Customized for iAutomate.com and home automation applications, this HA Edition of the L-RX202-HA Long Range RFID Reader is used in conjunction with Indigo Software and is specifically designed for detection (or absence) of people, vehicles, pets and personal assets. The  RFID Reader provides near field or long range coverage for real-time detection of people, pets, vehicles or anything else you can identify with one of the various RFID tags.

Key Improvements of the RX202-HA Reader:

• More Sensitive - Up to 30% increased range as compared to the L-RX201-HA
• New AGC Circuit prevents signal "flooding"
• Electronically fused inputs and outputs for better protection
• Can be configured via Micro-USB Port and Powered over USB for setup and testing
• New Aluminum enclosure provides better shielding.

The RX202-HA Reader communicates with Indigo using:

• An Apple MAC running OS X 10.6.8 or later with a 1.83 MHz Core Duo or faster processor, 2GB RAM, via a USB-Serial Adaptor (with FTDI Chipset) Running Indigo Software

Additional readers can be daisy chained to permit many readers on one CAT5 wire system. Each reader is range settable via software to adjust for the requirements of the room or application. Range adjustable antennas can be discretely hidden in walls, ceilings, and doorways to identify and track tag activity. The Reader can simultaneously read multiple RFID tags at ranges of up to 450 feet (with addition of optional antennas), and can also register and report the disappearance or unauthorized movement of individual RFID tags. This model is for use ONLY with Mac OS X Computers with Indigo Software. A FREE Indigo plug-in is included with the Installer Setup Kit.
