The Siemens 6GT2700-5DC03 is a SIMATIC RTLS4083T UWB transponder built for the RTLS4000 real-time locating system using UWB phase technology. It carries a 2.7-inch ePaper display with 296 x 128 pixels and a two-color LED, one function key, and configuration memory on flash. Range tops out at 30 m in one operating mode and 50 m in another (open-air figures; the manual governs actual deployment). It communicates on IEEE 802.15.4-2015 HRP UWB in the 3.1–7 GHz band and also on 2.4–2.48 GHz, depending on regional approvals. The Li-ion battery is rechargeable via charging contacts; typical battery life is 1 year in standby, 6 months with UWB localization at a 1-second cycle, and 25 days with display updates every 10 seconds. The battery is not field-replaceable.
The RTLS4000 system is current; the transponder is a spare part for that ecosystem. For procurement planning, treat it as a steady-state component with no imminent phase-out signal.
Deployment context — where this transponder fits
Mounts via cable ties or the included mounting clips — no DIN rail, no panel cutout. The IP54 rating and PC housing mean it can be strapped to a machine frame, a pallet rack, or a vehicle in a dusty or damp indoor environment. Operating temperature for display operation is 0 to 40 °C; on the charger, 10 to 40 °C. Outside the read/write area, storage range is -10 to +50 °C. It is silicon-free, which matters if the transponder sits near coating or potting lines. The transponder is a tag, not an access point — it reports location to the RTLS4000 infrastructure. The single function key and ePaper display are for on-device status and basic interaction. Configuration memory is flash-based, holding 5 background images, 20 fonts, and 20 text fields of up to 58 characters each.
