1 About this document
The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to commission the RFU620-10xxx
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:
Device overview, page 8.
In the following, the Quick Start Guide refers to the RFU620-10xxx (UHF) RFID
read/write device simply as "device". If variants are to be differentiated in the
regional assignment, the respective device name RFU620-10xxx is specified (xx =
regional assignment).
The Quick Start Guide describes the commissioning process for an application
with one device in an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +50 °C.
Commissioning is carried out as an example for the RFU620-10100 device vari‐
ant (Ethernet variant, Europe region and other countries if necessary,
overview, page 8). The basis is the basic parameter setting of the device. The
optional CDB620-001 connection module handles the industrial-standard signal
distribution for the device depending on the device itself. Other connection mod‐
ules are available. With the exception of the electrical connection, other device
variants are commissioned in the same way.

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: www.sick.com/RFU62x. For an overview
for obtaining more information, page 9
More detailed information on mounting and electrically installing the device as a
stand-alone unit than provided in this Quickstart is available in the RFU62x 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
• Electrical wiring plans for the optional connection modules of the CDB and
CDM product families when used in conjunction with the RFU620-101xx and
RFU620-104xx devices
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!
Electromagnetic radiation
WARNING
Health hazard as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation!
The RFU620-10x00 (Europa region and possibly other countries) 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‐
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 ERP (24 dBm) as per ETSI.
The RFU620-10x01 (USA region and possibly other countries) 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‐
tained between the antenna and the human body.

Conditions for specified enclosure rating
• To ensure compliance with the IP67 or IP65 enclosure rating of the device
during operation, the following requirements must be met. If these require‐
ments 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: 60 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.
° The cables plugged into the electrical M12 connections are screwed
tight.

in this Quick Start Guide.
see Device overview,
Any unused M12 connections must be sealed with screw-on protective
°
caps (for male connectors) or plugs (for female connectors) as sup‐
plied.
° 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.
e n
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 RFID read/write device is an intelligent ID sensor from the RFU6xx
(UHF) product family. Version (working range): Mid 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. The device processes the data of all standard passive transponders in accor‐
dance with ISO/IEC 18000-6C and EPCglobal UHF C1G2 in the regional UHF car‐
rier 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 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.
The RFU620-10xxx product family consists of 3 variant lines. The devices of vari‐
ous lines differ, among other things, in the number and type of data interfaces as
well as in the designs of the electrical connections:
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 variant line contains device variants with reference to the regional
assignment, 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 Quick Start Guide should be handed over with it.
For country-specific particulars to consider when operating the device,
•
see Operational restrictions, page
Intended use also includes compliance with all information in this Quickstart and
the supplementary RFU62x RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instructions.
