2.4 Residual risks
2.4.1 Risk of an explosion caused by electrical ignition sources
2 Safety
Electrical ignition sources can trigger fires and explosions in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Non-approved components
Specific hand-held scanners and accessories (including universal supply module, battery, cable) are
suitable for each potentially explosive atmosphere. Hand-held scanners and components that have not
been approved for the respective potentially explosive atmosphere may trigger explosions.
Only use components that have been approved for the relevant potentially explosive atmosphere.
Spark formation during battery change and cable connection
Sparks can arise when changing the battery or connecting cables. Sparks can trigger an explosion in
a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only insert or remove the battery outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only connect or disconnect the cable outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Always have cables connected by a qualified electrician.
Spark formation caused by the battery falling out / the connection cable coming unplugged
The following risks arise if the safety lock on the underside of the hand-held scanner is not correctly
closed:
‒ The battery on a Bluetooth hand-held scanner can fall out.
‒ The connection cable on a corded hand-held scanner can come unplugged.
This can produce sparks which can trigger an explosion.
Check that the safety lock is correctly closed before taking the hand-held scanner into the
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Broken enclosure: loss of explosion protection
The hand-held scanner has been tested for falls from a height of up to 2.4 m (7.9 ft) (Zone 2 / Div. 2)
and 1.2 m (4 ft) (Zone 1 / Div. 1). There is a risk of the enclosure breaking during falls from a greater
height, in which case the explosion protection is no longer guaranteed.
Protect hand-held scanners from falling from a greater height.
If the hand-held scanner has fallen from a greater height or you suspect a damaged enclosure:
– Remove the hand-held scanner from the potentially explosive atmosphere immediately.
– Send the faulty hand-held scanner to BARTEC and reference the RMA number you were
issued.
Corrosion: loss of explosion protection
The enclosure of the hand-held scanner has protection class IP65, however constant exposure to
moisture can lead to corrosion. This may lead to the loss of the explosion protection.
Protect hand-held scanners against constant exposure to moisture.
Do not subject hand-held scanners to any damp weather conditions.

2 Safety
Handscanner
BCS 3600ex series
Subject to technical modifications
2.4.2 Damage to eyes caused by laser light
The hand-held scanner operates with a Class 2 laser. Laser beams can damage eyes.
Do not look into the laser beam.
2.4.3 Risks of cuts if the scan window is broken
The scan window may become damaged if the hand-held scanner falls down. There is a risk of cuts if
you reach into the broken or cracked area.
When getting the hand-held scanner out, secure it to prevent it falling down.
Only get the hand-held scanner out when it reaches its destination.
If the scan window is broken:
– Do not touch the broken area.
– Do not use the hand-held scanner.
– Send the faulty hand-held scanner to BARTEC and reference the RMA number you were
issued.
2.4.4 Health hazard in the case of incorrect disposal
Lithium ion batteries on the Bluetooth hand-held scanner contain pollutants that can be harmful to
health.
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally sound way in accordance with regional regulations.
2.5 Preventing damage to property
2.5.1 Short circuit caused by incorrect connection
Incorrect electrical connection can cause a short circuit, thereby damaging the hand-held scanner.
Always have the hand-held scanner connected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
connection diagram.
2.5.2 Storage at too high a temperature
A thermal fuse prevents the hand-held scanner getting too hot during operation and triggering an
explosion. There is also a risk of the hand-held scanner getting too hot if the hand-held scanner is
stored outside of the permissible ambient temperatures. The hand-held scanner is damaged as soon
as the thermal fuse responds.
Only store the hand-held scanner within the permissible ambient temperatures.
2.5.3 Contact with chemicals
14 / 106
The enclosure of the hand-held scanner consists of polycarbonate that has only limited chemical
resistance. Contact with chemicals can break the enclosure.
Do not bring the hand-held scanner into contact with chemicals.
2.5.4 Aggressive cleaning agents
Aggressive cleaning agents can attack and fade the scan window, thereby impairing the scanning
functionality. In extreme cases scanning is no longer possible.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the hand-held scanner.

