4.3 Description
Some of the main features of VB12 are listed below:
• miniaturised dimensions, light weight.
• scanning speed: 350 scans/s
• raster version available.
• 2 serial communication interfaces: RS 232 and RS 485.
• reads all popular codes.
• supply voltage: 10 V DC ... 30 V DC,
• test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner
without the need for external tools.
• programmable in 4 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode rea-
ding system requirements.
• code verifier.
• programmable input and output signals.
• light source: visible laser diode; the light emitted has a wave length of
630 nm ... 680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the ”Safety Precautions”
section at the beginning of this manual.
• low power consumption.
• IP65 protection class of the enclosure; the reader is therefore suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.
The laser beam output window is on the side of the scanner in VB12-
ooo
models
and on the upper part of the scanner in VB12-
ooo
-S models, (figure 4.1, pos. 1). A
security system allows the laser to activate only once the motor has reached the
correct rotational speed; consequently, the laser beam is generated after a slight
delay from the power on of the scanner.
4.4 LED indicators
The five LEDs on the scanner indicate the following:
The screw holes on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (see figure 4.1,
pos. 8).
POWER ON (red) indicates the reader is connected to the power supply
(see figure 4.1, pos. 6)
GOOD READ (red) is used to signal the possibility of a successful barcode
reading (see figure 4.1, pos. 3)
EXT. TRIG. (yellow) indicates external trigger activity (see figure 4.1, pos.
5)
TX DATA (green). When blinking, it indicates data transmission (see
figure 4.1, pos. 2)
LASER ON (green) indicates laser ON state
(see figure 4.1, pos. 4)
