Warning notice system

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER: indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING: indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION  indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE: indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular, its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Connecting the reader to the functional ground

• You need to connect the reader to functional ground. A ground borehole is provided for this on the connection side of the reader for attaching a grounding conductor.

Required tools

You need the following tools to connect to the functional ground:

• Screwdriver
• Stripping tool
• Crimp tool

Accessories required

You need the following accessories to connect to the functional ground:

• Fastening screw (M3) and washer
• Cable lug suitable for M3 screws
• Ground conductor cable (copper braid) with a minimum cross-section of 4 mm2

Mounting

Proceed as follows to connect the reader to functional ground via a grounding conductor:

1. Fasten the reader in the holes provided for this purpose.
2. Insulate the ground conductor.
3. Attach the cable lug to the ground conductor.
4. Screw the cable lug together with the M3 fastening screws with a torque of 1.2 Nm.

NOTICE

Low-impedance connection

• Ensure a low impedance connection between the reader module and the functional ground.
• When attaching the grounding cable, ensure it is not on a coated surface.

Connecting readers

Requirement

• Only wire the communication module when the supply voltage is switched off.

Required tools

When using preassembled cables, you need the following tool:

• Torque wrench set (e.g. from Peres; M12/M8, can be set; PER091) for wiring the reader connections.

Note

Using pre-assembled cables

• When connecting the supply voltage, we recommend the cables specified in the section “AUTOHOTSPOT” (4 x 1.5 mm2 preassembled).
• If you want to make the cable yourself, ensure that the conductor cross-section matches the system setup or the corresponding protection (1.5 mm2).
• When using cables that are not preassembled, you need the tool for the specific cable/connector, for example, an insulation stripper, screwdriver or Allen wrench.

Accessories required

You need the following accessories:

• For connecting the power supply
  • M12 plug (4-pin, L-coded) and 4-wire cable (4 x 1.5 mm2)
• for PROFINET IO connection
  • M12 plug (4-pin, D-coded) and 4-wire Ethernet cable (Twisted Pair, shielded)
  • You can find the associated article numbers in the section “AUTOHOTSPOT”.

Connect the plug

Proceed as follows to connect the device:

1. Push the respective plug into the corresponding round socket on the reader.
2. Make sure the connectors and sockets are properly interlocked (tongue and groove).
3. Fasten the connector by tightening the knurled locking ring.
4. To guarantee the degree of protection, you must fasten all connectors with ≃ 1.0 Nm.

NOTICE

Ensuring the degree of protection

• You need to close all unused sockets with M12 sealing caps to ensure IP65 or IP67 degrees of protection.
• You can find the order data of the sealing caps in the section “AUTOHOTSPOT”.

Pin assignment of the interfaces

The following tables show the pin assignment for the interfaces/connectors.

Pin assignment power supply; M12 socket (4-pin, L-coded)

Pin assignment PROFINET IO; M12 socket (4-pin, D-coded)

LED displays

Operation LED display

The operational states of the reader are displayed by two LEDs. The LEDs can adopt the colors white green, red, yellow, or blue, and the states off, on, flashing:

Shows the operating states via the operation LED display

The reader is in the “Setup” mode, in the “Search for transponders” status, and has

not yet received a “RESET” command, and is not ready.

| There is a transponder in the antenna field.

The reader is in the “Setup” mode, in the status “Show quality”, has not yet received a “RESET” command, and is not ready.

Depending on the signal strength, the LED flickers or is lit permanently.

| The reader has received a “RESET” command.
| The reader is turned on, the antenna is turned off.
|

•  The operating mode “with presence”: Transponder present
• The operating mode “without presence”: Transponder present and command currently being executed

| There is an error. The number of flashes provides information about the current error.

You can find more information on error messages in the section “AUTOHOTSPOT”.

Status LED display (including PROFINET/Ethernet LEDs)

The operating states of the reader are displayed by the LEDs “R/S”, “ER”, and “MAINT”. The LEDs can adopt the colors green, red or yellow, and the statuses off, on, and flashing :

Shows the operating status via the status LED display

The states of the PROFINET/Ethernet connections are indicated by the “LK1” LEDs for interface “X1 P1R” and “LK2” for interface “X1 P2R”. The LEDs can adopt the colors green, red or yellow and the states off , on , flashing:

• No connection is available.
• No cable has been connected.

| The flash test is performed for reader identification. At the same time, the LEDs of the operation and status LED on the display also flash.
|

• LED test while the reader is starting up.
• A connection is available.

Ensuring reliable data exchange

• The “center point” of the transponder must be situated within the transmission window.

Metal-free area

• The RF360R can be flush-mounted in metal. Allow for a possible reduction in the field data. To avoid any influence on the field data, the distance “a” should be kept to.
