PIT Tag Reader Synchronization, Multiplexing, & Data Logging Innovations PSMFC PIT Tag Workshop January 27 -29, 2015 - Robert Stewart, Steve Anglea, Dean Park / Biomark

The RM 310 PIT Tag Reader Module

RM 310 Reader Firmware V 3. 36 - Default PIT tag data output in “ 3. 10” hexadecimal format - Definable 2 character reader identification code - Expanded Send Unique options - FDX-B only reading mode - Virtual Timer Tag with 1 to 60 minute interval - Real Timer Tag ID detection and data formatting - Descriptive Technical Bulletin available

RM 310 Reader Deficiencies - inconvenient wiring interface - lacks time/date function - lacks data logging - lacks multiplexing capability - lacks real timer tag function

RM 310 PIT Tag Reader Innovations - - ML 401 Micro-Logger - TXTT HDX / FDX-B Timer Tags - SM 302 Synchronization/Multiplexer Module - SM 303 Antenna Multiplexer Module

ML 401 Micro-Logger Module - - Mounts “piggy-back” on RM 310 Reader - Provide stand-alone PIT Tag Recording - Screw terminal block wiring connections - Firmware V 3. 36+ data format compatible - battery-backed time/date stamp - socketed micro-SD memory card (> 4 GB) - 255 files / 10 K records per file - data files import easily into Excel - Installation/Application Guide

TXTT Timer Tag - HDX and FDX-B Tag versions available - IP 66 weather-proof enclosure - Tags are “ 999”/” 3 E 7” coded - Exposure interval selectable: 0. 5, 1, 4, or 8 hours - Exposure period selectable: 0. 125, 0. 5, or 1 second - 10 year battery life (CR 2450 coin cell) - Dies in tag cloaked mode - Compatible with all ISO type readers - Installation/Application Guide

SM 302 Sync/Mux Module - - synchronizes/multiplexes multiple RM 310 Reader modules - provides 12 outputs capable of driving up to 32 RSm 310 s each - sync mode: all 12 outputs activate in unison - mux mode: outputs activate sequentially (bridged data) - mux mode active outputs selectable 2 through 12 - mux mode interval 100 m. Sec through 1. 6 seconds - Installation/Application Guide

SM 302 Sync/Mux Module

SM 303 Antenna Multiplexer Module - Connects with one RM 310 Reader to multiplex up to 12 antennas - Works only with FDX-B PIT Tags - Fixed tuning capacitor works with 300 u. H antenna inductance - Targeted for small antenna systems - Requires RM 310 equipped with V 3. 47 Firmware - Active antennas selectable 2 through 12 - Activation interval selectable between 100 m. Sec through 1. 5 seconds - Modules can be chained together to provide additional antennas

SM 303 Antenna Multiplexer Module

SM 302 vs. SM 303 Application SM 302 + Multiple RM 310 s: - large antennas / variable inductances long antenna cables / various lengths individual antenna tuning HDX and FDX-B tag compatibility SM 303 + Single RM 310: - small uniform antennas / controlled inductances - short antenna cables / nominally same length - antenna tuning not critical - FDX-B only tag compatibility
