Laser Description and Safety Information
All ABR 3000 contain one aiming laser source used to position the reader. Disconnect the power supply when opening the device during main-
tenance or installation to avoid exposure to hazardous laser light. The laser beam can be switched on or off through a software command.
These products conform to the applicable requirements of IEC 60825-1 and comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 except for deviations pursuant to
Laser Notice N° 50, date June 24, 2007. This product is classified as a Class 1 M laser product according to IEC 60825-1 regulations.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to
the manufacturer.
Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intra-
beam viewing.
Installation Instructions
Set the Focus
The reader is factory-calibrated at three focus positions (45 mm, 70 mm, and 125 mm for WVGA models; 45 mm, 80 mm, and 125 mm for 1.2
MP models). The focus range is continuous to provide fine-tuning for your application. This means you can select a focus position different
than these three positions.
1. Determine the focus position needed for your application. The following tables show the reading ranges at the three focus positions
for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) 10 mil resolution codes.

2. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, rotate the focus ring at the back of the reader to one of the three pre-calibrated distances or to the desired
distanced according to your application.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the focus ring beyond the focus scale limits; damage to the focus mechanism can oc-
cur.
Refer to the Reading Diagrams in the Instruction Manual which show the reading ranges at the different focus positions for Code 128
(1D) and Data Matrix (2D) codes.
Mount the Reader
Note: Mount the device at a 10° to 15° angle from the target to avoid direct reflections.
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the mounting
screws at this time.
3. Check the device alignment.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.
