SAFETY REGULATIONS
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS1500 scanner.
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 EN 60825-1and CDRH
21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. 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.
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).
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous

visible laser light.
Warning labels indicating exposure to laser light and the device classification are
applied onto the body of the scanner (Figure A, 6).
Warning and Device Class Label
For installation, use and maintenance it is not necessary to open the scanner.
The laser diode used in this device is classified as a class 3B laser product according
to EN 60825-1 regulations and as a Class IIIb laser product according to CDRH
regulations. As it is not possible to apply a classification label on the laser diode used
in this device, the following label is reproduced on the right.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
The following can be used as a checklist to verify all of the steps necessary for
complete installation of the DS1500 scanner.
1) Read all information in the section "Safety Precautions” at the beginning of this
manual.
2) Correctly mount the reader using the bracket provided according to the
information in par.2.2.1.
3) Position the reader at the correct reading distance according to your model as
shown in paragraphs 2.5 and 3.4.
4) Make electrical connections to your DS1500 scanner by either:
a) Connecting the test cable to the DS1500 scanner as described in par.2.4.
b) Providing correct and complete system cabling according to the signals
necessary for the layout of your application.
• Layout: Point-to-point, Pass-Through, RS232 Master/Slave, Multiplexer.
See sub-paragraphs under 2.6 for reference.
• Cabling: Power, Main Serial Interface, Auxiliary Interface (RS232),
Inputs, Outputs, etc. For further details, see all sub-paragraphs under
2.3.
5) Configure the DS1500 scanner by installing and running the WinHost
configuration program from the CD-ROM (part number 93ACC1771). The main
steps are:
a) Select the codes to be read
b) Set-up the communication parameters
c) Define data formatting parameters
d) Fine tune your DS1500 scanner using the
WinHost.
Specific parameter details are available in the Help On Line. See also the
To Rapid Configuration link.
6) Exit the configuration program and run your application.
The installation is now complete.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The new DS1500 industrial laser scanner is the combination of extremely compact
dimension and powerful high-speed reading capabilities, which makes the scanner
ideal for OEM integration projects.
DS1500 miniaturization allows an easy OEM integration in pieces of equipment and
automatic machinery. Concurrently, the high scan rate and code reconstruction
software effectively address demanding applications.
The availability of ACB™ (Advanced Code Builder) embedded reconstruction
software algorithm allows effective decoding of damaged or normally unreadable
codes due to a high tilt angle.
DS1500 installation and configuration is easy and simple thanks to the compact size
and to the new test operating mode with bar graph. Test Mode is activated by means
of a key on the scanner (no external PC is required), and the bar graph shows real
time scan rate, which is of great help for installation and reading performance
monitoring purposes.
DS1500 operates at a speed up to 1200scan/s. Furthermore, the scanner motor can
be switched ON and OFF via software command while keeping the unit powered.
This allows a prompt restore of full operation and drastically increases the product
life.
DS1500 is equipped with a software selectable serial link (RS232 or RS485) thus
minimizing the number of models needed to fit all possible applications.
The main DS1500 features are:
• Extremely compact dimensions and light weight
• High scan rate software programmable (up to 1200 scan/s)
• ACB (Advanced Code Builder) code reconstruction software embedded
• Ease of use thanks to Test Mode with reading performance bar graph
• Reads all popular barcode symbologies
• 5 operating modes available to suit most common application requirements
• Code verifier option embedded
• Completely configurable via serial interface (WinHost™ configuration SW)
• Serial communication interfaces software selectable (RS232, RS485)
• Low power consumption

1.2 APPLICATIONS
DS1500 target applications are primarily OEM integration in application characterized
by space constraints, demanding reading performance, ruined or low quality
barcodes, chemical and biomedical analysis machines, ATL (Automated Tape
Library), packaging machines.

1.5 TEST KEY FUNCTIONING
DS1500 provides an external key, which can be used for the following:
- Restoring dual RS232 interface at power on
- Activating Test Mode from the current operating mode
1.5.1 Restoring Dual RS232 Interface
To launch the Restoring Dual RS232 Interface function, proceed as follows:
1. Press the Test key before powering the scanner on;
2. Power ON the scanner while keeping the Test key pressed;
3. When the TX Data/ACT LED switches on, the function is activated;
4. When the TX Data/ACT LED switches off, the restore default of the RS232
interface is achieved;
5. The Test key can be released.
If the Test key is released before the TX Data/ACT LED is off, the Restoring Dual
RS232 is not executed.
To restart the procedure, it is first necessary to switch off the DS1500 scanner.
NOTE

The Restore Dual RS232 is not permanently saved.
INTRODUCTION

1.5.2 Activating Test Operating Mode
To launch the Test Mode by the external key, proceed as follows:
1. From any operating mode, press the Test key: the TX Data/ACT LED turns on.
2. Keep the Test key pressed for minimum one second while the Ext Trig/RDY LED
turns on. Both LEDs hold this status if the key is not released.
3. Release the Test key. Both LEDs turn off, the Test Mode starts and the Bar
Graph is active.
If the Test key is released before Ext Trig/RDY LED turns on, the test mode is not
executed. The device holds the previous operating mode.
During the Test Mode, the Bar Graph repeatedly indicates the Good Read Rate
(GRR) every 100 scans (about 1 second). At the end of each sampling all the LEDs
turn OFF.
The test mode data are transmitted on the serial interfaces according to the current
configuration.

To exit the Test Mode, repeat the above procedure: when the TX Data/ACT and the
Ext Trig/RDY LEDs turn off the Test Mode has been disabled.
The previous operating mode will be restored.
