Mounting the BCL 8

Device arrangement
Selecting a mounting location
In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:
• size, orientation, and position tolerance of the bar codes on the objects to be scanned.
• the reading field of the BCL 8 in relation to the bar code module width.
• the resulting minimum and maximum read distance from the respective reading field
(For specific information, please refer to chapter 4.4).
• alignment of the bar code reader for avoiding reflections.
• distance between BCL 8 and host system with respect to the interface.
Notice!
The best reading results are obtained when
• the reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• there is no direct sunlight and extraneous light is avoided.
• the bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• you do not use high-gloss labels.
• the bar code is moved past the reading window with a rotational angle > approx. 15°.
• the laser beam is narrowed down for its respective reading task in order to avoid
reflections on shiny components.
