1 About this document
The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to commission the RFU62 x RFID
read/write device (UHF) quickly and easily and to achieve initial read results with
transponders.
The Quickstart is valid for the regional variants listed in the "Device overview" sec‐
tion: see Device overview, page 7.
For simplicity in this document, the RFU620-10xxx read/write device is referred to
as the RFU620, unless a clear distinction needs to be made between variants.
The Quickstart describes the commissioning process for an application with an
RFU620 in ambient temperature range 0 °C to +50 °C.
Device variant RFU620-10100 (Ethernet variant, regional assignment: Europe/
South Africa) is used as the basis for the examples given, based on its default.
The optional CDB620 connection module is used as an example for the industrial-
standard signal distribution of the RFU620. Other connection modules are avail‐
able. With the exception of the electrical connection, other device variants of the
RFU620 are commissioned in the same way.

2 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 before commissioning the device in order to
familiarize yourself with the device and its functions. The Quickstart is con‐
sidered a part of the device and must be kept in an accessible location in
the immediate vicinity of the device at all times!
• For country-specific particulars to consider when operating the device,
Operational restrictions, page
WARNING
Health hazard as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation!
The RFU620-10 x00 (region: Europa/South Africa) is designed for operation in
accordance with ETSI EN 302208. During operation, the human exposure
regulations covered by EN 50364 must be observed.
Limit human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Suitable safety dis‐
b
tances must be maintained during both short-term and long-term work
in the radiation range of the integrated antenna. Minimum distances to
be maintained between the antenna and the human body during long-
term transmission: 10 cm and maximum radiation power of the antenna
of 250 mW (24 dBm) as per ETSI.
The RFU620-10 x01 (region: USA/Canada/Mexico) satisfies the limit values of
the FCC for exposure to radiation in an uncontrolled environment.
During operation, a safety distance of at least 20 cm must be main‐
b
tained between the antenna and the human body.

To safeguard IP67 or IP65 enclosure rating during operation, the following
•
requirements must be met: If this is not done, the device does not fulfill any
specified IP enclosure rating.
° The side cover of the USB female connector and the microSD card slot
must be screwed tight to the device. Recommended tightening torque
for the cover screws: 60 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.
° The SICK cables plugged into the M12 connections must be screwed
tight.
° Any electrical connections that are not being used must be fitted with
protective caps or plugs that are screwed tight (as in the delivery condi‐
tion).
° 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‐
e n
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.
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 RFU620 read/write device is an intelligent SICK-4 Dpro sensor from the
RFU62 x product family. The device is used for the automated, fixed identification
of wireless-based data cards on moving or stationary objects and their manage‐
ment.
As a compact read/write device, the RFU620-10xxx has an internal antenna that
is integrated into the housing. It processes all standard passive transponders in
accordance with ISO/IEC 18000-6C and EPCglobalUHF C1G2 in the regional UHF
carrier frequency range. Thanks to its intelligent process logic, it can be used
either as a stand-alone solution or as part of a group in a network. The
RFU620 uses its host interface to transmit the read results to an overriding com‐
puter for further processing or it can receive corresponding commands for manag‐
ing the data card (read, write, etc.) via the interface.
Intended use also includes compliance with all information in this Quickstart and
the supplementary RFU62x RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instructions.
The RFU62 x-101 xx product family consists of 3 variant series which are distin‐
guished by the data interface and the designs of the electrical connection,
for example:
RFU620-101xx: Ethernet variant with integrated heating for ambient temper‐
•
atures as low as –40 °C
RFU620-104 xx: Serial variant
•
• RFU620-105 xx: PoE variant (PoE: Power-over-Ethernet)
Each device variants series contains variants for regional assignment (operating
license and the carrier frequency range),

3.4 Mounting the RFU620
1. Select a suitable mounting location for the RFU620. The mounting location
and position depend on the antenna field of the RFU620 and the transpon‐
ders used.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
