PIT Tag Reader Reliable Scanner for FDX-B and HDX PIT Tags

A PIT tag reader (also known as a PIT tag scanner) is a specialized RFID device used to read the unique identification codes stored inside PIT tags implanted in fish, wildlife, or laboratory animals.
At DO RFID TAG Manufacturer, we provide a complete range of PIT tag readers compatible with both FDX-B and HDX technology, suitable for research, aquaculture, and industrial applications.

How Does a PIT Tag Reader Work

A PIT tag reader generates a low-frequency electromagnetic field that powers the passive transponder (the PIT tag).
When activated, the tag sends its unique ID number back to the reader, which then displays or transmits the data to a computer or management system.

Our readers are designed to deliver stable, high-accuracy performance even in demanding environments such as fish hatcheries, river monitoring stations, and outdoor research sites.

Types of PIT Tag Readers

1. Handheld PIT Tag Reader:
   Lightweight and battery-powered, ideal for fieldwork and quick animal scanning.
   It allows users to read tags directly after implantation or during recapture.

2. Fixed PIT Tag Reader:
   Installed in fish ladders, tanks, or passageways to automatically record fish movements.
   Often used with loop or flat-panel antennas for continuous monitoring.

3. Custom RFID Reader Solutions:
   Designed for integration into existing monitoring systems or laboratory setups.
   Support for RS232, RS485, Wiegand, and TCP/IP communication protocols.

Each reader supports both 125 kHz and 134.2 kHz frequencies and is compatible with all standard ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B PIT tags.

Key Features of DO RFID TAG PIT Tag Readers

• Compatible with both FDX-B and HDX transponders.

• Reading range up to 30 cm (handheld) or 100 cm (fixed with large antenna).

• Built-in memory for offline data storage and USB/HID data transfer.

• Rugged and waterproof casing for field environments.

• Optional Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Our readers undergo strict calibration to ensure accurate readings and low data error rates in all applications.

Applications of PIT Tag Readers

• Fish Tagging and Monitoring: Detect and record tagged fish passing through antenna arrays.

• Wildlife Research: Identify and track tagged amphibians, reptiles, or mammals.

• Aquaculture Management: Streamline feeding, breeding, and health monitoring operations.

• Veterinary and Laboratory Use: Identify experimental animals for research data accuracy.

PIT tag readers can be used as standalone devices or integrated into automated monitoring systems to capture thousands of tag readings daily.
