Device overview
3.1.1
About the bar code reader
The bar code reader is a laser scanner with integrated decoder for all commonly used bar codes, e.g.
2/5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 128, EAN etc.
• The reading field is optimized for the reading of sample tubes, reagent containers, etc., in laboratory
automation.
• Reliable reading of 80 mm high code labels at a short distance.
• Due to the small dimensions of the unit and the variants with frontal or lateral beam exit, the bar code
reader can also be used in highly constrained spaces.
• The many possible configurations of the device allow it to be adapted to a multitude of reading tasks.
• Information on technical data and characteristics: see chapter 12 "Technical data".
3.1.2
Stand-alone operation
The bar code reader is operated as a "stand-alone" single device. The electrical connection of the operat-
ing voltage, the interface and the switching input is made via a 12-pin M12 connector or via a 15-pin Sub-D
connector.
