standard for a class 2 laser systems. They also comply with the U.S. 21 CFR 1040.10
regulations for a class II laser product except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice
No. 50, dated July 26, 2001.
Radiant Energy: The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i uses a low power visible laser diode. The
emitted wavelength is 655nm. The average laser power is less than 1mW in
accordance with the definition of laser class 2.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments to or alterations of this product.

Fast commissioning / operating principle
3Fast commissioning / operating principle
Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL 300i \
BCL 301i. Detailed explanations for all listed points can be found throughout this technical
description.
3.1Mounting the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i
The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i bar code readers can be mounted in two different ways:
•Via four M4x6 screws on the bottom of the device.
•Via a BT 56 mounting device in the fastening groove on the bottom of the housing.
3.2Device arrangement and selection of the mounting location
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 BCL 300i \ BCL 301i in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading
field.
• The permissible cable lengths between the BCL 300i \ BCL 3
depending on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i should be positioned in
such a way that, taking into consideration the time required for data processing and
the conveyor belt speed, there is sufficient time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on
the basis of the read data.
• The display a

nd control panel should be very visible and accessible.
01iand the host system
Notice!
The beam exits the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i as follows for the respective devices:
- line scanner parallel to the housing base
- deflection mirror 105 degrees to the housing base
- oscillating mirror perpendicular to the housing base.
The black areas in figure 6.2 are the housing base. The best read results are obtained when:
• The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the bar code at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.
• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• You do not use high-gloss labels.
• There is no direct sunlight.

4.4Reading techniques
4.4.1Line scanner (single line)
A line (scan line) scans the label. Due to the opt. opening angle, the reading field width is
dependent on the read distance. Through the movement of the object, the entire bar code
isautomatically transported through the scan line.
The integrated code fragment technology permits twisting of the bar code (tilt angle) within
certain limits. These are dependent on the transport speed, the scanning rate of the scanner
and the bar code properties.
Areas of application of the line scanner
The line scanner is used:
• when the bars of the bar code are printed in the conveying direction ('ladder arrangement').
•with bar codes having very short bar lengths.
• when the ladder code is turned out of the vertical position (tilt angle).
• when the reading distance is large.

4.4.2Line scanner with oscillating mirror
The oscillating mirror deflects the scan line additionally to both sides across the scan direction at a randomly adjustable oscillation frequency. In this way, the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i canalso scan larger areas or spaces for bar codes. The reading field height (and the scan line

Areas of application of the line scanner with oscillating mirror
For line scanners with oscillating mirror, oscillation frequency, start/stop position etc. are
adjustable. It is used:
• when the position of the label is not fixed, e.g. on pallets – various labels can, thus, be
detected at various positions.
• when the bars of the bar code are printed perpendicular to the conveying direction
('picket fence arrangement').
• when reading stationary ob

4.4.3Raster scanner (Raster Line)
Multiple scan linesscan the label. Due to the optical opening angle, the reading field width
is dependent on the reading distance. Provided the code is located in the reading field, it can
be read during standstill. If the code moves through the reading field, it isscanned by
multiple scan lines.
The integrated code fragment technology permits twisting of the bar code (tilt angle) within
certain limits. These are dependent on the transport
and the bar code properties. In most cases, everywhere a line scanner is used, a raster
scanner can be used.

In the Leuze multiNet plus network, up to 32 BCL 301ibar code readers can be networked
together. The respective network devices transmit the read data when requested to by the
MA 31 or BCL 500i network master. For this purpose, each BCL 301i is assigned its own
station address, which isset using the addressswitch in the MS301, MK 301 or MA 100.

Figure 4.14: Networking possibilitiesusing the multiNet plus
Two-wire RS 485
The Leuze multiNet plus is optimized for fast transmission of scanner data to a superior
host computer. The multiNet plus consists physically of a two-wire RS 485 interface through
which the Leuze multiNet plus software protocol is controlled. This makes wiring the
network easy and inexpensive as slaves are looped through to one another in parallel.
In principle, networking occurs via
a parallel connection of the individual RS 485 interfaces
of the respective bar code scanners. Shielded, twisted pair conductors should be used for
the Leuze multiNet plus. This allows a total network length of up to 1200m.
36BCL300i \ BCL 301iLeuze electronic
4.7Leuze multiScan
The multiScan operating mode is based on Leuze multiNet plus and links individual bar
code readings from multiple bar code scanners into a single decoding result. This is used,
for example, on a packet conveyor system on which the label can be affixed on either the
right or left side, thereby requiring two read stations. To prevent the host from having to
always process two readings for a
multiScan arrangement isused which transmits only one reading from the two read stations
to the host; this single reading is transmitted by the multiScan master.
Notice!
Thus, from the perspective of the host, the scanner network appears to be just a single bar
code reader!
For this purpose one multiScan master and one or more multiScan slavesare connected
together via the RS 485 interface.
Notice!
The MA 31 or the BCL 500i is available as a multiNet master.

