7.9.6 RFID scanner (optional)
The multi-frequency RFID scanner and the optional RFID tags are accessories which have
been factory-tested and adapted to the device. 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 scanner 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 scanner 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. RFID technology offers the advantage that it can be applied
continuously and reliably even in harsh industrial environments.
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 scanner.
Requirements
• Please observe the operating manual of the respective RFID scanner.
• The RFID tag must not be placed on a metallic surface.
Procedure – Putting the RFID scanner into operation
1. Switch on the device.
2. Connect the connecting cable of the RFID scanner to a USB-A port of the device.
The status LED of the RFID scanner lights up and an acoustic signal is emitted. The
RFID scanner is ready for operation.
If the connection fails, restart the device as well as the RFID scanner and repeat the
commissioning.
To disable the RFID scanner, press and hold the button of the RFID scanner for approx.
12 seconds. Press the button again to re-enable the RFID scanner.
Procedure – Operating the RFID scanner
You can create and select test samples using the RFID scanner in the database as well as
during the test procedure (automatic and manual tests according to VDE). Instead of entering
the test sample identification number manually, the identification number is scanned using the
RFID scanner. The identification number will be entered automatically.
