5.2

Available models

The VB34 scanner is available in various versions, which differ in the following 
features:

• Optical system (head)
• Decoder (base assembly)

The following models are available:

5.3

Displays

The VB34 decoder base assembly has an LCD display for system messages and 
menus of the configuration software. The three keys on the side of the display are 
used for navigating in the menus of the configuration software (Figure 3.3).

The three status LEDs have the following functions:

Power ON

(Red)

indicates that the reader is switched on (Figure 3.3)

Phase ON

(Yellow)indicates that the presence sensor is activated (Figure 3.3).

TX Data

(Green) indicates that the primary serial interface transmits data 
without errors (Figure 3.3).

5.4

Oscillating mirror models

Oscillating mirror models are used when large reading areas must be covered, mainly 
in the case of horizontal barcodes (picket fence barcodes).

The VB34 contains a special optical head with an integrated oscillating mirror, which 
is driven by a linear motor. Speed, precision, repeatability and reliability of this drive 
technology guarantee a high performance. 

The new oscillating mirror is completely software-controlled and programmable. The 
configuration™ software makes it possible to adjust the speed of the linear motor (and 
thus the oscillation frequency) as well as the upper and lower end position for the 
oscillation process as an angle.

If the oscillating mirror is programmed to read barcodes at a very small angle, position 
the reader in such a way that the visual angle is at least 10° (Chapter 6.4). This angle 
mirrors the smallest deflection or the scanning line that is closest to the horizontal. All 
other scanning lines have a visual angle of more than 10°. This prevents a direct 
reflection of the laser beam emitted by the reader.
