Overview
The AI-561 is a UHF RFID reader with a built-in 6 dBi circularly polarized antenna, in one white ABS housing rated IP65. It reads ISO 18000-6C (EPC Gen2) tags at 0–6 m, with RF output adjustable from 0 to 26 dBm.
Its Wiegand interface, an international standard, connects to a gate control panel. A trigger input (TGIN) is included, and the reader comes in an RS232 version or a USB version for the host connection.
It supports RSSI, used to identify tag signal distance, and a buzzer confirms each read. It runs on 12 V, 2 A.
