tag or reader
may attenuate and
distort the magnetic fields generated in the RFID systems therefore, reducing
the reading distance. An example, an ear tag against a squeeze chute
significantly reduces the read distance. Electrical noise interference: The
operating principle of RFID tags and readers is based on electromagnetic
signals. Other electromagnetic phenomena, such as radiated electrical noise
from other RFID tag readers, or computer screens may interfere with RFID
signal transmission and reception, therefore, reducing the read distance.
Tag/reader interference: Several tags in the reception range of the reader, or
other readers that emit excitation energy close by may adversely affect reader
performance or even prevent the reader from operating. Discharged battery
pack: As the battery pack discharges, the power available to activate the
field becomes weaker, which in turn reduces the read range field.
Advanced reading features
Comparison sessions
The reader can be configured to work with a comparison session. Working with
comparison sessions allows to:
Display / Store additional data for a given ear tag (Visual ID, medical
information…). The additional data is stored in the current working session
and can be retrieved when downloading the session.

Note 15 When a tag is read twice or more, the reader will preselect the
previously validated data. If the data entry is different, a duplicate tag is
stored in the session with the new data. 11
Reading a cSenseTM or eSenseTM Flex Tags
What is an cSenseTM or eSenseTM Flex Tag?
The SCR cSenseTM or eSenseTM Flex Tag are RF tags worn by cows. They combine
rumination, heat detection and cow identification functionality to give dairy
farmers a revolutionary tool to monitor their cows in real-time, 24 hours a
day.
Each Flex Tag collects information and transmits it to the SCR system a few
times per hour via RF technology, so the information in the system is up-to-
date at all times, no matter where the cow is located.
To combine each tag with the EID tag carried on each animal, an NFC tag is
included inside the Flex Tags and can be read by the device.
(refer to SCR’s website for complementary information (www.scrdairy.com))
Scanning animals and assign Flex Tag
Before to read, select in the menu (see Menu 17 – Menu “SCR by Allflex”), the
assignment operation, then place the device close to the animal identification
ear tag to be read, then press the green button in order to activate the
reading mode. The screen backlight switches on and the red light will be
flashing. Once the EID ear tag is read, the orange light will be flashing and
message will be displaying, place the device parallel to the Flex Tag to
assign it to the EID number (see Figure 3to list all use cases).
The following picture shows the result of a successful reading session:

Connect the reader to a PC
This section is meant to describe how to connect the reader to a smartphone or
to a personal computer (PC). The device can connect in 3 ways: a wired USB
connection, a wired RS-232 connection, or by a wireless Bluetooth® connection.
Using USB interface
The USB port allows the device to send and receive data via a USB connection.
To establish a USB connection, simply connect the reader to a PC with the
data-power cable provided with the product.
Remove the protective cap covering the reader’s cable connector and guards the
reader against foreign material 1 contamination. Install the data-power cable
by engaging it into the connector and rotating the lock-ring.
2 Plug the USB extension into a USB port on your computer.
Note 34 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 tag if a sufficiently charged battery is inserted. With
a depleted battery, the reader will not be able to read a tag, but will remain
on and can only communicate with computer.
Note 35: The reader cannot read tags if there is no battery and no external
power supply. Therefore, it is not possible to read an ear tag although the
other functions are fully active.
Note 36 Install the PC software provided on the CD-ROM first in order to
preinstall USB drivers for the reader. When you will connect the reader,
Windows will automatically find the driver and install the reader properly.
Using serial interface
The serial port allows the device to send and receive data via an RS-232
connection. To establish a RS-232 connection, simply connect the reader with a
PC or a PDA with the data-power cable. 23
The RS-232 serial interface comprises a 3-wire arrangement with a DB9F
connector, and consists of transmit (TxD/pin 2), receive (RxD/pin 3), and
ground (GND/pin 5). This interface is factory configured with the default
settings of 9600 bits/second, no parity, 8 bits/1 word, and 1 stop bit
(“9600N81”). These parameters can be changed from the PC software.
Serial output data appears on the device’s TxD/pin 2 connection in ASCII
format.
Note 37 – The RS-232 interface is wired as a DCE (data communications
equipment) type that connects directly to the serial port of a PC or any other
device that is designated as a DTE (data terminal equipment) type. When the
device is connected
to other equipment that is wired as DCE (such as a PDA), a “null modem”
adapter is required in order to properly cross-wire transmit and receive
signals so that communications can occur.
Note 38 – The reader’s serial data connection can be extended using a standard
DB9M to DB9F extension cable. Extensions longer than 20 meters (~65 feet) are
not recommended for data. Extensions longer that 2 meters (~6 feet) are not
recommended for data and power.
Using Bluetooth® interface
Bluetooth® works on a premise that one end of the communication will be a
MASTER and the other a SLAVE. The MASTER initiates communications and looks
for a SLAVE device to connect to. When the reader is in SLAVE mode it can be
seen by other devices such as a PC or smartphones. Smartphones and computers
usually behave as MASTERS with the reader configured as a SLAVE device.
When the reader is configured as a MASTER it cannot be connected by other
devices. Readers are typically used in a MASTER mode configuration when it
only needs to be paired with a single device such as a scale head, PDA, or
Bluetooth printer.
The reader is equipped with a Class 16 Bluetooth® module and is compliant with
the Bluetooth® Serial Port Profile (SPP) and the Apple’s iPod® Accessory
Protocol (iAP). The connection can be in slave mode or in master mode.

