It reads RF600 transponders in the 865–868 MHz band at up to 400 kbit/s, with an effective radiated power adjustable from 10 to 500 mW. The 600 mm read range and multitag capability make it suited for warehouse gate, pallet tracking, and work-in-progress identification on a factory floor. IP54 protection means the reader is dust-protected and splash-resistant — fine for a dry warehouse or light industrial environment, but not for washdown zones or outdoor rain exposure. The 8-hour typical battery life on the 3 Ah lithium-ion pack covers a full shift of intermittent scanning; the battery is permanently installed and not customer-replaceable, so plan for a docking station (listed as an accessory) for recharging between shifts. The VGA color touchscreen (3.6 inch, 480 x 640 pixels) and alphanumeric keypad let operators enter data or navigate menus without a separate terminal. Windows Embedded CE 5.0 runs the RF610M.exe application for transponder execution, and.NET/C++ programming via the RFID reader interface API allows custom application development. The reader communicates via a tether port with RS232 and USB 1.1, or through the docking connection with low insertion force (LIF) contacts. The WLAN module accessory enables wireless data transfer to a host system. For fixed-position use, the charging/docking station keeps the battery topped up and provides a wired network link. The 1.5 m drop height rating is a rough-handling spec — it will survive a fall from a workbench or forklift step, but not a throw.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6GT2813-0BC00 SIMATIC RF680M Mobile Reader, ETSI UHF","metaDescription":"Siemens 6GT2813-0BC00 SIMATIC RF600 Mobile Reader RF680M ETSI.
