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.
Core Technology & Key Features
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
3D Omnidirectional Detection: Picks up tags from all angles, so no blind spots.
Infrared (IR) Trigger: Scans automatically whenever someone or something moves through, reducing missed reads to almost zero.
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
EMI Filtering: 30–1000 MHz to handle industrial electromagnetic noise.
Construction: Powder-coated steel with 8 mm acrylic, weighing about 38.5 kg.
Protection: IP54-rated, so it’s dustproof and splash-resistant. Perfect for industrial or demanding environments.
Integration & Expandability
Interfaces: RJ45 / RS-232. Plug and play with existing systems.
Relay Outputs: Three outputs for connecting door controls, alarms, or other IoT devices.
Development: RESTful and native APIs supported (Java, C#). Perfect for tying into ERP, LMS, or WMS.
Power & Efficiency
Adjustable power: 1–8 W depending on deployment.
Typical consumption: ≤30 W in operation, around 8 W standby.
Environmental Adaptability
Temperature: –20 °C to +60 °C
Humidity: 10–90%, non-condensing
Typical Applications
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.
Implementation Value & ROI
Reduce Loss: Real-time detection keeps losses down, especially in busy or high-density spaces.
Faster Inventory: Automatic logging saves time and labor compared to manual checks.
Flexible Integration: APIs and SDKs let you connect to LMS, ERP, WMS—or build custom alerts and dashboards.
Scalable: Single or multi-channel setups can cover multiple locations without a headache.
Deployment Tips
Survey First
Measure entrance width (at least 90 cm).
Check what kind of tags are in use.
Decide if LMS, ERP, or WMS integration is needed.
Installation & Calibration
Adjust IR sensors and antenna height/angle.
Configure alarm logic (EAS, AFI, DSFID).
Set power levels (1–8 W) for optimal coverage with minimal interference.
Integration & System Use
Push alerts and tag data to your management platform via API.
Keep event logs for analysis—monthly trends, unusual activity, etc.
Optionally, create custom interfaces in Java or C#.
Training & Maintenance
Train staff on alarm handling and calibration.
Maintain antennas, check relays, and keep software up to date.
