3.3 General notes on safety
Installation and commissioning of all devices must be performed by a trained professional only.
When packing the device for storage or transport, use materials that will protect the device from
bumps and impacts and protect against moisture. The original packaging provides the best
protection. Also take into account the permitted ambient conditions.
Do not open, burn or short-circuit the battery. The battery may ignite, explode, leak or heat up
and become irreparably damaged.
Always charge the battery using approved cables.
The Handheld supports different interfaces such as Bluetooth, USB, RS 232 or PS/2. Always
use correctly configured devices and the recommended original accessories to ensure reliable
communication.
The operating company bears responsibility for observing locally applicable safety regulations.
Independent interventions and separate modifications are dangerous and will void the warranty
and exclude the manufacturer from any liability. If serious faults occur, stop using the device.
Secure the device against inadvertent operation. In the event of repairs, send the device to
Pepperl+Fuchs.
Do not dispose of storage batteries with the household refuse.
Consumers are obliged by law to dispose of used storage batteries in accordance with
regulations. You can hand in your used batteries at public collection points in your area or sales
points where batteries of that particular kind are sold. You can also send your used batteries
directly to us for disposal. Please remember that this service is only available within the scope
of normal use. If you wish to send back your used batteries, please affix sufficient postage
stamps and send to our address. There are no extra charges for disposal.

4.1 Use and application
Handheld
IDENTControl by Pepperl+Fuchs is a proven system designed for stationary RFID applications.
A portable device for process monitoring (reading/writing functions, data carrier initialization) is
provided with this Handheld.
One new feature is the cellphone design with keypad and display for intuitive operation.
Frequently recurring actions can be performed by pressing one of two configurable keys.
JavaScript provides a familiar cross platform programming language to enhance system
functionality for the user.
In addition to a lithium ion storage battery, a large permanent memory and the option of
2.45 GHz band wireless communication based on the Bluetooth standard ensure maximum
mobility.
Data carrier 250 kHz (inductive)
Data carriers from this frequency range achieve a higher reading speed than 125 kHz data
carriers. ICC ... code carriers with a 28 bit fix code and IDC ... data carriers with a memory
capacity of 1 kBit are available in various designs.
