Intended use
The CLV is designed to detect and decode bar codes automatically. It is mounted in a
reading station and reads bar codes on objects positioned on a conveyor belt, for example.
In stand-alone configuration the CLV transfers the data content of the decoded bar codes
via its host interface to a host for further processing. Being integrated in the OTS 400 Omni
Tracking System together with other CLVs, the CLV transfers the read results via its CAN in-
terface to the OTC 400 Omni Tracking Controller.
