Product Features
Technical Overview
This RFID tag utilizes proven proximity technology, communicating with compatible readers via a 125 kHz radio frequency signal for quick and secure access authentication. The tag's internal antenna and chip are encapsulated within a solid PVC/PET casing, protecting the electronics from physical damage, moisture, and everyday wear. This design ensures consistent read performance and a long operational lifespan, which is critical for maintaining uninterrupted security protocols.
The ACA-ATR13 is a passive tag, meaning it requires no internal battery; it is powered by the electromagnetic field generated by the proximity reader during the authentication process. This results in a maintenance-free credential with no need for battery replacements or charging, reducing long-term ownership costs and administrative overhead.
