2 Performance Features of the mobile Reader ID ISC.PRH200
2.1 Performance Features
ID ISC.PRH200 is a compact, wireless handheld reader, designed for contactless data exchange
with ISO 15693 transponders, especially in libraries. Typical applications are:
•Inventory (Inventory books or other media in the shelf)
•Sorting of books or media in a shelf
•Locate a book or media in a shelf or box,
•automatic checking / rewriting of the AFI bytes of all media.
Further applications are laundries, logistical processes as well as document and asset manage-
ment. In these areas it is possible to work with ISO 18000-3M3 transponders, optionally.
Depending on the type of media and the reading distance, the output power can be switched be-
tween two levels (Standard Mode: 1.5 W and Boost Mode: 4 W). Power supply is a Lithium Ion
rechargeable battery that allows for operating times up to 16 hours*.
If necessary, the battery can be replaced easily and quickly.
5 multi-colored LED lights and an integrated sounder act as display elements. Thereby all relevant
states are visible on both sides of the device.
Communication with a data base or computer take place through a Wi-Fi interface on the reader,
that supports the most common encryption protocols.
