Standalone UHF RFID Access Controller, Bluetooth, IP66: overview
The LR-150 combines a long-range UHF RFID reader and an access controller in one IP66 housing. It holds up to 5,000 users, decides by itself whether a tag is authorized and operates its lock-control output, so a small car park or gated driveway can run without a separate controller cabinet.
The same unit can also run in reader mode. In that role it passes tag IDs over Wiegand or RS485 to an existing access or parking controller, which suits sites that plan to centralize control later. A TCP/IP port links it to management software on the LAN, and the unit also supports offline operation.
Bluetooth (BLE 5.1) handles door release at roughly 0–3 m as well as configuration, and a USB port is available for setup. Inventory speed peaks at 200 tags per second, and a status LED with seven selectable colors shows the reader state to drivers and guards.
Two panel sizes are available: a 309 × 309 mm unit for 2–10 m and a 445 × 445 mm unit for 10–20 m. Each comes in an EU 865–868 MHz version and a US version covering the 902–928 MHz band, which ships set to 902–906 MHz and can be adjusted in the configuration tool.
Integration notes
Power from 9–15 V DC. At 12 V the controller draws up to 500 mA on standby and up to 1500 mA while working, so allow at least 1.5 A per unit. Quoted distances come from handheld card tests; run a site test with your windshield tags before fixing the mounting position. The front carries a printed vehicle icon.

Where the LR-150 is used
- Single-gate residential driveway or small car park run without a separate controller
- Private estate entrance where residents use windshield tags and visitors are released by Bluetooth
- Remote depot gate that must keep granting access when the network link drops
- Phased upgrade: start standalone, then switch to reader mode under a central parking controller
Apartment, Multifamily & Rental Property Access Control
Apartment building access control hardware: anti-clone readers with matched fob sets, QR visitor codes, 4G controllers for rentals and UHF tags for gates.
LR-150 FAQ
Do I need a separate access controller?
Not for a single gate. In standalone mode the LR-150 stores up to 5,000 users, checks each tag and operates the lock control itself. Switch to reader mode to send Wiegand or RS485 data to an existing controller instead.
What happens if the network goes down?
The unit supports offline operation, so users stored on the device can still be checked while the TCP/IP connection is unavailable.
How does Bluetooth unlocking work?
The controller supports Bluetooth door release over BLE 5.1 at about 0–3 m, depending on installation. Tell us which management platform or app you plan to use so we can confirm compatibility before you order.
Which panel size should I order?
The 309 mm unit covers 2–10 m for single lanes and short driveways; the 445 mm unit covers 10–20 m for wider vehicle gates. Both offer the same modes and interfaces.
What supply current is needed?
At 12 V the controller draws up to 500 mA on standby and up to 1500 mA while working, so use a 9–15 V DC supply rated for at least 1.5 A.
