UHF Desktop Reader - 103

What the UHF RFID desktop reader 103 does

The IDTS-103 is a small desktop UHF RFID reader-writer that connects to a computer and works without a driver or a separate power supply. Once it is connected, the PC can read and write UHF tags straight away, which makes it practical for counters where staff have no IT support at hand: library desks, billing counters, store-room issue points and asset registration desks.

Serial or HID output, configured for your software

The reader communicates over serial or HID, and the output format is configurable. In HID mode the tag number appears in whichever application has focus, just like keyboard input, so an existing billing or inventory screen can accept RFID without changes. Serial mode suits software that talks to the reader directly. Our guide to scanning RFID tags into Excel walks through keyboard-style output.

Multi-tag reading and writing

The 103 supports ISO 18000-6C (EPC Gen2) as well as the older ISO 18000-6B protocol, and it can read and write several tags rather than strictly one at a time, which helps when a small bundle of labelled items is checked together. The reading radius is adjustable up to 30 cm: keep it short when encoding a single label, and open it up when verifying a handful of tagged items on the desk.

BIS approved

The 103UDR is BIS approved. If you need a BIS approved reader for a tender or a compliance file, ask for the certificate along with your quote. More on BIS approved RFID readers.

Choosing a desktop reader

Choose the 103 for driver-free reading and encoding at one PC. For network connections, bulk Excel encoding or counting trays of items, compare the other models in our UHF RFID desktop reader range.
