Common Questions

  • Which UID tags does the URH-1HP-ISO read?

    The URH-1HP-ISO reads all UID microchips.

  • Should I pick the ISO version or the non-ISO URH-1HP?

    Pick the ISO version (URH-1HP-ISO) unless you're maintaining a legacy non-ISO program. ISO 11784/11785 is the global standard for animal ID; almost every PIT tag and microchip you'd buy today is FDX-B. The non-ISO URH-1HP exists for sites that already standardized on older proprietary tag stocks.

  • Should I use USB or Bluetooth?

    USB if the reader sits next to the host PC and you want a wired connection your LIMS. Bluetooth if the operator is moving around a procedure room, cage rack, or field site. Both modes use HID keyboard emulation, so the ID lands in whatever field has focus.

  • What's the practical read range?

    6–7.5 cm with a 2.1 x 12 mm ISO PIT tag. Range scales down with smaller tags — expect roughly 3–4 cm with a 1.4 x 8.5 mm tag. Read range is also affected by tag orientation relative to the antenna and by metal in the scan environment.
