IMPORTANT WARNING
Access to the interna l part s of the marking system is al lo wed o nly to authorized personnel, duly qualified and
trained with regards to risks of optical and electrical nature.
Datalogic declines a ny and all responsib ility for work carr ied out on live parts b y untrained or unauthor ized
personnel.
WARNING!
It’s not allowed modify destination use of the marking system in different way of its functions.
Datalogic declines any responsibility and liability for irregular and improper use of the marking
system which it manufactures.
WARNING!
These marking system actuation is demanded to the system integrator.

USB 2.0 ADVICE
Ulyxe PL™ exclusively works via USB 2.0 Full Speed only. Certain hardware configurations and certain
operative systems do not fully support the requested connection.
It is suggested to perform the following checks:
• Use only USB cables certified “ HIGH SPEED” or quality “USB2.0” cable, not longer than 2 meters.
• Avoid using any kind of extension cable or any HUB on the cable path.
• Verify the compatibility of the operative system.
• Some computers support only one USB2.0 at a time. On those system s, the use of other devices
(USB memories, ex ternal H D, etc.) can disconnect the U l yx e P L ™ peripheral devices (in par ticul ar it
is observed that any US B 2.0 peripheral connected for las t in temporal order isn’t recogni zed from
O.S.).

1.4 TRANSPORT
The marking system c an be easily lifted up and moved by a singl e person thanks to its compact si ze and
reduced weight.
Figure 3: Transport.
WARNING!
The Ulyx e P L™ is a delicate optical marking system, avoid damaging it with shock and vibrations.
1.5 ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If the marking s ystem is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moistur e may condense inside or
outside the marking system. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the marking system.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the marking system and wait about 1 hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condens e when you bring the m arking system from a c old place into a warm place (or vice
versa) or when you use the marking system in a humid place as shown below.
How to avoid moisture condensation
When you bring the mark ing system from a cold place into a warm place, put it in a plastic ba g and seal it
tightly. Remove the bag when the air temperature inside the plastic bag has reached the ambient
temperature (after about 1 hour).

1.6 FIXING AND POSITIONING
The marking s ystem need to be positio ned in safety mode and fixed on an appr opriate plan absolut ely with
no vibrations.
Ulyxe PLTM is equipped with 4 threaded
holes and 2 fixing pins.

WARNING!
It is very important to secu re the marking s ystem before you start m arking the piece sinc e improper
securing or positioning may cause serious damage. Do not secure the marking system in a way
other than the one described in the figure.
NOTE:

is an air cooled marking system, an adequate air flow is necessary to guarantee its correct
Figure 6: Installation environment.
To obtain a good m arking quality, and n ot to decrease lif e time, we recomm ended a ventilation or vacuum
system in a protection box to limit dust due to marking phase.
1.8 FUME / DUST EXTRACTOR
During marking proc ess, dust and/or gas may be produc ed. It is important to use adequat e fume extractor
and/or air filtration.
WARNING!
Marking PVC (or other plas tic material) can cause the release of chlorine gas which can be harmful
to the laser operator and t o the marking system itself. Alwa ys use adequate fume extractor dur ing

2.3 MARKING AREA SPECIFICATI O N
Datalogic provid es a wide range of F-Theta scan lens es to be attached to the scanning head to foc us the
laser beam in flat Marking Field, in order to achieve high-resolution marking results.
These F-Theta scan lense s are available to best-match the object (i.e.: logo; string; 2D matrix; etc.) to be
marked with custom er need, over the material processing, an d fit the standard Datalogic Sca nning Head;
further solutions about different models of lenses and scanning heads will be considered upon request.
The table below lists the standard F-Theta scan lenses currently available:

NOTE:
Definition of Marking Area: square marking field measured on black anodized aluminium plate.
WARNING!
This product was d esigned to use only certain conf igurations of F-Theta lens and mark ing field. If
your needs are not satisfied by current available F-Theta lens configurations please contact
Datalogic for a solution. T he use of other F-T heta lenses or operation o utside the specif ied marking
field for a certain F-Theta l ens configuration can lea d to damage of F-Theta lens, scanning head or
laser source. Such damage is not covered by warranty!
WARNING!
For each F-Theta lens conf iguration Datalo gic recomm ends the use of cer tain adapter. This ada pter
ensures that residual back ref lections cause d by F-T heta lens do not dam age optics of the scanni ng
head. The removal of such adapter or its incorrect use (for example incomplete thread ing, use of
another F-Theta lens a dapter, etc .) can lead to damage of the F-Theta le ns, scannin g head or las er
source. Such damage is not covered by warranty!

NOTE:
Working Distance is defin ed as the distance between the center of the marking area (defined
in the focal plane) and the last mechanical edge of the F-Theta Scan Lens. Refer to the
following figure.
WD: Working Distance
FD: Fixing Distance
MA: Marking Area
AB: Aiming beam

NOTE:
For systems equipped with standard F-Theta Scan Lens the focus condition is obtained by
matching the Aiming Beam with the Focusing beam.
