Legal information

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.

Characteristics

SIMATIC RF615A

Characteristics

Area of application The SIMATIC RF615A is a universal

UHF antenna in a compact size for

industrial applications, e.g. for instal-

lation directly on the robot arm.

Frequency range •865 to 868 MHz (RF615A ETSI)

•902 to 928 MHz (RF615A FCC)

Read range

Max. 2 m

Polarization

Linear

Degree of protection IP67

(IP rating is not investigated by UL)

Mounting

2 x M4

Connection 30 cm connecting cable (connected

permanently to the antenna) and

RP-TNC coupling

An antenna cable is required for

connection to the reader (e.g.

6GT2815-0BH30).

Frequency ranges

The antenna is a narrowband antenna and is available in the following two frequency range

variants.

●RF615A ETSI: 865 to 868 MHz

●RF615A FCC: 902 to 928 MHz

Function

The SIMATIC RF615A is used for transmitting and receiving data in the UHF range. The

antennas are connected to the SIMATIC RF600 readers via antenna cables that are

available in different lengths.

Installing and mounting

Two holes for M4 screws are provided for mounting the antenna. The antenna is suitable for

mounting on metallic and non-metallic surfaces.

Note

Maximum read/write range

The maximum read/write ranges are only reached w

hen the antenna is mounted on a

metallic surface with a minimum size of 150 x 150

mm.

Note

Antenna gain depends on the mounting surface

Note that the antenna gain depends on the material of the mounting surface. If the antenna

is mounted on a metallic surface, the antenna gain is

-5 dBi. If the antenna is mounted on a

non

-metallic surface, the antenna gain is -13 dBi.
