1 About this document
The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to commission the RFU630-041xx
RFID read/write device (UHF) quickly and easily and to achieve initial read results
with transponders.
The Quickstart is valid for the regional radio variants listed in the "Device
overview" section: see Device overview, page
In the following, the Quickstart refers to the RFU630-041xx (UHF) RFID read/write
device simply as "device". If variants are to be differentiated in the regional
assignment, the respective device name RFU630-041xx 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 RFU630-04100 device vari‐
ant (Europe region and other countries if necessary,
page 7. 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 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: www.sick.com/RFU63x. For an overview
for obtaining more information, page 8
More detailed information on mounting and electrically installing the device as a
stand-alone unit than provided in this Quickstart is available in the RFU630-041xx
RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instructions. The operating instructions
add the following information to the Quickstart:
• 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
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 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 external antenna(s) used must not exceed the
maximum value permitted for each specific country,
page 5 and see Device overview, page
Electromagnetic radiation
WARNING
Health hazard as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation!
The RFU630-04100 (Europa/South Africa region and possibly other countries)
is designed for operation in accordance with ETSI EN 302208. During opera‐
tion with the external RFA630-x00 antenna(s), 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 external antenna(s).
Minimum distances to be maintained between the antenna and the
human body during long-term transmission according to ETSI:
° 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 RFU630-04101 (USA/Canada region and possibly other countries) satis‐
fies the limit values of the FCC for exposure to radiation in an uncontrolled
environment.
During operation with external RFA630-x01 antenna(s), a safety distance
b
of at least 30 cm must be maintained between the antenna and the
human body.

To comply with the IP67 enclosure rating in operation, the following require‐
•
ments must be met. If this is not done, the device does not fulfill any speci‐
fied IP enclosure rating.
° The side cover for both the USB female connector and the microSD
card slot must be screwed tight to the device. Recommended tightening
torque for the cover screws: 40 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.
° The SICK cables plugged into the M12 and TNC 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).
° Any electrical connections for external antennas (TNC reverse) that are
not being used must be fitted with screw-on protective caps (as in the
e n
delivery condition).
° 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 RFU630-041xx is an intelligent RFID read/write device (UHF) from the
RFU63x product family. The stationary device automatically identifies wireless-
based data cards (transponders) on stationary and moving objects. The device
also supports data card management.
The device is a compact read and write unit that uses a maximum of 4 external
antennas to process all current, passive transponders in accordance with
ISO/IEC 18000-6C and EPCglobal UHFC1G2 in the regionally-dependent UHF car‐
rier frequency range. The device does not contain any integrated antennas.
Intelligent process logic enables processing either as a stand-alone solution or as
part of a group in a network. The device sends the read results to a higher-level
computer via its host interface. The computer coordinates further processing.
The device receives corresponding commands for data card management (write,
read, etc.) via its host interface.
Device variants refer to the region assignment (operating permit and carrier fre‐
quency range), see Device overview, page
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 Quickstart should be handed over with it.
• For country-specific particulars to consider when operating the device,
see Operational restrictions, page
Intended use of the device also includes compliance with all information in this
Quickstart.
