1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DX6400 is a high performance laser scanner in a complete range of industrial bar code
readers offering an innovative and modular solution in terms of reading performance,
connectivity and maintenance, in addition to a completely new hardware and software
platform.
The DX6400 has been specifically designed for simple installation, easy use and flexibility.
An innovative mechanical design together with the Datalogic patent pending
Step-a-Head
TM
feature make it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base
independently from each other. Step-a-Head
TM
enables the DX6400 to always be installed in
the ideal position, by modifying the orientation of the connector panel while leaving the laser
window in the desired position. The need for space is minimized and installation is easier.
The DX6400 has an innovative linear motor designed to control the focus position of the
scanner via software. This dynamic system, called FLASH
TM
,
is able to move the focus
position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position, in less than 10 msec.
In typical applications, where a DOF <1 meter is required, the focus position is adjusted in 4
msec.
The DX6400 can read all most popular barcodes even in the most difficult conditions, thanks
to a new generation decoder with Intel XScale CPU and code reconstruction technology
(ACR™ 4).
Great attention has been given to built-in connectivity for market standards. Lonworks, and
Ethernet bus have been integrated in dedicated versions of the decoder base.
Some of the main features of DX6400 are listed below:
• scanning speed up to 750 scans/sec per scan line (total 1500 scans/sec);
• 2 serial communication interfaces
• reading all popular codes;
• supply voltage from 15 to 30 Vdc;
• electrical connection through connectors;
• high speed Lonworks connectivity for Master/Slave layout;
• built-in connectivity for Ethernet;
• programmable in 5 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode reading
system requirements;

2 INSTALLATION
To install the system follow the given procedure:
1. Select the mounting location for DX6400;
2. Mount the DX6400 scanner;
3. Position the scanner with respect to the barcode;
4. Proceed with system electrical connection;
5. Install the Genius™ program on the PC and configure the scanner;
6. Set the Flash™ dynamic focus by means of the Genius™ software tool.
WARNING
When installing several scanners, take care to position them correctly so that
no laser beam enters the reading window perpendicularly and at the same
level of the output beam of the other scanners. This condition could occur
more frequently for side mounted applications. If these precautions are not
followed, it may occur that the laser of the blinded scanner starts blinking due
to an internal circuit which temporarily turns the laser off when detecting a
power anomaly. To resolve this problem, it is sufficient to slightly change the
inclination and position of one of the two scanners involved.
NOTE
Refer to the Reference Documentation for details on connecting your

2.2 MECHANICAL MOUNTING
2.2.1 Mounting the Scanner
The DX6400 reader can be positioned and installed in the best way possible as a result of
the Step-a-Head™ feature. Thanks to the separation between Head and Base, you can
modify the orientation of the decoder base, and therefore display-keypad and connector
panels, while keeping the optic head in the correct reading position. The reading head and
the decoder base can be rotated independently from each other allowing the installation even
in the most critical locations.

Main Interface
The main serial interface is compatible with the following electrical standards:
RS232
RS485 full-duplex
RS485 half-duplex
(20 mA current loop)
The 20 mA Current Loop interface is available by using the C-BOX 100 with the optional
INT-30 accessory installed in it. The scanner communicates to the C-BOX 100 through the
RS232 interface and the INT-30 converts the signals.
The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) are
selected via software using the Genius™ utility program. For more details refer to the
section "Main Serial Port" in the Genius™ Help On Line.
Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in the
next paragraphs.
RS232 Interface
The main serial interface is used for communication with the Host computer and allows both
transmission of code data and configuring the reader. The overall maximum cable length
should not exceed 15 m (50 ft).
The following pins of the 25-pin and 26-pin connector are used for RS232 interface
connection depending on the reader model:
Pin Name Function
2 TX Transmit
3 RX Receive
4 RTS Request to send
5 CTS Clear to send
7 GND_ISO Main signal ground
The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices.
If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the DX6400 activates the RTS output to
indicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must activate the CTS input to
enable the transmission.

RS485 Full-Duplex Interface
The RS485 full-duplex interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in
point-to-point connections over longer distances than those acceptable for RS232
communications or in electrically noisy environments. The overall maximum cable length
should not exceed 1200 m (3937 ft).
The following pins of the 25-pin and 26-pin connector are used for RS485 full-duplex

Inputs
The inputs of the reader are on the 25-pin and 26-pin connector of the DX6400.
These inputs are called EXT_TRIG/PS, IN2/ENC, IN3 and IN4.
Pin Name Function
18 EXT_TRIG/PS A External trigger (polarity insensitive) for PS
19 EXT_TRIG/PS B External trigger (polarity insensitive) for PS
6 IN2/ENC A Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) for Encoder
10 IN2/ENC B Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) for Encoder
14 IN3A Input signal 3 (polarity insensitive)
15 IN4A Input signal 4 (polarity insensitive)
24 IN_REF Common reference of IN3 and IN4 (polarity insensitive)
IN2/ENC is normally used for the Encoder input. In PackTrack™ mode, it detects the
conveyor speed. The maximum Encoder frequency is 2 KHz.
EXT_TRIG/PS is the main presence sensor. When active, this input tells the scanner to scan
for a code and that decoding can take place. The yellow LED (Figure C,3) indicates the
EXT_TRIG/PS is active.
IN3 and IN4 can be used as the stop signal for the reading phase.
All inputs are optocoupled, polarity insensitive, and driven by a constant current generator;
the command signal is filtered through an anti-disturbance circuit which generates a delay
which can be set to 5 ms or 500 µs. In particular, EXT_TRIG/PS, IN3 and IN4 share the
same value which usually corresponds to 5 ms when using a photoelectric sensor, while
IN2/ENC has a different value which is set to 500 µs when this input is used for the Encoder.
