SAFETY REGULATIONS
2SAFETY REGULATIONS
2.1Laser Safety
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of the VB14A scanner.
2.2Standard Regulations
This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser
beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as
one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser
beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors,
etc.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both EN 60825-1 and CDRH
21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. The scanner is classified as a Class 2 laser
product according to EN 60825-1 regulations and as a Class II laser product
according to CDRH regulations.
There is a safety device which allows the laser to be switched on only if the motor is
rotating above the threshold for its correct scanning speed.
The motor and laser beam can be switched off through a software command (see also
the VisoSetup Help On Line).
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous visible laser
light.
Warning
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on the front
of the scanner (figure 3.1 (7)).
General notes
Warning labels indicating exposure to laser light and the device classification are
applied onto the body of the scanner (figure 3.1).

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
4GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
The following can be used as a checklist to verify all of the steps necessary for
complete installation of the VB14A scanner.
1.Read all information in the section "Safety Precautions" at the beginning of this
manual.
2.Correctly mount the reader using the bracket provided according to the
information see Section 6.1.2
3.Position the reader at the correct reading distance according to your model as
shown see Section 6.4
4.Make electrical connections to your VB14A scanner by either:
a) Connecting the test cable to the VB14A scanner as described in figure 6.17
b) Providing correct and complete system cabling according to the signals
necessary for the layout of your application.
• Layout: Point-to-point, RS485 Master/Slave, RS232 Master/Slave, See sub-para-
graphs under see section 6.5 for reference.
• "Cabling: Power, Main Serial Interface, Auxiliary Interface (RS232), Inputs, Out-
puts, etc. For further details, see all sub-paragraphs under section 6.2
5.Configure the VB14A scanner by installing and running the VisoSetup
configuration program from the CD- ROM provided. The main steps are:
•"Select the codes to be read
•"Set-up the communication parameters
•"Define data formatting parameters
•"Fine tune your VB14A scanner using the Test Mode as described in VisoSetup.
Specific parameter details are available in the Help On Line. See also the Guide To
Rapid Configuration link.
6.Exit the configuration program and run your application.

6.2Electrical Connections
The VB14A models are equipped with a cable terminated by a 25-pin male D-sub
connector for connection to the power supply and input/output signals.
Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) ground
references. GND and SGND are internally connected through filtering
circuitry which can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage
