Long-range UHF RFID tag, 865–868 MHz, read range up to 10 m, Tag-U8-069

GTIN: 5906935201008 · SKU: Tag-U8-069

The Tag-U8-069 is a white, long-range UHF RFID tag in a PC housing, designed for harsh outdoor and industrial conditions. It works in the EU 865–868 MHz and US 902–928 MHz bands, has an NXP UCODE 8 chip and can be read from up to 10 m with a fixed reader and up to 5 m with a handheld reader. The IP68-rated housing with two mounting holes makes it well suited to tracking large metal objects and machinery in logistics, manufacturing, warehousing and fleet management.

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-U8-069 is a specialised tag — designed to work in harsh conditions, e.g. more resistant to high temperatures, shocks or water. Fasten it to the tracked object through the two mounting holes; the tag is designed for tracking metal objects and keeps a reliable reading range even when mounted directly on metal.

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​

What is the maximum reading range of the Tag-U8-069?
The reading range depends on the reader type: up to 10 m with a stationary UHF RFID reader and up to 5 m with a handheld reader. Actual range may vary depending on environmental conditions, antenna orientation and nearby metal surfaces.
Can the tag be used on metal surfaces?
Yes. The Tag-U8-069 is specifically designed for tracking metal objects. Its construction accounts for the detuning effect that metal surfaces have on standard RFID tags, maintaining reliable read performance even when attached directly to metal machinery or equipment.
Is the tag compatible with readers operating in both EU and US frequencies?
Yes. The tag supports both EU (865–868 MHz) and US (902–928 MHz) UHF RFID frequencies, making it globally compatible. You can use the same tag in different countries without any modifications.
