Reader identity and deployment fit
The 6GT2831-6CA60 is a SIMATIC RF1000 Access Control Reader from the RF1040R family — a dual-frequency unit covering LF 125 kHz (HITAG 1/2/S, EM41xx) and HF (ISO 14443 A/B, ISO15693) in one housing, with an integrated antenna and a 1.8 m USB connecting cable plus RS232 interface. The IP65 front rating means the reader face is sealed against hose-directed water and dust ingress, making it suitable for gate, door, or turnstile installations where the electronics are panel-mounted behind a cutout and the front face takes weather or washdown exposure.
