Introduction

 

Axzon's  innovative  technology  extends  the  use  of  RFID,  an  existing  radio  frequency  (RF) 
communication  standard,  to  wirelessly  sense  real-time  data  without  the  use  of  a  battery. The 
RFM5110/RFM5111  Starter  Kit  contains  everything  required  to  quickly  evaluate  Axzon

’s 

Smart 

Passive Sensors, or with a systems integrator seamlessly connect to various cloud platforms or 
custom applications. The complete system consists of the following items: 

Nordic ID Fixed Smart Reader (AR62 or AR82) 

Nordic ID readers communicate with tags and retrieve their sensor data. The fixed readers support 
multiple  antennas  and  provide  a  variety  of  connectivity  options.  Smart  readers  include  an 
integrated computer capable of supporting custom applications. For more information, refer to 
the  included  Datasheet  and  User  Guide  which  can  also  be  found  on  Nordic  ID's  support

Axzon ReaderService

 and WebUI 

ReaderService

™ is a microservice that optimizes and simplifies controlling readers so that Axzon's 

Smart  Passive  Sensors  are  measured  accurately  and  efficiently.  The  standard  interfaces  allow 
developers to focus on their end-user software instead of the complexities involved with RF and 
RFID. For more information, refer to the provided User Guide.

 

The WebUI allows for quick operation and configuration of ReaderService™ from a web browser 

running on a computer that has a network connection to the reader.

 

The software comes pre-installed on the smart reader and includes an evaluation license.

 

RF Antenna and Cable 

An ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID antenna and cable are designed to operate in all regulatory 
regions which covers the frequency range 865-965 MHz.  

Power Supply 

A DC 24V/1.25A wall adapter is included to power the reader. 

Sensors (sold separately) 

Each sensor tag is identified and tracked by a unique Electronic Product Code (EPC). Sensors come 
in several types and are designed to perform in a variety of environments. Refer to the sensor 
specific documentation for more information such as if the sensor should be placed on metal or 
on non-RF blocking material.
