ESD Protection
The host enclosure design must provide adequate ESD protection for the
scanner. Ideally, static discharge should not be allowed to discharge to
the scanner. The preferred method to prevent static discharge is to pro-
vide a long discharge path to all circuits. The scanner is intended to be
mounted inside a host enclosure. Only the front surface should be ex-
posed in order to read bar codes. This is to protect the rear interface con-
nector area, which can be susceptible to static discharge. Interface cables
should also not have power applied when inserted into the scanner. Any
metal mounting surfaces for the scanner must be electrically grounded
with proper insulation to the scan engine mounting.
Static discharge (ESD) testing is recommended for the entire system in-
tegration to ensure proper ESD protection.
ESD
Proper ESD protection should be used at the time of instal-
lation and servicing of the scanner or the host equipment.
