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)
• HDX-B Read-Only(according to ISO 11784/11785)
• Trovan
• PSK1
• ASK64bit
The ARE H9 does not synchronize with other RFID readers operating in close vicinity.
Before the initial use of this ARE H9 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 will switch off automatically after 20s (default) when no button has been pressed
within this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------6/36-------------------------------------------------------------
3.3 Reading a transponder in standard mode
Press the main button to start the reading process.
The ARE H9 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:
Country-Code ID
maximum
count
969 0000000001024
1 12
Retagging Counter and User Information
For ISO Transponder additional the retagging counter and the user information field are displayed
in the second row of the display.
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------7/36-------------------------------------------------------------
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-------------------------------------------------------------
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.

5.3 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 IDcode of the next read transponder in the internal database of the ARE H9. When the Code
Format is set to Attributes will the selected attribute or its text displayed in the rightmost
corner of the second display line.
Example of Transponder-ID with no attribute:
Country-Code ID
969 0000000001024
ISO-Fdx #
type of trasnponder
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 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 it is now possible to select the attribute by this custom text.
When a transponder has been read with a 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.
