English
1. General description
The IZAR OPTO HEAD BT 2 (IZAR OH BT 2) is an optical reading head
that can be connected to static or mobile computers via a Bluetooth inter-
face. Laptops or PCs can be retrofitted with this interface if necessary
using a Bluetooth USB adapter.
The optical interface offers the two standards IrDA and ZVEI, which
means all Diehl Metering Group meters with an optical interface can be
read and configured. The IZAR OH BT 2 is switched between ZVEI and
IrDA by Diehl Metering programs either automatically or must be set in
the software according to the interface of the meter to be read.
The IZAR OH BT 2 is equipped with a lithium ion battery for approx. 14
hours of continuous operation. Charging a completely flat battery takes
about 3.5 hours.
The operating statuses are indicated by four coloured LEDs. An on/off
switch is built into the device for easy operation. The IZAR OH BT also has
a metal ring to fasten a carrying strap.

enclosed USB plug-in standard power supply. The optical reading head
should be switched off during charging.
To communicate with a terminal (e.g. an electronic water meter), place
the optical reading head on the optical communication interface provided
for this purpose, then switch on the reading head. the status LEDs indi-
cate that the IZAR OH BT 2 is ready for operation.
Now use your computer to activate the relevant communication function.
The transmission range is up to 10 metres. If transmission is poor, turn
the reading head slightly and try again.
Switch off the IZAR OH BT 2 when communication is finished to save the
battery and increase the operating period of the device.
