About this document

The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to commission the RFU630-131xx

RFID read/write device (UHF) quickly and easily and to achieve initial read results

with transponders.
The Quick Start Guide is valid for all the regional radio device variants listed: 

see

Device overview, page 8

.

In the following, the Quick Start Guide refers to the RFU630-131xx (UHF) RFID

read/write device simply as “device”. If variants are to be differentiated in the

regional assignment, the respective device name RFU630-131

xx

 is specified (xx =

regional assignment).
The Quickstart describes the commissioning process for an application with 

one

device in an ambient temperature range 0 °C to +60 °C.
Commissioning is carried out as an example for the RFU630-13100 device vari‐

ant (Europe region and other countries if necessary, 

see Device overview,

page 8

). The basis is the basic parameter setting of the device. The optional

CDB650-204 connection module handles the industrial-standard signal distribu‐

tion for the device. Other connection modules are available.

Supplementary and other relevant documents

Information, such as application examples and downloads of associated docu‐

ments (e.g. operating instructions) and software, can be found on the SICK prod‐

uct page on the Internet at

. For an overview 

see Sources

for obtaining more information, page 9

 in this Quick Start Guide.

More detailed information on mounting and electrically installing the device as a

stand-alone unit than provided in this Quickstart is available in the RFU63x/65x

RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instructions. The operating instructions

add the following information to the Quick Start Guide:

Requirements and notes for mounting and electrical installation at operating

ambient temperatures below 0 °C

For applications in widely distributed systems: Notes on the suppression of

ground potential equalizing currents

Safety information

This chapter is dedicated to the safety of commissioning personnel and the

operator of the system in which the device is integrated.

Read this Quickstart carefully to familiarize yourself with the device and its

functions before commissioning the device. The Quickstart is considered a

part of the device and must be kept in an accessible location in the immedi‐

ate vicinity of the device at all times!

The radiated power of the optional external antenna(s) used must not

exceed the maximum value permitted for each specific country, 

see Techni‐

cal data, page 6

 and 

see Device overview, page 8

.

Electromagnetic radiation

WARNING

Health hazard as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation!

The 

RFU630-13100

 device (Europa region and possibly other countries) is

designed for operation in accordance with ETSI EN 302208. During operation

with the integrated antenna and/or the external 

RFA630-x00

 antennas (Europa

region and possibly other countries), the human exposure regulations cov‐

ered by EN 50364 must be observed.

Limit human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Suitable safety dis‐

tances must be maintained during both short-term and long-term work

in the radiation range of the antennas. Minimum distances to be main‐

tained between the antenna and the human body during long-term

transmission:

°

30 cm at maximum antenna radiation power of 2 W ERP

°

15 cm at reduced radiation power of 1 W ERP

°

10 cm at radiation power of 0.5 W ERP

The 

RFU630-13101

 device (USA region and possibly other countries) satisfies

the limit values of the FCC for exposure to radiation in an uncontrolled envi‐

ronment.

During operation with the integrated antenna and/or the external

RFA630-x01

 antennas (USA region and possibly other countries), a safety

distance of at least 30 cm must be maintained between the antenna

and the human body.

Conditions for specified enclosure rating

To ensure compliance with the IP67 enclosure rating of the device during

operation, the following requirements must be met. If these requirements

are not met, the device does not fulfill any specified enclosure rating.

°

The joint side cover for the USB interface and the memory card slot is

screwed tightly onto the device. Recommended tightening torque for

the cover screws: 40 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.

°

The cables plugged into the electrical M12 and TNC connections are

screwed tight.

°

Any unused M12 connections must be sealed with screw-on protective

caps (for male connectors) or plugs (for female connectors) as sup‐

plied.

°

Unused connections for external antennas must be sealed with metal

screw-on protective caps as supplied.

°

Only operate the device without a cover for a short period while insert‐

ing or removing the memory card or temporarily using the USB inter‐

face. During this time, protect the device against moisture and dust.

Opening the screws of the device housing will invalidate any warranty claims

against SICK AG. For further warranty provisions, see the General Terms and

Conditions of SICK AG, e.g. on the delivery note of the device.

Standard IP technology

NOTE

SICK uses standard IP technology in its products. The emphasis is

placed on availability of products and services.
SICK always assumes the following prerequisites:

The customer ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the data

and rights affected by its own use of the aforementioned products.

In all cases, the customer implements the appropriate security

measures, such

 

as network separation, firewalls, virus protection,

and patch management.

2.1 Intended use

The RFU630-131xx RFID read/write device (UHF) is an intelligent 4Dpro sensor

from the RFU6xx product family. Version (working range): Long Range.
The stationary device automatically identifies wireless-based data cards

(transponders) on stationary and moving objects. The device also supports data

card management.
The compact read/write device has an (internal) antenna integrated in the hous‐

ing and additionally allows up to 3 external antennas to be connected. The device

processes the data of all standard passive transponders in accordance with

ISO/IEC 18000-6C and EPCglobal UHF C1G2 in the regional UHF carrier frequency

range.
Intelligent process logic enables processing either as a stand-alone solution or as

part of a group in a network with several devices. The device sends the read

results to a higher-level computer (e.g. PLC) via its host interface. The computer

coordinates further processing of the data in the process.
The device receives corresponding commands for data card management (write,

read, etc.) via its host interface.
Device variants refer to the region assignment, 

see Device overview, page 8

.

NOTE

The device approval was granted for a specific region. The region assignment

cannot be changed.

Only use the device in the region and the country for which it has been

approved.

When reselling the device, inform the buyer of the fixed region assign‐

ment.

Should the device be passed on to a third party, these operating instruc‐

tions and the Quick Start Guide should be handed over with it.

For country-specific particulars to consider when operating the device,

see Operational restrictions, page 8

 and 

Connection of external UHF

antennas, page 8

.

Intended use also includes compliance with all information in this Quickstart and

the supplementary RFU63x/65x RFID read/write devices (UHF) operating instruc‐

tions.
