Mounting the external components
4.4.1
Mounting the AMV/S60 Connection Module
1.
Mount the AMV/S60 Connection Module near the CLX.
The distance between the AMV/S60 and CLX should not exceed max. 10 m.
2.
Mount the AMV/S60 in such a way that accessed to the open device is always possible.
The auxiliary interface of the CLX is accessed via the internal "Service" plug.
Detailed information on the mounting and electrical installation procedures is provided in the
Operating Instructions for the
"AMV/S60 Connection Module"
(order no. 8008296).
4.4.2
Mounting the external reading pulse sensor
If the CLX is triggered by an external reading pulse sensor, the sensor must be mounted in
the vicinity of the CLX. The "Sensor" switching input is selected as the default trigger source
for this trigger type. The default debounce time of the input is 30 ms.
Depending on the application, you may need to mount the sensor in such a way that bar
codes on objects of different sizes can be read completely during the reading interval. The
exact position fo the external sensor in relation to the scanner can be seen in
onwards
page
Note
In default setting, the CLX operates in the autofocus mode "Minimum distance“. As a result,
the CLX focuses on the object that is nearest. The view on the object with the scan line must
be unobstructed, i. e. any other objects must not protude into the autofocus space. If they
do so, the autofocus mode "Differential background“ must be selected. Alternatively a fixed
focus position can be set.
1.
Mount the reading pulse sensor.
2.
Connect the reading pulse sensor to the "Sensor" switching input of the CLX via the
AMV/S60 Connection Module (see
Chapter 5.5.7 Connecting the switching inputs,
).
3.
Connect the CLX to the AMV/S60 Connection Module and switch on the power supply
to the module (see
Chapter 5.5.3 Connecting the supply voltage, Page 5-13
After it has started, the CLX confirms that the self-test was successfull and switches to
Reading mode ("Device Ready" LED lights up).
4.
Connect the PC to the auxiliary interface of CLX. To do so, connect a 3-core RS 232
data cable (null modem cable) to the internal 9-pin "Service" plug of the AMV/S60 (see
Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the PC, Page 5-15
5.
Start Windows and the "CLV-Setup" program (see
Chapter 10.6.3 Starting CLV-Setup,
).
6.
From the V
IEW
menu, choose R

.
The Terminal Emulator is launched. The CLX is in Reading mode (default: SMART/
Standard Decoder).
Monitor the reading result during each of the subsequent steps!
7.
Move objects with bar codes into the CLX reading field manually under realistic condi-
tions and check whether the reading result and trigger pulse are correct.
8.
Repeat the procedure with the conveyor switched on. Check whether the reading
procedure is synchronized with the objects.
