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.

The transponder SIMATIC RTLS4460T represents the movable device considered for
localization within the SIMATIC Locating Manager localization network. It sends its positional
information to the localization network’s nodes (anchors and gateways) which transmit the data
to the localization server for computation and visualization. The device is suitable for installation
into vehicles and devices

2.3.2 Digital output
Both of the device digital outputs can drive ohmic, capacitive and inductive loads. The current
will be limited automatically at this.
In case of inductive loads (e.g. relays) consider the following: Inductivities up to 32 H can be
turned off without flyback diode DV. Higher inductivities require the insertion a flyback diode DV.
When using flyback diode DV, an additional polarity protection diode DPhas to be inserted.
2.3.3 Digital Input
The device has 8 digital inputs, 1 to 8. Each ranges from 0 to 24 V with an impedance of
4.7 kOhm.
Input 8 differs in order that the impedance resistor can be switched off. In that case the input
impedance is 110 kOhm.

3Installation, initial start-up, safety
3.1 General information
•The devices can only be used in combination with the Locating Manager.
•Buildup, installation as well as the use of the tools and clients of the localization system are
described in the corresponding guides and manuals.
3.2 Installation and operation
•Carefully read all items listed in section 3 (Installation, initial start-up, safety) before installing
the devices in order to safeguard correct installation and operation.
•The device is destined for installation into a vehicle.
•The installation has to be carried out by appropriately qualified and trained personnel and
according to the installation guide.
•Follow the references concerning the surrounding conditions when installing and operating the
devices.
•The device has to be protected against moisture.
•The ambient temperature must not exceed 70 °C. Avoid installing devices at locations exposed
to direct sunlight.
•The installation of the devices has to be carried out according to the applicable provisions for
the installation of electrical systems and utilities.
3.3 Connecting the cables
Make sure that any wiring has been carried out correctly before the start-up of the device.
3.3.1 Power supply
•When connecting the power supply to the power connector, all LEDs flash for an instant. The
power LED is on, if power is supplied (cf. states of the LEDs 2.2.1).
•Check whether the nominal voltage of the power supply is in accordance with the values stated
in section “Technical data” (cf. 4).
