Allflex AWR300 User Guide

Introduction
The AWR300 is a high quality, ruggedized portable RFID reader for tags, complying with the
ISO11784 / 11785 standard. It can read transponders with FDX-B and HDX technology. In
addition to the reading functions, the device can store up to 1,000,000 records in several
groups in the large internal memory. Each record also contains a timestamp, and a Visual ID
and an Alert, if available. The data are transmitted via several available interfaces directly after
reading, such as USB, RS232, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (optional).
The reader has a large color display that displays various information at one glance. Together
with the seven keys, you can easily navigate through the menus and data. There are also status
LEDs above the display that indicate the charging and interface status and multicolor LEDs at
the tip which indicate the current reading state. The integrated speaker provides acoustical
feedback and the vibrating handle is very useful in noisy environments.

Before You Start
The internal high-capacity lithium-ion battery should be fully charged before the first use. The
battery can be charged using the provided Y-Cable and power adapter. Connect the Y-Cable
to the bayonet connector at the bottom of the reader (1) and the power supply to the circular
connector (2) of the Y-Cable. The plug-in power supply (3) should be fitted with the correct
mains adapter. Then you can plug in the power supply into a mains outlet and the AWR300
should start charging the battery. See Chapters 3.1.2.1 for details about the battery status.
The internal fast charging takes approx. 3.5 hours maximum if the battery is
completely empty. Note that the battery will only be charged within a
temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (+32 to 113°F).
