ACTAtek Integration
The UHF Reader connects to the ACTAtek terminal via RS485 interface. This setup enables:
UHF vehicle access control schema with ACTAtek terminal and gate barrier
Car park access — vehicles trigger gate/barrier when UHF tag is read within range
Multi-factor authentication — combine UHF long-range read with biometric or PIN at the ACTAtek terminal
Asset tracking — track high-value equipment or vehicles in real time
AMS event logging — every UHF access event is logged with timestamp, user ID, and access method
Installation Notes
- Mount the UHF Reader at the entry/exit point, ensuring a clear line of sight to passing vehicles/tags.
- Adjust RF power (0–30 dBm) to set the appropriate read range for your lane width.
- Connect UHF Reader to the ACTAtek terminal via RS485 cable.
- Power the UHF Reader via DC +9V to +15V supply.
- Configure UHF reader parameters in ACTAtek device settings.
- Test reading range with a sample EPC Gen2 tag before final mounting.
