Mechanical resistance of the readers and transponders
SIMATIC RF300 is a contactless identification system that meets high mechanical requirements
for shock and vibration (EN 60721-3-7 class 7). Use the readers/transponders only for their
intended use. They are not designed to withstand high mechanical stress and impact to the
enclosure may cause damage and failure.