For pairing with the universal supply module:
The Universal Power Supply Module supports only one point-to-point connection.
6.4.3 Pairing (only with BCS 3678ex)
Pairing registers a hand-held scanner at the base station so that the hand-held scanner and base
station can exchange data and information.
The base station type 17-A1Z0-0014 and G7-A0Z0-0010 (functionally based on the Zebra STB3678)
operate in two modes:
- Point-to-point (point to point)
- Multipoint-to-Point (Multipoint to Point)
In point-to-point mode, the hand-held scanner is coupled to the base station either by plugging it into
the base station (if "Pair on Contacts" is enabled) or by scanning the pairing barcode at the base station.
In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can connect up to seven scanners to one base station. To use this
feature, you must scan the Multipoint barcode in the Multipoint-to-Point Communication in ZEBRA's

The digital scanner has sufficient on-board memory to store 500 barcodes of typical size
30,720 Byte memory / (number of characters in barcode + 3)
If the batch mode selection is changed while data is in batch mode, the new batch mode will not
take effect until all previously stacked data has been sent.
Detailed information and programmable codes for "out of range" and "batch mode" can be found in
the Zebra product reference system "Chapter 4 - Radio Communication".

6.4.6 Pairing with other Bluetooth-enabled devices (only with BCS 3678ex)
The hand-held scanner can communicate with other devices via Bluetooth or by pairing with a base
station. Detailed information about the operating modes, Bluetooth and pairing can be found in the
ZEBRA Product Reference Guide in Chapter 4 “Radio Communications”.
6.4.7 Scanning when out of range - Out of Range & Batch Mode (only with BCS 3678ex)
If there is a radio link between the hand-held scanner and the base station, the hand-held scanner
transmits all scanned data immediately after scanning the barcode.
If there is no radio connection, the scanning of barcode data is not possible (basic setting).
If the Out-of-Range Scanning function is enabled, barcode data can also be scanned outside the radio
range of the base station. All scanned data is buffered in the hand-held scanner until the radio link is
available.
The digital scanner supports five versions of the batch mode. If the digital scanner is configured for one
of the batch modes, it will attempt to store barcode data (not parameter barcodes) until transmission is
initialized or the maximum number of barcodes is stored. When a barcode has been successfully saved,
a decoding tone sounds and the LED flashes green. If the digital scanner cannot save a new barcode,
a beep sounds.

- Normal (Standard)
No batch data. The digital scanner attempts to transfer each scanned barcode.
- Batch mode out of range
The digital scanner starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a remote device
(e.g. when a user holding the digital scanner goes out of range). The data transfer is triggered
by re-establishing the connection with the remote device (e.g. when a user holding the digital
scanner returns to range).
- Standard Batch Mode
The digital scanner starts saving barcode data after the batch mode has been activated. Data
transmission is triggered by scanning transmission batch data.

- Batch Mode Only
The scanner radio is turned off and the scanner stores all barcode data. The data transfer is
triggered by inserting the scanner into the holder.
- Batch Mode Parameters
When parameter batch mode is enabled and there is no connection to the base station, the
scanner starts saving parameter barcode data intended for the base station. The transfer of
the parameter barcode is triggered by inserting the scanner into the base station. The Batch
Mode parameter is exited at the end of the transfer. Alternatively, the dosing of parameter
barcodes can be aborted by scanning the output parameter batch mode before inserting the
scanner into the holder.
The parameter batch mode can be used when the station and/or scanner is configured with
the radio turned off or connected to a non-battery charger.

