SAFETY REGULATIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This product conforms to the applicable requirements contained in the European Standard for
electrical safety EN-60950 at the date of manufacture.
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by international
authorities and refers to the correct use of the DX6400/DX6500 readers.
Standard Regulations
This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam
momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would
with any very strong light source, such as the sun.
Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such
as mirrors, etc.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both EN60825-1 and
CDRH 21 CFR1040 at the date of manufacture. The reader is classified as a Class 2 laser
product according to EN60825-1 regulations and as a Class II laser product according to
CDRH regulations.
Disconnect the power supply when opening the device during maintenance or installation to
avoid exposure to hazardous laser light.
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.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.
WARNING
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on the head of the
reader (Figure 1, 7).
Warning labels indicating exposure to laser light and the device classification are applied
onto the head of the reader (Figure 1,1 & 3):

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DX6400/DX6500 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/DX6500 has been specifically designed for simple installation, easy use and
flexibility. An innovative mechanical design together with the Datalogic patent pending Stepa-Head
independently from each other. Step-a-Head
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
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 DX6500 is based on the ASTRA™ technology which allows to switch electronically the
two laser diodes depending on the distance from the barcode. The real time depth of field
(DOF) provided by the DS6500 covers a wide set of applications, from the stand alone one to
the multisided tunnels conveyors.
The DX6400/DX6500 can read all most popular barcodes even in the most difficult
conditions, thanks to a new generation decoder with StrongARM CPU and code
reconstruction technology (ACR™ 3).
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/DX6500 are listed below:
• omni-directional reading;
• 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
• light source: solid state laser diode; the light emitted has a wavelength between

2.2 MECHANICAL MOUNTING
2.2.1 Mounting the Scanner
The DX6400/DX6500 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.

2.3.1 Main/Aux. Serial Interface and I/O Connector
The DX6400/DX6500 master/slave model is equipped with a 25-pin male D-sub connector
for connection to the host computer, power supply and input/output signals.
The DX6400/DX6500 Ethernet models adopt a 26-pin male connector instead of the 25-pin
one.
The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table:

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 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/DX6500 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 following pins of the 25-pin and 26-pin connector are used for RS485 full-duplex
interface connection:

The RS485 half-duplex interface can be used for multidrop connections with a Datalogic
multiplexer or it can also be used for a master/slave layout.
