The APR350 is the entry level class for portable ruggedized readers. It has the combination of the features of ISO 11785 RFID reader and an alphanumeric keypad for easy data collection. The strong IP64 housing of the APR350 is very handy and easy to operate even under extreme conditions. It is nevertheless so small that it fits even into a shirt pocket. The FLASH Memory capacity of 5000 IDs is sufficient for more than a day’s work. The data are protected even when the battery fails.

The APR350 is prepared for data communication, power supply and recharge via the APC200 USB Cable or the optional USB Docking Station ADS200.

Downloadable user-defined action codes can be combined with values via the keypad. The action code can be either a number or free programmable alphanumerical text. With the “Action code plus” function an additional value can be saved. A look-up table can be downloaded to show animal live numbers or farm numbers additional to the transponder ID. With the ASSIGN function the animal ID and the transponder ID can be assigned in the field. The animal ID can be added from a downloadable list or the keypad. The two HOTKEYS of the APR 350 can be programmed individually and combined with a special action code to make recurrent work more convenient. With the optional TASK mode user-defined configurations are possible.

The Reader is compatible to the ISO Standard 11785 and read FDX-B and HDX with good reading range. Tags with the widely used chip type H4102 can be read optionally.
