OVERVIEW For RAIN RFID users who need a fixed-mount reader with reliable performance, simple deployment, and flexible IoT integration Impinj R510 is a high-performance RAIN RFID reader that easily connects to enterprise applications. Unlike Speedway readers, the Impinj R510 reader provides high speed enterprise connectivity with modern developer tools. Unlike Impinj R700 readers, the Impinj R510 reader provides lower read sensitivity at a price comparable to Speedway R220.

2.3 RFID Table 4: Impinj R510 RFID Specifications Specification Description Air Protocol EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 v2 / ISO 18000-63 RFID Transmit Power 1 10 – 30 dBm (PoE) 10 – 33 dBm (PoE+) Transmit Power Resolution 0.25 dB Transmit Power Accuracy 0.
Receive Sensitivity The receive sensitivity of the Impinj R510 varies depending on the RF mode chosen to perform Inventory. Applications that require the lowest (i.e. best) receive sensitivity should choose Dense Reader M8 mode. Receive sensitivity can be measured with various methods. To best inform partners, we define a Max, Typical, and Minimum receive sensitivity values below. Note: receive sensitivity can degrade up to 3 dB as Tx power increases from +30dBm to +33dBm.
GPIO The Impinj R510 utilizes a Phoenix Contact 9 position 3.81 mm pitch header to expose the GPIO signals. To connect external signals, a matching terminal block must be installed. Pin 1 is located nearest the push-pin factory reset button.
