1 – Introduction
The Mantis™ II 433.92MHz System by RF Code™ is an RFID monitoring
system designed to report Tags within defined Reader operating ranges. The
system utilizes “beacon” Tags that periodically report their presence with an
encoded radio transmission. The Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader is a dual-
channel radio receiver tuned to the Mantis™ Tag transmission frequency of
433.92MHz.
This manual provides the instructions for the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz
Reader setup and operation. This Reader has different modes of operation
and optional functions that are user-selected depending on the system’s
operational requirements.
The instructions in this manual show how to install, configure, and upgrade
the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader as well as tips on Mantis™ Tag
placement and antenna optimization. Operational instructions for the
Mantis™ II 433.92MHz System using the TAVIS™ Concentrator
