For further reading processes release the main button and press it again for each attempt.
---------------------------------------------------------------8/36-------------------------------------------------------------
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------9/36-------------------------------------------------------------
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.

ARE H9. For a detailed description see section 3.3 and 4.
5.4.2 Online/USB **) or Online/BT*) mode
In the online mode the transponder codes will not be stored into the internal database of the
ARE H9. The transponder codes are immediately transmitted via the USB interface to an
attached PC, PDA, etc.
It is important that there is a USB **) or Bluetooth*) connection established to a 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” **) or “online/BT” mode in between the reading
processes.

5.4.3 Online/USB H or Online/BT H*) mode – handshake mode
The “online/USB H” or “online/BT H” mode has a similar to the “online/USB” with the
difference that a read transponder code will not be sent immediately to the host (PC, PDA,
etc.).
First the reader checks if a connection to the host is established before it sends the transponder
code.
*)only with optional Bluetooth module
**) online/ser. for Rs232 version
---------------------------------------------------------------15/36-------------------------------------------------------------
For this transmission the following protocol is used:
