These days, libraries, archives, and industrial warehouses are under increasing pressure: assets need to be safe and accounted for, preferably in real time. That’s where the Cykeo CK‑T9HF comes in—a rugged, industrial-grade 13.56 MHz HF RFID gate designed exactly for this kind of work.
Frequency & Protocol Compatibility
The CK‑T9HF runs on 13.56 MHz HF RFID and works with ISO 15693 and ISO 18000‑3M1 (HF) tags. In practice? It handles a wide range of tags reliably—no fuss, no constant tweaking.

Read/Write Performance
It scans in real time, with an adjustable range from 0 to 90 cm, reading roughly 80–100+ tags per second. So whether it’s a dense bookshelf or a packed archive, it keeps up without missing a beat.
Smart Sensing & Triggers
Security & Alarm Features
Supports multiple security modes (EAS, AFI, DSFID, or hybrid). If an unauthorized item moves, it triggers an audible and visual alert immediately—RGB LED plus a 95 dB buzzer.
Built for Tough Environments

Power & Efficiency
Environmental Adaptability
Libraries & Public Spaces
CK‑T9HF is ideal at entrances and exits. It scans book tags in real time, flags any that haven’t been checked out, and alerts staff instantly. Data can also feed back to your LMS for logging, inventory checks, and loss prevention.
Archives & Document Storage
Archives often store highly sensitive documents. The CK‑T9HF’s high sensitivity, multi-tag scanning, and IR triggers mean files are monitored automatically as staff move through. EMI resistance and IP54 construction make it reliable even near metal cabinets or densely packed shelves.
Industrial & Manufacturing
In workshops or tool rooms, every tool or part matters. CK‑T9HF acts as a checkpoint—unauthorized items trigger alerts, and data is sent to your ERP or asset management system. Real-time inventory tracking, reconciliation, and usage analytics become much easier.
Retail & Exhibitions (High-Value Items)
High-value items like jewelry or small HF-tagged products? Place CK‑T9HF at exits. EAS alarms and dense tag scanning prevent theft, while also tracking flow and movements for operational insight.
