High-temperature stainless steel UHF RFID tag for metal surfaces, 865–868 MHz, Tag-H3-5600

GTIN: 5906935200889 · SKU: Tag-H3-5600

The Tag-H3-5600 is an exceptionally durable RFID tag built for harsh industrial conditions where high temperature resistance is required. Made of stainless steel, it can be used on metal surfaces and performs well at extreme temperatures of up to 260°C. The tag works in the UHF band at 865–868 MHz (EU) and 902–928 MHz (USA) and uses an Alien Higgs-3 / NXP UCODE 8 chip, enabling contactless identification from a long distance. With a reading range of up to 8.8 m and a waterproof housing, it is ideal for tracking large assets in open storage areas — a reliable solution for heavy industry and outdoor use.

General instructions​

Before using the RFID tags for the first time, read this manual carefully to make sure they have been installed and configured correctly.

RFID tag usage rules​

The Tag-H3-5600 is a specialised tag — designed to work in harsh conditions, e.g. more resistant to high temperatures, shocks or water. Mount it on a metal surface; the tag keeps its reading range on metal, where ordinary RFID tags lose it.

Protection against damage​

  • RFID tags are passive devices and need no power supply. Protect them against mechanical damage to keep them reliable.
  • Use specialised tags as intended and in suitable conditions to ensure they work correctly.

Protection against interference​

  • Electromagnetic interference: RFID tags can be susceptible to electromagnetic interference, so do not store or use them near strong sources of interference, such as electronic devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Reading data: to ensure optimal reading, store the tags so that nothing blocks the radio signal — for example, do not store them in metal containers that can interfere with the signal.

Maintenance and cleaning​

Store and operate specialised tags in line with the manufacturer's recommendations for use in harsh conditions.

Storage​

  • If the RFID tags will not be used for a long time, store them in a dry, cool place, away from strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Avoid storing the tags in places with extreme temperatures or humidity, or where they may be mechanically damaged, e.g. crushed.

Following these rules helps keep RFID tags safe to use and increases their durability and reliability.

Frequently asked questions​

Can the Tag-H3-5600 be mounted on metal surfaces?
Yes. The Tag-H3-5600 is specifically designed for use on metallic surfaces. Unlike standard RFID labels, its stainless steel construction and optimised antenna allow reliable reading even when the tag is directly attached to metal.
What temperature can the Tag-H3-5600 withstand?
The tag has an operating temperature range of −50°C to +260°C and can tolerate up to 300°C for up to 100 hours. This makes it suitable for autoclaves, industrial ovens, foundries, and high-temperature manufacturing processes.
What is the read range of the H3-5600?
The read range is up to 5.3 metres with a handheld UHF reader and up to 8.8 metres with a fixed (gate-type) reader. Actual range depends on environmental conditions, antenna orientation, and reader settings.
How many times can the tag be written to?
The H3-5600 supports up to 100,000 write cycles and retains stored data for up to 50 years, making it a long-term identification solution for high-value assets.