6.4.9 Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) - Scan one bar code per trigger pull
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data from before transmission to the
host device. Use ADF to edit scan data to suit your host's requirements. With ADF you scan one bar
code per trigger pull. ADF is programmed using 123Scan.
For an ADF tutorial and a 123Scan programming example, go to the 123Scan section of our How To
Videos:
http://www.zebra.com/ScannerHowToVideos
For additional information, refer to the “Advanced Data Formatting” Programmer Guide.
“Advanced Data Formatting“ programmer Guide, p/n 72E-69680-xx - provides information on ADF, a
means of customizing data before transmission to a host.
6.4.10 Multicode Data Formatting (MDF)
Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) - Scan many bar codes in one trigger pull
6 Configuration
Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) enables a 2D imaging scanner to scan all bar codes on a label with
a single trigger pull, and then modify and transmit the data to meet host application requirements.
MDF supports programming up to nine unique labels into one scanner. MDF also supports scanning
multiple bar codes on opposite sides of a box by holding the trigger.
Programming options include:
- Output all or specific bar codes
- Control the bar code output sequence
- Apply unique multicode data formatting (MDF) to each output bar code
- Discard scanned data if all required bar codes are not present
For an MDF tutorial and a 123Scan programming example, go to the 123Scan section of our How To
Videos:
http://www.zebra.com/ScannerHowToVideos
For more information, refer to the ”Multicode Data Formatting and Preferred Symbol” User Guide.
”Multicode Data Formatting and Preferred Symbol”, p/n MN-002895-xx - provides information on multi
code, data formatting, rules and preferred symbol prioritization.
Programming Options
Using 123Scan, programming an MDF Group is similar to setting an ADF rule. MDF programming is
saved in the 123Scan configuration file.
MDF can be deployed to a fleet of 2D imaging scanners using the Scanner Management Service
(SMS) through a traditional SMS package.

MDF Terms and Definitions
- Multicode - Industry term for the ability to scan multiple bar codes with one trigger pull.
- Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) - Zebra's name for Multicode.
- MDF Session - The act of decoding a label from trigger pull to either data transmission or
decode session termination.
- MDF Group - The complete set of commands for processing a single label which contains
multiple bar codes. 123Scan can program from one to nine MDF Groups.
- MDF Rule - The programming steps for processing a single bar code. Similar to an ADF
Rule, the MDF Rule contains both criteria and actions. One MDF Rule identifies a single
bar code and how to format its data; more bar codes require more MDF Rules.
- Pattern Match - The criteria used to determine if a set of scanned bar codes qualify for
Multicode Data Formatting. If the pattern match criteria are not met, Multicode Data
Formatting is not applied.
Each bar code within the pattern match is defined according to the bar code criteria identified below.
- Code Type
This is a required field when specifying a bar code within the pattern match.
- Code Length
This is an optional field when specifying a bar code within the pattern match.
- String
This is an optional field when specifying a bar code within the pattern match.
- String Starting Position
Specific location: This is an optional field when specifying a bar code within the pattern
match.
Preferred Symbol
Preferred Symbol is a bar code prioritization technique that enables favored decoding of user
designated high priority bar code(s). The Preferred Symbol is the only bar code that is decoded and
output within the preset Preferred Symbol Timeout. During this time, the scanner attempts to decode
the prioritized bar code and reports only this bar code.
For more information, refer to the MDF and Preferred Symbol User Guide.
Programming Options
To program Preferred Symbol via 123Scan, select 123Scan > Configuration Wizard >
Symbologies screen, and then select Preferred Symbol from the drop-down menu. Preferred
Symbol programming is saved in the 123Scan configuration file.
Preferred Symbol can be deployed to a fleet of 2D imaging scanners using the Scanner Management
Service (SMS) through a traditional SMS package.

There are two methods to realize the pairing with the base station.
Pairing – Methode 1
Each base station has an individual barcode for pairing.
The MAC address of the base station is stored in the barcode.
By scanning the pairing barcode in the default setting, a scanner can establish a point-to-point
connection with a base station.

6.6.3 Programming the interface parameters
Programming the universal supply module corded:
The universal supply module transmits the data of the serial interface 1 to 1.
In order to establish a connection with a PC, the interface parameters on the hand-held scanner and
the PC/host must be identical.
The interface parameters of the hand-held scanner can be adjusted via the programmable codes in the
Zebra product manual or by using the Zebra 123 Scan Utility.
The interface parameters of the PC/host can be adjusted via the settings e.g. in the device manager.
Programming the universal supply module Bluetooth:
The Bluetooth hand-held scanner is connected to the USM via Bluetooth.
Interface parameters cannot therefore be adjusted on the Bluetooth hand-held scanner (e.g. by
scanning programmable codes or via 123 Scan Utility).
The settings are made directly on the USM Bluetooth.
There is a separate manual for programming on the BARTEC Support Download page.
http://automation.bartec.de/indexE.htm
The manual describes the programming of the baud rate via a terminal program. The Bluetooth USM
must be connected to a PC via a serial interface (RS232 or USB-SPP). A terminal program is required
on the PC to transfer the settings.
Programming of the hand-held scanner:
The interface parameters of the hand-held scanner can be adjusted via the programmable codes in

