Introduction

The barcode scanner BCSi are designed to read all common barcodes 1D & 2D and to transmit these
barcode data to an existing ASD (application supporting device) in hazardous or non-hazardous areas.

The BCSi is freely positionable in front of the barcode. A interactive vibration feedback after a
successful scan is offered by the BCSi (an advantage for loud environments). There are bi-focus
positions for capturing of max. focus-decoding area. The scanner provides exceptional depth of field
on all bar code densities.
The BCSi provides built-in illumination which allows work in any ambient lighting condition — from
total darkness to bright sunlight.
A wide selection of parameters may be configured to adapt the BCSi settings for your particular
application.

The BCSi available as cable and as radio frequency version.

The cable scanner version has an intrinsically safe interface for power and data. The data transmission
is realized via a serial interface. The cable version is available for low-power and high-power
intrinsically safe power interfaces.

The radio frequency version has an intrinsically safe interface for charging of internal batteries in
hazardous areas via intrinsically safe interfaces, such as for instance ExMod-1-2-3. The data
transmission is realized via a radio frequency interface (Bluetooth). The radio frequency version is
available with integrated 10mW and 100mW Bluetooth modules.
The radio frequency version disable the scanengine when charging is in process.

All versions of the BCSi developed for use in hazardous areas Zone 0, Zone 20, EPL Ga and EPL Da.

BCSi-1 * models available

Various models of BCSi-1 * can be supplied:

----1 = C LP

C LPC LP

C LP : Cable barcode scanner Low Power.

Barcode scanner with cable connection and low intrinsically safe input power at the
power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting
devices is realized via serial intrinsically safe interface.
This variant is developed with internal energybuffer to provide the necessary power
for the scanner electronic (duty cycle typ. 5%). A pre-charging of typ. 16h for this
internal buffer is necessary before first operation.

C HP

C HPC HP

C HP : Cable barcode scanner High Power.

Barcode scanner with cable connection and high intrinsically safe input power at the
power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting
devices is via serial intrinsically safe interface.

RF 10

RF 10RF 10

RF 10 : Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth)

Barcode scanner with data transmission by radio frequency with typ. radiated power
of 10mW.
This variant is developed with integrated Bluetooth module (Class 2) to transmit
data to other existing application supporting devices. For charging of this cordless
barcode scanner a intrinsically safe interface required (e.g. ExMod-1-2-3).

RF 100

RF 100RF 100

RF 100: Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth)

Barcode scanner with data transmission by radio frequency with typ. radiated power
of 100mW.
This variant is developed with integrated Bluetooth module (Class 1) to transmit
data to other existing application supporting devices. For charging of this cordless
barcode scanner a intrinsically safe interface required (e.g. ExMod-1-2-3).

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals

Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN
13+2). Six options are available.

• If Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN/JAN symbols without supplementals
are not decoded.

• If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the decoder is presented with a UPC/EAN/JAN with a supplemental, the
UPC/EAN/JAN is decoded and the supplemental bar code is ignored.

• An Autodiscriminate Option is also available. If this option is selected, choose an appropriate UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page. A value of 5 or more is recommended.

• Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’ or ‘379’
prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are
reported instantly upon decode.

• Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘978’ prefix by the
supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported
instantly upon decode.

• Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or
‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the search
and are reported instantly upon decode.

To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode or ignore supplemental characters.

Redundancy Level

Redundancy LevelRedundancy Level

Redundancy Level

The decoder offers four levels of decode redundancy. Select higher redundancy levels for decreasing levels of bar
code quality. As redundancy levels increase, the decoder’s aggressiveness decreases.

Select the redundancy level appropriate for the bar code quality.

Security Level

Security LevelSecurity Level

Security Level

The decoder offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN,
and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse
relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any
given application.

• Security Level 0

Security Level 0Security Level 0

Security Level 0: This default setting allows the decoder to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing

sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.

• Security Level 1

Security Level 1Security Level 1

Security Level 1: Select this option if misdecodes occur. This security level should eliminate most misdecodes.

• Secur

SecurSecur

Security Level 2

ity Level 2ity Level 2

ity Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.

• Security Level 3

Security Level 3Security Level 3

Security Level 3: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised,
selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level
of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the decoder. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve
the quality of the bar codes.

Intercharacter Gap Size

Intercharacter Gap SizeIntercharacter Gap Size

Intercharacter Gap Size

The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar
code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the decoder from
decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of­specification bar codes.

Assembly

AssemblyAssembly

Assembly
The national assembly and installation regulations are to be observed.
The generally accepted rules of engineering are to be observed.
The entire equipment is to be connected and operated correctly and properly according to the applicable

standards, guidelines and installation instructions.
Shielded cables are recommended for use in combination with this device.
Before putting the device into operation make sure that the device has been installed as prescribed and that the device and

its wiring are not damaged.
If the power supply of the device is not intrinsically safe, the license will become void and it must not be operated as an

intrinsically safe device. If the device was operated intrinsically safely with a low level of international protection (e.g. ib), it
must not be operated afterwards in applications for a higher level of international protection (e.g. ia).

Operation

OperationOperation

Operation
The device is only to be operated in an undamaged and clean condition.
If the device has suffered any damages which might affect the international protection (e.g. cracks, holes or broken

components) it must be taken out of service immediately. The device can only be put into operation again after the
defect components have been exchanged.

When the device is damaged, do not touch it any longer! Risk of injury!
If the device is to be used in a dust atmosphere dust layers >5mm have to be removed.
In the event of non-observance & non-compliance the stipulated explosion protection cannot be guaranteed

and/or the guarantee will become void!
