1.4 About the Reader The Balluff BVS HS-Px series is a family of feature-rich and rugged area image readers. It is
offered in several different models to better fit the different needs of each customer.
The main model categories are:
- BVS HS-PC: Corded models.
- BVS HS-PW: Bluetooth models.
Within each category, further differentiating features are available, described by the part number
suffix:
- DPM: models with laser, ink jet and dot peen reading capability
- HP: models with autofocus optic
Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications set-
tings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be done by
reading the programming barcodes within this guide or you can ask Balluff to program it for you.
Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve the
illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency. Whether used in Single
Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable
handling during extended periods of use.
See "Interface Selection" on page 14 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets by
model type.
NOTE
Notes contain information necessary for properly diagnosing, repairing
and operating the reader.

ment or property.
