Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The image-based code reader Lector63x is an intelligent SICK-4Dpro sensor.
The following device versions are available within the Lector63x Flex device variant line
to suit different applications:
•
Complete devices
in different configurations as ready-to-use variants. The com‐
plete devices are equipped with a lens and an integrated illumination unit. The
integrated illumination unit is located inside the optics protective hood.
•
Basic devices
(camera housing) as kit variants. The customer can freely configure
the basic devices for his application. SICK offers a comprehensive range of
optional accessories for this purpose. The complete devices are also based on
these accessories.
NOTE
Complete devices and basic devices with accessories are referred to simply as “device”
in the following sections.
The device is used for automated, stationary identification and decoding of codes on
moving or stationary objects. The device reads all commonly used 1D codes (bar codes,
stacked codes) and 2D codes (matrix codes). The device can be used either as a stand-
alone solution or as part of a group in a CAN network. In read mode, the device trans‐
mits the read results via a host interface to a higher-level computer for further central‐
ized processing.
The device is designed for use in industrial and logistics areas, and meets the require‐
ments for industrial ruggedness, interfaces and data processing.
NOTICE
Only the VI55I illumination units from SICK intended for integration in this application
can be used as integratable illumination units.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
2.1.1
Conditions for specified enclosure rating
The camera housing of the device does not have a specified enclosure rating. When
mounted, the device achieves the specified IP67 enclosure rating. To ensure compli‐
ance with the specified IP67 enclosure rating of the device during operation, the follow‐
ing requirements must be met: If these requirements are not met, the device does not
fulfill any specified enclosure rating.
•
The cables plugged into the electrical M12 connections and M8 connections must
be screwed tight.
•
Any electrical M12 connections and M8 connections that are not being used must
be sealed with a tightly-fastened protective cap (as in the delivery condition).
•
The blue cover at the top of the device must be flush with the device and screwed
tight.
•
The optics protective hood must be screwed tightly onto the device.
