This generation of Tamperproof EID Button Tag is ISO compliant and has a unique design that provides the ultimate in usability, security and retention. The single use ear tag features a ridged plastic design with a Tamperproof cap. Transponder numbers are laser marked in a circular format on the edge of the tag.

Reusable EID tags can be reused to lower the per animal cost of EID. They are also ISO compliant.

Full Duplex Technology (FDX) is utilized with the Lightweight EID tag. FDX is a design priciple whereby the return signal initiates as soon as the beginning of the interrogation signal is received and the smoothing capacitor in the transponder has been charged. The return signal is received repetitively and without interruption for as long as a continuous interrogation signal is maintained. A FDX Transponder doesn't have to store energy to be able to return its entire data signal.

HDX (Half Duplex) tags feature a tamperproof design that provides the ultimate in usability, security and retention and are also ISO compliant. HDX technology optimizes signal transmission and provides the greatest read distance. HDX technology may be beneficial to the system if used in packing plants, automated reading systems, or with a walk-through reader.

Construction
The tamperproof tag is injection molded Polyurethane female with a plastic injection molded tamperproof cap. The hard cap of the tag provides the highest degree of security available, as any attempt to remove the male tag from the female would cause the tag components to break, rendering them unusable.

Application
Allflex EID tags are applied with the Red Universal Total Tagger or the Ultra Retract-O-Matic tagger.
To apply with the Total Tagger, the Red Blunt Applicator pin must be installed and the Black or White insert must be removed.
Extended small males are used on cattle and swine for placement in a deeper location in the ear, while standard small males are used for the sheep and goat tags.
