Oct. 3, 2005
The R90 comes complete with auto-tuning enabling more consistent read ranges

HID’s R90 Long Range Reader expands HID’s iCLASS 13.56 MHz contactless smart card reader family as the industry’s first, self-contained long range reader that meets multiple international regulatory standards targeted for installations incorporating parking applications with access control. It combines a longer read range with enhanced security through encryption and mutual authentication standard with HID iCLASS 13.56 MHz contactless smart card products.

The R90 comes complete with auto-tuning enabling more consistent read ranges and a “Parking Hold” function that allows connection to a loop detector to ensure accurate detection of vehicles in parking lanes. Featuring a tamper switch, all electronics are packaged in a single, rugged, indoor/outdoor, easy-to-install housing that mounts on metal with minimal read range impact. In addition, two R90s can operate simultaneously for “HI-LO” truck/car installations. Audio indicators include tone sequences, while a multicolor LED flashes from red to green with a beeper sound when a valid card is presented.
