document.
Risk of injury by electrical current
In the CDM 420 Connection Module, the optional CMP 400 Power Supply Module is
connected to a mains voltage of 100 to 250 V AC/50 to 60 Hz
When working with electrical equipment, always follow the relevant safety regulations.
Laser radiation can seriously damage your eyesight.
The CLV uses a class 2 red-light laser. Looking directly at the laser beam can seriously
damage the retina in your eyes.
The entire glass window acts as a laser outlet aperture.
Caution – use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
As with sunlight, never look directly into the laser beam.
Do not direct the laser beam at other persons.
Mount and align the CLV in such a way to prevent the laser beam reflecting off mirrored
surfaces.
Do not open the housing.
(Opening the housing does not deactivate the laser diode).
Observe the laser protection specifications (latest version).
.
Laser power
The laser operates at a wavelength of λ = 650 to 670 nm (visible red light). The power
output of the laser beam at the reading window is max. 3.6 mW (CLV 421). The emitted
beam is not dangerous to human skin.
The product is classified in laser class 2 (laser class II) in accordance with EN 60825-1, IEC
60825-1, and 21 CFR 1040.10 (for publication date, see the warning sign on the device).
Laser warnings
The laser warning labels (Fig. 2-1) are attached at the following positions on the CLV:
•The laser warning symbol and the laser warning in GB English/US English on line/raster
scanners are positioned beside the reading window on the wide side of the device
(
Fig. 3-1, Page 3-5). The additional laser warnings in English applicable to the USA are
positioned beside the reading window on the front side of the device and at the back
end on the wide side.
•The laser warning symbol and the laser warning in GB English/US English on line/raster
scanners with a 105° angle attachment are positioned beside the reading window on
the wide side (
the USA are positioned on the back side of the attachment of the device and at the
back end on the wide side.
Fig. 3-1, Page 3-5). The additional laser warnings in English applicable to
NoteThe device is supplied with an additional set of laser warning labels in German/US English
and in French/US English. If necessary, these can be used to cover the GB English/
US
English warning.
If the CLV is installed in a machine/panel with the result that the laser warning labels
are no longer visible, additional warnings (not included in the scope of delivery) must
be provided on the machine beside the emergence aperture of the laser beam.
Internal protective circuits
ExplanationThe CLV is equipped with monitoring circuit-breakers that switch off the laser diode if
problems arise with the laser beam.
No maintenance required to keep this product in
compliance with laser class II.
Activation and deactivation of the laser diode when reading is controlled by the reading
pulse (trigger source).
A timer (laser timeout) automatically deactivates the laser diode 10 minutes (default setting)
after a continuous reading pulse is initiated in reading mode with switching input pulse
modes "Sensor Input" and "Serial Interface". In this case, the CLV outputs the message:
"Laser safety timeout" via the terminal interface.
The reading pulse interval is to be terminated by resetting the pulse signal. The laser diode
is activated again by the next reading pulse.
The laser timeout can be set in the range of 1 min to 25 h or deactivated (seeTable 6-4,
Page 6-8).
In the "Percentage Evaluation" mode, "Adjusting" mode, "Show CP-limits" and
"AutoSetup" mode as well as in the pulse modes "Free Running" and “Continuous
Read“, in reading mode, the laser diode is constantly activated. In the "reflector
polling" trigger mode the laser diode is switched on for each 20th
Switch off the power supply or remove the CLV connector from the connection module.
This can result in loss of the following (at the most):
•the application-specific parameter set, if it was only stored temporarily in the CLV
•the last reading result
•daily operating data
(operating hours counter, trigger count, no. of good reads, no. of no reads, maximum
duration trigger, minimum duration trigger, matchcode 1, matchcode 2, no match)
2.4.2Restarting the CLV
Switch on the supply voltage or reattach the connector to the connection module.
The CLV resumes operation with the parameter set that was last stored permanently
and resets the daily operating data.
2.5Environmental information
The CLV is designed to cause minimum impact on the environment. It does not contain any
silicone-based materials on the hosuing surface and, therefore, does not represent any
problems for e.g. paint sprayers in paint shops.
