Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit: (https://new.siemens.com/global/en/company/topic-areas/future-of-
manufacturing/industrial-security.html)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers’ exposure
to cyber threats.

3.1 Notes on installation
Note
Before you install the devices, read this section carefully to ensure trouble
-free installation
and commissioning.
The devices can only be used in conjunction with the RTLS localization system.
An adhesive label with the serial number is attached to the transponder.
The transponder is installed in an enclosure so that it is no longer visible (e.g. electric
screwdriver). After installing the transponder, you need to attach the adhesive label with the
serial number to the enclosure in such a way that the serial number can be easily read from
the outside and the label cannot be wiped off.
The label is required to identify the device with the installed transponder in the
Locating Manager.
3.2 Cleaning and maintenance
The device may only be opened by suitably trained and qualified users. Only authorized
dealers are permitted to repair the device.
Unauthorized opening of and improper repairs to the device may cause substantial risks to
the user. As soon as the device was opened without permission, warranty and liability of the
Siemens AG are rendered null and void.
Do not clean the enclosure with abrasive, alkaline or aggressive cleaning products or aids.

FCC information
Siemens SIMATIC RTLS PCB OEM AC (6GT2700-8DF10-0AX1); FCC ID NXWOEMAC
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Caution
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Host labelling guidance for the end integrator
This is an advise for host manufacture to provide a physical / e-label on their host product
stating, "Contains FCC ID: NXWOEMAC":
A permanently affixed label must be used. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its
own FCC identification number, and, if the FCC identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the
module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior

Host labelling guidance for the end integrator
This is an advise for host manufacture to provide a physical / e-label on their host product
stating, "Contains IC: 267X-OEMAC":
A permanently affixed label must be used. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its
own IC identification number, and, if the IC identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the
module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior
label can use wording such as the following: "Contains Transmitter Module IC: 267X-

integrator.
Instructions d'étiquetage de l'hôte pour l'intégrateur final
Il est conseillé aux fabricants de l’hôte de prévoir une étiquette physique / électronique sur
leur produit hôte indiquant : "Contient le CI : 267X-OEMAC" :
Utiliser une étiquette apposée de façon permanente. L'émetteur modulaire doit être étiqueté
avec son propre numéro d'identification de CI et, si le numéro d'identification de CI n'est pas
visible lorsque le module est installé à l'intérieur d'un autre matériel, l'extérieur du matériel
dans lequel le module est installé doit également porter une étiquette faisant référence au
module joint. Cette étiquette extérieure peut utiliser une formulation telle que la suivante :
"Contient le module CI émetteur : 267X-OEMAC" ou "Contient le CI : 267X-OEMAC". Toute
formulation de signification identique peut être utilisée. Le manuel doit inclure les instructions
d'étiquetage de l'hôte pour l'intégrateur final.
