Description

The CHAFON CF816 Industrial UHF RFID Fixed Reader is engineered for robust, large-scale RFID applications. Utilizing the advanced Impinj E710 chipset, it operates in the 902-928 MHz (US) or 865-868 MHz (EU) UHF bands, providing reliable, high-speed identification of tags with anti-collision algorithms and multi-antenna polling. Its design prioritizes stable performance in industrial settings.

This reader offers extensive system integration flexibility through its standard USB, RS232, and Ethernet (TCP/IP) ports, with an optional PoE module for simplified power and data delivery. The inclusion of two sets of GPI and GPO (General Purpose Input/Output) allows for direct interaction with external devices like gates, lights, or alarms, enabling automated process control based on tag reads.

Key Features

  • Impinj E710 chipset delivers industry-leading read rate and tag processing sensitivity.
  • Eight independent SMA antenna ports enable the creation of wide-area or segmented reading zones.
  • Software-adjustable RF power (0-33 dBm) allows for fine-tuning read performance and compliance with regional regulations.
  • Supports RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) for estimating tag distance and location.
  • Comprehensive software development kit (SDK) supports C#, Delphi, Java, Python, and VB for custom application development.
  • IP55 protection rating safeguards against dust and water jets, ensuring reliability in warehouses and industrial facilities.
  • Integrated GPIO (2x GPI, 2x GPO) facilitates seamless integration with peripheral control systems.

Applications

  • Large-scale warehouse inventory management and pallet tracking.
  • Industrial asset tracking and management across factory floors.
  • Logistics and supply chain management for container and parcel identification.
  • Access control and personnel tracking in secure industrial facilities.
  • Library and archive management systems for item-level tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number of antennas I can connect to the CF816 reader?

The CHAFON CF816 reader is equipped with eight (8) SMA female antenna ports. This allows you to connect up to eight separate UHF RFID antennas simultaneously, enabling coverage of large areas or the creation of multiple distinct reading zones from a single reader unit.

What interfaces are available for connecting the CF816 to a host system?

The CF816 provides multiple standard interfaces for connectivity: USB for direct PC connection, RS232 for serial communication with PLCs or legacy systems, and TCP/IP (Ethernet) for network integration. An optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) module is available, which can deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable.

Can the read range and power output of this RFID reader be adjusted?

Yes, the RF output power is fully software-adjustable from 0 dBm to 33 dBm. This allows you to fine-tune the read range to suit your specific application, optimize performance to avoid interference, and ensure compliance with local radio frequency power regulations.

Is the CF816 suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial environments?

Yes, the reader is housed in an enclosure with an IP55 protection rating. This means it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it durable enough for use in warehouses, factories, and other demanding industrial settings.
