The new AWR250 Stick Reader is considered the most economical ISO11785 stick reader.   It combines all important features in an ergonomic, robust housing at a very reasonable cost. With a large colour display and a convenient keyboard, it is very easy to use. The different lights, sounds and vibrations give clear signals about the ongoing operation.

The AWR250 reads all types of HDX and FDX-B transponders, ear tags and bolus compatible with ISO standard 11784/5. The new energy-optimized reader technology used in the AWR250 Stick Reader in combination with a powerful Li-ON battery offers a long operation and standby time. For convenient power management, the AWR250 can be recharged at any USB Power supply.

The large memory allows the storage of 100,000 tags plus a time-stamp and additional data. The memory can be arranged in groups. The USB mass storage mode enables easy access to data without additional drivers. Up to 25 Tasks created by the Allflex Task Software can be loaded into the AWR250 and make data collection at the animal as easy as a touch of a button.

The large backlit Colour Display allows convenient reading of IDs and additional data after scanning. The casing combines lightweight and robustness with an ergonomic design.

The AWR250 Stick Reader consists of an integrated USB interface for wired and Class 1 Bluetooth for wireless communication and connects with Android applications for easy data management on Smartphones and with major brands of scales for weight recording.

    Answered by the admin

    Providing both animals have scannable EID devices, the AWR250 Stick Reader can scan and record their identification numbers.  These can be downloaded to a PC or viewed on the reader for management purposes.  Alternatively, if only the mother has an EID device, manual notes can be added later regarding calves.  For more technical details on the AWR250 Stick Reader, please get in touch with Allflex at (07) 3245 9100.