7.2.2 Connecting the USM to an HID device
All interfaces used on the USM (USB, RS232, RS422 and RS485) can be connected to an HID device.
The prerequisite is a software wedge application on the PC / host using which the interface data can
be converted into USB-HID. Software wedge applications are not supplied by BARTEC, but they are
available on the market (e.g. T-Wedge).
7.2.3 Connecting the USM to a PLC
All used interfaces of the USM (USB, RS232, RS422 and RS485) can be connected to a PLC.
There are a number of different manufacturers for SPS/PLC. The connection of a hand-held scanner
depends on the availability of an interface to the SPS/PLC and the ability of the SPS/PLC to process
the incoming data. The SPS/PLC must support the open ASCII protocol.
There is no compatibility list.
The following must be observed when connecting to a PLC:
- What interfaces are available on the SPS/PLC? The USM supports the following interfaces.
- USB-SPP (virtual serial interface)
- RS232
- RS422
- RS485
The SPS/PLC supports the open ASCII protocol.
- What interface parameters are set on the SPS/PLC?
All interconnected components must be set to the same parameters. Otherwise a
communication cannot function correctly or not at all.

Explanation of the interfaces
- USB HID (Human Interface Device)
The digital scanner establishes a connection to the base station or PC / host via Bluetooth
and functions like a keyboard.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is also a serial bus. The data transfer takes place via 2 lines (D+
and D-). Two further lines serve the power supply of the connected devices.
- USB SPP (Serial Port Profile)
Der digitale Scanner stellt über Bluetooth eine Verbindung zur Basisstation oder UniversalVersorgungsmodul oder PC / Host her und fungiert als serielle Verbindung.
- RS232 (Recommended Standard 232 – differential serial interface)
The digital scanner establishes a connection to the base station or USM or PC / host via
Bluetooth and functions as a serial connection.
In automation technology, only three lines are usually used from the RS-232 interface.
TxD (Transmit Data) for transmitting
RxD (Receive Data) for reception
GND cable for the common reference potential
There is no data transmission without connection of the GND line.
The RS-232 interface is not bus-capable and can only be used for point-to-point connections.
Functionally ranges up to 15m are possible.
- RS422 (Recommended Standard 422 – symmetric serial interface)
The digital scanner establishes a connection to the base station or universal power supply
module or PC / host via Bluetooth and functions as a serial connection.
Data transmission is via a four-wire line.
All participants transmit via the data lines TxD+ and TxD- and receive via RxD+ and RxD-.
The GND line is only to be used for large potential differences and should not be absolutely
necessary.
The RS422 interface is less sensitive to interference than the RS232 interface. The reason
for this is that the difference is always considered in the line levels. An electromagnetic
interference would increase the potential on both lines to the same extent. Thus the
interference would have no influence on the differential signal. (For comparison: With the
RS232 interface, the interference would only have an influence on the signal lines, but not
on the reference potential).
The RS422 interface is bus-capable.
Functionally, ranges of up to 1000m are possible. It may also be possible to install repeaters
in the bus for power amplification.

- RS485 (Recommended Standard 485 – asynchronous serial interface)
D The digital scanner establishes a connection to the base station or universal power supply
module or PC / host via Bluetooth and functions as a serial connection.
Data transmission is via a two-wire line.
The RS485 interface has similar characteristics to the RS422 interface.
Ranges of up to 1200m can be achieved.
The RS485 interface is bus compatible.
The same applies to repeaters, immunity to interference and voltage levels as described via
the RS422 interface.
The big difference and big advantage of the RS485 interface is that only 2 data lines are
needed. The participants send and receive via the lines TxD/RxD+ and TxD/RxD-. This
results in less installation effort.
- Keyboard Wedge
This interface connects the digital scanner between the keyboard and the host computer and
translates barcode data into keyboard input. The host computer accepts the data as if it came
from the keyboard.

The serial communication can be checked with the help of a terminal program.
A serial interface does not have its own intelligence.
This means that incoming data at the serial interface will be lost if there is no application available that
