The Siemens 6GT2700-7DC15 is a SIMATIC RTLS4084T plus transponder for the RTLS4000 real-time locating system, using UWB and phase technology for sub-meter asset tracking indoors and in open-air yards. It carries a 4.3" ePaper display with 400 x 300 pixels and two-color LEDs, plus two function keys for operator interaction — so a person carrying or near the tag can read messages or acknowledge events without a separate terminal. The housing is Ti gray polycarbonate (PC), rated IP54, which means it resists dust ingress and splashing water; fine for warehouse, factory floor, or logistics yard use, but not for washdown zones.
Range, battery life, and deployment context
Maximum range is 30 m or 50 m depending on configuration, stated for open-air applications — the manual governs actual performance, which will be shorter indoors with obstructions. The transponder operates on two radio bands: 2.4–2.48 GHz (IEEE 802.15.4) and 3.1–7.0 GHz (UWB IEEE 802.15.4-2011), with country-specific approvals governing which frequencies are active. Battery life is application-dependent: 8 years in standby, 18 months with UWB localization at a 1-second cycle, or 5 months with display updates every 10 seconds. The battery pack (4 x SAFT LS14500) is field-replaceable and ordered separately — this order code ships without batteries. Storage temperature range is -20 to +50 °C; display operation requires temperatures above 0 °C.
This part carries an NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) lifecycle status. For a category sourcing lead managing a BOM freeze, that means the manufacturer is not actively supporting new deployments with this order code, though existing installations can still be sustained through the supply channel. Sourcing is on a quoted-to-order basis against an RFQ — the part is not a stocked shelf item, and the buyer should expect a confirmed lead time as part of the quotation process. If you are planning a new RTLS4000 deployment, evaluate the current SIMATIC RTLS transponder portfolio for an active-design alternative.
Mounting and physical integration
Dimensions are 118.6 mm wide, 99.4 mm deep, and 26 mm high. Fastening is via customer-specific mounting bag or double-sided tape — no DIN-rail clip, so panel or wall mounting requires the accessory kit. The memory configuration holds 5 background images, 20 fonts, and 20 text fields of up to 58 characters each, stored in flash. Configuration memory is retained without a backup battery.
