The device is IP66 compliant spray-water-resistant and water-repellent. Read distance to the transponder is approximately 3-4 centimetres. A correct read is indicated both acoustically and visually. The GS2000 is available as USB or serial RS232 version - integration into existing systems is made easy.

Even inexperienced personnel can set up these devices after a few step at the PC a charger is connected to the USB port of your computer - totally independent of external power supplies. Windows starts the installation automatically - you only need to enter the driver source the provided CD. After driver installation the system creates a virtual com port for data queries. Then the device is ready to use. Use the included GS2000 software monitor for configuration and protect it with a password against unauthorised use. Choose the correct COM port for your GS2000 and allocate a device ID to the terminal to distinguish it from other connected terminals. One click and you transfer all collected data to a specified directory. The transferred database consists of device ID, transponder ID, date and time. As long as no special file names are specified for the report, the files are saved under the current date. After data transmission, users have the options of automatic deletion of the data, time synchronisation, or device shutdown. Users can use a single click to display the amount of saved entries on the GS2000.

The software package includes a second software application called Guard-Tour-Utility - use it to allocate transponder IDs to names in the software e.g. ID 12345warehouse, ID 6789reception, etc.. Transponders that already have a name allocated to their ID are shown with their name instead of their ID number. On request users can use the software to compile a report on respective transponders. The memory of the GS2000 can hold over 14,300 entries. The device is powered with a C alkaline battery 1.5 V, which can last for at least 100,000 scans.
