BA-440 DualBeam Barcode Reader Quickstart Guide Ver 5

12. Turn Reader On

Turn Main Power switch On (refer to illustration for location) . You 
will hear a short beep and the output relays click as the gold polygon 
begins to spin. Within 15 seconds the laser will turn on and the 
BA-440 will be ready to operate. Use the enclosed sample barcode 
or a decal from the site for testing.

Hold the decal as shown and pass it through the laser lines at least 
two feet away from the reader. A successful read results in a short 
beep from the BA-440 and data transmission out both the serial port 
and Wiegand port. Decal should read out to at least 6’ out from the
reader. 

NOTE: You must wait at least 1 second after a read before 

the BA-440 will read the same barcode decal again.

13. Test Wiegand output with Verifier

The BA-440-Verifier-Output for the model BA-440 reader includes a test tool for detecting valid 26 
bit Wiegand messages. The Verifier can be used when installed in a BA-440 reader or used as a 
handheld Wiegand message verifier.
