1 Getting Started Introduction The Shearwell X6 reader (SDL330) is a Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) device. It is designed and manufactured by Shearwell Data Ltd, the market leader for cattle and sheep tags in the United Kingdom. The device is designed to read animal electronic identification (EID) tags in compliance with the international standards ISO 11784 and ISO 11785, which regulates the RFID of animals.
Safety Notice → The user should never operate the device in proximity (less than 20cm) to the head/torso → Point the reader away from the body when using. → Do not allow the reader to be submerged in water. → Store the reader in a dry place. → If needed, the reader may be cleaned using a damp cloth. → There are no serviceable parts inside the Shearwell X6 reader. o Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the reader.
CAUTION - Under Industry Canada regulations, the SDL330’s radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain has been chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (E.I.R.P.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
2 Installation The Shearwell X6 reader is designed to be affixed to a Handheld Nautiz X6, via two screws located either side of the connection pins on the lower part of the casing. The casing must be opened in order to access these screws. CAUTION - To attach the Shearwell X6 Reader, please follow these instructions carefully. Failure to do so could result in irreparable damage to the circuitry. Shearwell Data Limited is not responsible for any damages caused by the user during installation. 1.
