TURCK TN R42TC EX HF Read and Write Device - Fig 1

For your safety

Intended use,
These devices are designed only for use in industrial areas.
The BL ident read/write heads operate at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and are used for contactless data exchange with the BL ident tags in the BL ident HF RFID system. They can only be connected and operated with BL ident interfaces.
The devices are also suitable for operation in Zone 1. The …/C53 read/write heads can be used with the TBEN-… RFID interfaces to form a line topology.
The devices must only be used as described in these instructions. Any other use is not in accordance with the intended use. Turck accepts no liability for any resulting damage.

General safety instructions

The device must only be fitted, installed, operated, and maintained by trained and qualified personnel.
The devices only meet the EMC requirements for industrial areas and are not suitable for use in residential areas.

Notes on Ex protection

Do not connect or disconnect the device in the Ex area under live conditions.
The device must only be mounted, installed, operated, parameterized, and maintained by trained and qualified personnel. When using the device in Ex circuits, the user must also have additional knowledge of explosion protection (EN 60079-14, etc.).
Observe national and international regulations for explosion protection.
Only use the device within the permissible operating and ambient conditions (see technical data and Ex approval specifications).
Observe any “special conditions” stated (type examination certificate and/or IECEx CoC).

ATEX approval requirements for use in the Ex area

The cable glands are only suitable for permanently laid cables and lines. Provide the necessary strain relief on installation. Equivalent cable glands with strain relief can be used as an alternative.
The cable glands have been tested for a low degree of mechanical damage (drop height of 0.4 m with a mass of 1 kg) and must be protected from greater impact energy.
Do not connect the shield incorporated in the …/S2500 cable at the end for the read/write heads but at the end for the RFID interface.
Connect the read/write head to the potential ground via the installation material. The connected potential ground of the read/write head must be identical to the potential ground of the plant sections.

Product Description

Device overview
See fig. 1 (device view) and fig. 2 (dimensions)
Functions and operating modes
The devices enable passive HF tags to be read or written in single and multi- tag operations. For this the devices form a transmission zone that varies in size and range according to the tags used and the operating conditions of the application. Refer to the datasheets for the applicable maximum read/write distances.
Installing
DANGER
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Risk of explosion due to spark ignition!
When used in the Ex area:
➤ Mounting and connection are only permissible if there is no potentially explosive atmosphere present.
➤ Mount the device with the appropriate fixing accessories.
➤ Observe the minimum distance of 90 mm between reading/write heads.
➤ Avoid metal in the proximity of the read/write head. Metal rails or similar objects must not intersect the transmission zone.
➤ Protect the device from heat radiation, rapid temperature fluctuations, severe contamination, electrostatic charge, and mechanical damage.

Connection

The devices must be connected with a …/S2500 connection cable.
➤ Fully remove the housing cover screws. Ensure that the rubber seals are not destroyed or lost (fig. 3).
➤ Lift off the housing cover from the lower section of the read/write head.
➤ Unscrew the upper cap of the cable gland.
➤ Feed the connection cable through the cap of the cable gland and the housing cover (fig. 4).
➤ Feed the stripped section of the connection cable into the cable gland.
➤ Connect the wires to the spring-loaded terminals as per the wiring diagram.
➤ Press the housing cover firmly onto the lower section of the read/write head.
➤ NOTICE! Risk of device damage by undoing the lock nuts in the housing. Only tighten the housing cover screws when it is securely fitted to the housing.
➤ Seal the cable gland.
➤ Ensure the permanent installation of the connection cable.
Commissioning
The device is operational automatically once the cables are connected and the power supply is switched on.

Operation

LED indications
