About the CS203X
Integrated Antenna, Linux Powered, Run Custom Code, Long Read Range
Many applications only require one antenna to effectively read RFID tags. The CS203X includes an integrated circular polarized antenna with a read range up to 22meters (tag and environment dependent). The CS203X allows you to start reading RFID tags without running long coax cables to costly external antennas.
This read range enables fast inventory of items on pallets, warehouse shelves, moving vehicles, and other tagged items in business processes where fixed reader class performance is required.

CS203X Can Be Pole Mounted
Integrated Antenna
The CS203X includes a built in circular polarized antenna so setup is quick and easy.
Weatherproof
The CS203X is rugged and ready for outdoor use with an IP68 rating and waterproof antenna, power, Ethernet and serial connections.
Event Engine
The CS203X has a power event engine that enables advanced automation and no coding is required.
Flexible Coding Option
The CS203X supports the same API's as previous CSL readers and can run custom embedded code on a Linux platform.
Accessories
Choose the right accessory for you application.
We know each project has has different RFID tag reading requirements and environmental conditions. The CS203X is designed for indoor and outdoor use, for more rugged conditions consider are waterproof connectors. An external antenna can also be connected to the reader to expand the RFID tag reading area, we recommend the CS776 antenna.
All Accessories Below are Waterproof
Power Adapter
The waterproof power adapter has a special connector that can screw on tightly for a secure power connection.
Debug Serial Cable
The waterproof debug serial cable can be used to configure settings on the reader with an RS232 serial connection.
Ethernet Cable
The waterproof ethernet cable has a special connector that can screw on tightly to the CS203X to prevent water and moisture from getting into the reader.
GPIO Cable
The waterproof GPIO cable has a special connector that can screw on tightly to the CS203X to provide a secure connection.
Start Developing for the CS203x
The CS203X can support custom embedded code to run advanced logic right on the reader. You can code your own advanced tag filtering rules or even control external devices. See our example code on GitHub.
The CS203X can also support CSL HTTP/XML protocol with full event engine management, CSL Unified Protocol, LLRP Protocol, and MACH1.
