Intended use
SICK LOCU components constitute the UWB (ultra-wide band)
hardware part of SICK’s localization system solution. The SICK
LOCU hardware is well suited for precise indoor tracking of
tagged objects of various kinds. LOCU hardware comprises
LOCU1xx tags, which are mounted on the assets to be tracked
and infrastructure-mounted LOCU2xx antennas, called
anchors. LOCU tags can be localized in all areas covered by a
set of LOCU anchors.
SICK LOCU hardware is a part of complete solution, SICK offers
a comprehensive portfolio of services for LOC systems, from
consulting to support. SICK RTLS (real time locating system)
solutions LOC facilitate full transparency of your supply chain
processes by creating a digital twin of your assets - in your
factory, warehouse and beyond. Key use cases include
automation and optimization of processes in logistics and
production, from manual to fully automated processes. With
LOC, SICK provides a system solution which integrates several
localization technologies and further sensors into a software
platform, called Asset Analytics , which acts as middleware.
About this document
This Quickstart document describes the how-to setup LOCU
hardware components.
Before starting to work with LOCU, read this Quickstart
document carefully and make sure that you are familiar with
the device. The information on correct and safe operation of
the system presented here will help you avoid personal injury
or damage to property.

***left LED only on rechargeable tags (charger LED)
All tags are delivered in inactive state to avoid battery draining
and activity during transport and storage.
Activation of LOCU101-0x00 tags is done by pulling out plastic
foil from the tag. The plastic foil must be pulled out slowly and
with care.
Figure 2. Direction of pulling out plastic foil
Activation of LOCU101-0x10/LOCU111-0x10 tags is done by
placing them on Qi compatible wireless charger.
Charging procedure
- Place the tag on the Qi charger pad.
- Charger should indicate charging status via LED within
a few seconds, the same should be indicated on the tag'
s charger LED.
- Charging time is approximately 5,5 hours. (charging
current set to 73 mA)
- After the charging is done, charger will indicate the
ready status via LED (depending on charger model; for
example: LED blinking or LED off)
- Tags were tested with the following Qi chargers:
Samsung Fast Charge (EP-PN920), Samsung (EP-
PA510), Adata (CW0050).
Tags have to be fully charged before first use to avoid battery
damage.
Activation of LOCU111-0x20 tags is done by connecting them
to power supply (7-35V).

1)Connect max cable length of 30 meters (recommended) that are
grounded properly and never connect power cables with reverse
polarity
2) Do not over-discharge the tag's battery, below 2.75V. Over-
discharging can damage the performance of the battery. To avoid over-
discharging by self-discharge, charge tags periodically.
