1 Introduction
The ARE H9 HF is a RFID Pocket Reader designed to read passive transponders. It has the ability to store the transponder codes in its internal database. This Pocket Reader is equipped with a USB interface and optional Bluetooth or RS232 interface, which allows transmitting single transponder codes or its entire database to a computer.
The ARE H9 HF is capable to read the following transponder types:
ISO 14443A
ISO 15693
Before the initial use of this ARE H9 HF reader please study this manual carefully.

3.2 Power on/off
The Pocket Reader is switched on by pressing the main button for 0,5s (default). The reader starts in reading mode.
The ARE H9 HF will switch off automatically after 20s (default) when no button has been pressed within this time.
3.3 Reading a transponder in standard mode
Press the main button to start the reading process.
The ARE H9 HF starts the reading process and the display shows:
actual
count
0 of 2016
Scanning Nr. 1
Approach a transponder within the readers reading range.
The reader emits a beep when the transponder has been read successfully, and the transponder code is shown on the display:
maximum
count
4E779B90 ISO-14443A
In case no transponder has been read within the given time frame, the reader stops its reading process and the display shows:
--- No Tag ---
For further reading processes release the main button and press it again for each attempt.
4 Reading range
The reading range and distance depends on the antenna type of the reading device, the transponder, its packaging and orientation to the reader. The ARE H9 HF is available ether with air coil antenna or ferrite antenna. It is not possible to read two or more transponders at the same time.
4.1 Orientation with air coil antenna
The following diagram shows the typical area where a card transponder should be read:
4.2 Orientation with ferrite antenna
The following diagram shows the typical area where a card transponder should be read:
5 Database
When a reading had been accomplished successfully, in the standard operating mode, the ARE H9 HF internal database will be checked whether this transponder code is already stored. If the new code, in combination with the attribute, is not found in the database, it will be stored as a new record. This record is composed of the ID-code, the transponder type and the selected attribute. With the optional real time clock module date and time of reading will be also stored. If the new code is already stored in the database, it will be not stored again. In this case the reader emits 2 successive beeps. The database is capable to store up to 2016 transponder codes. When the maximum of the storage is reached no further new code is stored. To store new codes in this case the database has to be erased. On Power Loss the ARE H9 HF will keep its database data. The database of the ARE H9 HF with all its actual records could be transmitted to a PC. This is done in the Database/USB mode.

6 Menu functions
6.1 Navigating trought the menu function
By pressing the menu button it can be chosen between the different menu functions. If the menu button is pressed again the ARE H9 HF cyclic changes to the next menu function.
Inside a menu function the setting for the function could be changed with the arrow buttons.
With the main button the actual menu function setting is selected and the ARE H9 HF changes back to the transponder reading mode.

6.3 Set Attribute
With “Set Attribute” one of 27 attributes could be selected for the next read transponder.
The selection is done by the left/right arrow buttons and confirmed by pressing the main button.
Set Attribute #
In standard read mode this selected attribute will be stored together with the transponder ID-code of the next read transponder in the internal database of the ARE H9 HF.
Example of Transponder-ID with no attribute:
ID
4C8C8415 ISO-14443A #
type of transponder
In the initial configuration all the 27 attributes available have a standard text assignment.
#, A, B, C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
With a PC-software and using the Database/PC mode of the ARE H9 HF it is possible to assign each attribute a custom text with up to 14 ASCII characters.
Example: A becomes "stable", B becomes "pasture" C becomes "vaccination"
Under “Set Attribute” at the ARE H9 HF it is now possible to select the attribute by this custom text.
attribute
---------------------------------------------------------------13/51---------------------------------------
When a transponder has been read with an attribute set up with a custom text, the text assigned to the attribute will now be shown on the lower line of the display, right justified, instead of the attribute.
Example of Transponder-ID with attribute and assigned text “Stall”:
ID
4C8C8415 ISO-14443A Stall

type of transponder
6.4 Operating Mode
The menu “Operating Mode” switches between the following modes: Standard, Online/USB, Online/USB H und Datenbank/USB Mode
Operating Mode Standard
6.4.1 Standard mode
In the “Standard” mode will the read transponder codes stored into the internal database of the ARE H9 HF.
---------------------------------------------------------------14/51---------------------------------------
6.4.2 Online/USB, Online/BT*) or Online/Ser. mode
In the online mode the transponder codes will not be stored into the internal database of the ARE H9 HF. The transponder codes are immediately transmitted via the USB interface to an attached PC, PDA, etc.
It is important that there is a USB host-device ready to receive the data; otherwise the read transponder codes are lost because they are not stored in this mode.
The reading process is the same as in standard mode; the second display-line shows the information of the selected “online/USB” between the reading processes.
