Gallagher EID Tag Reader Controller BR

The Gallagher EID Tag Reader Controller BR: Hands Free EID Data Collection Made Simple

If you want to capture EID tag data automatically as animals move through your weighing crate or race without anyone standing there with a handheld reader, the Gallagher EID Tag Reader Controller BR is built for exactly that. It powers a connected EID Antenna Panel, sends EID numbers wirelessly to your weigh scale via Bluetooth, and stores up to 20,000 tags in its internal memory. With a rechargeable internal battery that runs for up to 8 hours, it gives you a full day of hands free EID reading without needing to stop and recharge mid session.

How the Gallagher EID Tag Reader Controller BR Connects to Your Weighing Setup

The Bluetooth connectivity makes linking to your weigh scale straightforward. EID numbers are sent wirelessly straight to your connected EID enabled weigh scale, where they get linked to animal weights automatically so you can track individual animal performance over time without any manual data entry. For operations running a weigh scale without Bluetooth capability, an adaptor is included in the kit so you're not locked out of the functionality just because your existing scale is an older model. The controller is compatible with EID Tag Reader Antenna Panels and also works with the Gallagher Sheep Auto Drafter, giving you flexibility in how and where you use it across the property.

Practical Features That Make the Job Easier With the Gallagher EID Tag Reader Controller BR

The built-in tag counter stores up to 20,000 tags in internal memory, which is more than enough capacity for even large scale operations running big mobs through the yards. A beep sounds for every successful tag read so you get immediate confirmation that each animal has been captured without having to watch a screen constantly. The battery charge level indicator keeps you informed of how much power you've got left so there are no surprises halfway through a session. When the controller needs charging or you're moving between different weighing yards, it's easily removed from its mounting point for convenient charging, secure storage, or transfer to a different location.

Built Tough and Easy to Install With the Gallagher EID Tag Reader Controller BR

The fully sealed waterproof construction is built to handle the harshest farming environments, so dust, rain, and the general conditions of a working yard aren't going to cause any issues. Simply mount the controller and connect it to your EID Antenna Panel to get started. The kit comes complete with a battery charger, 12 volt battery leads, communications cable, USB communications cable, and user manual so everything you need is included out of the box. Compatible with both half duplex HDX and full duplex FDX-B ISO EID ear tags, it works with whatever tagging system you're already running on your property.
