Introduction

Laser and Product Safety

Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1
(2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:

• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than
cleaning of the scan window(s) is required.

• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa laser
product. The system uses two embedded Class 3R Visible Laser
Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in an opto­mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Maximum emitted peak output power at the window is 760µW. No
attempt should be made by the user to remove the protective hous­ing of the scanner.

• Laser Light Viewing. The scan window is the only aperture through
which laser light may be observed in this product.

CAUTION

Exposure to the light emitted from the scan window(s) has been shown
not to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after
millions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser
technology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the
world.

Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions
and warnings:

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard.
(Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magni­fying glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).

To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of the
scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.

NOTE

Installation: Model 2200VS

4. The scanner should beep to indicate it has passed the power-up Self­test routine, and the green LED (lamp) will light continuously, indi­cating the scanner is ready to scan.

Reference Chapter 4, Problem Isolation if the scanner does not
perform as expected.

5. Scan a few known-good bar code labels to verify operation. Upon
reading each bar code, the scanner should beep once and flash its
green LED.

Your scanner may only read one or two bar codes when not con­nected to a host terminal, requiring that you reset the scanner
before it will read again. This is normal, as some interface types
require the scanner to “buffer” (store) data until the terminal sig­nals its readiness to accept the data.

Once you’re satisfied of the scanner’s operation, disconnect power and
proceed to the installation instructions.

Installation: Model 2200VS

The Magellan® 2200VS scanner can either be used “freestanding,” or can
be conveniently mounted to a countertop or wall using the mounting
bracket. Provide a secure installation as described below.

1. Determine the best location for scanner installation. Some consider­ations are:

• Cable routing to and from the scanner: Can cables and connected

devices be routed in such a way as to be protected from damage or
tampering? Depending on your installation, it may be necessary
to drill a 1-1/4” (3.2cm) hole in the countertop or wall.

• Mounting stability. Avoid placing the scanner in such a way as to

subject it to excess vibration, bumping, spillage, etc.

• Peripheral connections from the scanner, such as a handheld

device.

as described below.

1. Determine the best location for scanner. Some considerations are:

• Proximity to the user. Verify that checkstand features allow the

unit to be within easy reach of the user, without interfering with
cash drawers or other equipment.

• Cable routing to and from the scanner: Can cables and connected

devices be routed in such a way as to be protected from damage or
tampering?

• Mounting stability. Avoid placing the scanner in such a way as to

subject it to excess vibration, bumping, spillage, etc.

• Peripheral connections from the scanner, such as a handheld

device.

2. The countertop must be modified to accept the scanner. At the time
of this writing, three options are available.

Figure 2-3a shows the dimensions for the opening and other

—

details if a shelf is to be built to support the unit.

Figure 2-3b details the cutout dimensions if an adapter fixture

—

holding the scanner will rest with its rim above the countertop.

Figure 2-3c provides dimensions if an adapter fixture holding

—

the scanner will be recessed to be flush with the countertop.

3. Remove the Connector Cover, then connect and route the cables at
the scanner. Reference

Figure 2-4.

4. Seat the scanner or in the countertop opening (or adapter).

5. Switch the terminal OFF.

6. Connect the interface cable to the terminal.

7. Connect the scanner’s AC Adapter to the AC outlet.
