3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Handling
Proper handling ensures that the ABR will function correctly.
The ABR is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is built to withstand vibration and shock when correctly
installed. However, it is also a precision product and before and during installation it must be handled properly to avoid
damage.
•
Do not drop the device (exceeding shock limits)
• Do not fine tune the positioning by striking the device or the bracket
•
Do not weld the device into position; this can cause electrostatic, heat, or reading window damage
• Do not spray paint near the reader; this can cause reading window damage
3.2 Set the Focus
The reader is factory-calibrated at three focus positions (45 mm, 70 mm, and 125 mm for WVGA models; 45 mm, 80 mm,
and 125 mm for 1.2 MP models). The focus range is continuous to provide

3.4 Position the Reader
The ABR is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles; however significant angular distortion may degrade reading
performance.
When mounting the ABR, consider these ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°. The reader can
read a code at any tilt angle provided the code fits into the Field Of View (FOV).
Note: Because the ABR is omni-directional on the code plane, the Pitch and Skew angles have the same
significance
performance can be improved by modifying the Skew angle.
The Pitch, Skew and Tilt angles are represented in the following figure.

3.6 Typical Layouts
The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also require the correct setup of the
software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular
layout. Most examples show the optional, but recommended, TCNM-ACBB1 connection box (see
Connections
on page 20).
Important:
When using a TCNM-ACBB1 with an ABR 3000:
•
The Input setting Line Type must be set to PNP
• The Trigger and Input 2 indicator LED's are not functional in the TCNM-ACBB1 box
• Any input signals to the TCNM-ACBB1 must be PNP current sourcing signals
TCNM-ACBB1 Electrical
Important: ABR 3000 readers do not have auxiliary serial interfaces. Therefore neither data monitoring nor
configuration can be performed through this interface.
device
ABR 3000 readers can be configured in Barcode Manager through the Ethernet, Main Serial, or USB
interfaces depending on the reader model.
3.6.1 Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is possible in two different layouts. In a Point-to-Point layout the reader is connected to a local
host by using a STP-M12D-4xx cable. There is no need to use a crossover adapter because ABR incorporates an autocross
function.
When using a Local Area Network (LAN), one or more ABR readers can be connected to the network using STP-M12D-4xx
cables.
3.6.2 Serial or I/O Connections on USB Models
The CSB-M121701USB02M121702 accessory Y-cable allows the USB interface to be used with input/output signals
between the ABR 3000 reader and the I/O devices.
To connect the system in a Serial point-to-point configuration using a connection box, you need the hardware indicated in
Figure 13
ABR power and I/O device connections take place through the TCNM-ACBB1 connection box using the MQDEC-1703SSDB25 accessory cable.
If a connection box is not used, the MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 cable could be replaced with a MQDC2S-17xx cable to wire to
the I/O devices directly. In this case the I/O will be referenced to ground, which is connected to both the USB and I/O side
of the Y connector.
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a
pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

ABR 3000 Series Barcode Reader
Figure 13. Serial Interface Point-to-Point Layout for USB Models
All devices always support multiple output channels (that is, for data monitoring).
3.6.3 Pass-Through
The pass-through layout allows each device working alone, to collect data from one or more pass-through input channels
and send this data plus its own on one or more different output channels.
In this way independent devices can be connected together in combinations to create multi device networks. Many devices
reading independently can send their messages through a common output channel which instead of being directed at a
Host can be collected by another device on its pass-through input channel and sent to a Host on a different output channel.
In a Pass-through layout each device supports multiple pass-through configurations to accept input from different devices
on different channels (middle reader, above). However, readers are not required to have a pass-through configuration if they
don’t need to receive data from an input channel (right reader, above). The overall data collection device always has at least
one pass-through configuration to collect the input data from the other devices and send it to the Host (left reader, above).
All devices always support multiple output channels (that is, for data monitoring).
In a Pass-through layout each device can have a different operating mode: Continuous, One Shot, Phase Mode, etc.
For ABR 3000 models, the USB connection is possible in different layouts.

