NOTE
The device cannot write the TID (tag identifier) of the transponder.
6.4 Continuing the configuration
1.
Under SOPAS ET in the left-hand navigation tree, edit the required tabs for
the application using the additional entries under
Parameters
.
These include amongst others:
°
antenna configuration, performance optimization, data pre-processing,
transponder processing
°
Object trigger control (e.g. via digital input “Sensor 1”), data processing
and output
°
Data output interface(s), function of the digital inputs and outputs and
use of an optional memory card if necessary.
2.
On the
Antenna Configuration
tab, set the transmitting power for the integrated
and external antennas using sliders.
°
Regional permissible values for the antennas,
°
RFU630 transmitting power default: 23 dBm (200 mW)

The line loss of the antenna connecting cable as well as the gain of the
external antenna used must also be entered here.
4.
Test and, if necessary, modify the settings made during operational use of
the system.

Maintenance and care
The device does not contain components that require maintenance.
To maintain the full read and write rate, gently clean the following surfaces in
case of contamination (e.g. metal dust) with a soft, damp cloth (mild clean‐
ing agent):
°
Front of the device (antenna hood)
°
Front of the external antennas
The antenna hood is made of plastic.

Transport and storage
Transport and store the device in the original packaging, with protective plugs and
caps completely screwed-on. Do not store outdoors. To ensure that any residual
moisture present can escape, do not store the device in airtight containers. Do
not expose to any aggressive substances.
Storage conditions: dry, dust-free, no direct or indirect sunlight, as little vibration
as possible. Storage temperature and relative humidity
.

Repairs
Repair work on the device may only be performed by qualified and authorized ser‐
vice personnel from SICK AG.
10 Disassembly and disposal
Any device which can no longer be used must be disposed of in an environmen‐
tally friendly manner in accordance with the applicable national waste disposal
regulations. As it is categorized as electronic waste, the device must never be dis‐
posed of with household waste!