Device description
The protocol set on the RS 485 interface is the multiNet protocol. As a result, during
multiScan operation on the RS 485 interface, the multiNet master also functions as the
multiScan master and the multiNet slaves function as multiScan slaves (thus, all multiNetslave are included in multiScan operation).
4.8Heater
For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers
of the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heatingand these bar code readers purchased asseparate device models.
4.9External parameter memory
If the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i is used together with an MS300/MS301 hood with integrated
connectors or MK 300/MK 301 terminal hood, the device settings are also saved in an
external parameter memory in the hood with integrated connectors or terminal hood.
If the BCL is replaced with a new device, the new device takes on the settings of the old BCL
from the hood with integrated connectors or terminal hood. This makes renewed configura-
tion of the BCL unnecessary when it is replaced.

4.10autoReflAct
AutoReflAct stands for Automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without
additional sensors. This isachieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam
towards a reflector mounted behind the conveyor path.
Notice!
Compatible reflectors are available on request.
Device description
As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains clos
however, the reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a bar code label, thescanner activates the read procedure, and the label on the container is read. When the path
from the scanner to the reflector has cleared, the read procedure has completed and the
scanning beam is reduced and again directed onto the reflector. The reading gate is closed.

The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and
thus permits an activation without additional sensor system.
4.11Reference codes
The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codesby means of teach-in (viaSWIO_1 or SWIO_2),
via the webConfig tool or via online commands.

5.2Heating models of the bar code readers
The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i bar code readers are optionally available as models with
integrated heating. In this case, heating is permanently installed ex works. Self-installation
on-site by the user is not possible!
Features
•Integrated heating (permanently installed)
• Extends the application range of the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i to -35°C
• Supply voltage 24VDC ±20%
•BCL300i \ BCL 301i enabling through an internal temperature switch
(switch-on delay about 30min for 24VDC and minimum ambient temperature
of -35°C)
•Necessary conductor cross-section for the voltage supply: at least 0.75mm²; the
of ready-made cables is, thus, not possible
Construction
The heating consists of two parts:
• The front cover heater
• The housing heater
Function
When the 24VDC supply voltage is applied to the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i, a temperature
switch initially only connects the heating to current (front cover heater and housing heater).
During the heating phase (around 30 min), when the inside temperature risesabove 15°C,
the temperature switch connects the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i to the supply voltage. This is
followed by the self test and the changeover to reshowing overall readiness for operation.
When the inside temperature reaches approximately 18 °C, another temperature switch
turns the housing heater off and, if necessary, back on again (if the inside temperature dropsbelow 15°C). This does not interrupt the read operation. The front cover heater remainsactivated until an inside tempera
cover heater switches off and, with a switching hysteresis of 3°C, back on again at an inside

Mounting location
Notice!
The mounting location is to be selected such that it does not expose the BCL 300i \
BCL 301i with heating directly to a cold air stream. To achieve an optimal heating effect, the
BCL 300i \ BCL 301i should be mounted so that it is thermally isolated.
Electrical connection
The required core cross section of the connection cable for the voltage supply must be at
least 0.75 mm².

Attention!
The voltage supply must not be looped through from one device to the next.
Attention!
The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i with oscillating mirror and heating must not be connected to

Power consumption
The energy requirement depends on the model:
• the line/raster scanner with heating typically consumes a maximum of 17W power.
• the line scanner with oscillating mirror and heating typically consumes a maximum of
26W power.
• the line/raster scanner with deflection mirror and heating typically consumes a
maximum of 19W power.

5.4.1Bar code characteristics
Notice!
Please note that the size of the bar code module influences the maximum reading distance
and the width of the reading field. Therefore, when selecting a mounting location and/or the
bar code label, take into account the different reading characteristics of the scanner with various bar code modules.
Figure 5.9: The most important characteristics of a bar code
The range in which the bar code can be read by the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i (the so-called
reading field) depends on the quality of the printed bar code and its dimensions.
Therefore, above all, the module of a bar code is decisive for the size of the reading field.
Notice!
A rule of thumb: The smaller the module of the bar code is, the smaller the maximum reading
distance and reading field width will be.

