The IR 9000 readers are passive long-distance RFID readers operating according the European UHF (ultra high frequency) regulations. The readers enable usage of passive long-distance RFID technology in applications like automated vehicle identification (AVI), logistic systems and access control applications. These sophisticated readers are able to identify tags based on Atmel’s passive TAGIDU chip (ATA5590) from a distance of 4 to 8 meters (12-24 feet)*. Writing operations are possible up to 4 meters (12 feet). The readers have an integrated antenna and the option to connect up to 4 external antennas. The fourth external antenna can be connected in case the internal antenna is deactivated.
The IR 9000 readers are available with several interfaces for easy integration and offer a variety of security options. They support anti-collision with up to 100 tags in the field. Via the three I/O ports peripherals can be addressed. Due to the extremely compact size the readers can also be easily installed in environments with limited space. The wide operation temperature range of the readers and their protection class enable usage in indoor and outdoor environments.
