Safety information

2. Safety Information

2.1 Authorized Personnel

RFI341 Radio Frequency Interrogator

• For the RFI341 to function correctly and safely, it must be installed and operated by sufficiently qualified personnel.

• The end user must be supplied with the operating instructions.

• The end user must be provided with expert training and is advised to

read the operating instructions.

• The following qualifications are required for the various tasks involved.

2.1.1 Assembly and maintenance

• Practical basic technical training

• Knowledge of the standard guidelines relating to safety in the

workplace

2.1.2 Electrical Connection and Replacement

Practical training in electrical technology

• Knowledge of the standard safety guidelines relating to electrical technology

• Knowledge regarding the operation of the devices in the relevant application (e.g. conveyor belt)

2.1.3 Start-up, Operation and Configuration

Safety information

RFI341 Radio Frequency Interrogator

2.1.4 Intended Use

The RFI341 is designed to detect and decode 13.56 MHz, ISO 15693 compliant RFID transponder signals. It is used together with antennas installed in a reading station and reads from and writes to RFID transponders on objects positioned, e.g., on a conveyor belt. The RFI341 enables the bi-directional communication with a host for, e.g., further processing. Any warranty claims against SICK AG will be rendered invalid if the device is used for any other purpose or if changes are made to the device including changes made during the installation and electrical connection procedures.

Safety information

RFI341 Radio Frequency Interrogator

2.2 General Safety Instructions and Protective Measures

Read carefully the general safety instructions and observe them at all times. This also applies to the warnings provided for the activities described in each chapter of this document.

Risk of injury by electrical current!

The power supply is connected to the main voltages 24V DC. → When working with electrical equipment, always follow the relevant

safety instructions.

2.3 Quick Stop and Restart

Switching off the power supply of the RFI341 can result in loss of the following:

• The specific application parameter set, if it was set only temporarily

• The last reading in the result buffer

2.4 Environmental Conditions

The RFI341 is designed to cause minimum impact to the environment.

2.4.1 Power Requirements

The RFI341 has a maximum power consumption of 50W

2.4.2 Disposal after Final Placing out of Operation

Always dispose of unusable or irreparable devices in a manner that is not harmful to the environment and in accordance with the applicable national waste disposal regulations. The RFI341 can be separated into recyclable secondary raw materials and special category waste (electronic scrap). At present, SICK does not accept the return of unusable or irreparable devices.

Product Description
