Description

The HBCS-A000 series low current digital wands are hand held scanners optimized to provide excellent scanning of all common bar code formats. The patented low current, high ambient light rejection circuitry is packaged in a rugged polycarbonate case.

Available in three resolutions, these wands are capable of reading a wide range of bar code printing. Visible red and infrared versions are available for reading a wide range of print types and colors.

The wands are available with or without a switch to control the wand operation.

HBCS-A000 Series

Applications

The HBCS-A000 series wands are highly effective alternatives to keyboard data entry. These devices are especially designed for battery powered applications where low power drain is a primary concern. In addition to their low current draw, these wands are also designed to work in high ambient light, such as outdoors or near windows.

Notes:

1.Contrast is defined as RW - RB where RW is the reflectance of the white spaces and RB is the reflectance of the black bars, measured at the emitter wavelength (655 nm or 820 nm). Contrast is related to PCS by PCS = (RW - RB)/RW or RW - RB = PCS * RW.

2.Not including the pull-up resistor current.

3.10% to 90% transitions.

4.Switch bounce causes a series of sub millisecond pulses to appear on the output.

5.Shield must be properly terminated. The human body is modelled by discharging a 300 pF capacitor through a 500 Ω resistor. No damage to the wand will occur at the specified discharge level. The energy will be passed through the shield to the host device.

6.After this time, the wand is operational.
