Overview of TS100 and TS100A

TS100 – Standard UHF Desktop RFID Reader

The TS100 is a UHF RFID desktop reader/writer designed for controlled reading within a limited range, helping to prevent accidental tag reads from nearby items. It is ideal for retail counters, asset control rooms, laboratories, and inventory management areas where precision is crucial.

TS100 supports USB and RS232 connections, making it compatible with ERP, POS, and warehouse management systems. Its flat, sleek surface enables quick, professional, and user-friendly operation.

 

TS100A – Enhanced Version with Multi-Tag Reading Capability

The TS100A is the advanced version of TS100, featuring anti-collision technology that allows it to read multiple tags simultaneously and write data to tags efficiently. It also offers flexible operating modes, including:

• Inventory Mode: Quickly identifies and counts multiple tags at once.

• Analysis Mode: Reads and analyzes detailed information from each tag.

• Deactivation Mode: Deactivates RFID tags to prevent reuse or fraudulent activity.

Thanks to these intelligent modes, TS100A is ideal for automation, retail, libraries, asset management, and high-value item identification.

Design and Key Features of the TS100 Series

Modern, Compact, and Easy-to-Integrate Design

The TS100 Series features a minimalist and functional design, with dimensions of approximately 220 × 150 × 30 mm, making it perfect for placement on or under counters. Its smooth surface allows effortless interaction when placing RFID-tagged items.

The housing is made of durable ABS plastic, offering scratch resistance and effective heat dissipation. The USB plug-and-play interface ensures seamless connectivity with Windows, Linux, and Android systems—no complex installation required.

Outstanding Reading Performance

• Operates within the UHF frequency range (865–928 MHz)

• High-speed identification in just a few milliseconds

• Effective reading distance of 0–30 cm, ensuring focused and accurate scanning

• Supports single or multiple tag reading (multi-tag) — available in TS100A

With its limited reading field, the TS100 Series effectively eliminates unwanted tag reads, making it highly reliable in environments where precision is critical, such as retail and asset tracking.