6.3Device arrangement
6.3.1Selecting a mounting location
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 BCL 300i \ BCL 301i in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading
field (see chapter 5.4 "Reading field curves / optical data").
• The permissible cable lengths between the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i and the host system
depending on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i should be positioned in
such a way that, taking into consideration the time required for data processing and
the conveyor belt speed, there is sufficient time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on
the
basis of the read data.
• The display elements such as LEDs or the display should be highly visible.
• For configuring and commissioning with the webConfig tool, the USB interface should be easily accessible.
For specific information, please refer to chapter 6 and chapter 7.
Notice!
The beam of the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i exits:
• parallel to the housing base in the case of the line scanner
at 105 degrees from the housing base in the case of the deflection mirror
•
• perpendicular to the housing base in the case of the oscillating mirror
In each case, the housing base is the black area in figure 6.2. The best read results are
obtained when:
• The BCL 300i \ BCL 301i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is
incident on the bar code at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.
• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• You do not use high-gloss labels.
• There is no direct sunlight.

Zero position
The bar code label must be positioned at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15°
from vertical in order to avoid total reflection of the laser beam (see figure 6.6)!
Total reflection occurs whenever the laser light of the bar code reader is directly incident on
the surface of the bar code at an angle of 90°. The light directly reflected by the bar code
may overload the bar code reader and thereby cause non-readings!

6.3.3Avoiding total reflection – deflection mirror scanner
For the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i with deflection mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle of 105°
to the rear housing wall.
An angle of incidence of 15° of the laser to the label hasalready been integrated in the
deflection mirror so that the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i can be installed parallel to the bar code
(rear housing wall).

6.3.4Avoiding total reflection – oscillating-mirror scanner
For the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i with oscillating mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle
of 90° to vertical.
For the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i with oscillating mirror, the swivel range of ±20°
(±12° for devices with heating) is to be taken into account.
This means that in order to be on the safe side and to avoid total reflection, the BCL 300i \
BCL 301i with oscillating mirror must be inclined upw
Notice!
Mount the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i with oscillating mirror in such a way that the outlet window
of the bar code reader is parallel to the object. This will result in an angle of inclination of
approx. 25°.
When selecting a mounting location, pay attention to:
• Maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• Possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or
packaging material residues.
• Lowest possible chance of damage to the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i by mechanical
collision or jammed parts.
• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the bar code).

6.3.6Devices with integrated heating
For devices with integrated heating, also observe the following points:
•Mount the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i in a way which provides maximum thermal isolation,
e.g. using rubber-bonded metal.
•Mount in such a way that the device is protected from draft and wind; mount additional shields if necessary.
Notice!
When installing the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the
scanning beam can exit the protective housing without obstruction.
6.3.7Possible reading angles between BCL 300i \ BCL 301i and bar code.
The optimum alignment of the BCL 300i \ BCL 301i is accomplished when the scan line
scans the code bars almost at a right angle (90°). All reading angles that are possible
between the scan line and bar code must be taken account (figure 6.9).

With the aid of a network master (e.g. BCL 500i), up to 31 bar code readers can be
networked. For this purpose, the corresponding station address is assigned to every partic-
ipating BCL 301i via the addressswitch in the MS301, MK 301 or MA 100. The devices are
networked by connecting the individual RS 485 interfaces in parallel.

The master then transmits the data of all network devices via its host interface (either an
ultiNet plus network, the individual network devicessequentially transfer their
RS 232 or RS 422) to asuperior PLC control or to a computer, i.e. it "collects" the scanner
data in the network and transmits it to an interface on the host computer. This redu

7.5.2The BCL 301i as network slave
The BCL 301i bar code readers are specially designed for slave operation in a network.
They transmit data to the multiNet master only after the master prompts it t o do so and estab-
lish the continuing connection via the BUS OUT socket/terminal to the slaves which follow.
Only a few parameters need to be set for slave operation (See chapter 10 "Commissioning
and configu
The connection is performed as shown in chapter 7.4.4 and chapter 7.4.5.
ration"). Network commissioning can thusbe performed in very little time.
Slave address
With the BCL 301i, the network address, i.e. the corresponding station number of the slave,
isset via the addressswitch in the MS301, MK 301 or MA 100. The address which is set
must be > 0 since the master always hasaddress 0 (Adr.00).
Each network device with an address >0 is thereby automatically informed that it is a slave
in the Le
network master. No other settings are necessary for commissioning in the Leuze

Other settings
The parameters necessary for the reading task, such as the code types to be read and the
number of digits of the code, must be set. This is done with the help of the webConfig tool.
