LID 574 Handheld Reader

The LID 574 is a handheld instrument with multiple communication modes including USB and low energy blue tooth (BLE). The instrument can communicate directly with commonly used control software such as Provantis using a base station and a "comtest" software. The instrument is powered by rechargeable Li-Ion batteries which can be recharged using a docking station (shown) or by direct connection to a PC using a USB cable. This ensures extended usage time between charges.

The large screen displays communication mode, battery charge level and date/time. The instrument is erogonomically designed for ease of use/handling as a portable instrument. The LID 574 works with our windows compatible "toolbox software"  which facilitates simple instrument set up, historical date upload and downloads, custom name creation and automatic firmware updating.

The charging stations come in different forms as optional extras. We can provide both a single or multi station charger (see products> antennae and accessories) which are supplied with adaptors for mains voltage (120v) charging. The image shows a single station charger. 

Features and Benefits:

  • Long life (8 hour) rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries
  • Charges through docking station or direct from laptop
  • Multiple communication modes (BLE and USB)
  • Large, easy to read, back lit screen
  • Excellent read range
  • Compatible with "Toolbox" software

Optional:

  • Single or Multi (Four) Stage Charger
  • Plastic carry case
