Halo Microchip Scanner, White

Product Information

Size is also important. Nobody wants to go round the park carrying a big huge metal detector and there are plenty of dinky scanners which animal lovers can carry around in their bags covertly and simply bring them out when they suspect an animal is a stray.

Single button press; When the Halo is on standby, a single button press will reactivate the scanner So, for example, if a dog is microchipped with an ISO or non ISO chip in the USA and then becomes lost in another country, a Universal scanner would be able to detect it, but a non-Universal scanner would not.

What is the Halo microchip scanner?

The SCANNER is widely recognized as the best Mjolnir suit available for high value target and hostage recovery operations, though it is technically classified as a search-and-rescue variant. Furthermore, research from AKCReunite shows that pets with microchips are up to 20 times more likely to be reunited with their owners. The SCANNER helmet features a number of sensor capabilities and user-adjustable settings that are not yet compatible with standard VISR hardware.

ISO (International Standards Organisation) microchips are recognised worldwide. Non-ISO microchips are mostly found in older dogs and cats which were chipped before ISO was established, so while they’re rarer there is still a risk you could encounter one.Our Barnabys product range is shipped via a third party and is usually handled by DPD on a free next day service, again this cannot be guaranteed and can take a few days to be processed. In recent years though, pet microchips have played a huge part in reuniting lost loved ones with their owners. It has been mandatory to microchip dogs since 2016, and the government introduced mandatory cat microchipping in 2021 too. Since October 2020 it has also been mandatory for all owners to chip their horses, ponies and donkeys. The Halo is Scanner Angel enabled and uses a USB lead for charging the scanner's internal rechargeable battery. It depends on how flat the battery is but a normal charge from a low battery to full charge is 3.5 hours. If the battery has become completely flat (i.e. the unit will not turn on) then you will need to do 3 lots of 3.5 hour charges, unplugging and re-plugging the USB lead in between each charge. This is because for safety reasons the charging circuit has a safety cut-out timer of 3.5 hours to prevent the battery from over-heating. After the three lots of charges the unit should be completely re-charged.

Reads the thermo chips -Will display the temperature from the temperature measuring BioTherm™ microchips No unfortunately at the moment the software is for a Windows compatible computer only. We hope to release Apple Mac compatible software later this year. But crucially, pets still won’t be found unless somebody scans them. Microchip scanners are commonly used by rescue centres and vets. But if you regularly come by stray cats where you live, it is also a great item to have to hand. It cuts out the need to go to the vet with your rescue, reducing stress for everyone involved. No unfortunately at the moment the software is for a Windows compatible computer only. We hope to release Apple Mac compatible software later this year. You may have noticed the use of the word ‘keeper’ rather than ‘owner’. That is because keeper, according to the law, is the correct term for the dog’s primary guardian but does not necessarily indicate ownership.

Not all microchips can be read by every scanner. It is best to buy one which is universal and can read any chip. The majority of modern microchips are ISO standard but some non-ISO still exist. You also want something rechargeable, with a good battery life, and which is easy to read. It features both USB and Bluetooth interfaces, allowing you to transfer the data captured by the scanner on to your PC or handheld device and is powered by a rechargeable battery. Final thoughts Effective read range -The entire outer edge is the scanning area so that a large scanning area is covered in one go
