The Siemens 6GT2700-6DE13 is a SIMATIC RTLS4060T transponder for the RTLS4000 real-time locating system using UWB phase technology. It operates on two radio bands: 2405 to 2480 MHz (IEEE 802.15.4) and 3100 to 7000 MHz (IEEE 802.15.4-2015 UWB HRP PHY), with country-dependent approvals. The transponder is powered through an 8-pin Bulgin connector (type PX0410/08S/6065) accepting 10 to 30 VDC at up to 3.5 W, and provides two 24 V digital inputs and one digital output rated for 250 mA.
Range and deployment context
Maximum range in open air is 30 m on one band and 500 m on the other — the manual must be followed for actual application limits. The IP65 enclosure (light gray RAL 7035, PC material) means the transponder withstands washdown and outdoor exposure, which is typical for asset-tracking installations on production lines, warehouse zones, or outdoor logistics yards. The 151 mm × 66 mm × 43 mm housing mounts with four M5 screws.
This part carries a manufacturer lifecycle status of NRND — Not Recommended for New Designs. That means it remains available for existing BOM lines and replacement of installed units, but new projects should evaluate the current RTLS product family. Configuration is stored in FLASH memory. The operating temperature range during read/write access is -15 to +50 °C, matching the storage range. No backup battery is fitted.
