6.3.6 Devices with integrated heating
When mounting devices with integrated heating, also observe the following points:
• Mount the BCL 308
i
in a way which provides maximum thermal isolation, e.g. using rubber-bonded
metal.
• Mount in such a way that the device is protected from draft and wind; mount additional shields if nec
-
essary.
6.3.7 Possible read angles between BCL 308
i
and bar code
The optimum alignment of the BCL 308
i
is accomplished when the scan line scans the bar code bars
almost at a right angle (90°). All reading angles that are possible between the scan line and bar code must
be taken account (Figure 6.10).
Figure 6.10: Reading angle for the line scanner
α
Azimuth angle (tilt)
β
Inclination angle (pitch)
γ
Angle of rotation (skew)
In order to avoid total reflection, the angle of rotation
J
should be greater than 10°

Cleaning
Clean the glass window of the BCL 308
i
with a soft cloth after mounting. Remove all packaging remains,
e.g. carton fibers or styrofoam balls. In doing so, avoid leaving fingerprints on the front screen of the
BCL 308
i
.
NOTE
When installing the BCL 308
i
in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the scanning beam
can exit the protective housing without obstruction.
ATTENTION!
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as thinner or acetone for cleaning the device.
