Germany based Brooks Automation recently announced its new RFID Reader THR, an easy to operate read device. It is specially designed for users changing from Barcode to RFID. Those users are provided with a reader easy to install and individually to configure, which is ready for immediate use. Already after connecting the data cable to the PC, the device reads data and displays it in an input field or text document.
The device communicates with passive tags using the frequencies LF 125 kHz/134.2 kHz or HF 13.56 MHz. It is available with a USB 2.0 or PS2 interface. When using USB, the reader is directly connected to the PC, while, when using PS2, it links the PC and the keyboard.
Upon pushing a button the read process is initiated. A successful identification is indicated by a signal or a flashing LED. Depending on the used frequency and type of transponder, the device reaches reading ranges from 3 to 20cm. Collected data is processed to the PC by a PS2 or USB interface.
Configuration is done by a set up button. This button activates an audio signal, collects the volume of the data, or configures the number of repetition at an incorrect reading process. The RFID Reader allows numerous settings, which are described in the provided user manual.
The RFID Reader is available at Brooks Automation from now on www.brooks-rfid.com
