Newly-developed TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC LF HF - Elatec
December 13, 2022
Elatec continues the success story of the versatile TWN4 MultiTech LEGIC readers and writers. Compared to its predecessor, the TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC LF HF once again offers significantly improved performance in high-frequency reading power. This gives users virtually unlimited options in their choice of transponders.
The new TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC allows reading and writing of almost all 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz tags and/or labels. During the development of the multifrequency reader, Elatec focused on optimizing the HF read performance (13.56 MHz). As a result, it was possible to significantly increase the average read range of HF transponders—even doubling it for some models.
The reader supports more than 60 transponder technologies, including all major transponders from various manufacturers such as ATMEL, EM, ST, NXP, TI, HID and LEGIC, as well as ISO standards such as ISO14443A/B (T=CL), ISO15692 and ISO18092/ECMA-340 (NFC). This gives users maximum flexibility in their choice of wireless technologies.
The high-performance reader can be used for a wide range of applications. The spectrum of uses ranges from secure printing and single sign-on to gaming, machine authentication and authentication on fitness equipment, right through to charging stations for electric vehicles. If required, individual configuration of the TWN4 MultiTech 2 is possible—for example, in the form of customer-specific inlays or the installation of different cable lengths.
The reader combines new capabilities with the proven features of the TWN4 MultiTech series. It has the same form factor (OEM PCB and desktop housing) as the predecessor model, as well as two on-board SAM (Secure Access Module) slots. In addition, it supports contactless (re)programming and can be customized at the factory and in the field using Elatec software tools. The reader thus offers maximum flexibility.
TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC LF HF / TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC M LF HF
Elatec’s TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF is a contactless RFID reader/writer and a direct enhancement of the TWN4 MultiTech LEGIC with the same mechanical dimensions (OEM PCB and Desktop Housing). During the development of the TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF, special emphasis was placed on optimizing the HF performance (13.56 MHz).
Compared to the predecessor TWN4 MultiTech LEGIC, the read range could be increased on average by more than 50% for LEGIC transponders and even doubled for some HF transponders.TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF also supports all major transponders from various suppliers like ATMEL, EM, ST, NXP, TI, HID, LEGIC, and ISO standards like ISO14443A/B (T=CL), ISO15692 and ISO18092/ECMA-340 (NFC).

About the MultiTech 2 LEGIC Family (TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC LF HF / TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC M LF HF)
Elatec’s TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF is a contactless RFID reader/writer and a direct enhancement of the TWN4 MultiTech LEGIC with the same mechanical dimensions (OEM PCB and Desktop Housing). During the development of the TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF, special emphasis was placed on optimizing the HF performance (13.56 MHz). Compared to the predecessor TWN4 MultiTech LEGIC, the read range could be increased by more than 50% for LEGIC transponders and even doubled for some HF transponders.
Key features of the TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF include a powerful SDK for writing Apps which are executed directly on the reader, infield upgradeable firmware, direct chip-commands support, and additional interfaces for the OEM PCB version. TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF simultaneously reads more than sixty RFID technologies from both the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) bands, including NFC. This provides the option to select as many of the technologies required instead of being forced to select just a few like most other readers.
TWN4 MultiTech 2 LEGIC (M) LF HF also supports all major transponders from various suppliers like ATMEL, EM, ST, NXP, TI, HID, LEGIC, and ISO standards like ISO14443A/B (T=CL), ISO15692 and ISO18092/ECMA-340 (NFC).
