2.2

Intended use

The interrogator RFH620 is an ISO/IEC-15693 compatible transponder printer/reader unit 
for the close-up range (operating range of up to 16 cm), e. g., in a conveyor system.

The intended use of the interrogator results from the following description of the function:

The interrogator is installed in a holder in a reading station.

The interrogator transfers the reading data via the host interface to a superordinate 
host computer for further processing.

The interrogator is configured/operated using the SOPAS-ET configuration software 
that runs on a standard client PC provided by the customer. In this connection, commu-
nication takes place via RS-232 or Ethernet.

The Interrogator controls (locally), e. g., switches in the conveyor system via the digital 
switching outputs.

Important

Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in case changes are made to 
the interrogator, e. g., opening the housing, this includes modifications during installation 
and electrical installation or changes to the SICK software.

>

The interrogator is only to be operated in ambient air temperature limit.

2.2.1

CE authorisation

The interrogator RFH620 fulfils the requirements of CE authorisation.

2.2.2

FCC authorisation

The interrogator RFH620 is in accordance with part 15 of FCC guidelines.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and

this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cau-
se undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
