Active Long Distance RFID Reader with TCP/IP Wiegand 26 for Parking System
NFC-9801 Reader is one of UHF RFID products we independently developed. With contactless, free from environment impact, long reading distance, the ability of reading multiple tags moving at high speed, excellent anti-collision etc., NFC-9801 is suitable for many different projects. At present, NFC-9801 has widely applied to highway no-parking fee management, car license anti-counterfeiting identify management, vehicle marshalling and scheduling management, intelligent parking management, border access control, and asset management, luggage parcel identification and logistic etc.
1. Overview
NFC-9801 is a UHF RFID reader with integrity structure and full function. It includes RF module, digital signal managing, input/output port and serial communication port, synchronization function.
NFC-9801 is multi-protocol UHF reader, which supports ISO18000-6B and EPC international standard protocol. It can read and write UCODE, TI, Alien and other label. In addition, it can optimize the chips of main application labels. To meet the requirements of protocol and function expanding and protect user investment, the reader can be upgraded with our update software conveniently.
NFC-9801 reader is an integrative design with built-in high gain linear polarization antenna, its effective reading range is very wide and fast moving tags can be identified. Integrated, ultra-thin and water proof structure design makes the installation very simple in engineering applications.

3. Function introduction
l Support multi-protocol: NFC-9801 reader supports ISO18000-6B, EPC Class 1, EPC Class 1 GEN 2 standards, Container standard and Railway standard, and can also be programmed to support other protocols and features through reader's software upgrade.
l Protocol specific optimization: NFC-9801 reader can be optimized for a specific protocol, making it possible to enhance the price-quality ratio on close-loop system applications.
l Input/Output function: The reader is designed with 1-way trigger input, it will identify tags in accordance with external trigger commands, so as to meet green energy requirements and reduces energy consumption. It has widely applied to car parking solution and production line management. It's also designed with 4 relays output, which can be used for external control, saving the cost and complexity of additional external components.
l Synchronization function: In practice, NFC-9801 reader has designed with synchronization function, ensuring the reliability and reading performance when multiple readers installed in the near area.
l Off-line function: The reader is designed with nonvolatile memory for storage of tag data, to ensure un-interruptible data flow even in the event of power interruption or in case of communication interruption and/or failure.
l ID matching function: NFC-9801 reader has built-in nonvolatile memory. In a close-loop application system, user can store the required tag data in the nonvolatile memory in advance, when reader identify tags, it will compare the tag data with the stored tag, and then perform the action which predefined by reader or designed by user.
l Clock function: NFC- 9801 reader comes with a built-in real time clock, and it can be configured to synchronize its clock with the system clock. If and when the reader is working in an off-line mode, the internal time-stamp allows for a smooth and uninterrupted integration of the data collected.
l Feature matching function: The reader with tag feature matching function, when feature matching function enabled, it will compare the tag with the predefined characteristic value, and then perform the action which predefined by reader or designed by user.

6.2. Reader installing
- Installation height
The reader could be installed on woody, concrete or brick wall by using fastening piece in shipping package. The reader is recommended to install at 1.8m~2.5m height. (It also depends on your practical testing environment.)
- Reader's angle
To reach better performance, the reader is recommended to be installed with It is better that the reader could be installed with angle of 20°~25°. It can be also adjusted based on practical environment.
6.3. Caution
- Please pay attention to antenna direction when installing (Note the "up" sign on back side). If the reader position is
wrong, it may affect reader performance, as the antenna is horizontal polarization with directionality.
- When installing, the reader could be installed on wood, concrete, desk or brick surfaces, try to avoid the metal
interference.
- Please pay attention to tag direction when you testing tag. In practice, please keep tag and antenna parallel face to
face, as the antenna is vertical polarization antenna with directionality. (pls see figure 6)
Figure 6 Tag direction
