1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DS8100A scanner is a barcode reader complete with decoder designed to provide an
innovative and high performance solution in omnidirectional reading applications by
combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic solid experience in the
material handling sector.
Some of the main features of DS8100A are listed below:
• scanning speed 1000 scans/sec.
• reads all popular codes.
• supply voltage from 20 to 30 Vdc.
• test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner without the
need for external tools.
• programmable in 5 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode reading
system requirements.
• light source: solid state laser diodes; the light emitted has a wave length between
630~680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “Safety precautions” section at the
beginning of this manual.
1.2 APPLICATIONS
The DS8100A barcode reader is specifically designed for industrial applications and for all
cases requiring high reading performance such as:
• code reconstruction
• reading of codes covered by plastic film
• reading of codes with a wide depth of field
• reading of high resolution codes positioned at long distances from the reader
• code reading on fast moving objects.
DS8100A is designed for both single-reader layouts and multi-reader layouts. For typical
layouts see paragraph 2.6

Benefit
• Advanced Code Reconstruction technology
allows the reading of low aspect ratio labels
placed anywhere on a parcel and enhances the
readability of poorly printed or damaged codes.
• CD SQUARE™ provides useful information on
label position and object shape elaborated during
the barcode reading phase. This innovative
technology identifies the area in which the code is
located and measures the code distance from the
scanner.
• PackTrack™ is a Datalogic patented parcel
tracking system which improves the reading
features in omnidirectional stations. In particular,
PackTrack™ manages 6-sided reading systems
when it is impossible to detect the real position of
the code on the parcel, thus overcoming the need
for external accessories essential in traditional
tracking systems.
• Automatically SwiTched Reading Area™ is the
new Datalogic technology based on a multi-laser
architecture and a fixed mounted optic system
which concentrates the multiple laser emissions in
a single laser beam. As each laser emitter is
focused on a specific range of the reading area, a
sophisticated electronic controller selects the best
focused laser emitter with respect to the code to
read. This allows the reading of medium-high
density codes in a large reading area on very fast
conveyors.
• The high frequency laser diode modulation
system guarantees complete immunity to ambient
light and allows installation of the DS8100A in any
working area.
• As a result of the ASTRA™ multiple laser
technology, DS8100A gives a great real time DOF
even on high speed conveyors. Furthermore,
DS8100A implements the Packtrack™
functionality which leads to an increase of the
plant production as a result of the augmented
system throughput.
• Great competitiveness of the offer, since the cost
of an external multiplexer is saved;
• High data transfer on an industrial, reliable bus
running at 1.25 Mbit/sec.
• Reduced learning time, with an easy wizard
approach;
• Multilanguage platform;
• All the configuration parameters stored in the
scanner;
• Not dependent on the Physical interface.

1.3 MODEL DESCRIPTION
The DS8100A scanner is available in versions that differ depending on the interface
connection, the optical resolution and on the optic version:
DS8100A - X X X X
Laser Number:
2 = Double lase
3 = Triple laser
Communication Type:
0 = Standa
1 = Ethernet version

Optic Version:
0 = Linea
5 = Oscillating mirror
Optical Resolution:
0 = Low resolution
1 = Medium resolution
2 = High resolution
3 = Very High resolution
1.3.1 Oscillating Mirror Models
Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly
in picket fence applications.
The oscillating mirror is placed in front of the reading aperture of the DS8100A scanner to
deflect the laser beam. As the mirror moves, this sweeping function of the laser beam allows
the coverage of a larger area to locate the barcodes. The code can also be reconstructed as
the beam sweeps over it.
The aperture angle is symmetrical and the scan line perpendicular to the scanner is at 0° as
shown in the figure below.

2.2.2 Mounting the Scanner with Accessories
The following accessories allow installing the DS8100A reader in the most suitable position
for your network layout:
- ST-163 mounting bracket;
- FBK-8100 fast bracket.
The ST-163 is a 90° mounting bracket to be mounted on the reader as displayed in the
image below:

The FBK-8100 is a fast bracket kit allowing quick and easy mounting of the scanner on the
ST-163 bracket. It is particularly useful when performing a scanner automatic replacement
(see par. 5.2), since the scanner can be simply substituted with a new one while maintaining
its physical position within the network.
First, it is necessary to fix the FBK-8100 round piece (2) to the ST-163 bracket (already
mounted to the reading station frame) by means of the two screws (C). Then, give the
scanner the correct orientation and fix it to the FBK-8100 cross piece (1) through the two
screws (B). Finally, attach the assembly to the ST-163 bracket by making the FBK-8100
cross piece (1) slide into the round piece (2) and fix it by tightening the screws (A).

Thanks to the FBK-8100 it always possible to substitute a mounted scanner with a new one
by simply:
− unscrewing the two screws (A) fixing the FBK-8100 cross piece to the FBK-8100 round
piece;
− sliding the cross piece (still mounted on the scanner to be substituted) out of the round
piece;
− remounting the cross piece onto the new scanner with the correct orientation;
− inserting and tightening the two screws (A).

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 overall maximum cable length
should not exceed 15 m (50 ft).
The following pins of the 26-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection:
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 DS8100A activates the RTS output to
indicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must activate the CTS input to
enable the transmission.

Inputs
The inputs of the reader are on the 26-pin connector of the DS8100A.
These inputs are called EXT_TRIG/PS, IN2/ENC, IN3 and IN4.
Pin Name Function
18 EXT_TRIG/PS A External trigger (polarity insensitive) for PS
19 EXT_TRIG/PS B External trigger (polarity insensitive) for PS
6 IN2/ENC A Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) for Encoder
10 IN2/ENC B Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) for Encoder
14 IN3A Input signal 3 (polarity insensitive)
15 IN4A Input signal 4 (polarity insensitive)
24 IN_REF Common reference of IN3 and IN4 (polarity insensitive)
IN2/ENC is normally used for the Encoder input. In PackTrack™ mode, it detects the
conveyor speed. The maximum Encoder frequency is 2 KHz.
EXT_TRIG/PS is the main presence sensor. When active, this input tells the scanner to scan
for a code and that decoding can take place. The yellow LED (Figure C, 3) indicates the
EXT_TRIG/PS is active.
IN3 and IN4 can be used as the stop signal for the reading phase.
