Ear tag pliers

• Most readers can read both FDX and HDX ear tags, but some readers work better (or only) with one of them
• Difference between FDX and HDX:
• FDX (Full Duplex): the exchange of information from the ear tag to the reader and from the reader to the ear tag takes place simultaneously. This means there is a constant connection through which information is sent across. The drawback of this technology is that, by comparison, the signal is weaker and its range is shorter, which requires the reader to be held closer to the transponder. The advantage is that the technology is a bit less expensive than HDX
• HDX (Half-Duplex): an HDX transponder will only send information back to the reader once the electromagnetic field has been disabled. The advantage of this technology is that, by comparison, the signal is stronger than that of FDX, which allows information to be scanned from a greater distance. The drawback is that this technology is more expensive than FDX
• Most readers can read both FDX and HDX ear tags, but some readers work better (or only) with one of them
• A code is stored in the transponder, which allows the animal to be recognised. The transponder only activates when the ear tag reader sends out an electromagnetic signal. This prevents the animal from noticing the chip itself. The signal activates the chip and the animal’s code is sent to the scanner, which identifies the animal and determines whether or not the information can be processed automatically
