1. Introduction
The ISO reader module AIR200 is designed as an integrated reader head for the handheld
computer Workabout PRO M/C by PSION TEKLOGIX. It combines the reading of ISO
transponders with the Windows CE software of the PSION®-workabout PRO. Together with the
external antenna AEA080 from Agrident, the reading of bolus or ear tags is much more
convenient. The AIR200 is compatible to ISO 11784/5. It reads HDX and FDX-B transponders
also as H4002 compatible transponders.
To install the AIR200 module in a Workabout PRO handheld, please follow the instructions
below.

6. FCC digital device limitations
Radio and Television Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this
equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in
interference to radio and television reception.
Caution! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.
7. CANADIAN RADIO EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numeriques de la class A prescrites dans le Reglement sur le
brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des Communications du Canada.
*
Industry Canada:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a
maximum gain of 1.8 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 1.8 dB
are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 2.8 ohms.
- Stick Antenna AEA080
- Stick Antenna AEA120
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted
for successful communication.
8. CE MARKING
Hereby, Agrident BV declares that this equipment, if used according to the instructions, is in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the RTTE Directive
1999/5/EC. For use in all countries of the EU.
