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. The radio
address of the RTLS4030T can be obtained from the data matrix code printed on the device.
Mount the device so that it has a direct line-of-sight connection to the gateways (360°
panorama view). Any type of material can impact wireless localization. Wireless localization
through metal is not possible. In this case, localization via wireless reflections can occur
which results in an inaccurate localization.
Check the device for damages before you use it so that it is not damaged during operation.
The specified operating temperature ranges must be observed.
The device contains a lithium battery.
CAUTION
Fires and burns
Improper handling of batteries can lead result in fires and burns.
The housing of the device must not be squashed, punctured or exposed to other mechanical
influences. It may only be opened to change batteries.
Never expose the device to fire, temperatures above 50 °C or direct sunlight for an extended
period of time.
In dry environments the device battery must be replaced.

Installation & Operation
3.2 Cleaning and maintenance
SIMATIC RTLS4030T
12 Operating Instructions, 06/2020, C79000-G8976-C520-03
Assembling the transponder prior to starting up
Proceed as follows to assemble the transponder prior to starting up:
1. Insert the battery in the battery compartment according to the polarity direction.
2. Close the housing by first placing the top part into the bottom housing and letting it
engage on the bottom.
CAUTION
Remove the battery before returning the device
Remove the battery before returning the device. Batteries must not be returned.
Battery change
CAUTION
Use approved batteries
Installation of non-approved or damaged batteries may result in damage to the device or its
surroundings. Only use batteries approved by the manufacturer, see section "Technical
specifications (Page 13)". Before inserting a battery, make sure that it is not damaged.
Proceed as follows to replace the battery in the transponder:
1. Open the housing at the designated recess on the left-hand side in an upwards direction
using a suitable tool.
2. Remove the battery to be replaced and wait 30 seconds before inserting the new battery
while maintaining the polarity direction.
3. Close the housing again until you hear it click into place.
3.2 Cleaning and maintenance
The enclosure may only be opened to change batteries.
The device may only be repaired or opened for other types of work by an authorized
maintenance company.
Improper opening or repairing of the device may result in risks for the user. Opening the
device without permission renders the warranty of the Siemens AG null and void.
Do not clean the enclosure with liquids or abrasive, caustic or flammable cleaning products.
