- The manufacturer is responsible for the safety of the system�
- The system manufacturer undertakes to perform a risk assessment and to
create a documentation in accordance with legal and normative requirements
to be provided to the operator and user of the system� This documentation
must contain all necessary information and safety instructions for the operator,
the user and, if applicable, for any service personnel authorised by the
manufacturer of the system�
● Read this document before setting up the product and keep it during the entire
service life�
● The product must be suitable for the corresponding applications and
environmental conditions without any restrictions�

5
UK
● Only use the product for its intended purpose (→ 3 Functions and features).
● If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal
injury and/or damage to property may occur�
● The manufacturer assumes no liability or warranty for any consequences
caused by tampering with the product or incorrect use by the operator�
● Installation, electrical connection, set-up, operation and maintenance of the
product must be carried out by qualified personnel authorised by the machine
operator�
● Protect units and cables against damage�
2.2 Radio equipment
In general, the device must not be used in the vicinity of petrol stations, fuel
depots, chemical plants or blasting operations�
►Do not transport and store any flammable gases, liquids or explosive
substances near the unit�
2.3 Interference of electronic and medical devices
Operation can affect the function of electronic devices that are not correctly
shielded�
►Disconnect the device in the vicinity of medical equipment�
►Contact the manufacturer of the corresponding device in case of any
interference�
Because of the requirements for electromagnetic interference emissions, the
device is intended for use in industrial environments� The device is not suitable for
use in domestic areas�
The device may only be used under the operating conditions specified in
the data sheet�
3 Functions and features
The DTC600 read/write head is used for non-contact reading and writing of RFID
tags that conform to the system� The data is transmitted via CAN bus�

6
4 Function
4.1 Operating principle
The ID tags are operated passively, i�e� without battery� The energy required for
operation is supplied by the read/write head�
The physical principle of the energy transfer is based on inductive coupling� The
integrated antenna coil in the read/write head generates a magnetic field which
partly penetrates the antenna coil of the ID tag� A voltage is generated by induction
that supplies the data carrier with energy�

5 Installation
5.1 General installation instructions
When mounting several read/write heads adhere to the minimum distances
between the systems�
Installing a read/write head in or on metal reduces the read and write
distance�
The immediate vicinity of powerful HF emission sources such as welding
transformers or converters can affect operation of the read/write heads�
Information on the available mounting accessories is available on our website at
www�ifm�com�
5.2 Notes on ID tag mounting
Installation of the ID tags in and on metal reduces the read and write
distances�

7
UK
For positioning the ID tags the read/write heads are marked with an
antenna symbol on the active face� It designates the middle of the
integrated antenna coil and has to correspond with the middle of the ID tag�
The orientation of the read/write head axis must correspond with the axis of
the ID tag coil�
5.3 Avoiding interference
The device generates a modulated electrical field with a frequency of 13�56 MHz�
To avoid interference of the data communication no other devices generating
interference emission in this frequency band must be operated in its vicinity� Such
devices are for example frequency converters and switched-mode power supplies�
