RFID read/write device (HF) with internal short
range antenna
RFH630-1102101S05
Intended use
The RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device is an intelligent SICK-4Dpro sensor from the RFH6xx product
family. The special device is used for the automatic,
stationary identication 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 frequency 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 commands for transponder management (write, read, etc.)
via this interface.
Intended use also includes compliance with all information 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 commission 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 temperature range 0 °C to +50 °C, based on its default

personnel as well as operators 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 considered 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 specied enclosure rating):
• The side cover of the microSD card slot must
be screwed tight to the device.
• The SICK cables plugged into the M12 connections 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

Commissioning and conguration
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 mounting the device on a mounting device (bracket)
provided by the customer. Screw length is dependent 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 temperature, 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 sucient 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 vibration as possible when mounted.
• To prevent mutual interference with a neighbor-
ing device, ensure that there is sucient 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 transponders 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 aects the scanning
range. An additional factor for the scanning range
is the quality of the transponder, for example, the

CDB620-001 connection module
Mount the CDB620-001 connection module in
the vicinity of the device. If you are using the
serial data interfaces (RS-232), we recommend
a max. distance of 3 m. Mount the CDB620-001
in such a way that the device remains accessible at all times. See also CDB620-001 connection module operating instructions (part
no. 8012119). - See “Sources for additional
information” on page 5
.
Step 2: Electrical installation
• The electrical installation must only be per-
formed by electrically qualied persons.
• Standard safety requirements must be met when
working in electrical systems.
• Electrical connections between the device and
other devices may only be created or disconnected
when there is no power to the system. Otherwise,
the devices may be damaged.
• When using connecting or extension cables with an
open end, make sure that bare wire ends are not
touching (risk of short-circuit when the supply voltage is switched on). Wires must be appropriately
insulated from each other.
• Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the
customer's power system must be designed in
accordance with the applicable standards. 0.8 A
protection at the start of the feeding supply circuit
when the device is operated without a connection
module using a SICK cable.
• The power supply via a power supply unit must be
capable of buering a brief power failure of 20 ms.
• All circuits connected to the device must be designed as ES1 circuits. The power supply or power
supply unit must satisfy ES1 requirements in accordance with the currently applicable EN 62368-1.
(ES 1 = electrial source class 1).
NOTE
Risk of damage to the device due to possible short-
circuit!
The supply voltage input in the device is designed with
internal circuit protection to provide reverse polarity
protection. The internal functional earth, which also
corresponds to the negative pole of the device has a
direct connection to the metal housing of the device
due to reasons relating to high frequency.
If the supply voltage has the incorrect polarity, this will
not cause any damage provided that the device is not
connected (by
• either other cables or
• its housing)
to other peripheral devices that use the same grounding point.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical
current!
The device is designed to be operated in a system
with professional grounding of all connected devices
and mounting surfaces to the same ground potential.
As a result of equipotential bonding currents between
the device and other grounded devices in the system,
faulty grounding of the device can have the following
consequences:
• Metal housings are vulnerable to dangerous currents
• Malfunction and destruction of devices
• Damage to the cable shields caused by heating,
resulting in cable res.
Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all
grounding points. See the “Electrical installation”
chapter in the RFH630 technical information for
measures to eliminate hazards.
If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the
power supply immediately and have the damage
repaired.

Function
The device saves its congured parameter values as
a parameter set in its internal permanent memory
on request. A optional plug-in memory card can be
used for additional parameter cloning on an external
device. If the card is available, the device also saves
the internal parameter set on this. To start cloning, save the parameter set in the device using the
SOPAS ET option “Save parameter permanently”. It is
used, among other things, to conveniently transfer the
parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in
the event of an error.
As an alternative to the memory card, you can use the
optional CMC600 parameter storage module, which
can be used in the optional connection module, e.g,
CDB620-001 or CDM420-0001.
If both the memory card and the parameter storage
module are available, the device adopts the parameter set from the CMC600 parameter storage module
on restarting.
The rst time a parameter set is stored, we recommend that an empty memory card is used (if necessary, check and delete the contents of the card on the
PC using a card reader).
The memory card is not included with delivery.
on the Internet at www.sick.com/RFH6xx.
The memory card has no write protection that can be
activated.
Inserting the memory card
To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure
there is no power to the device when you insert or
remove it.
The card slot can be accessed on the device behind
the aluminum cover. - See ß, “Device layout” on page 5.
Maintaining the IP 67 enclosure rating: - See “Safety
information” on page 1.
1. Turn o the supply voltage to the device.
2. To remove the cover, unscrew both Allen screws
(A/F 2).
3. Making sure it is in the correct position (with the
contacts pointing to the front and down – see the
symbol on the device), insert the memory card
into the card slot until it locks into place.
4. Screw the aluminum cover back on.
5. Turn on the supply voltage to the device.
Fig. 8: Inserting the memory card
6. Once it is switched on, the device automatically
detects the presence of a memory card and,
depending on the card's content, behaves as
follows:
• If the card is empty or if it contains a parame-
ter set that cannot be interpreted by the device,
the device saves its currently valid internal
parameter set to the card and starts with this
parameter set.
• If the card contains a parameter set that can
be interpreted by the device, the device permanently overwrites the currently valid internal
parameter set with this external parameter set.
The goal is for the internal parameter set and
the parameter set saved externally to always
be identical.
Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable
function of the memory card. See SICK product page
