Last Update: 

ProxiPen
The New Compact Reader for RFID Tags
The ProxiPen is a new generation data acquisition unit for reading radio frequency (RFID) tags and other transponders automatically without any operating elements on the reader.  It is compact, lightweight and easy to handle.

The electronics of the ProxiPen are potted in a shock resistant plastic housing, making the reader completely waterproof and resistant against heat, shocks and hydrocarbons.

The low power consumption of the electronic circuit requires only one size AA commercial akaline, lithium or rechargeable battery, which can be replaced without any special tools.  In conjunction with the memory capacity, the device can be used in the field without intermediate read outs.

Easy Working

TopGuard "plug and play" communication and evaluation software is easy to use and requires only basic knowledge of Windows to set up the ProxiPen, create master files and evaluate collected data.  The report generator provides a comprehensive evaluation report telling who did what, where and when.

TopGuard software is included with each Proxipen Kit
