Siemens 6GT2813-1FA00 SIMATIC RF660H ETSI UHF Reader Module 865-868 MHz RFID Reader

The Siemens 6GT2813-1FA00 is a SIMATIC RF660H ETSI UHF RFID reader module operating in the 865 to 868 MHz band with a read range up to 1300 mm, and it must be paired with an RF160B basic device since it draws power and control through that unit rather than operating standalone. It supports EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-63 at up to 400 kbit/s.

Selection Notes

This is the ETSI-band reader head for the SIMATIC RF160B basic device, covering 865 to 868 MHz for European operation; it is not interchangeable with FCC-band variants built for the 902 to 928 MHz US allocation. Because it takes power and control system-internally from RF160B, it cannot be ordered as a standalone reader - the basic device is a required companion part, not an accessory. The 400 kbit/s multitag-capable link supports reading multiple transponders in the 1300 mm field at once, relevant for gate or portal reading rather than single-tag point checks.
