2 Safety requirements
The appliances have been built conforming to the statutory regulations and, after having been thoroughly checked, have left the factory in perfectly sound condition.
• The appliances have to be installed and maintained by skilled staff.
• Make sure that the data and operating conditions specified by BARTEC are complied with.
• Before installing the device and taking it into service, please read the operating instruction. If you
have any questions on certain issues, you will get detailed information by our staff.
• Before connecting the supply voltage, make sure that the operating voltage of the appliance con-
forms with the mains voltage.
• Switch off the device immediately and protect it from being switched on again if there is the risk
that it can´t be operated without danger any more (e.g. when there are visible damages).
• Make sure that no liquids can get into the the housing!
BARTEC will not be responsible for damages resulting from the fact that safety instructions aren´t observed or that the operating instruction or the operating conditions are disregarded.

3 Installation
3.1 Voltage supply
The device is supplied with 24 V DC via the plug-in power supply unit included in delivery.
3.2 Connection to the PC
The device can be connected to the PC either via the serial interface of the PC or via the keyboard interface. The appropriate interface type is determined by the connecting cable in the barcode reader.
To change the interface type, the cable can be replaced (see 3.3).
3.2.1 Connection via RS 232
The device is connected to the PC via the RS 232 with a 9-pole cable. If the serial interface of the PC
is 25-pole, an appropriate adapter plug has to be used.

Desk reader for barcode bottles type 6727-61 BA 021212
3.2.2 Connection via keyboard interface
If it is connected via the keyboard interface, the barcode reader is inserted between the PC and the
keyboard. XT/AT plugs or PS/2 plugs are available.
3.3 Replace connecting cable
To change the interface type of the barcode reader, the connecting cable has to be replaced (for connecting cable types see ordering designations).
Cautiously insert a thin stiff wire (e.g. a paper clip that has been straightened out) into the opening at
the underside of the housing and push back the lock of the interface cable. At the same time draw the
cable out of the outlet box.
Plug in the new cable until it snaps into place.
After the interface cable has been replaced, the device has to be reinitialized (see 4.2 and 4.3).

4 Operation
4.1 Configuration of the terminal program
After the configuration of the reader and of the application program, you can read in the barcodes via
the serial interface. The configuration of the application program is explained here with the example of
the ”HyperTerminal“ program, which is included in the standard Windows version.
• Click “Start“ and then click “Perform“.
• In the “Perform” window, type the program name hypertrm and click [OK] or press ENTER.
• Enter a name for the new connection in the following window, select an icon and click [OK].
• On the “Connect via“ list box in the following window, select the serial interface by means of
which you have connected the barcode reader to the PC.
Operation
4-2
Desk reader for barcode bottles type 6727-61 BA 021212
• Then configure the interface according to the following illustration.
Now the program is installed. From now on you can start the program with a double-click on the icon
you have selected. It is in the folder c:\programs\accessories\HyperTerminal.
You can also shift the icon to the desktop and start the program directly from there.
Operation
4-3
Desk reader for barcode bottles type 6727-61 BA 021212
4.2 Configuration (initialization) for devices with
RS 232 interface
1. Attach the two following barcode tags to a milk sample bottle.
You can copy sheet 1 in the appendix, cut out the tags and stick them to the bottle.
2. Disconnect the device from its power supply for 5-10 seconds by pulling out the power supply
plug of the device for a short time and then plugging it in again.
3. Put both of the bottles with the configuration tags successively into the shaft.
The barcode has to be read. The device acknowledges this with acoustic signals.
4. Connect the device to a PC, unless it has already been connected.
5. Call a terminal program at the PC, e.g. Hyperterminal.
Configure the terminal program:
Regulate COM interface that the interface is plugged into (mostly COM1 or COM2).
Configure interface parameters (9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no handshaking).
6. Enter the following character string (Reset):
$+$* [Enter]
7. Wait for a short time until the device has acknowledged the command with an acoustic signal.
8. Enter the following character string (barcode configuration):
$+AZ0AC111010$- [Enter]
9. Wait for a short time until the device has acknowledged the command with an acoustic signal.
10. Take the bottle with the configurations tag out of the device.
The configuration is completed now.
11. For testing, put a “normal“ milk sample bottle into the device. The barcode should be read and
displayed on the screen now.

4.3 Configuration (initialization) for devices with
keyboard interface
1. Attach the two following barcode tags to milk sample bottles.
You can copy sheet 2 in the appendix, cut out the tags and stick them to the bottles.
At each case, you need one barcode tag with the numbers from 1 to 10.
Select the appropriate keyboard option.
2. Disconnect the device from its power supply for 5-10 seconds by pulling out the power supply
plug of the device for a short time and then plugging it in again.
3. Put the bottle with tag no. 1 into the shaft.
The barcode has to be read in now. The device acknowledges this with an acoustic signal.
4. Now read in the remaining codes one after the other (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
oder
Operation
4-5
Desk reader for barcode bottles type 6727-61 BA 021212
5. Take the last bottle out of the device. The configuration is completed now.
6. For testing, start your application or an editor (e.g. notepad). Put a ”normal“ milk sample bottle
into the device. The barcode should be read and displayed on the screen now.
4.4 Read barcodes
To read the barcodes, put the sample bottle into the shaft. The barcode is read and displayed on the
screen or it is transmitted via the interface.
The number of revolutions before a bottle is read doesn´t allow any conclusions as to the quality of
the barcode tag. Due to the system, the number of revolutions can vary between 1 and 5 revolutions. It
depends on the mechanic stabilization of the bottle after it has been inserted into the shaft.
If there is an error (e.g. a readable barcode in proper working condition is not read or is not transmitted to the PC), the device has to be reinitialized depending on the device type (see 4.2 or 4.3).

5.1 Clean the container
Take the container out of the opening. Now you can clean both parts of the container with water and
dishwashing liquid.
Reinsert the container so that the opening on the upper part of the container faces the window of the
barcode reader.
5.2 Clean the window of the barcode reader
Take the container out of the opening of the housing.
Clean the window of the barcode reader with a clean, lint-free cloth.
If necessary, you can use a detergent (window cleaning fluid, spirit).
Put back the container so that the opening on the upper part of the container faces the window of the
barcode reader.
