1. Introduction
The portable full-ISO APR readers from Agrident are so small - they fit even into a shirt
pocket - they have a very handy design and are easy to operate even under worse
conditions.
The readers are compatible to the ISO standard 11785 and read FDX-B and HDX. Tags with
the widely used chip type H4102 can be read as well.
The two HOTKEYES can be programmed individually and combined with a special action.
Furthermore any read ID could be combined with an ACTION CODE to combine useful
information with the transponder ID.
A look-up table can be downloaded to the reader to show animal live numbers or farm
numbers additional to the transponder ID.
The APR readers have an integrated real-time clock; every ID will be stored with a time
stamp.
The large memory is sufficient for 2000 IDs, including time stamp and ACTION CODE.
The large backlit display has 2 x 16 characters and is very readable.
An ergonomic keyboard with 8 keys ensure easy and comfortable operation.
The robust case is IP 54 protected and withstands even harsh environments.
The APR300 is prepared for wireless data communication, loading and power supply
together with the docking station ADS100/200.
Some of the outstanding features of the APR readers are
ACTION CODES
To combine useful information with a transponder ID the APR reader offers the ACTION
CODES. They can be a numeric value from 1 to 99 or more comfortable an alphanumeric
string of up to 10 digits. The alphanumeric strings have to be loaded into the APR. The
ACTION CODE can be combined with the ID after reading automatically or can be chosen
out of the list with the SCROLL keys.
ACTION CODE PLUS
As a further enhancement this function allows to add an additional numeric value from 0 to
99 to the Action Code.
HOTKEYS
A HOTKEY is more than a simple READ button. It could be programmed to do a lot more
than a simple read.
With the HOTKEY you can start a complete sequence of functions by just pressing one
button.
As the APR readers have two HOTKEYS, you can program them individually for different
tasks.
When a big portion of a days work is the same task, e.g. the recording of the number of
newborn piglets of a sow, a very useful solution is possible with the ACTION CODE plus
function. This function is programmed to one of the HOTKEYS and the ACTION CODE for
“number of new born piglets” is defined. After pressing that HOTKEY, the APR will read the
ID of the sow, add the ACTION CODE automatically and asks for the value. With the
SCROLL keys the number of piglets is chosen and confirmed with ENTER. Then all
information needed is saved into the data field.
The other HOTKEY could be programmed with another task or with the ACTION CODE ASK
function for various tasks.
