Fixed Readers
The 433 MHz M200 fixed reader interprets and reports the radio frequency messages emitted by RF Code tags at distances up to 1,000 feet (with optional custom antenna configurations). Tag transmissions can be processed in real-time to quickly locate and identify tagged assets or personnel in defined areas. M200 readers are compatible with wired and wireless networks for rapid integration into an organization’s IT infrastructure. With a modular design and low price, Readers provide an economical solution to a wide variety of asset tracking problems. RF Code’s patented communication protocols allow for very high tag densities. Large populations of tags can be monitored using a single reader.

The M200 reader’s maximum sensitivity (maximum range) depends upon the installation, location and antenna configuration. The operating read range is software configurable and can be adjusted for customized applications. At default settings, the reader operates with no attenuation (Range Setting 8) and reports every tag in its environment. The effective range can be reduced in 5 dB steps by selecting one of the preprogrammed settings (1 through 7). Additional finetuning can be accomplished by dialing down the sensitivity in 1 dB increments to limit coverage to a single room or defined zone.
