1 Introduction
The ARE H5 is a hand held, high performance reader especially designed for animal identification. It can read the data content of several transponder systems, store these data in its memory and transfer them into a PC at a later stage.
This multi mode reader is capable to read the following transponder types, according to ISO 11784/11785:
• FDX-B
• HDX
• Destron
• Datamars
• Trovan
• ASK 64bit Manchester coding (e.g. transponder equipped with the EM chip 4102).
The ARE H5 does not synchronize with other HDX readers operating in close vicinity.
Before the initial use of this ARE H5 reader please study this manual carefully. It will explain the dif­ferent features and modes, in order to make optimum use of all the capabilities of the system.
2 Overview
The present manual is structured in the following way:
chapter 2.1 the control elements are described chapter 3 contains a short form operating instruction for a quick test chapter 4 describes in detail the features and operating modes of the ARE H5 chapter 5 the different menus are explained chapter 6 give the interaction of the ARE H5 with an external data base chapter 7 technical data, specifications and safety instructions

3 Short Form Operating Instruction
3.1 Installation of the battery
Slide the battery into its compartment until it clicks ((8) in Figure 2-1). Type of battery: Li-Ion BP608 (AEG ID Order-NR. 70178).
Caution: Do use batteries Type Li-ion BP 608 only. The reader may be damaged by using batter-

ies which are not suitable. To charge the battery, remove it carefully from its compartment and plug it into the appropriate charger.
Respect the dangers and follow the safety instructions about the proper use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
3.2 Power on / off
The reader is switched on by pressing the main but­ton ((1) in Figure 2-1). It is now in the Stand-by mode. It will switch off again automatically, if no other but­tons has been pressed within timeout.
3.3 Reading a transponder
• In the Stand-by mode: press the main button.
In the power off mode: press the main button twice.
• Now the reader starts the reading mode. The
display shows: Scanning....
• Approach a transponder with the reader1.
The reader emits a beep when the tran­sponder has been read successfully. The transponder code is shown on the display.
• If, no transponder has been read within 5 s,
the reader terminates the reading mode and goes back to stand-by. The display shows: “ --- No Tag --- ”

3.4 Database
When a reading had been accomplished successfully - i.e. it had been performed within the given time frame - the database will be checked whether this transponder code is already stored.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------7/31--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Typical reading distances are given in chapter 7.1
• If the new code is not found in the database, it will be stored as a new record. This record is com-
posed of the code, the transponder type, time and date, as well as an attribute. The attribute may be selected from the 26 capital letters A to Z.
• If the new code is already stored in the database, it will be stored again only, when the attribute
(see chapter 5.1) differs from that of the old record.
• If the new code is already stored in the database with the very same attribute, no new record will
be stored. In this case the reader emits 2 successive beeps.

4 Detailed description of the operating modes
4.1 Stand-By mode
Pressing the main button once puts the reader into the stand-by mode. Starting from this mode, it can be transferred - either into the reading mode - or into the sub menus. These sub menus allow to change the specific settings of the reader. Furthermore, the result of the last reading or the actual date and time can be displayed in the stand-by mode. This is achieved by pressing the buttons "arrow left" and "arrow right".
In order to save battery power, the reader shuts down automatically if no button has been pressed within 10 s. The automatic shutdown is effective in the "Standard mode" and the "Online mode", how­ever not in the "Database mode".
4.2 Standard mode
The reader is set to the "Standard mode" when it is shipped from the factory. This mode allows read­ing of different types of transponders and the code is shown in the display. At the same time the code of each successfully read transponder is stored in the built in memory. This memory may be operated in two different settings, as described in chapter 4.5 in detail. In the "Standard mode" the reader shuts down after a certain period automatically, in order to save battery power.
4.3 Start reading
From the Stand-by mode the reading cycle is initiated by pressing the blue main button. After that the display shows in its upper line the number of data records already stored; in its lower line the status
message: Scanning.... The reader now tries to read a transponder within the next 5s.
The reader emits a beep, as soon as the transponder code has been read. As a result, the code is shown on the display. If within a time interval of 5s no transponder could be read, the reader switches off the reading cycle and returns to Stand-by. On the display appears: “ --- No Tag --- ”.
Note: If the battery is low and has not sufficient power the contrast of the display will fail especially during the scan process. It is recommended to have a second battery in reserve.
4.4 Data storage
In the initial setting -ex works- the reader stores the data records in the following way:
Whenever a transponder code has been read, the entire memory will be checked whether this data rec­ord has been stored already. If this is not the case, the record will be added to the database. The read­er emits a single beep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------9/31--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The record in the database contains the code as well as type of transponder (e.g. FDX, HDX, Datamars, trovan), time and date of the reading and the so called attribute (see chapter 5.1).
If the newly determined code is already stored in the data base a new record will be generated only if the attribute is different.
In case code and attribute are already stored in the data base, no new record is generated or stored and the reader emits 2 successive beeps.
However, in the operating "database mode" (see chapter 5.2.5) the following function can be activat­ed as an alternative:
Each successful reading is stored in the database, including transponder type, time and date, as well as the attribute. This is independent whether this record has been stored before or not (see chapter 6).
4.5 Built in memory
The built in memory has a capacity of 2047 data records. As an option the memory can be upgraded for 3967 data records (Option -M).
The stored data will be preserved when the reader is switched off and even when the battery is changed.
If the memory is full completely, the oldest set of 128 data records will be erased and overwritten by the new records.
The memory can be cleared completely by applying the menu "clear memory" (see chapter 5.7).
4.6 Display of Accumulator Capacity
The hand held reader has no direct display function for the accumulator capacity. An insufficient ac­cumulator capacity can be recognized by a obvious decreasing contrast of the display. To this point of time the reading range is reduced to not more then 10% versus a full accumulator.
