Installation & operation

Notes on installation

Note
Before you install the transponders, read this section carefully to ensure problem-free installation and commissioning.

The transponders can only be used in conjunction with the RTLS localization system.
Install the transponder in such a way that it has a direct line-of-sight connection to the gateways (360° panorama view). Any type of material can impact wireless localization. Wireless localization through metal is not possible. In this case, localization via wireless reflections can occur which results in an inaccurate localization.
Check the transponder for damage before installation. Protect the display from objects that could scratch or otherwise damage it. The specified operating temperature ranges must be observed.
The transponder contains one lithium ion battery.

CAUTION

• Contact with the battery fluid
• Incorrect handling of the transponder may damage the battery and cause fluid to leak out of the battery.
• Avoid contact with the battery fluid. Rinse skin that comes into contact with battery fluid with water. If fluid from the battery gets into the eye, seek medical attention.

CAUTION
Handling batteries
There is a risk of fire and, in extreme cases, of explosion in the following cases:

• If the battery is improperly charged and discharged• If the polarity is reversed
• If a short-circuit occurs
• This applies to lithium-ion batteries:
• Do not squeeze
• Do not heat and do not burn
• Do not short-circuit
• Do not disassemble
• Do not immerse in liquid – the battery may crack or burst

CAUTION

Fires and burns
Improper handling of the battery can lead to fire and skin injuries.

• The enclosure of the transponder must not be squashed, punctured or exposed to other mechanical influences.
• Never expose the transponder to fire, temperatures above 40 °C or direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

Reflections and interferences

The antenna fields are weakened by absorbing materials and reflected by conducting materials. When electromagnetic fields are reflected or there are other radio sources, this will result in interferences. These circumstances will result in incorrect measurements; however, these can be largely detected and corrected with the appropriate software (e.g. SIMATIC RTLS Locating Manager). We still recommend that you prevent these influences. Especially objects that cannot be penetrated by radio waves can cause localization errors.

Note
Metal surfaces reflect radio waves more than any other types of surfaces. Water, on the other hand, attenuates radio waves. You should therefore evaluate your working environment and integration for these influences.
During installation, pay attention to sufficient distance from such reflective surfaces so that localization is not impaired.

Coexistence and de-sensing
To prevent interfering with each other, radio applications will use different frequency bands. Use of these frequency bands is subject to state regulation. Because a frequency range is considered a finite good, technologies were developed over the years that enable a coexistence of different radio applications in the same frequency band. These technologies are also used by SIMATIC RTLS. However, interferences can still be caused by other radio devices. Arrangements are being made here, too, so that these interferences do not impact the operation of the RTLS localization system. To keep interferences to a minimum, the RTLS infrastructure components must not be installed in the close vicinity of other radio applications. Strong senders in close vicinity can interfere with the reception, even when they are located in neighboring frequency bands (de-sensing). This is true, for example, for the 2.4 GHz ISM band and PULSE in the UWB channel 5.

Installation with Power mounting clip

NOTICE

Observe general installation instructions
Observe the general installation instructions for the transponder described above this paragraph.

• The Power mounting clip is only intended for vertical installation, so that the contacts of the Power mounting clip are at the bottom. Installation can be performed as described in section “Technical specifications of the
• RTLS4083T Power mounting clip (Page 23)”.
• Only operate the Power mounting clip with a suitable power supply with the permissible values, see section “Technical specifications of the RTLS4083T Power mounting clip (Page 23)”.
• Use the lug at the bottom of the Power mounting clip to relieve the strain on the cables to the plug on the left of the Power mounting clip.

Operation

RTLS4083T operation

• Note
  Operate the transponder only with the accessories intended for this purpose, which are listed in the section “Order data for RTLS4083T and accessories (Page 9)”.

• The transponder is delivered in the switched-off state. To commission the transponder, it has to be inserted into the associated charging station or Power mounting clip once so that the green LED on the device lights up.

• The transponder is operated with the F1 function key on the front panel. The function of the key can be programmed via the programming interface.

• If the voltage is too low, the transponder switches off automatically and sends a “Low-Power” message to the Locating Manager. The limit above which the transponder sends this message is configurable. In this case, the transponder must be fully recharged within 3 months to avoid deep self-discharge and damage to the battery.

RTLS4083T operation with Power mounting clip

Note
Operate the transponder only with the accessories intended for this purpose, which are listed in the section “Order data for RTLS4083T and accessories (Page 9)”.

The transponder is delivered in the switched-off state. To commission the transponder, it has to be inserted into the associated charging station or Power mounting clip once so that the green LED on the device lights up. The mode of the transponder in the active clip behaves like operation in the charging station. There is no differentiation by the transponder or Locating Manager. This also includes charging of the battery like in the charging station. When the transponder is operated continuously in the active clip, the battery is regularly charged, with the transponder being supplied by the external supply voltage.
The transponder is only charged if the ambient conditions as described in the sections
“Charging instructions for the RTLS charging station (Page 18)” and “RTLS4083T technical specifications (Page 21)” are met.

Cleaning and maintenance

The enclosure of the transponder must not be opened.
The devices specified in this document may only be repaired or opened for other types of work by an authorized maintenance company.
Improper opening or repairing of the devices may result in serious risks for the user. Opening the devices without permission renders the warranty of the Siemens AG null and void.
Do not clean the devices with liquids or abrasive, caustic or flammable cleaning products.

Note
Due to the integrated battery, the RTLS4083T transponder is a hazardous good. Observe the applicable regulations when shipping.

Charging instructions for the RTLS charging station

Mount the charging station in a location with cool ambient temperature. Then, fully charge the transponder using the charging station.

The temperature of the transponder and the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C for the transponder to be charged. The higher the temperature, the longer it takes to charge the transponder.
If the transponder exceeds 55 °C during charging, remove the transponder from the charging station. Allow the transponder to cool down and try charging it again. If the transponder becomes too hot again, remove the transponder from the charging station and contact customer service.

3.4 Charging instructions for the RTLS charging station
The battery has a natural self-discharge. When stored in a state not fully charged, the transponder is discharged after approximately 6 months and must be recharged. If the transponder is completely discharged, the integrated battery may be damaged.
To charge, insert the transponder fully in a charging bay of the charging station. The front of the transponder must face away from the side of the cable guide. The start and status
of the charging process are signaled via the LED display on the transponder. A full charging process takes approximately 8.5 hours. To ensure correct operation of all 10 charging bays and to avoid damage to the transponders, only use the power supply unit provided with the charging station.
Read also the descriptions of the operating states of the transponder in section “LED status indicator, display & function key (Page 10)”.
