Honeywell IH45-0-N001S00UK IH40 UHF RFID Accessory
The Honeywell IH45-0-N001S00UK is a genuine accessory engineered for the IH40 UHF RFID Reader series. This purpose-built component maintains full device compatibility and preserves OEM warranty coverage while supporting 24/7 multi-shift operations in warehouse, distribution, and field service environments.
Key Features
- IP54 Environmental Rating: Dust and moisture resistance in demanding warehouse conditions means this accessory won't fail from concrete dust, spills, or humidity swings — critical for operations running across outdoor receiving docks and indoor sorting areas without equipment swaps.
- Dual Connectivity (Bluetooth + USB): Wireless flexibility via Bluetooth for mobile workflows, plus wired USB stability for stationary integration — no need to source separate connection hardware or adapt between deployment scenarios.
- Built-in Infrared Capability: 6-meter infrared range extends usability into low-light zones within warehouses, enabling tag reads in dimly lit receiving areas or night-shift operations without additional lighting infrastructure.
- Night Vision Enabled: Low-light operation means you deploy a single accessory across dawn-to-dusk and third-shift cycles without swapping hardware or reconfiguring reader stations.
- Lightweight Design at 0.95 lbs: Minimal weight reduces fatigue during mobile inventory cycles and hand-held scanning routes — a real factor on multi-hour field service days where workers are moving between locations.
- PoE Class 1 Compatible: Draws minimal power via standard 802.3af PoE, preventing strain on switch power budgets and eliminating the need for dedicated power supplies in wired installations.
- Android OS Support: Seamless integration with Android-based mobile compute and reader platforms standardizes your software stack and simplifies cross-device application deployment.
Integration & Compatibility
This accessory is a certified fit for the Honeywell IH40 UHF RFID Reader family. Standardizing on genuine Honeywell accessories reduces compatibility risk compared to third-party alternatives, ensures consistent RFID read reliability across your reader fleet, and maintains OEM warranty coverage — a meaningful safeguard when RFID infrastructure underpins mission-critical inventory or asset tracking workflows.
Dual Bluetooth and USB connectivity means the IH45-0-N001S00UK (often searched as IH45 0 N001S00UK) integrates into both wired stationary installations and mobile field deployments without requiring separate connection modules or firmware branches.
When to Choose a Different Accessory
If your deployment requires submersion or full washdown (carwash, wet processing), evaluate higher IP-rated alternatives within the Honeywell IH40 accessory lineup — IP54 protects against splash and dust but not immersion. Similarly, if your read range requirements exceed 6 meters in near-total darkness, consult Honeywell's extended-range infrared accessory options for that family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the IH45-0-N001S00UK compatible with all Honeywell IH40 readers?
A: Yes, this is a genuine Honeywell accessory engineered for the full IH40 UHF RFID Reader series. Compatibility is guaranteed without firmware updates or bridge hardware.
Q: Can I use the IH45-0-N001S00UK outdoors year-round?
A: The IP54 rating handles dust and moisture splash. For outdoor deployments in heavy rain, snow accumulation, or direct jet-wash cleaning, verify environmental conditions against the IP54 specification — it provides splash resistance but not full waterproofing (IP67 or higher).
Q: Does the infrared range of 6 meters work in complete darkness?
A: Yes, the built-in infrared operates at 6 meters in no ambient light. Night vision capability enables reliable tag reads in low-light warehouse zones without external lighting.
Q: What's the warranty on the IH45-0-N001S00UK?
A: As a genuine Honeywell accessory, the IH45-0-N001S00UK carries OEM warranty coverage that preserves your IH40 reader's existing warranty — check your reader documentation or contact your authorized distributor for specific terms.
Q: Can I mix this accessory with third-party IH40 components?
A: While third-party alternatives may function, Honeywell genuine accessories are tested and certified for full IH40 compatibility. Mixing may void warranty coverage — standardize on OEM parts for mission-critical RFID infrastructure.
Q: Does PoE Class 1 power consumption mean the accessory will work on any PoE switch?
A: Yes, standard 802.3af PoE switches (minimum 15.4W per port) will support this accessory. No PoE+ or PoE++ upgrades needed, simplifying switch specifications in cost-conscious deployments.
The IH45-0-N001S00UK hits a practical sweet spot for mixed-environment RFID deployments. Most warehouse integrators overlook the weight and power efficiency; at 0.95 lbs and PoE Class 1 (standard 802.3af), this accessory doesn't force you into oversized switch infrastructure or ergonomic compromises on mobile scan routes — both matter when you're scaling from one distribution center to ten.
Technical Highlights:
- IP54 + 6m Infrared Range: Covers 80% of warehouse lighting conditions without dual-accessory deployments. The infrared operates in zero-ambient light, eliminating the false economy of attempting 24-hour operations with visible-light-only readers.
- Dual Connectivity (Bluetooth + USB): No forklift over wired feeds, no wireless dead zones inside metal-frame buildings. Choose per-location, not per-fleet.
- PoE Class 1 Draw: Sits comfortably under 15W, so a fully stocked 48-port 802.3af switch supports 40+ accessory instances without power exhaustion — arithmetic that changes deployment ROI.
Deployment Considerations:
- IP54 is splash-tolerant, not submersion-tolerant. If receiving docks see hose-down cycles, escalate to higher IP ratings in the IH40 family.
- 6-meter infrared range assumes clear line-of-sight to tags. Stacked pallets or dense racking with metal obstructions will reduce effective range — place reader stations accordingly, don't assume full range in every aisle.
Deploy the IH45-0-N001S00UK in mid-sized distribution operations running three shifts with mixed wired-station and mobile-scanner workflows. It avoids both the over-specification of industrial-grade RFID accessories (where IP67 + 15m range drives cost) and the under-specification of consumer-class components (where warranty gaps risk inventory accuracy). Real utility is in standardization — once you've certified this accessory across your IH40 fleet, procurement and support converge.
