User's Manual

3. Using the Micro Reader
The Micro Reader performs two basic functions (depending on the application):
1) It verifies the lock/seal/tag status and provides the user with an indication as to
whether the device has been tampered with since being set.
2) It can also reset the lock/seal/tag for a new use. It also leaves a “footprint” in the
lock/seal/tag memory with the Micro Reader’s ID, identifying the specific Micro
Reader that performed a command or interrogation.
3.1 Read Command
• Approach the Data Seal / Tag as to a distance of 3-8cm and press the R button.
o In the event that the seal status is OK, Green LED will turn on and a
corresponding “beep” will sound
o In the event that the seal status has changed (opened or tampered) the
Red LED will turn on and a corresponding “beep” will sound.
NOTE: In the event that the communication between the Micro Reader and the Data
Seal/Tag failed, the Micro Reader will pause for two seconds and the Red LED will
flash three times with corresponding three fast “beeps”. Make sure to keep a
distance up to 8cm!
