Mounting location
When selecting a mounting location, pay attention to:
• Maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• Possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging
material residues.
• Lowest possible chance of damage to the BCL 558
i
by mechanical collision or jammed
parts.
• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the bar code).
6.3.5
Devices with integrated heating
For devices with integrated heating, also observe the following points:
• Mount the BCL 558
i
in a way which provides maximum thermal isolation, e.g. using
rubber-bonded metal.
• Mount in such a way that the device is protected from draft and wind; mount additional
shields if necessary.
Notice!
When installing the BCL 558
i
in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the scanning
beam can exit the protective housing without obstruction.

The BCL 558
i
should be mounted in such a way that the scanning
beam is incident on the bar code at an angle of inclination greater
than ±25° to vertical.
