QUICKSTART
RFH6xx
RFID read/write device (HF) with internal short
range antenna
RFH630-1102101S05
en
Intended use
The RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device is an in-
telligent SICK-4Dpro sensor from the RFH6xx product
family. The special device is used for the automatic,
stationary identication of transponders and their
management. The special device enables a process
reliable reading/writing of the die. The die acts as a
HF transponder (ISO15693) with an integrated coil
and IC (Integrated Circuit). The transponders are
located on moving or stationary objects.
As a compact device, the RFH630-1102101S05 has
an integrated antenna. It processes all standard ISO/
IEC-15693-compatible transponders on carrier fre-
quency 13.56 MHz. Thanks to its intelligent process
logic, it can be used either as a stand-alone solution
or as part of a group in a network.
The RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device sends
the read results to a higher-level computer for further
processing via its host interface. Or it receives com-
mands for transponder management (write, read, etc.)
via this interface.
Intended use also includes compliance with all infor-
mation in this Quickstart.
For simplicity in this document, the
RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device is referred to
as the “device”.
About this document
The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to com-
mission the device quickly and easily, and to achieve
initial read results with transponders.
The Quickstart describes the commissioning process
for an application with one device in ambient tem-
perature range 0 °C to +50 °C, based on its default
setting. The optional CDB620-001 connection module
is used for the industrial-standard signal distribution
of the device.

mation, such as application examples and downloads
of associated documents and associated software,

Operating the device in a eldbus with line topology
The optional incorporation of the device in eldbuses
is described in the relevant Operating instructions
for the CDF600-2 PROFIBUS DP, CDF600-2 PROFI-
NET, or CDF600 EtherCAT

Safety information
This chapter concerns the safety of commissioning
personnel as well as operators of the system in
which the device is integrated.
Read this Quickstart carefully before commission-
ing the device in order to familiarize yourself with
the device and its functions. The Quickstart is con-
sidered to be a part of the device and must be kept
in an accessible location in the immediate vicinity
of the device at all times!
The following requirements must be met if the
IP 67 enclosure rating is to be maintained during
operation (otherwise, the device will no longer meet
the conditions for any specied enclosure rating):
The side cover of the microSD card slot must
be screwed tight to the device.
The SICK cables plugged into the M12 connec-
tions must be screwed tight.
Any electrical connections that are not being
used must be tted with protective caps or
plugs that are screwed tight (as in the delivery
condition).
Only operate the device without the cover for
a short period while inserting or removing the
memory card. During this time, protect the
device against moisture and dust.
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
Data integrity:
SICK AG uses standardized data interfaces, such
as standard IP technology, in its products. The
emphasis here is on the availability of products
and their features. SICK AG always assumes that
the integrity and condentiality of the data and
rights aected by the use of these products will be
ensured by the customer. In all cases, appropriate
security measures, such as network separation,
rewalls, virus protection, and patch management,
must be taken by the customer on the basis of the
situation in question.
Commissioning and conguration
Scope of delivery
RFH630-1102101S05 special device. Electrical
connections tted with protective caps or plugs
if necessary. Without connecting cables and
brackets.
Printed Quickstart: English (part no. 8023443),
German (part no. 8023442).
Step 1: Mounting and alignment
Equipment required
At least 2 x M6 screws or 2 x M4 screws for mount-
ing the device on a mounting device (bracket)
provided by the customer. Screw length is depen-
dent on the mounting base (wall thickness of the
bracket). When using an optional SICK bracket, the
screws for mounting the device on the bracket are
included in the scope of delivery of the bracket.
Mounting requirements
The permissible ambient conditions for operating
the device must be observed, e.g., ambient tem-
perature, ground potential. - See “Technical data
(excerpt)” on page 4 and “Step 2: Electrical
installation” on page 2.
The device must be mounted using all 4 M6
threaded mounting holes (minimum 2) or 2 through
holes (both) provided. - See “Device layout” on
page 5.
Stable mounting device with sucient load-bearing
capacity and suitable dimensions for the device.
Weight max. 760 g (not including cables). - See
“Device layout” on page 5.
The device should be as free from shock and vibra-
tion as possible when mounted.
To prevent mutual interference with a neighbor-
ing device, ensure that there is sucient distance
between the two devices which are being operated
simultaneously.
Mounting the device
1. Select a suitable mounting location for the device.
The mounting location and position depend on
the antenna elds of the device and the transpon-
ders used.
2. Optional: Attach mounting kit part no. 2048551
(optional accessory) to the device (see
RFH630 technical information, “Mounting”
chapter). Otherwise, mount the device on the
bracket provided by the customer using at least
2 M6 screws. Screw in the M6 screws to max.
6.5 mm into the threaded mounting holes (see
“Device layout” on page 5).
3. Align the surface of the integrated antenna on
the device (front face) and where applicable the
external antenna of the transponder to the object.
Avoid any large metal surfaces positioned to the
front as far as possible.
4. Ensure that no electrically conductive objects,
such as metal objects, are positioned between
the device/external antenna and the transponder
during the read/write process. This would attenu-
ate the generated HF eld and thereby reduce the
scanning range of the device.
Scanning range of the read/write eld on the device
The maximum scanning range for communication
between the device and transponder depends on
various factors. Primarily, the dimensions of the
transponder's antenna positively aects the scanning
range. An additional factor for the scanning range
is the quality of the transponder, for example, the
