The APR350 and APR380 are portable handheld EiD readers from Agrident and are compatible with all ISO 11784/5 tags and equipment.  The handhelds combine both a powerful EiD reader as well as an alphanumeric keypad for additonal data collection and yet are small enough to fit in your pocket.

The housing on the APR350 is IP64 rated so it can be used in even the worst conditions.  The APR380 includes a Bluetooth Class 2 interface permitting communication with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers and laptops if required.

The Flash Memory can hold up to 5000 IDs and is therefore likely to be suitable for most enterprises.  Data is protected even when the battery fails. IDs can be combined with a time stamp and additional information such as an action code and a value 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 could be saved.

An ALIAS like the animal live number or farm numbers can be displayed alongside the transponder ID.  With the ASSIGN function the animal ID and the transponder ID can be connected in the field. The animal ID can be added from a downloadable list or the keypad.

The two HOTKEYS of the APR 350/380 can be programmed individually and combined with a special action code to make recurrent work more convenient. With the new optional TASK Mode user defined configurations are possible.

The reader is compatible to ISO Standard 11784/5 and reads both FDX-B and HDX tags with a good reading range. Tags with the widely used chip type H4102 can be read optional.

The handheld is powered by standard rechargeable AA type NIMH batteries which can be changed. A 12V car charging adaptor is available.  An optional external Antenna (AEA080) can be used to read tags in difficult situations.
