Correct handling
5.1
General
The REA MLV-2D is an optical instrument that features a camera and a built-in lighting
system. The optics module (see section 4.8) must never be used as a handle. Falls
and physical shocks will damage the REA MLV-2D.
The network cable is locked into the socket (see section 4.6). To remove the plug, a
small plastic lever on the plug releases the lock. This socket/plug combination is fairly
delicate in mechanical terms (rugged industrial plugs were deliberately not used
because they are very large and require the use of expensive, hard-to-find specialised
cables). Simply pulling at the cable to remove it destroys the socket. The plug should
not be subjected to any pulling, pressure or physical shocks. Pulling the cable from
either side is very likely to damage it. Tensile strains may damage or destroy not only
the cable but also the socket built into the verifier device.
The measurement position is always decided by the base plate. The code to be
verified must be placed on the same level as the base plate. In the simplest case, this
will be a label lying flat on a table and the device will be placed onto it.

The network cable must not be removed until the
device has been switched off. If the cable is removed
beforehand, this can cause data errors, leading to
errors in the application.
