Handheld UHF RFID Reader, Pistol Grip, 10 m+ Range: overview

The HD-130 is a pistol-grip Android handheld for high-volume UHF RFID work: full-site inventories, pallet and roll-cage checks, asset audits and yard counts. Its UHF engine outputs 0–33 dBm, reads beyond 10 m and handles more than 500 tags per second through a 4 dBi circularly polarized antenna.

The engine supports EPC Gen2 (ISO 18000-6C) and ISO 18000-6B and operates at 902–928 MHz or 865–868 MHz. Regional settings cover FCC markets such as the US and Canada, ETSI EN 302 208 markets in Europe, and Korea and Malaysia, so one hardware family serves both sides of the Atlantic.

A magazine-style 6000 mAh battery swaps without powering the reader down, so a count does not stop when a pack runs low. The body is cast aluminum with PC, rated IP64 and tested for 1.6 m drops, and the scan trigger is rated for 10 million presses. Android 6.0 runs on a quad-core processor of up to 1.8 GHz with 2 GB + 32 GB or 4 GB + 64 GB of memory, a 5.0-inch 1280 × 720 IPS screen that works with gloves, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS + GLONASS.

Integration notes

Choose HD-130-WF for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, or the 4G versions with a barcode engine: HD-130-EU-4G-Q for 865–868 MHz markets and HD-130-US-4G-Q for 902–928 MHz markets. Confirm LTE compatibility with your country before ordering. Android 6.0 is an older release, so validate your app on a demo unit and check current availability before committing to a fleet.

Where the HD-130 is used

  • Full-warehouse or distribution-center inventories reading hundreds of tagged cartons per second
  • Roll-cage, pallet and returnable-container checks at dock doors
  • Fixed-asset audits across large sites where tags sit high on racks or walls
  • Yard counts of tagged equipment and vehicles from a walking distance
  • Long shifts where a spare battery swap avoids downtime
Asset Tracking

RFID Asset & Tool Tracking

Build an RFID asset tracking system: on-metal, ceramic and tie-on tags matched to each asset, handheld audits, smart cabinets and IP67 HF heads for tooling.

HD-130 FAQ

How far does the HD-130 read UHF tags?

The specification quotes more than 10 m using its 4 dBi circular antenna at up to 33 dBm. Distance drops with small tags, tags on metal or liquids, and lower power settings.

Which version should I order for Europe or North America?

HD-130-EU-4G-Q for ETSI 865–868 MHz markets and HD-130-US-4G-Q for FCC 902–928 MHz markets such as the US and Canada. If you do not need cellular data, HD-130-WF is the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version.

Can I change the battery without shutting down?

Yes. The 6000 mAh battery uses a magazine-style hot-swap system, so a charged spare keeps the reader working through long counts.

Which Android version does it run?

Android 6.0 on a quad-core processor of up to 1.8 GHz. It is an older release, so test your app on a demo unit and confirm current availability before a large order.

Does it read ISO 18000-6B tags as well as EPC Gen2?

Yes. The UHF engine supports EPC Gen2 (ISO 18000-6C) and ISO 18000-6B.
