RFID Handheld Scanner Evaluation Kit – UBR90H UHF Keyboard Scanner + Sample Tags

What the UHF RFID handheld scanner evaluation kit does

This kit lets you try UHF RFID in the software you already use, with nothing to install. The UBR90H handheld scanner reads one UHF tag at a time at up to 35 cm and types its number, like a keyboard, into whichever field has focus: an Excel sheet, a billing or ERP screen, a web form. The kit holds the scanner, its 2.4G USB dongle and UHF sample tags chosen for your items.

What to try during the trial

• Scan into your own screen. Plug the dongle into a counter PC, click into the item or asset code field and scan a tagged item. The number should appear where the cursor is, just as if someone had typed it.
• Pick the link for each desk. Use the 2.4G dongle on a PC, pair the scanner over Bluetooth LE with a phone or tablet, or connect over USB. It works as a keyboard on Windows, Android, Linux and iOS devices.
• Walk around, upload later. In offline mode the scanner stores up to 128 tag records, so you can check a shelf or a room of equipment away from the PC and upload the records over USB back at the desk.
• Test the sample tags on your items. Fix labels to cartons, files, books or equipment and scan them at the distance staff will hold the scanner. The 0.9-inch OLED shows the tag type and ID of each read, and stays readable in strong light.

Where a 35 cm keyboard scanner fits, and where it does not

The UBR90H suits work done one item at a time: a billing or stock counter, an asset check-in desk, a library or records desk, a goods-in table. At these points a short read range is an advantage: it helps keep the read on the item in hand rather than on items further along the desk.

It is not a bulk or long-range reader. To count a whole shelf or tray in one pass, from further away, trial the MUBR01 Bluetooth reader kit or the CX1000 and CX1500N handheld kits. If you also need to write your own numbers into tags before they go on, the 103 desktop reader kit is the one for encoding.
