Yanzeo AR180 Pet Microchip Reader — 15-Digit ISO FDX-B Scanner (134.2kHz/125kHz)

Overview

The Yanzeo AR180 is a compact, portable microchip reader designed to help identify pets and stray animals with ease. It reads the 15-digit international standard IDs on ISO 11784/11785 and FDX-B chips across 134.2kHz and 125kHz frequencies. With one-button operation, you can initiate scans quickly, making it suitable for everyday pet care, shelter use, or field work. Note that it does not support FDX-A or AVID chips, and the 9-digit IDs will not be recognized.

Design, durability, and usability

The AR180 pairs a lightweight, portable silhouette with a robust housing designed to withstand field conditions. It’s suitable for indoor use at clinics or shelters and for outdoor environments where sturdy equipment is valued. The device emphasizes practical ergonomics, so scanning can happen comfortably during long sessions or quick checks.

Power, sound, and control

A built-in rechargeable battery keeps the unit ready for extended field use, with USB charging for convenient top-ups. An auto-shutdown feature after 180 seconds of inactivity helps preserve battery life, while a manual 3-second press provides a quick power-down. You can toggle the pet reader prompt sound if you prefer a silent read in sensitive settings.
