Status LEDs  

The PENTA Scanner

 

has two integrated multicolor LEDs on the front. The right LED shows the power 

connection status of the device. The left LED is for custom use and can be controlled by the application 

using the device API. If configured for autonomous operation (BGR, CKI), the device can report the 
status of any read operation by controlling the LEDs itself. The respective behavior can be configured 

in the device.  
 

 

Buzzer 

An  internal  buzzer  is  available  for  audible  user  feedback.  The  buzzer  volume  and  duration  can  be 

adjusted by the application using the device API. If configured for autonomous operation (BGR, CKI), 
the device can report the status of any read operation by controlling the buzzer itself. The respective 

behavior can be configured in the device.
