Censys: UHF Reader
Censys User Guide March 2017 Version 1.0
Introduction
This user manual describes the features, specifications, and operation of the Censys UHF Reader from Brady
Corporation.
The Censys reader is a small, low cost, easy to install UHF RFID reader with wireless data transport to a an
application server. Its purpose is to provide a function similar to real time location system (RTLS) at reduced
complexity and cost using only passive tags. Model BCENSYS-1000 takes power from a 5V 2A USB interface
which can be provided using common plugin wall adapters or outlets with a properly rated USB port. Model
BCENSYS12-1000 can alternatively be powered from a 12-24V central power supply for longer power runs. Each
reader unit periodically scans its local area which is constrained by its read range performance. The UHF reader
sub system is an EPC Gen 2 and ISO 18000-63 compliant reader. The embedded software application notifies
the server of all tag events that occurred during the last scan cycle using a wireless network. A tag event may be
for example when a tag first enters the reader’s range. The wireless network is built upon WiFi and will typically
bridge to a wired Ethernet system to provide connectivity to the server. The server may also be cloud hosted.
The server and reader may also have two way communications using the wireless (and wired) network. A high
level block diagram is shown below.
The RFID Reader Kit is delivered with the following components and accessories:
