4 Mounting

Ä Observe the mounting instructions (see chapter 4.1 "Selecting a mounting location"). Ä Fasten the bar code reader on the M4 mounting threads on one side of the device (see chapter 3.3

"Device construction").

4.1 Selecting a mounting location

NOTICE

The size of the bar code module influences the maximum reading distance and the width of the reading field.

Ä When selecting a mounting location and/or the bar code label, take into account the different

reading characteristics of the bar code reader with various bar code modules.

NOTICE

Observe when choosing the mounting location!

Ä Maintain the permissible environmental conditions (humidity, temperature). Ä Avoid possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging

material residues.

Ä Ensure that there is the lowest possible chance of damage to the bar code reader by me-

chanical collision or jammed parts.

Ä Avoid possible ambient light influence (no direct sunlight).

Mounting

In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:

• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the bar codes on the objects to be scanned.

• The reading field of the bar code reader in relation to the bar code module width.

• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading field with the respective module width (see chapter 12.2 "Reading fields").

• alignment of the bar code reader for avoiding reflections.

• distance between bar code reader and host system with respect to the interface.

The best read results are obtained if the following prerequisites are fulfilled:

• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.

• There is no direct sunlight and ambient light influences are avoided

• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.

• You are not using glossy labels.

• The bar code is moved past the reading window with an angle of rotation of 10° to 15°.

Leuze electronic BCL 148 14

NOTICE

Avoid direct reflection of the laser beam!

The beam exits the bar code reader nearly perpendicular to the reading window.

Ä The bar code label must be rotated by >10 ° to avoid a reflection of the laser beam in the

case of glossy labels.

7.1 Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning

NOTICE

Ä Observe the notices for device arrangement (see chapter 4.1 "Selecting a mounting loca-

tion")).

Ä If possible, always trigger the bar code reader with the aid of commands or an external

transducer (photoelectric sensor).

ð Only then can you be certain whether a code has been read. If read, the code contents

are transmitted; if not, the NoRead character is transmitted at the end of the reading gate).

Ä Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the de-

vice.

Ä Before connecting the supply voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they have

been properly made.

7.2 Starting the device

7.2.1 Power-on test

After connecting the operating voltage, the bar code reader performs an automatic "Power On" function test.

After the switch-on phase, the bar code reader responds with the start message via the interface.

• The start message is preset to ‘S’.

• If the start message has been transferred, the bar code reader is ready.

7.2.2 Interface

Proper function of the interface can most easily be tested in service operation using the RS232 interface with the SensorStudio configuration software.

7.2.3 Online commands

Using the online commands, important device functions can be checked, e.g. reading activation (see chapter 8 "Online commands").

You can use online commands to directly send control and configuration commands to the device.

You can send online commands with a terminal program or with the Sensor Studio configuration software see chapter 6 "Configuration and diagnostics software - SensorStudio").

7.2.4 Problems

For information on how to proceed in the event of problems during commissioning of the devices, see chapter 10 "Diagnostics and troubleshooting".

If a problem occurs that cannot be rectified even after checking all electrical connections and settings on the devices and on the host, contact your responsible Leuzeelectronic subsidiary or Leuzeelectronic customer service (see chapter 11 "Service and support").

7.3 Setting the configuration parameters

You commissioned the device. Usually, you will have to configure it before you can use it. With the configuration possibilities offered by the Sensor Studio configuration software or the device DTM, you can individually adapt the device to your specific application. For instructions regarding the various setting options, refer to the online help or to the see chapter 6.5 "Configuration parameters".

• To operate the bar code reader, it is normally sufficient to set code type and code length in accordance with the bar codes that are to be read.

• Depending on the application, you can configure the switching input according to your requirements.

Leuze electronic BCL 148 31

Configuration settings

The configuration settings are stored in the memory of the bar code reader in parameter sets. The various parameter sets are explained to understand what is happening during configuration parameter setting (see chapter 7.3.2 "Parameter sets").

• The setting of code type and code length is usually accomplished by using the SensorStudio configuration software (see chapter 6 "Configuration and diagnostics software - SensorStudio").

• You can set other configuration parameters as follows:

• Via the Sensor Studio configuration software with the buttons located under CONFIGURATION.

• Via the internal setup of the bar code reader (start with the online command CS; see chapter 7.3.2 "Parameter sets")

• Via online commands (see chapter 8.5 "Online commands for the parameter set operations").

7.3.1 Service mode

You can connect a PC or a terminal to the device via the RS232 interface and configure the device through this connection (see chapter 5.5 "PC or terminal connection").
