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

1 Overview
1.1 General
The transponder SIMATIC RTLS4083T 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. Simultaneously, information from the
wireless system can be transmitted to and displayed on the screen.
1.2 Delivery contents
•1 SIMATIC RTLS4083T (article number 6GT2700-5DC03)
Accessories (not included in scope of delivery)
•Charging station for 10 transponders (article number 6GT2790-0DD00)
1.3 Power supply
The power supply of the device is realized via a 1 cell lithium polymer accumulator (3.7 V).
Power supply with conventional battery cells is not possible. The lithium polymer accumulator is
not exchangeable.
1.4 Areas of application
The device is designed for an operation temperature range from 0 to +40 °C. If just location
without changes of the display information is needed, the lower temperature limit can be
extended to -10 °C. The device is protected against water splashing on all sides (IP54) and is
therefore temporarily operational in outdoor applications.