Note 40 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.
6 Operating distance of communication is around 100 m (330 ft).
24
Note 41 when the Bluetooth is connected with the HID profile, the reader can
use in virtual keyboard with computer or tablet. If you are using a smartphone
or a PDA, an application is required (not supplied). Your software supplier
will explain how to connect the PDA.
Note 42 – We advise that to achieve successful Bluetooth® connection with your
reader, simply follow the implementation methods listed (see the following).
Note 43 – If these implementation methods are not followed, the connection may
become inconsistent, thus causing other reader related errors. Note 44 – When
Windows 7 installs Bluetooth® drivers, it is normal that the driver for
“Bluetooth® Peripheral Device” is not found (see picture below). Windows
cannot install this driver because it corresponds to Apple iAP service needed
to connect with iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). For reader to PC connection, only
“Standard Serial over Bluetooth link” is needed.
Bluetooth® Known Successful Methods
There are 2 scenarios to correctly implement the Bluetooth® connection. They
are as follows: 1. Reader to a Bluetooth® adapter connected to a PC, or to a
Bluetooth® enabled PC or PDA. 2. Reader to a Bluetooth® adapter connected to a
scale head, or to a Bluetooth® enabled device, such as scale head or printer.
These options are discussed in further details below.
25
Reader to a Bluetooth® adapter connected to a PC, or to a Bluetooth® enabled
PC or PDA
This scenario requires that a process called « Pairing » be undertaken. On the
reader, go to the menu “Bluetooth”, and then select “slave” in the sub-menu
“select device” to remove the previous pairing and allow the reader to return
to SLAVE mode.
Start your PC Bluetooth® Manager program or PDA Bluetooth® services,
Depending on which Bluetooth device your PC is using the Bluetooth Manager may
vary in how it pairs a device. As a general rule the program should have the
option to “Add a Device” or “Discover a Device”.
With the reader turned on, select one of these options. The Bluetooth® program should open a window within one minute showing all Bluetooth enabled devices in the area. Click on the device (the reader) you want to connect to and follow the steps provided by the program.
RS430
26
The program may ask you to provide a “Pass Key” for the device. As noted in
the following example, select the option “Let me choose my own passkey”. The
default passkey for the reader is:
1234
The program will assign 2 communication ports for the reader. Most
applications will use the outgoing port. Make note of this port number for use
when connecting to a software program If this fails use the following links,
search the reader in the peripheral list and connect it. You have to add an
outgoing port that makes a connection to the device. Follow the steps
described in the links below. For Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883259/en-us For Windows 7:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Connect-to-Bluetoothand-other-
wireless-or-network-devices
Reader to a Bluetooth® adapter connected to a scale head, or to a Bluetooth®
enabled device, such as scale head or printer.
This scenario requires that the reader lists the Bluetooth® peripherals. Go to
the menu “Bluetooth”, then the sub-menu “Select device” and select “Search new
device…”. This will start the Bluetooth® scanning. The device you want to
connect to will be displayed on the reader. Use the green button to scroll to
the desired device. Select the device by depressing the black button on the
reader. The reader will now connect in MASTER mode.
Note 45 – Sometimes, the Bluetooth® authentication have to be enabled/disabled
on the reader to establish the connection with a remote device. See Menu 6 to
switch authentication on/off.
Note 46 Your reader can connect to iPhone and iPad (Follow instruction
above).
27
Connect the reader to an USB flash drive
USB adapter (ref. E88VE015) allows you to connect to an USB Flash Drive
(Formatted in FAT). With this equipment, you can import and/or export sessions
(see Note 26). The imported sessions must be a text file, named “tag.txt”. The
first line of the file must be either EID or RFID or TAG. The format of the
ear tag numbers must be 15 or 16 digits (999000012345678 or 999 000012345678)
Example of file “tag.txt”: EID 999000012345601 999000012345602 999000012345603
Power Management
The RS430NFC uses a 7.3VDC 2850mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack, which
serves as its primary power source. This feature adds hours of scans with a
fully charged battery.
Alternately, the reader can be powered and used indoors from its AC Adapter (see references in Table 1). Once the external AC adapter is connected, the reader is powered-up, it will remain on until the AC adapter is disconnected, and the Battery Pack is charged. The reader can be powered regardless of the charge state of the Battery Pack. The AC Adapter can be used as a power source7 even if the Battery Pack has been removed from the device. If the AC Adapter has been connected, the user may proceed with configuration and performance testing while the Battery Pack is charging. This configuration could affect reading performances.
At the top of the screen, the icon of the battery level shows the discharge level as well as the charge level during the charge mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING
EAR TAG NOT DETECTED: Verify that RS430NFC is able to read test ear tag
provided on key chain. Confirm that scanning is being performed away from
metal objects and computer equipment, including metal collars and metal tags
and away from stainless steel table. Scan animal following patterns on page 8,
with slow. If the animal moves too quickly, the ear tag may not be located in
the reading zone long enough for the ID code information to be obtained.
Replace batteries if power is weak, as it might not be sufficient to activate
the field and reading distances can be reduced.
EAR TAG IS FOUND BUT NOT STORED IN MEMORY. Verify scanner reads test ear tag
Verify Memory is enabled.
CANNOT DOWNLOAD MEMORY: Make sure memory is enabled in reader settings.
READER DOES NOT START: Verify batteries have been installed correctly and have
full charge.
LOW BATTERIES: If reader displays “Low battery” with rechargeable cells:
Recharge the batteries
