IOTELLIGENT ZK8201 RFID Read or Write Modul
Product Information
The ZK8201V1.0 ZK8201 RFID Read/Write Module is a device that allows for
reading and writing data using RFID technology. It operates on the EPC C1G2
ISO18000-6C GB/T29768-2013 air interface protocol. The module has one SMA
antenna interface (female) and an output power range of 0 to 30dBm with an
accuracy of +/-1dB. It operates at a frequency band of 902 to 928 MHz for FCC
and 840 to 845 MHz for China. The module is equipped with a 3.3V TTL UART
communication interface and has a compact size of 62mm 40mm 12mm. It
requires a DC power supply of 5V and has a power-saving mode to reduce power
consumption. The module also provides ESD protection and is designed to be
shock-proof. It can operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.
Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure that the module is stably fixed to the structure of the main machine and properly grounded.
- Before turning on the power, check if the antenna port is connected to the load.
- Ensure that the antenna standing wave is better than 2.0.
- Maintain a distance of at least 50cm between the user and the product when in use.
- For FCC compliance, follow the FCC standards: FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.249.
- For installation, meet the IEC requirements for shock-proofing.
- In case of harmful interference with radio or television reception, try the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
ZK8201 RFID Read/Write Module Specification
The ZK8201 module is a single-channel UHF RFID module, developed by
Iotelligent based on its own iBAT2000 chip. The module is specially designed
to meet the needs of high-end RFID desktop label printers. The ZK8201 module
provides one SMA antenna interface and 30dBm RF power output. While
maintaining high-cost efficiency, this module achieves high integration, low
power consumption, excellent performance, stability, and reliability, and has
excellent anti-hamming ability. It is the preferred choice for high-
performance/cost-effective UHF RFID desktop equipment.
Operation instructions
The module must be stably fixed to the structure of the main machine and ensure good grounding;
- Before turning on the power, please carefully check whether the antenna port has been connected to the load;
- Antenna standing wave is recommended to be better than 2.0.

Integral antenna with antenna gain -24.67dBi
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with he instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This modular complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating
