AWID XM-700-0-0 Mid Range UHF Reader, Gray
The AWID XM-700-0-0 fills the gap between short-range UHF door readers and full long-range vehicle readers. It is designed for applications where users need a practical mid-range read, such as a controlled doorway with high traffic, an access point with carts or wheelchairs, or a gate/pedestrian area where a short presentation distance is inconvenient.
This reader is commonly used with AWID UHF cards and tags and is often selected when a property wants one credential family for both people and vehicles. It should be treated as part of the AWID UHF ecosystem, not as a generic proximity reader. Power, cable, interface, output format, mounting environment and expected read pattern all need to match the site design.
Compatible With
Use with select AWID UHF access systems where a mid-range reader and compatible panel interface are required.
- AWID uAxcess UHF credential systems
- AWID UHF cards and tags including CS-UHF, GR-UHF, KT-UHF and related UHF credentials when format is supported
- Sites using AWID LR long-range readers that also need a mid-range pedestrian or access-point reader
- Access-control panels accepting Wiegand, OSDP and/or RS-232 data as configured for the reader
- Pedestrian gates, building entries, parking control points, industrial entrances and other controlled access points needing about 5 to 7 ft read range

Technician Note
Mid-range UHF readers can read farther than users expect. Aim the reader and set up the lane or doorway so it reads the intended credential, not another credential nearby.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the site uses AWID UHF credentials.
- Verify the desired read distance is appropriate for the opening.
- Check panel interface requirements: Wiegand, OSDP or RS-232 as applicable.
- Confirm power supply capacity and wiring path.
- Review mounting surface, nearby metal, lane layout and credential presentation direction.
Important Ordering Warnings
The XM-700 is not a full LR-3200 vehicle long-range reader and not a short mullion reader. Choose the reader based on the required read zone and site layout.
Professional Advisory
For new reader wiring, panel programming, access-control database changes, or uncertain site conditions, use a qualified access-control or gate technician. Do not bypass security controls or safety equipment to make a credential or reader appear to work.
Product Questions & Answers
How far can the XM-700 read?
It is commonly referenced for about 5 to 7 ft read range, depending on credential type, mounting, power, environment and reader setup.
Can it read the same UHF credentials as AWID gate readers?
It can be used with compatible AWID UHF credentials, but the credential format, reader frequency version and access-control setup must match.
Is this a good reader for a narrow door frame?
For a narrow frame, XR-3600 is usually the mullion-style UHF reader. XM-700 is larger and used when a mid-range read zone is needed.
What interface does the XM-700 use?
Common references list Wiegand/OSDP and RS-232 interfaces, but the actual site wiring and panel configuration should be confirmed before installation.
What can cause unwanted reads?
Read zone, reader aiming, nearby credentials, metal surfaces, reflective surfaces and mounting position can all affect how a mid-range UHF reader behaves.
