BIS U-4A7-082- _1C-07-S4
Industrial RFID-System – Read/Write Head
About this Guide
This guide provides important information for installing and
connecting the UHF-RFID read/write head
BIS U-4A7-082- _1C-07-S4 with IO-Link interface.
Intended use
The BIS U-4A7 UHF-RFID read/write head with integrated
antenna and IO-Link interface forms an identification
system together with a machine controller (e.g. PLC) and
an IO-Link master. It is intended to be installed into a
machine or system and used in the industrial sector.
The BIS U-4A7 UHF-RFID read/write head may only be
operated within the approved countries (see information
sheet on conformity and approval) and in compliance with
the nationally applicable legal regulations.
Flawless function in accordance with the specifications in
the technical data is ensured only when using suitable
original Balluff accessories. Use of any other components
will void the warranty.
Non-approved use is not permitted and will result in the
loss of warranty and liability claims against the
manufacturer.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The product is not intended for the following applications
and areas and may not be used there:
– In safety-oriented applications in which personal safety
depends on the device function
– In explosive atmospheres
– In direct contact with food (hygienic)
Safety notes
Activities such as
installation
,
connection
and
commissioning
may only be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Qualified personnel
are persons whose technical
training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge
of the relevant regulations allow them to assess the work
assigned to them, recognize possible hazards and take
appropriate safety measures.
The
operator
is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take steps to ensure that a
defect in the product will not result in hazards to persons
or equipment.
The product must not be opened, modified or changed. If
defects and unresolvable faults occur in the product, take
it out of service and secure against unauthorized use.
The BIS U identification system antenna emits ultra-high
frequency electromagnetic waves. IEC 62369 stipulates
that personnel must not remain within close range of the
UHF antenna for long periods (several hours).

Dimensions and function
The BIS U-4A7 read/write head belongs to the category of
non-contact systems with read/write function. which not
only allows it to detect information programmed
permanently in the data carrier, but also to collect and
pass on current information. The energy supply of the data
carrier is provided by the read/write head by means of a
carrier signal.

Preparing for installation
Application planning, see user’s guide.
When selecting the installation location, ensure that there is
sufficient distance to workplaces where people are
permanently present.
Furthermore, it must be ensured that the read/write head is
mounted in such a way that the main beam direction of the
antenna is optimally aligned with the location to be
identified and that the line of sight between the read/write
head and the data carrier is free of metals or other
electromagnetically effective materials. If this cannot be
ensured, the optimum functioning of the read/write head
may be impaired.
