Versatile RFID transponders
The new Ha-VIS RFID VT 86 (HT) from Harting is an RFID transponder that combines robustness, a high protection class and resistance to the effects of high temperatures and chemicals to achieve optimal performance in difficult environments.
Meeting the regulatory requirements for operation in both the EU and the US/ASIA frequency bands (865-868 MHz and 902-928 MHz, respectively), the new transponder is suited to on-site applications in maintenance, repair and operational scenarios in industrial environments.
It also meets the increasing need in integrated industrial plants for RFID transponders that are capable of recording and storing extra information: for example, the documentation of the maintenance history of a safety-critical object.
The new unit measures only 41 × 11 × 5.15 mm, incorporates a user memory of up to 3 kbit capacity, and has a range of up to 5 m when mounted on metal. It is EPC Class 1 Gen 2 compatible, and has an operating temperature range of -50°C to +160°C.
