Starting up the device – Basic configuration
8.1
Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning
NOTICE
Ä
Observe the notices for device arrangement (see chapter 6.1 "Determining the mounting po-
sition of the code reader").
Ä
If possible, always trigger the code reader with the aid of commands or an external signal
transmitter (e.g. photoelectric sensor/diffuse sensor).
ð
Only then can you be certain whether a code has been read (code contents are trans-
mitted) or not (the "NO READ" character is transmitted at the end of the reading gate).
Ä
Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the de-
vice.
Ä
Before connecting the operating voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they have
been properly made.
NOTICE
No additional configuration software is necessary for commissioning.
8.2
Starting the device
Ä
Connect the 18 V … 30 V DC operating voltage.
Ä
After applying the operating voltage, the device operates with the factory settings:
• Activation of the reading gate via SWI1. The integrated illumination becomes visible.
• If a code is detected, it is output via the interfaces.
• Protocol of the RS 232 interface:
<STX><Code data><CR><LF>
(9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)
• With the factory settings, the device can decode the following code types:
• 2/5 Interleaved; number of digits: 10
• Code 128; number of digits: 4 … 63
• Code 39; number of digits: 4 … 30
• EAN 8/13; number of digits: 8 and 13
• UPC; number of digits: 8 ... 12
• Codabar; number of digits: 4 … 63
• Code 93; number of digits: 4 … 63
• GS1 DataBar OMNIDIRECTIONAL; number of digits: 14
• GS1 DataBar LIMITED; number of digits: 14
• GS1 DataBar EXPANDED; number of digits: 14 … 21
• GS1 DataBar TRUNCATED; number of digits: 14
• DataMatrix code ECC200; number of digits: 10x10 … 144x144, or 8x18 … 16x48
• QR code; number of digits: 11x11 … 161x161
• Aztec code; number of digits: 11x11 … 151x151
NOTICE
Deviations from these settings must be set via the webConfig tool (see chapter 9 "Commission-
ing – Leuze electronic webConfig tool").
