Quick start
A PC does not need to be connected when the CLX is operated with the factory default
settings. Code 39, 2/5 Interleaved, and Code 128 are the default code types enabled (free
code lenght, 2/5 Interleaved: interval 4 to 50 characters).
6.3.1
Switching the CLX on for the first time with the factory default settings
1.
Connect the CLX to the AMV/S60 Connection Module using the two cables
no. 2020302.
2.
Connect the reading pulse sensor (e. g. photoelectric reflex switch, switch) to the "Sen-
sor" switching input of the CLX via the AMV/S60 (see
).
3.
Switch on the power supply of the AMV/S60.
The CLX starts. The "Device Ready" LED lights up.
The "Result 1" ("Device Ready") output switches.
CLX with external parameter memory connected (default: Start with ext. parameters):
If an external parameter memory in the connector cover containing a corresponding pa-
rameter set is connected to the CLX, the "Device Ready" LED blinks for 10 s when the
device starts up correctly and then lights up constantly. If the external parameter mem-
ory in the connector cover is empty, the CLX copies its parameter set to the external
parameter memory. Then the "Device Ready" LED lights up. The CLX is ready for oper-
ation.
4.
Start the reading pulse: block the light path of the photoelectric switch or close the
switch. The "Laser On" LED lights up. The CLX switches the laser diode on and the red
scan line appears as a cross.
5.
Present the bar code pattern (
) to the CLX at the reading distance specified in
The scan line must not hit any object in a distance closer to the CLX than the
represented bar code (default setting: autofocus mode "Minimum distance").
6.
Align the bar code in such a way that the red scan line is almost at a 90
°
angle to the
bars.
7.
End the reading pulse: unblock the light path of the photoelectric switch or open the
switch. The "Laser On" LED is extinguished. The CLX switches the laser diode off.
The CLX confirms that the bar code was read successfully (the "Result" LED lights up
for 100 ms). The "Result 2" ("Good Read") output is switched for a duration of 100 ms.
The CLX can now be operated with the factory default settings. The device can be switched
off without the configuration data being lost as no changes have been made to the para-
meter set.
