Feig ISC.LRU1002-EU UHF Long Range RFID Reader

The FEIG Electronic ID ISC.LRU1002-EU (MPN: 4127.001.00) is an UHF long-range reader engineered for harsh operational environments, automated manufacturing plants, logistics gantries, and marine shore/vessel intermodal terminal systems. Operating strictly within the European telecommunications band (865 MHz to 868 MHz) in accordance with ETSI EN 302 208, the LRU1002-EU delivers up to 2.0 Watts (33 dBm) RF output power across four internal multiplexed 50-ohm SMA-Female antenna channels.

Build with an advanced high-sensitivity receiver architecture, real-time RSSI signal strength tracking, carrier phase angle calculation, and on-board cryptographic key hardware (Secure Element for NXP UCODE DNA and ISO 29167 ciphers), this system excels in environments prone to multi-path reflections and electromagnetic congestion. Encased in a rugged die-cast aluminum housing rated to IP53 (upgradeable to IP64 via specialized cable gland sealing caps), the ISC.LRU1002-EU withstands severe continuous thermal cycling, transient line spikes, and mechanical vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum read distance of the FEIG ISC.LRU1002-EU?

The reader delivers a maximum reliable read range of up to 12 meters (approx. 40 feet). The practical read field is dictated by antenna gain (e.g., 8.5 dBi patch), coaxial cable attenuation, tag transponder dimensions, and the surface composition (metal/liquid presence) of the tagged asset.

Can the ISC.LRU1002-EU operate within North America or the US?

No. The ISC.LRU1002-EU is factory-calibrated for the European ETSI frequency band between 865.6 MHz and 867.6 MHz. For deployments in the United States, Canada, or other FCC-governed regions, use model ID ISC.LRU1002-FCC (MPN: 4128.001.00), which operates between 902 MHz and 928 MHz.

Can all four antenna ports transmit simultaneously?

No. Standard multi-port UHF readers utilize an integrated high-speed electronic RF switch (multiplexer). The LRU1002 sweeps through enabled antenna channels sequentially. You can configure individual dwell times, RF output powers, and target tag populations per antenna port through the FEIG ISO Host software or configuration parameters.

Does the reader directly switch 230V AC warning sirens or gate motors?

No. The on-board relays are dry-contact, low-voltage outputs rated for a maximum of 24 V DC at 1.0 A switching current. To switch line-level AC motors, stack lights, or hydraulic barrier solenoids, use the reader’s 24 V relay outputs to drive an intermediate industrial DIN-rail interposing contactor or safety relay.

How does the Config-Cloning feature work in the field?

The reader supports automated USB configuration cloning via its USB mini-port. Maintenance technicians can export all network parameters, power levels, and filter arrays from a master reader onto a standard USB flash drive. Plugging the flash drive into a replacement or secondary unit clones the setup automatically without requiring a laptop or network discovery tool on site.
