1 Introduction
The ARE H9 is a RFID Pocket Reader designed to read passive Read-Only-Transponder. It has the ability to
store the Transponder-Codes in its internal database.
This Pocket Reader is equipped with a USB Interface
**)
, which allows transmitting single transponder codes
or its entire database to a computer.
It is especially suitable for animal identification, logistics and asset tracking
The ARE H9 Full-ISO is capable to read the following transponder types:
• FDX-B Read-Only(according to ISO 11784/11785)

3.4 Reading Range
The reading range and distance depends on the transponder, its packaging and orientation to the
reader. The following diagram shows the typical area where a glass transponder should be read:
The ARE H 9 is not capable to read two or more transponders which are at the same time in the
antenna field.
---------------------------------------------------------------8/36-------------------------------------------------------------
Page 9
4 Database
When a reading had been accomplished successfully, in the standard operating mode, the ARE H9
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, 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.
The database of the ARE H9 with all its actual records could be transmitted to a PC; also it is
possible to receive a new database from a PC. This is done in the Database/USB mode described in
chapter 5.4.4. On Power Loss the ARE H9 will keep its database data.
5 Menu Functions
5.1 Navigating the trough the menu function
By pressing the menu button it can be chosen between the different menu function.
If the menu button is pressed again the ARE H9 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 changes back to
the transponder reading mode.
