Micro SD Card

!IMPORTANT! It is critical to leave the card in the reader at all times DURING OPERATION so that the reader will function properly. The micro SD card should not be removed from the reader unless it is faulty, or for fault finding purposes. The reader will function without the micro SD card installed but will use default values that may not work for your configuration.

The micro SD storage card stores the reader configuration, log files and tag read data. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO EJECT IT if you want to download data.

The micro SD card also stores a file called config.ini which contains customisable configuration settings for your reader. Please refer to the section entitled “CONFIGURATION OPTIONS” for more information on customising your reader’s configuration. It is advised you don’t modify this file unless you have a full understanding of what these configuration options actually do.

SD Card layout

The indicator just above the SD Card slot has three possible states:
RED/ORANGE Micro SD card not inserted or Problem with micro SD card. Try checking the SD card using a computer & USB card reader. Also check the format, see below.
GREEN Micro SD Card inserted correctly and is working OK

File system format

The reader supports SD and SDHC cards formatted as FAT and also FAT32.
SDXC (larger than 32GB) cards are not supported.
File systems other than FAT and FAT32 are not supported.
To check the format in Microsoft Windows, right click on the SD card drive and select properties. The format is listed next to “File System:” on the properties window.

!IMPORTANT! If you must remove the micro SD card ALWAYS do so with the reader power turned OFF. Failure to do this may corrupt or damage the micro SD card.

!IMPORTANT! When re-inserting the micro SD card do so in a vertical direction only. Inserting the micro SD card on an angle may cause the micro SD card to miss the internal micro SD-card slot and fall into the reader.