2.5.1Power requirements
The power requirements are particularly low:
•the CLV 420/421/422 line/raster scanners have a max. power consumption of 3.5 W
The value is given for devices with disconnected switching outputs.
2.5.2Disposal after final decommissioning
Always dispose of unusable or irreparable devices in a manner that is not harmful to the
environment and in accordance with the applicable national waste disposal regulations. The
CLV can be separated into recyclable secondary raw materials and special-category waste
(electronic scrap). See
At present, SICK AG does not accept any unusable or irreparable devices.

Further processing
of the reading result
Status indicator
e. g. Good Read
e. g. No Read
The tried and tested standard decoder of the CLV series is available for decoding.
The CLV derives useful diagnosis data from the reading process and transfers it to the host.
It also records operating data that can be interrogated at any time. The quality of the read
can be checked in "Percentage Evaluation" mode.
To start a reading process when an object is located in the reading field, the CLV requires a
suitable trigger. This opens a time window ("reading interval") in the CLV for the reading
procedure. In the default setting, this trigger is supplied by an external reading pulse sensor.
Alternative trigger sources include reflector polling, free-running mode or a command via the
host interface.
The current operating status is indicated by four LEDs.
A beeper indicates the status of the reading result. In the default setting, the "Good Read"
function is selected for this.
If the trigger is supplied externally by a sensor, the "Sensor 1" switching input signals the
start of the reading procedure to the CLV. The "Sensor 2" switching input can be used to
teach in a match code. The "Result 1" and "Result 2" switching outputs can be assigned
various functions and trigger external devices, such as a PLC.
The CLV is operated and configured via the serial terminal interface (auxiliary interface) using
the "CLV Setup" software or via the host/terminal interface and command strings.
System messages, warnings and error messages help you with configuration and with
locating the source of errors during startup and in reading mode.
Generates a scan line. Due to the V-principle of beam deflection, the reading field height (for
evaluating the useful length of the scan line) is dependent on the reading distance.
Raster scanner
Generates 8 parallel scan lines that are offset by the same distance. Due to the V-principle
of beam deflection, the reading field height (for evaluating the useful length of the scan lines)
is dependent on the reading distance.
Raster height of the scan line field: 15 mm (0.59 in) at a reading distance of 200 mm
(7.88 in) (front reading window).
3.3Indicators and operating elements
3.3.1Operating elements
The CLV is operated and configured via the terminal interface (auxiliary interface) using the
"CLV Setup" program or using command strings sent via the host interface/terminal
interface. A variety of parameterizing options allow you to adapt the device to a wide range
of applications.
The following can be defined (among others):
•the configuration of the code types to be read
•the reading, evaluation and output characteristics
•the communication parameters of the host interface
•the structure of the data output string for "good read" and "no read" on the host
interface
•the function of the terminal interface
Chapter 10.4 Installation and operating instructions for the PC-based "CLV Setup" program,

Fig. 4-1: Example line scanner: replacing the laser warning label
4.2.5Selecting the installation location
When you select the installation location, the distance between the CLV and the host and
between the CLV and the bar code are important.
Distance between the CLV and the host
The CLV can be installed without a connection to the SICK CAN Scanner Network or to a bus
connection max.
1,200 m (3,936.96 ft) away from the host. The distance which can be
achieved depends on the selected model of the host interface and the set data transfer
rate, however. See
Table 5-2, Page 5-3.
Distance between the CLV and the CDB 420 or CDM 420 connection module
The CDB 420 or CDM 420 connection module must not be located further than 10 m
(32.8 ft) away from the CLV, since the "CLV Setup" program on the PC accesses the
terminal interface of the CLV via this module (RS 232).
4.2.6Mounting accessories
The CLV is mounted with the help of two tapped blind holes (M4) located on the bottom
narrow side of the device.
Fig. 4-2 shows the position of the threaded hole for both housing
models. The complete dimensions of the CLV housing are shown in Fig. 9-1, Page 9-3.
