OMNI MAX - User Guide

1 Introduction

This guide will help you use the OMNI MAX Scanner to identify pets. An overview of the basic functions and

settings is provided.

1.1 A Description of the OMNI MAX Universal Scanner

OMNI MAX is the newest, portable, universal reader from Datamars with the strongest feature-set of any

microchip reader available, making it a perfect fit for animal identification in any environment.

OMNI MAX is able to read FDX-B (ISO), FDX-A/FECAVA, Trovan, and either HDX ISO or Avid encrypted,

depending on the reader version. From puppies and kittens to seniors, from pocket pets to horses, indoors

and outdoors – OMNI MAX delivers the identification you need.

OMNI MAX has an innovative antenna that runs along the full perimeter of the reader, greatly increasing the

read field for fast and easy scanning. This larger, wider read field improves the read distance and time –

which are critical to making an identification. With OMNI MAX, Datamars delivers the most modern available

technology to ensure the fastest possible microchip ID with every read.

Connect OMNI MAX to your computer via USB or optional Bluetooth wireless. The keyboard wedge allows

microchip IDs to be transmitted directly to your computer, tablet or smartphone and any other Windows or

Mac compatible application as if typed by a keyboard, eliminating the possibility of transcription errors.

Communication with your computer, as well as updating the scanner firmware can be managed through the

S-ID software tool, available for download at www.datamars.com.

OMNI MAX improves the speed and reliability of animal ID for veterinarians, shelters, and animal control

officers around the world. OMNI MAX is delivered in a practical carrier box, including quick start guide, USB

cable and power supply.

Effective Scanning

OMNI MAX - User Guide

■Hold the scanner close to, or touching the animal

■Scan slowly and repeatedly over the entire body to ensure whether or not a microchip is present

■Wave the scanner back and forth lightly while scanning, because microchips can be in various orientations

within the animal

■Scan first in a horizontal, then a vertical “S” pattern down the animal’s body, as shown in the diagram

below

■Consider scanning each animal more than once to ensure any present microchip can be localized by the

scanner
