Hardware Independent
The portal is designed to
accommodate most RFID hardware
and antenna designs/configurations
giving the user the most scalable and
flexible solution.
Full Antenna Movement
Uses a proprietary antenna mount
that allows for full horizontal and
vertical movement anywhere along
the pole,dramatically improving read
rates of challenging products
Rugged Design
Powder-coated steel construction
provides a rugged structure that
will hold up against rust and other
structural degradation.
Custom Sizing
Although the portal is designed
to fit most dock doorways, the
structure can be ordered customized
for specific applications by our
engineering staff.
Easy Installation
The portal can be installed in under
30 minutes.
Easy Integration
The portal takes advantage of the
latest RFID integration systems to
allow easy integration into back-end
system infrastructures.

MOD3 Guardian®
Portals Options
MOD3 Bi-directional units are available for space-saving in-between doorways. One reader
can power four antennas, with two sets of antennas each reading in opposite directions.
A Bidirectional unit is made by bolting the Antenna Mount Kit onto the back of the Reader
Cabinet using four bolts. The unit footprint is 24 x 28 wide including covers.
Directional Motion Sensors: The portals take
advantage of the latest motion sensors to identify
the movement of pallets or other objects
in front of the portal and provide a digital signal to
the reader via GPIO input.
Light Stacks: Portals can be configured with a light
stack so that your RFID system may signal operators
to various success and error conditions, both
visually and audibly. Standard red, amber, green,
and alarm function.
Heavy-Connect: Instead of conduit, use Heavy-Connect piping
between the Reader Cabinet and Antenna Mount Kit in order to
mount overhead antennas. Cables must be cable-tied to the pole
for safety.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): UPS can be
included to condition power and protect the
sensitive electronic equipment in the event of a
power failure.
Bollards: 42 tall; 3 thick steel bollard with radius cap,
