Audible status indicator (beeper)
Default: 1 sound when at least one transponder is in the UHF field
6.3 microSD memory card (optional accessory)
Function
The device can execute the following functions on the plug-in memory card:
•Automated, additional storage of the internal parameter set to an external
storage medium (cloning function), if available. This is done in the framework
of the recommended safety concept for the 4Dpro device parameter sets.
The function is triggered by saving the internal parameter set with the “per‐
manent” option. The function is used, among other things, to conveniently
transmit the parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in the event
of an error. Optional external media include a memory card which can be
plugged into the device or the CMC600 parameter storage module, which
can be used in the optional connection module, e.g., CDB650-204 or
CDM420-0006.
•Continuous recording of diagnostic read data after the first manual start,
e.g., via SOPAS ET. Recording is resumed after a device restart when the
function is set permanently.
The first time a parameter set is stored, we recommend that an empty memory
card is used (if necessary, check and delete the contents of the card on the PC
using a card reader).
The memory card is not included with delivery.
Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable function of the memory card,
see www.sick.com/RFU63x. The memory card has no write protection that can be
activated.
Inserting the memory card
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure there is no power to the
device when you insert or remove it.
The card slot can be accessed on the device behind the aluminum cover, see
Device description, page 4.
Maintaining enclosure rating IP67: see Safety information, page 1.
1. Switch off the supply voltage to the device.
2. To remove the cover, unscrew both Allen screws (A/F 2).
3. Making sure it is in the correct position (with the contacts pointing to the
front and down – see the symbol on the device), insert the memory card into
the card slot until it locks into place.
4. Screw the aluminum cover back on. Recommended tightening torque for the
cover screws: 40 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.
5. Switch the supply voltage for the device back on.

6. Once it is switched on, the device automatically detects the presence of a
memory card and, depending on the card’s content, behaves as follows:
°If the card is empty or if it contains a parameter set that cannot be
interpreted by the device, the device saves its currently valid internal
parameter set to the card (provided there is sufficient storage space)
and starts with the internal parameter set.
°If the card contains a parameter set that can be interpreted by the
device, the device overwrites the currently valid internal parameter set
with this external parameter set.
The goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set saved
externally to always be identical.
NOTICE
Possible data loss or irreparable damage to the memory card!
The “microSD” LED lights up green when a memory card which is ready for
operation is inserted into the device. In this state, the device can either read
data from the card or write data to the card. Access to the card itself is not
signaled by the device (compare electronic camera with memory card).
The “microSD” LED lights up yellow when, for example, a function which
requires a memory card has been started manually with SOPAS ET and the
card is not ready for operation (e.g., not inserted, contacts are contaminated,
or no free storage space).
bTo avoid damaging the memory card, make sure there is no power to the
device when you insert or remove it.
bIf parameter values are changed with the “permanent” option in the
device using the SOPAS ET configuration software while the memory
card is inserted or if functions are started which access the memory
card (e.g., logging of data), do not remove the memory card and do not
switch off the supply voltage.
bIn order to remove the memory card in a controlled manner while work‐
ing with SOPAS ET when the device is switched on, select the Remove SD
card function under Analysis/SD card and wait for confirmation from
SOPAS ET.
7 Maintenance and care
The device does not contain any components that require maintenance.
If they are contaminated (e.g., metal dust), clean the front plates of the exter‐
nal antennas carefully using a soft, damp cloth (with a mild cleaning agent)
in order to achieve the full read and write speed.
8 Transport and storage
Transport and store the device in the original packaging, with protective plugs and
caps completely screwed-on. Do not store outdoors. To ensure that any residual
moisture present can escape, do not store the device in airtight containers. Do
not expose to any aggressive substances.
Storage conditions: Dry, dust-free, no direct sunlight, as little vibration as possi‐
ble, storage temperature –30 °C to +70 °C, relative humidity max. 90% (non-con‐
densing).
9 Repairs
Repair work on the device may only be performed by qualified and authorized ser‐
vice personnel from SICK AG.
10 Disassembly and disposal
Any device which can no longer be used must be disposed of in an environmen‐
tally friendly manner in accordance with the applicable country-specific waste dis‐
posal regulations. As it is categorized as electronic waste, the device must never
be disposed of with household waste!
