The PB-30244 Panel Reader is a Trovan® radio frequency identification reader developed for livestock, pet, wildlife, and industrial applications.  Benefits include superior reading distance and accuracy, increased transponder scan coverage area, faster read speed, the ability to read in the presence of ferrous metals, and system ruggedness.

Typical users include ranchers, laboratories, research institutions, zoos, wildlife agencies, regulatory agencies, and other users which need to positively identify livestock, dogs, cats, and other large animals and track their activities and feeding habits.  The PB-30244 Panel Reader can also be used with non-implantable Trovan® transponders to obtain greater reading distances and for the RFID of inanimate objects.

The PB-30244 Panel Reader is available in a number of configurations and can be adapted to the customer's special needs.  The modular construction of the PB-30244 facilitates system installation and repair.  The reader is weatherized, including water resistance, for outdoor installations.  The reader's control assembly can also be optionally heated to provide a lower operating temperature range.
