IOTELLIGENT ZK8201 RFID Read or Write Modul

Product Information
The ZK8201V1.0 ZK8201 RFID Read/Write Module is a device that allows for reading and writing data using RFID technology. It operates on the EPC C1G2 ISO18000-6C GB/T29768-2013 air interface protocol. The module has one SMA antenna interface (female) and an output power range of 0 to 30dBm with an accuracy of +/-1dB. It operates at a frequency band of 902 to 928 MHz for FCC and 840 to 845 MHz for China. The module is equipped with a 3.3V TTL UART communication interface and has a compact size of 62mm * 40mm * 12mm. It requires a DC power supply of 5V and has a power-saving mode to reduce power consumption. The module also provides ESD protection and is designed to be shock-proof. It can operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Ensure that the module is stably fixed to the structure of the main machine and properly grounded.
2. Before turning on the power, check if the antenna port is connected to the load.
3. Ensure that the antenna standing wave is better than 2.0.
4. Maintain a distance of at least 50cm between the user and the product when in use.
5. For FCC compliance, follow the FCC standards: FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.249.
6. For installation, meet the IEC requirements for shock-proofing.
7. In case of harmful interference with radio or television reception, try the following measures:
   • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
   • Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

ZK8201 RFID Read/Write Module Specification
The ZK8201 module is a single-channel UHF RFID module, developed by Iotelligent based on its own iBAT2000 chip. The module is specially designed to meet the needs of high-end RFID desktop label printers. The ZK8201 module provides one SMA antenna interface and 30dBm RF power output. While maintaining high-cost efficiency, this module achieves high integration, low power consumption, excellent performance, stability, and reliability, and has excellent anti-hamming ability. It is the preferred choice for high-performance/cost-effective UHF RFID desktop equipment.

Operation instructions

The module must be stably fixed to the structure of the main machine and ensure good grounding;

• Before turning on the power, please carefully check whether the antenna port has been connected to the load;
• Antenna standing wave is recommended to be better than 2.0.
