Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The Lector61x image-based code reader is suited for automatic, stationary identifica‐
tion and decoding of codes on moving or stationary objects. The product reads 1D
codes and 2D codes. In read mode, the product transmits the read results via a host
interface to a higher-level computer (e.g. PLC) for further centralized processing.
The product is suitable for industrial and logistics applications that require stable and
fast reading of codes. The product meets the applicable requirements for industrial
robustness, interfaces and data processing.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.

Cybersecurity
To protect against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to continuously monitor and
maintain a comprehensive and holistic cybersecurity concept. A suitable concept com‐
prises organizational, technical, procedural, electronic, and physical levels of defense
and provides suitable measures for different types of risks. SICK's products and solu‐
tions must be viewed as a component of this concept.
