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.
Proper use of Siemens products
Note the following:
WARNING
Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products
and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage,
installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any

Characteristics
The SIMATIC RF690L High Temp Smartlabel is a passive and maintenance-free data carrier. It operates based on the
UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used to store the "Electronic Product Code" (EPC). The transponder also has a user
memory.
The SIMATIC RF690L achieves a read distance of up to 4.5 m and can also be mounted on metal.

Memory organization
Transponders with an "Alien Higgs 3" chip have an EPC memory with a standard size of 96 Bits (12 bytes). When
necessary, the EPC memory size can be expanded to 480 bits (60 bytes) in steps of 16 bits at the cost of the user memory.
The following table shows how many bytes can be added to the EPC memory and how this affects the size of the user
memory.

Storage and transportation
NOTICE
Notes on storage and transportation of rolls
Note the following information on the storage and transportation of rolls:
• Protect the transponders from direct sunlight and heat (e.g. heating appliances).
• Prior to use, store the label rolls in the polyethylene bag or the shrink film of the original packaging.
• Store the label rolls in a cool and dry location.
Ideal conditions: 18 °C ±5 °C, 40-60 % humidity
• Stack several label rolls lying flat and centered one above the other.
•
Avoid external pressure (e.g. a narrow box).
