2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The RFU61x RFID read/write device is an intelligent ID sensor from the SICK RFU6xx
(UHF) product family. Version (working range): Short Range.
The device is used for the automated, fixed identification of wireless-based data cards
(transponders) on moving or stationary objects, and for the management of these data
cards. The RFU610 base model processes all standard passive transponders in accor‐
dance with EPCglobal UHF C1G2 and ISO/IEC 18000-6C in the regional UHF carrier fre‐
quency range.
The device works in stand-alone operation. In read mode, the device transmits the
results via a host interface to a higher-level computer (e.g. PLC) for further centralized
processing. Network operation is possible for coordinating trouble-free readings of
devices at close proximity to one another, but without a coordinating summary of the
reading results by one of the devices involved.
The compact device contains an antenna integrated in the housing.
The device allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range. For details, see
"Technical data", page 61.
The device is primarily designed for use in industrial and logistics areas, and meets the
requirements for industrial ruggedness, interfaces and data processing. If necessary,
the device can be programmed to implement customer-specific modifications.
NOTE
The USB interface of the device is used in industrial environments only as a service
interface for temporary use (e.g. for configuration, troubleshooting). Permanent use in
operational use of the system as a host interface is not intended.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
2.1.1 Operational restrictions
NOTICE
Operational restrictions!
The frequency band of the device is configured for the specific type and region when
delivered. This enables the device to be operated in the respective approved region
without interfering with protected frequencies (such as mobile communications).
Operating the device in other regions, however, can interfere with protected frequen‐
cies.
■
Only use the device in the region for which it has been approved.
■
When reselling the device, inform the buyer of the fixed region assignment.
■
Should the device be passed on to a third party, these operating instructions and
the Quick Start Guide should be handed over with it.
■
For further country-specific operating requirements, see the Quick Start Guide, a
printed copy of which is enclosed with the device or can be downloaded online

A region consists either of a group of countries or of only one country.
