• Do not connect AC power source to Sensor Controller. If connects AC power source, it might be a
cause of the failure.
• Use the wire of a suitable size (AWG 16 to 12) acco
• Use a DC power supply with safety measures against high-voltage spikes (safety extra low-voltage
circuits on the secondary side).
• Keep the power supply wires as short as possible.
• Do the following confirmations again before turning on the power supply.
• Is the voltage and polarity of the power supply correct?
• Is not the load of the output signal short-circuited?
• Is the load current of the output signal appropriate?
• Is not the mistake found in wiring?
Ground
rding to the current consumption.
• Check wiring again before turning on the reader.
Other
• Use only the cables designed specifically for the reader. Use of other products may result
malfunction or damage of the reader.
• Always turn OFF the power of the reader and peripheral devices before connecting or disconnecting
a cable. Connecting the cable with power supplied may result in damage of the reader or peripheral
devices.
• Do not apply torsion stress to the cable. It may damage the cable.
• Secure the minimum bending radius of the cable. Otherwise the cable may be damaged.
• Do not attempt to dismantle, repair, or modify the product.

Precautions for Correct Use
Component Installation and Handling
• Turning OFF the Power
When a message is displayed indicating that a task is in progress, do not turn OFF the power. Doing
so causes the data in the memory to be corrupted, resulting in the product not operating properly
upon the next start-up.
When turns OFF, conform the followings proceedings have completed. and then operate again.
• When saves using the reader:
Confirm the save processing is completed and next operation is possible.
• When saves using communication command:
Intended command is completed.
• Setting of Power Source
The power source need to be supplied from DC power source apparatus which is taken a save
ultra-low voltage circuit: to protect high voltage.
Maintenance
• Turn OFF the power and ensure the safety before maintenance.
• Clean the lens with a lens-cleaning cloth or air brush.
• Lightly wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.
• Do not use thinners or benzene.
• To ensure safe access for operation and maintenance, separate the reader as much as possible from
high-voltage equipment and power machinery.
Communication with High-Order Device
• After confirming that this product is started up, communicate with the high-order device. Wh
product has started up, an indefinite signal may be output from the high-order interface. To avoid this
problem, clear the receiving buffer of your device at initial operations.

Other
• For symbols with a highly gloss surface, reading errors may occur because of regular reflection of the
LED light. If this occurs, provide a skew angle of 15° against the symbol.
• Do not look into the light emitted from the LED directly. When this products has started up, the LED
flashes.
• Under an environment with high humidity and rapid changes in temperature, the inside of the front
plate might fog up. When the read rates lower due to the fog, leave the device with turned it on for 30
minutes to 2 hours. Use it again after checking there is no fog on the front plate.

LED Safety
• This product is classified into the IEC 62471-1:2006 Risk-Exempt Group. However, this product does
emit a strong visible light that may have an adverse effect on the eyes. Do not stare directly into the
lig
ht emitted from the LED. If a specular object is used, take care not to allow reflected light to enter
your eyes.

1-1 Introduction
The browser-based WebLink interface enables quick and easy configuration and testing of
MicroHAWK V320-F, V330-F, V420-F, V430-F readers without the need to install or access files on a
host system.
WebLink is reliable, lightweight, and operating-system-independent without compromising the power
and depth of its tool set.
WebLink offers novice users an intuitive way to connect, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot a
MicroHAWK reader, and provides the power and flexibility expected by advanced users.

In the Start view, the left panel shows your reader's user-defined name, IP address, License
Options, Reader Model, Serial Number, MAC ID, Firmware version, WebLink version, Sensor,
Optics, Decoder, and Speed.
Note: The information in this area is selectable so that you can copy it to a clipboard.
Note: The user-defined name must be 19 characters or fewer.

In the Setup view, the left panel contains the majority of WebLink's configuration tools: Cycle, which
allows you to set the trigger mode; Acquire, which allows you to set the camera's exposure and gain;
Decode, which allows you to select which code types are required in your application; Match String,
which allows you to set the match code mode, wildcard, text output, new master, and match string
database; Format Output, which allows you to determine the ways in which barcode data can be
formatted before it is output as a data string; Outputs, which allows you to determine output conditions,
the output mode, the pulse width, and the output state (normally open or normally closed); and
Favorites, which allows you to define the commands you use most frequently and gives you quick
access to their command parameters.

1-8 Right Panel
The area to the right of the Image Area shows counters for Cycles, Reads, No Reads, and Mismatches
(which only applies if you have defined a match string); statistics for the rate of Capture, Decode,
Overhead, Total Read, and Trigger Rate; a line graph representation of read time; and a display area
for the output of decoded data.
You may find the information displayed on this panel to be most useful in the Run view, but it appears in
all three of WebLink's primary views.

The Image Area is the main focus of WebLink. This area allows you to see what currently falls within
the reader's field of view, and offers several image control tools.

Sends a Serial Trigger to the camera.
Set Window of Interest
Allows you to define the Window of Interest directly in the Image Area interface.
Note: When using an SXGA reader with Auto Photometry enabled, the Window of Interest cannot be
set to a width less than 640.
Auto Photometry On
Turns Auto Photometry on. The camera's Auto Photometry settings defined in the Acquire section of
the Setup interface are applied to the image when Auto Photometry is on.
When the reader is in Triggered mode and Auto Photometry is on, the best Exposure and Gain
settings are determined for the next captured image. Auto Photometry functions differently in Triggered
mode than in Continuous mode or Presentation mode: when Auto Photometry is on in Triggered
mode, it is only a one-time setting. Exposure and Gain are not adjusted dynamically with each trigger
as they would be in Continuous mode or Presentation mode.
When the reader is in Continuous mode or Presentation mode and you click the Auto Photometry
button, the reader maintains optimal self-adjusting photometry and focus parameters until you click the
button again to turn Auto Photometry off. Symbol data is decoded and symbol information is transmitted
repeatedly as long as the symbol is within the reader's field of view and read range.
Auto Photometry Off
Turns Auto Photometry off.

Autofocus On
Turns Autofocus on. The camera's Autofocus settings defined in the Acquire section of the Setup
interface are applied to the image when Autofocus is on.

Train
Performs a full symbol calibration to find the best Focus, Exposure, and Gain, and saves relevant
information regarding the decoded target symbol to allow greater decodability of similar symbols.
You will see the Determine parameter ranges... and Training Complete messages shown in the
examples below during the Train operation.
Note: The Train operation will un-optimize the system once an image is processed, but you can
optimize the system again after a Train operation.

1 Overview
Note: The Train button only appears in the Device Control Toolbar when the Read Cycle is
configured to look for only 1 symbol.
When the Read Cycle is looking for 2 or more symbols, the Train button appears.
Optimize
Saves relevant information about the target symbol, allowing the subsequent symbols to be processed
more quickly and consistently.
The reader has three optimization states: un-optimized, optimizing, and optimized.
When the reader is in the un-optimized state and the Optimize button is clicked, the reader enters the
optimizing state until a symbol is decoded or until the Optimize button is clicked again to deactivate the
optimizing state. When a symbol is decoded during the optimizing state, the reader enters the
optimized state.
Note: A Train operation can reduce decode performance. It will un-optimize the system when an image
is processed. You can re-optimize the system after a Train operation.
