BA-440 DualBeam Barcode Reader Quickstart Guide Ver 5

7. Mount Decoder on Baseplate

Unpack and set decoder module on Baseplate as shown with the 4 threaded studs passing through the holes on the decoder. Take care not 
to get fingerprints or dirt on the optics, particularly the gold polygon. This gold polygon should face the road with the terminal block for 
connections at the rear of the Baseplate. Use the four 5/16” nylock nuts on the threaded studs to secure the decoder module in place. 
Recommend using a 10” socket extension with the 5/16” socket to tighten the nylock nuts.
