TronRFID Multi-linear RFID Portal

TronRFID Portals are designed for seamless integration into your RFID infrastructure, whether you're scanning single layer items or managing double stacked inventory. This guide provides detailed instructions for installation, reader attachment, and mounting options to ensure optimal performance and ease of use.

Choosing the Right Portal Configuration:

Both units include pre-drilled mounting points for popular RFID readers, no drilling or customization required.

Reader Options:

You can choose between two industry-leading RFID readers based on their operational requirements. Both options are fully compatible with TronRFID portals

Zebra FX9600

• Built for rugged, high-volume environments such as warehouses and manufacturing floors
• Offers exceptional read sensitivity and supports up to 4 antennas
• Ideal for dense tag populations, long-range reads, and harsh conditions
• Features multiple connectivity options including Ethernet and serial ports

Impinj R700

• Designed for modern, high-performance RFID applications

Using the Halo Kit for Antenna Extension and 360° Read Coverage

The Halo Kit is a specialized antenna extension system designed to enhance RFID portal performance by enabling 360° read coverage, including the ability to mount antennas on top of the portal.

Key Benefits of the Halo Kit:

Top-Mount Capability: The Halo Kit allows antennas to be mounted not just on the sides, but also on the top of the portal, ensuring overhead tag detection and eliminating blind spots.

 Ideal Use Cases:

• Mounting portals in overhead or ceiling configurations
• Scanning pallets, totes, or cartons with varied tag placement
• Ensuring complete tag capture in high-throughput environments
• Reducing missed reads in complex or metallic surroundings

Accessories & Integration:

TronRFID Portals support a range of accessories to enhance automation and visibility:

GPIO Integration for Accessory Control:

Most supported RFID readers (e.g., Impinj R700, Zebra FX9600) include GPIO ports that allow direct control of external devices:

Use Cases:

• Trigger stack lights for visual feedback
• Activate relays to control gates, alarms, or conveyors
• Receive input from sensors to initiate read cycles

Integration Tips:

• Use optically isolated relays or GPIO breakout boards for safe interfacing
• Refer to your reader’s GPIO pinout diagram for wiring instructions
• Ensure voltage compatibility between reader GPIO and accessory controller

Always power down the reader before connecting GPIO accessories to avoid damage.
