The Lepton9 (Model R9100C) from CAEN RFID is a 1-Port RAIN RFID Reader Module for low power, high performance RAIN RFID applications. It provides programmable output power from 10 mW to 1 W and can detect tags at a distance of more than 5 m (depending on antenna and tag dimensions). The module is based on the Impinj E910 chipset that provides fast reading speeds and enables application in the dense reader and dense tag environments. It has low-power consumption and is designed for easy integration in battery powered devices. This reader module requires a DC supply from 4.75 to 5.25 V, consumes 1.4 A of current under operation, and 5 mA of current in idle mode.
The Lepton9 (Model R9100C) operates from 865.6 to 867.6 MHz and 902 to 928 MHz and has an Rx sensitivity of -90 dBm. It supports 4 channels (compliant to ETSI EN 302 208 v. 3.3.1) and 50 hopping channels (compliant to FCC part 15.247). This reader module features UART serial ports for connectivity. It complies to the EPC Class1 Gen2, ISO 18000-63, and is available in versions for both European and US regulatory environments, making it ideal for the integration of devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions. The module is available in a surface-mount package that measures 32.0 x 29.0 x 4.1 mm and is suitable for voice-operated devices, point-of-sale readers, multi-regional label printers and applicators, and handheld applications.
