1 About this document
The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to commission the RFU610-106xx
RFID read/write device (UHF) quickly and easily and to achieve initial read results
with transponders.
The Quickstart is valid for the regional variants listed in the “Device overview” sec‐
tion: see Device overview, page 6 .
The Quickstart describes the commissioning process for an application with an
RFU610-106xx in an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +50 °C.
Device variant RFU610-10600 (Ethernet variant, regional assignment: Europe) is
used as the basis for the examples given, based on its default. The optional
GL6 photoelectric sensor (1059241) is used as an example for the industrial-
standard read-cycle triggering of the RFU610-106xx. The photoelectric sensor can
be connected with the RFU610-106xx as a trigger sensor. Additional trigger sen‐
sors can be found at www.sick.com .

2 Safety information
• This chapter is dedicated to the safety of commissioning personnel and the
operator of the system in which the device is integrated.
• Read this Quickstart carefully before commissioning the device in order to
familiarize yourself with the device and its functions. The Quickstart is con‐
sidered a part of the device and must be kept in an accessible location in
the immediate vicinity of the device at all times!
•
For country-specific particulars to consider when operating the device, see
Operational restrictions, page 6 .
WARNING
Health hazard as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation!
The
RFU610-10600 (region: Europe) is designed for operation in accordance
with ETSI EN 302208. During operation, the human exposure regulations cov‐
ered by EN 50364 must be observed.
•
Limit human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Suitable safety dis‐
tances must be maintained during both short-term and long-term work
in the radiation range of the integrated antenna. Minimum distances to
be maintained between the antenna and the human body during long-
term transmission: 10 cm and maximum radiation power of the antenna
of 100 mW (20 dBm) as per ETSI.
The RFU610-10601 (region: USA/Canada/Mexico) satisfies the limit values of
the FCC for exposure to radiation in an uncontrolled environment.
•
During operation, a safety distance of at least 20 cm must be main‐
tained between the antenna and the human body.
• To comply with the IP67 enclosure rating in operation, the following require‐
ments must be met. If these requirements are not met, the device does not
fulfill any specified IP enclosure rating.
° The side cover of the USB female connector and the microSD memory
card slot must be screwed tight to the device.
° The SICK cables plugged into the M12 and M8 connections must be
screwed tight.
° Any electrical connections that are not being used must be fitted with
protective caps or plugs that are screwed tight (as in the delivery condi‐
tion).
° Only operate the device without a cover for a short period while insert‐
ing or removing the memory card or temporarily using the USB inter‐
face. During this time, protect the device against moisture and dust.
• The type label on the lower side of the device contains a pressure equalizing
membrane. If damaged, water and dust leaks could occur.
• Opening the screws of the device housing will invalidate any warranty claims
against SICK AG. For further warranty provisions, see the General Terms and
Conditions of SICK AG, e.g., on the delivery note of the device.
NOTE
SICK uses standard IP technology in its products. The emphasis is
placed on availability of products and services.
SICK always assumes the following prerequisites:
• The customer ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the data
and rights affected by its own use of the aforementioned products.
• In all cases, the customer implements the appropriate security
measures, such as network separation, firewalls, virus protection,
and patch management.
2.1 Intended use
The RFU610-106xx is an intelligent UHF read/write device from the RFU61x prod‐
uct family. The device is used for the automated, fixed identification of passive,
wireless-based data cards (transponders) on moving or stationary objects and
their management.
As a compact read/write device, the RFU610-106xx has an internal antenna that
is integrated into the housing. The device processes all standard passive
transponders in accordance with ISO/IEC 18000-63 and EPCglobal UHF C1G2 in
the regional UHF carrier frequency range. Thanks to its intelligent process logic,
the device can be used either as a stand-alone solution or as part of a group in a
network. The device sends the read results to a higher-level computer for further
processing via its host interface. The device also receives commands for data
card management (write, read, etc.) via this interface.
