NLIS Platinum Stick Reader

One of the best value NLIS stick readers that we've seen: read ear tags from up to 55cm from the end of the reader - this is about 3-4 times the distance of most similar priced readers.

The new NLIS Platinum Stick Reader is a cutting-edge RFID stick reader designed for the demands of operating in tough Australian cattle yards.

Key Features:

• New generation ultra long read distance technology - read ear tags from up to 55cm from the end of the reader - perfect for difficult cows.
• Heavy duty durable design with IP67 waterproof housing.
• Light weight (485g) with convenient carrying case.
• Rechargeable lithium battery with an extended battery life - up to 16 hours.
• Temperature reading support of compatible microchips.
• Supports both scanning tags to memory (to read later on your device or download to your device with the included app or software) and the real time transfer of scanned cattle tag numbers to your phone, tablet or computer (Apple, Android, PC or Mac) by Bluetooth.
• Large memory capacity holding up to 100,000 records.
• Sound alert on successful scan.

Use the bluetooth real time transfer feature to seamlessly connect with your mobile phone or tablet and record cattle ear tag IDs as you go.  No expensive subscriptions are required - tag numbers can be wirelessly transmitted to the notepad or spreadsheet app or software that you are familiar with such as Apple Notes, Google Keep, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers.  You can also scroll through the saved ear tag numbers with ease on the LCD screen as you work in the yards.  The 1.54-inch color OLED display simplifies operation with a user-friendly interface, displaying tag ID, tag type, and, for temperature tags, animal temperature information in real-time.  You also have the option to connect the reader to your computer using the included software for exporting ear tag data at home.

The handy stick reader reads all Australian NLIS approved sheep and cattle electronic ear tags. In addition, it also reads pet microchips (dog, cat & horse).