3.7.6 Ethernet Interface
The Ethernet interface can be used for TCP/IP communication with a remote or local host computer by connecting the
reader to either a LAN or directly to a host PC. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since ABR incorporates an
auto-cross function.
A STP-M12D-4xx can be used to connect to a LAN.
On the ABR Ethernet interface the following communication channels are available:
•
TCP Client
• TCP Server
• UDP Channel
• FTP Client
The following Industrial Ethernet protocols are also available over the Ethernet interface:
• EtherNet/IP
• Modbus TCP Client
3.8 TCNM-ACBB1 Electrical Connections
All ABR models can be connected to a TCNM-ACBB1 connection box through the MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 accessory cable.
This cable terminates in an M12 17- pin connector on the ABR side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the TCNMACBB1 side.
Make system connections through one of the TCNM-ACBB1 connection boxes because they offer the advantages of easy
connection, easy device replacement, opto-isolated outputs (Outputs 1 and 2), and filtered reference signals.
Use this pinout only when the ABR is connected to the TCNM-ACBB1 by means of the MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 accessory
cable.
When using a TCNM-ACBB1 with an ABR 3000:
•
The Input setting Line Type must be set to PNP
• The Trigger and Input 2 indicator LED's are not functional in the TCNM-ACBB1 box
• Any input signals to the TCNM-ACBB1 must be PNP current sourcing signals

Shielded cables are recommended. The overall maximum cable length must be less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
RS422 Full-Duplex Interface
The RS422 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in point-to-point
connections over longer distances (maximum 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for RS232 communications or in
electrically noisy environments.

3.8.4 Inputs
There are two opto-isolated, polarity insensitive inputs available through the TCNM-ACBB1 that require PNP input signals
to use with an ABR 3000: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input.
The External Trigger can be used in One Shot Mode or in Phase Mode. Its main functions are:
Acquisition trigger in One Shot Mode
•
• Reading phase-ON/reading phase-OFF command in Phase Mode
The main functions of the general purpose Input 2 are:
• Second external trigger in Phase Mode
• Match code storage command when the Match Code option is enabled
The electrical features of both inputs are:
VAB = 30 V dc maximum
IIN = 10 mA (reader) + 12 mA (TCNM-ACBB1) maximum
The active state of these inputs are selected in software.

When using a TCNM-ACBB1 with an ABR 3000:
•
The Input setting Line Type must be set to PNP
• The Trigger and Input 2 indicator LED's are not functional in the TCNM-ACBB1 box
• Any input signals to the TCNM-ACBB1 must be PNP current sourcing signals
External Trigger Input Connections Using ABR Power
CAUTION: Power from the Vdc/GND spring clamps is available directly to the Input Device on the +V/-V
spring clamps, and does not pass through the Power Switch (ON/OFF) inside the TCNM-ACBB1.
Disconnect the power supply when working inside the TCNM-ACBB1.

CAUTION: When Outputs 1 and 2 are connected through the TCNM-ACBB1 connection box, they
become opto-isolated and polarity sensitive and acquire the electrical characteristics listed below. To
function correctly, they require setting the Output Line Type configuration parameters to NPN for the
respective output. The hardware connection to the TCNM-ACBB1 can be either NPN or PNP.
Two general purpose outputs are available and their meaning can be defined by the user. They are typically used either to
signal the data collection result or to control an external lighting system.

Power Reference Outputs
The electrical features of the outputs are the following:
2 opto-isolated NPN or PNP, reverse polarity and short circuit protected outputs available
Maximum Current: 40 mA maximum continuous or 130 mA pulsed
Output Saturation Voltage (in PNP or NPN mode): < 1 V at 10 mA
Maximum load device voltage drop (in NPN mode): 30 V
Power Dissipation: 90mW maximum at 50 °C (122 °F) ambient temperature
By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code(s) signaled by the external trigger
are not decoded. Output 2 is associated with the Good Read event, which activates when all the selected codes are
correctly decoded.
The output signals are fully programmable being determined by the configured Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation
Timeout or a combination of the two. Refer to the Barcode Manager parameters Help On Line for further details.
