    Audible status indicator (beeper)Default: 1 sound when at least one transponder is in the UHF field

    3.3 Memory card (optional accessory)The device can execute the following functions on the plug-in microSD memorycard:• Cloning function: If a MicroSD memory card is present, the device automati‐

    cally saves its internal parameter set on the memory card as well. This pro‐cedure is carried out in the framework of the recommended storing conceptfor the device parameter sets. Storing the internal parameter set with the“permanent” option triggers the cloning function. The function is used,among other things, to conveniently transfer the parameter set to anreplacement device of the same type in the event of a fault.

    • Data logging: The device continuously records read diagnosis data after thefirst manual start, e.g. via SOPAS ET. If the function is permanently set, thedevice automatically resumes recording after a restart.

    • Alternatively, with 4Dpro sensors , the optional CMC600 parameter memorymodule can also be used as an external storage medium for the cloningfunction. The parameter memory module can be used in the optional con‐nection module, e.g. CDB650-204 or CDM420-0006. If the device is con‐nected to a data bus via the bus connection module CDF600-2xxx, an exter‐nal storage medium is also available.

    NOTERecommendation:Use an empty memory card to save a parameter set for the first time. If nec‐essary, check the contents of the card on the computer using a card readerand delete if necessary.

  • The microSD memory card is not included in the scope of delivery.Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable function of the memory card,see www.sick.com/RFU63x. The memory card has no write protection that can beactivated.

    Inserting or removing a memory card

    NOTICEPossible data loss or irreparable damage to the memory card!The device does not signal the direct access (read/write) to the card but thecurrent status of the card, see Status displays, page 2.• Only use the memory card when the device power is off.• Do not remove the memory card or switch off the supply voltage while

    the following functions are taking place in the device:° Storage of parameter values with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐

    ware with the “Permanent” option° Functions have been started that access the memory card (e.g.

    concurrent logging of data)• To remove the memory card safely during operation, select the Remove

    card function under Analysis tools/MicroSD card in SOPAS ET. Wait for thefeedback from SOPAS ET to release the card.

Switch off the supply voltage to the device.2. To remove the cover, unscrew both screws.3. Making sure it is in the correct position, insert the memory card into the card

    slot until it locks into place. When doing so, orient the contacts forwards anddownwards as per the symbol on the device.

    4. Screw the aluminum cover back on. Recommended tightening torque for thecover screws: 40 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.

    5. Switch the supply voltage for the device back on.6. Once it is switched on, the device automatically detects the presence of a

    memory card and, depending on the memory card’s content, behaves as fol‐lows:° If the memory card is empty or if does not contain a parameter set that

    can be interpreted by the device:the device saves its currently valid internal parameter set to the card(provided there is sufficient storage space) and starts with the internalparameter set.

    ° If the card contains a parameter set that can be interpreted by thedevice:the device overwrites the currently valid internal parameter set with thisexternal parameter set.The goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set savedexternally to always be identical.

    4 Mounting4.1 Scope of delivery• Device in the version ordered (region assignment). Electrical connections are

    fitted with protective caps or plugs. Without connecting cables and brackets.• Regional printed Quickstarts. Included language versions: see Device

    overview, page 8.Other language versions may be available in PDF format on the device prod‐uct page on the Internet at: www.sick.com/RFU63x

    4.2 Equipment required• 4 x M6 screws or 3 x M5 screws for mounting the device on a mounting

    device (bracket) provided by the customer. The screw length depends on themounting base (wall thickness of the bracket).

    • When using an optional SICK bracket, the screws for mounting the device onthe bracket are included the scope of delivery of the bracket.

    4.3 Mounting requirements• The permissible ambient conditions for operating the device must be

    observed, e.g. assigned radio region, ambient temperature, see Technicaldata, page 6 and ground potential see Electrical installation, page 4.

    • The device must be mounted using all 4 M6 or 3 M5 blind tapped holes pro‐vided: see Device view, page 2.

    • If necessary, stable mounting equipment with sufficient load-bearing capac‐ity and appropriate dimensions for the device. Weight of the device (withoutcables): see Technical data, page 6, device dimensions: see Device view,page 2.

    • Make sure there is no electrically conductive material between transponderand device.

    4.4 Mounting the device1. Select a suitable mounting location for the device. The mounting location

    and position depend on the antenna field of the device and/or the externalantennas and the transponders used.

    2. Perform one of the following steps:a) Mount the device on the bracket provided by the customer using the 4

    or 3 screws. Screw the M6 screws max. 11 mm, M5 max. 8 mm intothe blind tapped holes, see Device view, page 2.

    b) Mount the device on the SICK mounting accessories ordered sepa‐rately. Proceed as described under a).

    3. Align the surface of the integrated antenna of the device (front face) and,where applicable, the additional external antennas, to the transponder onthe object. While doing so, take into account the shape, alignment, anddimensions of the antenna field in each case. Avoid as far as possible anylarge metal surfaces positioned to the front. If this is not possible, do notmount the antenna(s) plane parallel with the surface.

    10°

    Figure 5: Selection of the approach angle with a large metal surface on thefront. e.g. 10°1 Metal surface

    4. Ensure there is no electrically conductive material (e.g., metal, liquids) orpersons between the device and the transponder during the write or readprocess. This will absorb or reflect the generated UHF field and therebyreduce the read range.This also applies for the external antennas used.

    Read rangeThe environment influences the UHF field of the antenna(s), making it impossibleto provide a “clear” demarcation of the read range.• Application-specific reflections can result in both overreaches and “holes”• Other factors that can significantly impact the read range include:

    ° Quality of the transponder: antenna gain, the integrated transponderchip and related sensitivity, reflected energy

    ° Material of the carrier object (plastic, wood, metal)° Objects between the device and transponder that can affect the UHF

    field (items, liquids, people)In addition to the read results, the device can also output diagnostic data. Thediagnostic data provides an indication of the write and read quality. This diagnos‐tic data can be used to achieve optimum read results when setting up the system.The radiation pattern shown here for the device’s antenna was obtained in areproducible environment (absorber chamber) for illustrative purposes. The dia‐gram shows how the UHF field propagates in the reflection-free space, but cannotbe used to draw any conclusions on the likely read range in a real application on-site.

    WARNINGRisk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the device and othergrounded devices in the system, faulty grounding of the device can give riseto the following dangers and faults:• Dangerous voltages are applied to the metal housings.• Devices will behave incorrectly or be destroyed.• Cable shielding will be damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.Remedial measures• Only skilled electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the

    electrical system.• If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply imme‐

    diately and have the damage repaired.• Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.• Where local conditions do not meet the requirements for a safe earthing

    method, take appropriate measures (e.g., ensuring low-impedance andcurrent-carrying equipotential bonding).

    NOTEFor recommended measures for eliminating hazards, see the “Electricalinstallation” chapter in the RFU63x/65x RFID read/write device (UHF) operat‐ing instructions in the Internet at: www.sick.com/RFU63x.
