Starting up the device – Configuration
10.1 Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning
10.2 Starting the device
10.2.1 Power-on test
After connecting the operating voltage, the bar code reader performs an automatic "Power On" function
test.
• During the start-up phase, the status LED flashes green.
• If the status LED is permanently lit green, the bar code reader is ready for operation. Any stored cus
-
tomer-specific settings are active.
10.2.2 Interface
Proper function of the interface can most easily be tested in service operation using the RS 232 interface
with the
Sensor Studio
configuration software.
10.2.3 Online commands
Using the online commands, important device functions can be checked, e.g. reading activation (see
chapter 11 "Online commands").
You can use online commands to directly send control and configuration commands to the device.
You can send online commands with a terminal program or with the
Sensor Studio
configuration software
(see chapter 9 "Configuration and diagnostics software - Sensor Studio").
10.2.4 Problems
For information on how to proceed in the event of problems during commissioning of the devices, see
chapter 12.3 "Diagnostics and troubleshooting".
If a problem occurs that cannot be rectified even after checking all electrical connections and settings on
the devices and on the host, contact your responsible Leuze subsidiary or Leuze customer service (see
chapter 12.4 "Service and support").
10.3 Starting up with factory settings
Connect the operating voltage (+10 … 30 V DC).
If applicable, connect the switching input and the RS 232 interface.
Switch on the operating voltage. The status LED must illuminate green.
Activate the bar code reader via the switching input or with the ‘+‘ online command. The laser switches
itself on.
Hold the following sample bar code up to the bar code reader at a distance of approx. 100 mm.
NOTE
Observe the notices for device arrangement (see chapter 6.2.1 "Device arrangement").
If possible, always trigger the bar code reader with the aid of commands or an external trans
-
ducer (photoelectric sensor).
D
Only then can you be certain whether a code has been read (code contents are transmitted)
or not (the NoRead character is transmitted at the end of the reading gate).
Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the device.
Before connecting the operating voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they have
been properly made.
