RFID reader (optional)

The multi-frequency RFID reader and the optional RFID tags are
accessories which have been factory-tested and adapted to the
BENNING ST 755/ ST 760.
The RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) procedure is intended
for electronic identification of objects by means of radio
transmission.
An RFID system consists of two components: an RFID reader and
an RFID transponder (RFID tag). Each RFID tag is provided with a
worldwide unique UID no. (unique identifier) which can be read by
means of the RFID reader and assigned to a test sample without
any contact. For periodic inspection of electrical equipment, radio
frequencies of 125 kHz (LF) and 13.56 MHz (HF) prevail.
Compared to test sample identification by means of barcode
scanners/ labels, RFID technology offers the significant advantage
that it can be applied continuously and reliably even in harsh
industrial environments, e. g. on construction sites or in production
facilities and workshops. An overview of the RFID components can
be found in chapter 6.2, "Optional accessories".
21.1

Commissioning the USB RFID reader


Start the appliance tester.

Connect the connecting cable of the RFID reader to a
USB port of the BENNING ST 755/ ST 760.
The status LED of the RFID reader lights up and an acoustic
signal is emitted.
The RFID reader is ready for operation.
21.2

Operating the RFID reader

Please observe that metallic surfaces strongly influence
the radio connection.
The direct contact of an RFID tag to a metallic surface
should be avoided.
To transmit the UID no. of the RFID tag, the tag must
be moved to the marked reception area of the
RFID reader.
Basically, the RFID reader can be used as an input
device in any input line.
The RFID reader is intended to read the
BENNING RFID tags and to identify and manage test
samples.
You can use the following options to manage test
samples using the RFID method:
Creating/searching a test sample – during the test
procedure:
- Main menu -> Automatic test
Main menu -> Manual test acc. to "VDE ..."
-
Creating/searching a test sample – via database:
- Main menu -
Each time a test sample is created, the test sample
entry will be stored automatically in the database of the
appliance tester.

Creating/ searching a test sample – automatic
test
 Navigate from the main menu to the
"Automatic test" screen.
 Select or create a database.
 Select or create a customer.
 Select or create a department.
(not mandatory).
Creating a test sample
 Touch the "ID no." or
"Designation" line on the
left of the screen.
 Tap the "New" button.
The "Device ID" screen
opens.
 Connect one of the optional
RFID tags to a test sample
and read the corresponding
UID no. using the
RFID reader.
The read UID no. is
automatically applied and
confirmed.
The "Device" screen opens.
 Complete the data of the
test sample according to
chapter 0.
 Tap the "Save" button.
The test sample will be
created.
The "Automatic test" screen opens.
The automatic test can be started (see chapter 11).
Searching a test sample
 Touch the "ID no" line on the
right of the screen.
The "ID no." screen opens.
 Read the already existing
RFID tag using the
RFID reader.
The test sample is applied as
the current selection.
