Description
The square transceiver is designed for use with the
Allen Bradley high frequency 13.56 MHz RFID system. This
transceiver is ISO 15693 compliant and can read/write ICODE
tags SLI and SL2, allowing infinite tag configuration options
from various manufacturers. Local LEDs allow for quick visual
diagnosis of module status and read/write status.
Square transceivers have universal mounting capability and
measure 40 x 40 mm. Transceivers can be mounted up to
300 ft (91.4 m) away from the interface module, and tags are
readable from distances up to 3.3 in. (85 mm). This
transceiver has an enclosure rating of IP67 and is designed to
withstand harsh industrial environments.
