be short-circuited with each other.
• Power output lines of the monitor cable should not be short-circuited with each other.
• Do not supply power from the monitor's power cable, since it is provided for output
only.
• Do not attempt to dismantle, repair, or modify the product. Failure to observe this may
result in breakdown or fire.
■ Connecting and Removing Cables
• Do not connect or disconnect the cables while power is supplied.
• Do not connect a cable to the 2D Code Reader if the other end of the cable is

Retry is performed by switching the reading condition (Bank) among the
maximum five conditions.
Two condition switching methods are available: one which determines the order
of the conditions to be used automatically according to the frequency of their use,
and the other that switches them according to the registered order.
Combining with the retry settings that are made for each reading condition
enables various retry settings.

For V400-F050/250/350, a power supply device must be provided separately.
Wire the power supply independently of other devices. In particular, keep the
power supply wired separately from inductive loads.
Use a DC power supply with safety measures against high-voltage spikes (safety extra lowvoltage circuits on the secondary side). If UL recognition is required for the overall system, use
a UL Class II DC power supply.
Use a power supply that meets the following requirements.
Output current 1.2 A min.

Item Description
Reading Rate Displays the rate of successful reading count to the total reading count.
Contrast Evaluates the code is white/black contrast that varies with the lighting condition.
The larger the difference between the white and black parts of the code, the larger the
contrast. “1” will be displayed if the code is contrast is the minimum readable level.
Focus Evaluates the focus level of the image.
If the code is out of focus, it can no longer be recognized. The more the code is out of
focus, the smaller the value displayed.
Cell Evaluates the number of recognition fails for each cell in the finder pattern, timing pattern
and data.
The more cells in which recognition failure occurs and the more unstable the reading is, the
