DS4600A
Laser Barcode Reader
Quick Reference Guide
The scanner is classified as a Class 2 laser
product according to EN 60825-1 regulations
and as a Class II laser product according to
CDRH regulations.
For installation, use and maintenance it is not
necessary to open the device.
There is a safety device which allows the
laser to be switched on only if the motor is
rotating above the threshold for its correct
scanning speed.
The laser beam can be switched off through a
software command (see also the WinHost
Help On-Line).

Electrical Connections:
DS4600A is equipped with a cable terminated by a 25-pin female D-sub connector for connection to the power
supply and input/output signals.
CAUTION
Do not connect GND and SGNDs to different (external) ground references. GND and
SGNDs are internally connected through filtering circuitry which can be permanently
damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.
