WARNING
Avoid eye exposure to direct or scattered radiation reflected by a mirror
surface.

Introduction
Usage
• Use laser enclosure device to prevent specular object from reflecting laser beam.
When used without an enclosure, be sure to avoid a laser path from eye level.
• Although the safety distance (NOHD) is approximately 1 m; it is advisable, however, to terminate the laser on its path
if possible. Nonreflective, flatting material is recommendable for termination.
• Wear protective glassed to protect against laser light during set up and adjustment.
Outline of IEC 60825-1 Standard
The following are the safety measures to be taken by the user for each type of laser equipment.

Introduction
Introduction
2. Power Supply and Wiring
• To assure noise and insulation resistance, be sure to use S8VS-01505 (made by
OMRON) as a driving power supply.
• Do not connect a voltage or AC power supply that has a voltage exceeding the rating
voltage (5 V+/-10%).
• Avoid reverse connection of power supply. Do not short circuit a load on OK/NG
output signal (open collector).
• Avoid applying a load that exceeds the rating.
• Be sure to turn the power OFF before connecting or disconnecting a cable.
Connecting or disconnecting a cable while the power is ON may cause failure.
• Connect different cables from high-voltage or power cable s to th e pr od uc t. If th e
same cable or duct is used, electromagnetic induction may result, which may result in
malfunction or damage.
• Tighten the fixing screws at the torque specified in this manual.
3. Communication with Upper Equipment
• Check that the product has started up, and then start communication with upper
equipment.
• Indefinite signals may be generated from the upper interface while the product starts
up. Clear the receive buffer of the devices before starting initial operation.

Introduction
Precautions for Correct Use
Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and adverse effects
on performance and equipment.
1. Installation location
The product must not be installed in a place:
• where ambient temperature is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where a rapid temperature change (dew condensation) occurs,
• where ambient humidity is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where direct vibration or shock may affect the product,
• where exposed to intense ambient light (laser, arc welding, or UV light),
• where exposed to direct sunlight or heat from heating appliances, and
• where a strong magnetic or electric field exists.
Introduction
Because of the protection rating described in the manual, avoid using
locations containing:
• corrosive or combustible gases,
• dust, salt, or metallic powders,
• droplets, water mist, oil or chemical agents.
2. Power supply, connection, and wiring
• Be sure to use S8VS-01505 (made by OMRON) as a driving power supply.
• Do not install the product in a location where a high-voltage device is inst alled.
• Be sure to user the supplied insulation board to assure the noise resistance.
• After connecting the cables, check that the correct power supply is used, that there is
no load short-circuiting or other inappropriate co nnections, and that the load current is
correct before turning the power ON. Faulty wiring may be the cause of failure.
• Use a wrist strap or other similar device to avoid electrostatic char ge when you touch
terminals and signal lines within a connector, and to avoid damage due to static
electricity.
• Try to keep the length of the power cable to a minimum (less than 3 m).
3. Installation
• When installing this code reader , use the provided insulating plate and mounting
bracket.
• Use the provided screws for installation, an d tighten to the torque specified in these
instructions.
• Incline the bar code reader about 15° to read the target bar code.
• Do not apply stress on the cable when mounting and using.

Introduction
Introduction
• V500-R2 series are precision instruments. Be careful not to give an impact or make
them fall.
• Do not hold the sensor only by the cable part when moving the sensor. A sensor body
part will be damaged.
• Distance and angle allowed to read differs according the bar code. Check if the used
bar code can be read actually, before mounting.
4. Timing input with photo-electronic sensor
When taking timing with the photo-electronic sensor , mount the bar co de reader so that
the footlight beam of the photo-electronic sensor does not spot directly on the reading
window of the bar code reader or on the bar code.

5. Influence of reflective objects
When there is any reflective object such as metal or mirror surface on the bar code
beam-scanning surface, reading character may be deteriorate. Cover the reflective
object with something or change the bar code position to avoid influence.

Introduction
6. Mutual interference
When mounting the bar code readers side-by-side, laser beams may interfere reading
each other. The bar code readers should be placed far enough not to affect reading.
Bar code
Introduction
7. Bar code label
• The height of the bar code should be more than the luster scan width (max. 10 mm)
and use a label considering attaching error.
• When reading bar code, margin is necessary on the both sides of the bar code. Set
the label so that margin parts do not hide. A space of one character or more and 2.5
mm or more is necessary of both right and left side of the label. (Rough standard: 12
or 13 times or more of the narrow bar width)

8. To improve reading reliability
• When the digit is determined, designate the digit to use the bar code.
• Use the modulus check (addition of check digit).
• Bar codes other than the reading object should be set to reading prohibition.
p.62
9. Maintenance and check
• Check for any dust or dirt on the reading window regularly. When it is dirty, wipe with
a dry, soft and clean cloth. Do not use solutions such as thinner.
• Handle with care, not to apply strong shock such as dropping.

A bar code reader is a device to read a bar code attached on a product and transfer the
information to upper equipment.
Various types of information can be managed efficiently by using it combining with PC and
programmable controllers.
Problems on siteBar code solution!
Work data are recorded on papers.
> Reading and writing mistakes and
distribution of workers exist.
> Formats are difficult to learn because various
kinds are produced in small numbers.
Cost should be as cheap as possible as
the product price is low.
Register product numbers and setting on PC
and programmable controllers beforehand and
import a product number only by reading a bar
code. Input mistake or distribution of workers
are eliminated.
Cost is very low by only attaching a printed bar
code label.

Optimum for the assembly to each device
34.5 mm
17 mm

Easy installation
Easy to read by pressing the SCAN button and know the reading rate with LED
illumination and buzzer sound in real time.
As reading position is easy to check at site before connecting with upper equipment,
installation work and maintenance work hour can be greatly reduced.
