Q. Do the Aleis Readers have a Visual Display?

A. The Aleis 8000 and 9000 Electronic ID Series Readers have a visual display which provides vital information to the user in the yards, such as:

RFID Number—the number read is displayed on the screen.

Counter—every RFID is counted, and the count is displayed continuously.

Battery Level Indicator—a display of the current status of the battery charge.

RF Signal Indicator—a display of the signal strength between the RF Links.

Q. I have seen other electronic ID visual displays, and I could never see what was being displayed because of lighting problems, either the sunlight was too bright, or in the early morning or evening hours, it was too dark. What makes the Aleis Reader visual electronic ID display different from any other?

A. The Aleis electronic ID Reader Visual Display has been designed to be easily read in the sun, and also features automatic back lighting allowing excellent vision in dark, cloudy or dim conditions.

Q. I don’t want to have a computer in the yards, can I still use an Aleis EID Reader?

A. Yes! Aleis Readers store the RFIDs you read or there is a choice of data entry models. This allows you to either transmit those RFIDs directly to your computer as you read them or download those RFIDs back at the office. The storage capacity on the Aleis electronic ID Readers allows you to choose how you would like to transmit data to your computer—instant transfer to your computer as you read or download later when you’re finished.

Q. How many RFIDs can the memory in the Aleis EID Reader hold?

A. The Aleis EID Reader can store 40,000 RFIDs.

Q. I noticed you stated that Aleis Readers offer a number of methods for data transfer, what are they?

A. Aleis Electronic ID Readers offer transfer by computer cable. The computer cable has military spec cannon fittings to connect the cable to the reader, and then a serial connection to connect the cable to your computer. Aleis Readers offer the option of transfer by RF Link. This exciting technology allows a ‘cable-less’ transfer of data. An RF Link is built into the Aleis Reader and then an RF Receiver is plugged into your computer. The data is then transferred between these two links. Blue tooth now available.

Q. I have been ‘bitten’ by hidden costs when I have purchased goods before. When I buy an Aleis Electronic Reader, what other accessories do I need to buy?

A regulated quick charging Battery Charger with cabling.

5 mtr. Reader to Computer Lead
