The LID560 Reader is ideal for checking microchips before and after implantation in companion animals. This reader scans for several different frequencies and does not support any kind of communication features.

The LID560 has a detachable pocket clip.

The LID560 is activated by pressing the red push button. This starts the reader and the last microchip number read is displayed on the LCD. When you press the button again, the reader starts scanning for a new microchip. As soon as a microchip is within reading distance, the number will be displayed.

If a microchip is not in range of the reader during the scanning period, the message “No Code” is displayed.

Microchip codes are shown on the 2 x 16 character display, which has back-lighting. If the battery voltage (Standard 9V Alkaline) drops below 7 Volts, the message ‘low battery’ is shown on the display (reading is still possible).

The reader is programmed to read the following transponders used in companion animals:

134.2 kHz:       ISO FDX-B (EIDAP, PetHealth, M4S, AVID)

125 kHz:          AVID (Fecava)

                        AVID USA (encrypted)

PetNet

                        M4S

                        Home Again USA (Digital Angel, Destron)

128 kHz:          Trovan Unique (AKC, Zoo Animals)

The LID560 has been approved by the NCAC for use in companion animals.
