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. If the microchip reader does not indicate anything and the dog or cat has no tattoo, then it has no identity. The search for the owner may then be more complicated.

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. The most innovative scanner on the market, Halo’s revolutionary chip reader is the ideal aid for finding lost animals and comes with software designed to turn you from a concerned animal lover into a successful dog and cat detective. Microchipping your dog is one of the simplest and most effective ways to safeguard your pooch’s wellbeing for very little long-term cost and scanners are essential to make use of the chip.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. 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. An otherwise traditional microchip scanner, the Halo will immedidately alert the operator if the microchip being scanned belongs to an animal that has been reported missing. It is also currently the most economically priced scanner on the market. No unfortunately at the moment the software is for a Windows compatible computer only.

It is one of four helmet-only armor sets alongside the Locus, Strider, and Deadeye helmets. Subsequently, in Halo 4's full body renders, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the Scanner body armor is the same as the Recruit armor.

Rechargeable; The Halo is recharged by a PC or laptop via a mini USB cable (supplied) and has a standby time of up to 6 months This helps remove all hesitation and uncertainty from an encounter with a lost animal, as you’ll always be able to know for certain whether they need help or not.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. For example, as they’re all wireless and portable, you want one with a long battery life that won’t let you down if you forgot to charge it and need it in an emergency. Opt for a rechargeable scanner too – batteries are not reliable. Most come with a USB cable so you can charge it at home or in the car. The Halo scanner will read all 15 digit (FDX-B) microchips and 10 digit (FDX-A FECAVA) microchips. The 15 digit microchips are those that are used throughout all of Europe and most of the world. The 10 digit microchips were used in the UK about 15 years ago and are common in the USA. The Halo will NOT read AVID-Encrypted microchips or the 10 digit Trovan microchip, these chips are normally only used in the USA. ISO (International Standards Organisation) microchips usually broadcast information on a frequency of 134.2kHz, whilst non-ISO frequency is 125 kHz or 128 kHz. The majority of scanners are now universal, so will operate at all frequencies, but some cheaper modern models will only scan at ISO level. The Halo microchip scanner will read the FDX-B (15 digit) and the 10 digit FDX-A (FECAVA) microchips used for animal identification in compliance with ISO 11784 norms.

The Halo scanner is supplied with a 1.8 metre USB lead and a CD for installing the accompanying software onto a Windows compatible PC. Design; Small, light weight and robust, the Halo is ergonomically designed and aesthetically pleasing and not intrusive for the animal being scanned

No, the Halo scanner has an internal rechargeable battery which is recharged through the USB connector.
