HID TipTick Halo 200


The HID TripTick™ Halo 200 (often referred to simply as Halo 200) is a specialized, fixed-mount barcode reader designed by HID Global (formerly Access-IS, which HID acquired).1 It's part of their TripTick™ series, which focuses on high-performance ticket and document reading.

It's not a general-purpose access control reader like an iCLASS or Seos reader, nor is it an ID card printer. Instead, it's a dedicated scanner primarily used for:

  • Reading 1D and 2D Barcodes: This is its core function. It can quickly and accurately capture barcodes (like QR codes, PDF417, EAN, UPC, Code 39, Code 128) from:4
    • Paper tickets/documents: Traditional printed tickets, boarding passes, vouchers.
    • Digital displays: From smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc. This is crucial for modern digital ticketing and mobile boarding passes.
    • It's designed to read barcodes regardless of their orientation, making scanning quick and intuitive.

Key Features and Capabilities:

  • Large Active Scan Area: Offers a generous 88 x 71 mm active scanning area, ensuring efficient barcode capture even with larger or imperfectly presented codes.
  • Rugged and Durable: Built for high-volume, continuous use in demanding public environments. It often features IP54 ingress protection (dust and splash resistant) and toughened glass (e.g., 4mm soda-lime glass) for impact resistance.
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Can be installed in various ways:
    • Surface/Desk Mount: For counter-top or desktop use.
    • Pole Mount: For turnstiles or self-service kiosks.
    • Embedded: Designed for seamless integration into existing infrastructure like kiosks, ticket machines, and gates.
  • Clear User Feedback: Provides visual cues (customizable multi-color RGB LED light strip) and audible feedback (beeper) to guide users during the scanning process (e.g., green for successful scan, red for error).
  • Versatile Connectivity: Supports common interfaces for integration with host systems, including:
    • USB (HID, Serial, Keyboard emulation)
    • RS232 (Serial)
    • Ethernet (optional on some models)
  • Low Profile: Its compact and low-profile design allows for easy integration into various systems without taking up much space.

Primary Applications in Lahore (and globally):

The HID TripTick™ Halo 200 is specifically engineered for high-throughput, self-service applications in public environments:

  • Travel and Transportation:
    • Airports: Check-in desks, pre-security desks, boarding gates for validating boarding passes (paper or mobile).
    • Mass Transit: Ticket validation on buses, trains, or at turnstiles in metro stations.
  • Sports & Events: Access control at stadium gates, arenas, and other event venues.
  • Hospitality: Hotel check-in, resort access.
  • Enterprise: Visitor and contractor management systems.
  • Retail: Voucher redemption, loyalty programs.
  • Vaccine Certificate Checking: Used during periods where digital or printed vaccine passes need quick verification.

Where to Find it in Lahore:

Given its specialized nature, you won't find the HID TripTick™ Halo 200 at a typical electronics store. Instead, you would procure it through:

  • Authorized HID Global Distributors in Pakistan: These are the primary channel for genuine HID products.
  • System Integrators specializing in Aviation, Transportation, or Large-Scale Access Control: Companies that design and implement complex ticketing, passenger processing, or access management solutions for airports, public transport authorities, or large event venues would specify and supply these readers.
  • HID TripTick Halo 200

Summary the HID TripTick™ Halo 200 is a robust and intelligent barcode reader, optimized for rapid and reliable data capture from both physical and digital media in demanding, high-traffic environments.
