Description
Some of the main features of VB14 are listed below:
• small dimensions.
• Software programmable scanning speed.
• Linear and raster versions.
• modulated light versions for immunity to ambient light.
• 2 serial communication interfaces.
• supply voltage from 10 to 30 Vdc.
• reads all popular codes (1 dimensional).
• test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner with-
out the need for external tools.
• programmable in 4 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode
reading system requirements.
• code verifier
• low power consumption.
The VB14 uses a solid state laser diode as a light source; the light emitted has a
wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section "Safety precautions" at the
beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, the reader is therefore suitable for
industrial environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is
required.
The four LEDs on the side of the scanner indicate the following:
The screw holes on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture
(see section 1.1 (5)).
PWR/TXD
LED (red) (figure 1.1 (1)) indicates the reader is connected to
the power supply or, when blinking (green), data transmis-
sion.
GOOD READ
LED (red) (figure 1.1 (3)) is used to signal the possibility of a
successful barcode reading.
EXT TRIG
LED (yellow) (figure 1.1 (2)) indicates external trigger activity.
Refer to see section 9.1.
LASER ON
LASER ONLED (green) (figure 1.1 (4)) indicates laser ON
state.
