GENERAL DESCRIPTION

(1)

HITAG
product lines of our 125 kHz family. The HITAG product
family is used both in the proximity area (operating range
up to approximately 200 mm) and in the long range area
(operating range up to approximately 1000 mm).

is the nameof one of the universal and powerful

Developing our HITAG products, utmost consideration
was given to security and reliability. The use of
cryptography guarantees highest data security.

The central part of every HITAG read and write device is
the HITAG core module, which ensures full compatibility
for every HITAG read and write device.

To give you the possibility for an easy and quick start with
ourHITAGproductsweofferaHITAGproximityevaluation
kit. Easy application certainly is an important factor in
making the proximity evaluation kit suitable for evaluation
purposes. You will be able to present your ideas and
demonstrate the performance of your system with thehelp
of the HITAG evaluation kit.

The HTEV400 supports both HITAG 1 and HITAG 2
products. However, the HTEV400 does NOT support the
anticollision feature of HITAG 1.
