115 V AC 50/60 Hz supply voltage, depending on the type.
¾
Observe the common safety regulations when working on electrical installations.
Laser radiation may cause damage to your eyes!
The CLV operates with a Class 2 red-light laser. The retina can be damaged if you look
too long into the laser beam.
¾
Never look directly into the laser beam (comparable with sunlight).
¾
Do not point the laser beam at persons.
¾
When mounting and aligning the CLV take the reflection of the laser beam against reflecting surfaces into account.
¾
Do not open the housing.
(Opening does not interrupt activation of the laser diode by the reading pulsing.)
¾
Observe the laser protection specifications in accordance with DIN EN 60825-1 (latest
version).
Laser performance
The laser operates with a wavelength of λ= 650 nm (visible red light). The power output of
the laser beam amounts to a max. of 3.5 mW at the reading window.
The emitted radiation is not dangerous to the human skin.
Laser warning labels

Operating Instructions Chapter 2
CLV 45x Bar Code Scanner
Safety information
Internal protective circuits
The CLV has monitoring circuits which shut off the laser diode when irregularities occur in
the beam generation.
The switching on and off of the laser diode during the reading process is controlled by the
reading pulsing (pulse source).
In the pulsing types "Sensor input" and "Serial interface" a timer (laser timeout) switches off
the laser diode automatically 10 min (default setting) after the beginning of a lasting reading
pulse during reading mode. However it does not terminate the reading pulse. CLV outputs
the following message via the terminal interface:
"Laser safety timeout"
The reading pulse has to be terminated by means of a corresponding pulse signal. The next
reading pulse re-activates the laser diode.
The laser timeout can be set in the range of 1 min ... 25 h or de-activated (refer to
Table 6-7, Page 6-12
The laser diode is always active in reading mode in the operating modes "Percentage
evaluation", "Adjusting mode", "Show CP limits" and "Auto setup" as well as in the
"free-running" pulsing type.
).
2.4Quick Stop and Quick Restart
2.4.1Switching off the CLV
¾
Switch off the supply voltage or pull off the cable plug of the CLV from the connection
module.
At most the following may be lost:
•
The application-specific parameter record, if it was only saved temporarily in the CLV
•
The last reading result
•
Day operating data
(operating hours counter, trigger count, number of good reads, maximum duration
trigger, minimum duration trigger, average identification quality)
2.4.2Switching on the CLV again
¾
Switch on the supply voltage or pin up again the cable plug of the CLV to the connection
module.
The CLV restarts operation with the parameter record last saved permanently and re-
sets the day operating data.
The CLV is designed so that it harms the environment as little as possible. It does not have
any materials using silicone and is therefore not a source of faults for, for example, coating
wetting in paint shops.
2.5.1Power requirement
The power requirement is low.
•
The line scanner consumes a max. of 6 W
•
The line scanner with oscillating mirror consumes a max. of 7.2 W
The values each correspond to operation with open-circuited switching outputs.
2.5.2Disposal after final removal from service
Dispose of unusable or irreparable devices in accordance with the respective state regulations on waste disposal in a manner compatible with the environment. The design of the CLV
allows it to be separated into recyclable secondary raw materials and hazardous waste
(electronic scrap). Refer to
Chapter 7.3 Disposal, Page 7-2
.
At present SICK AG does not take back devices which have become unusable or
irreparable.

Product description
3.2Working method of the device
The CLV detects bar codes by means of a scan line and decodes them. The CLV transmits
the data via the main data interface (serial host interface) to a host/PC for further processing.
The SMART decoder (SICK Modular Advanced Recognition Technology) for decoding
bar codes with a small "aspect ratio" (ratio of the code height to the code length), for
bar codes with damaged or soiled printing image as well as for reading bar codes under
a strong tilt (azimuth angle)
•
The proven standard decoder of the CLV series
The CLV derives useful data for diagnostics from the reading processes, which can also be
transferred to the host. In addition it carries retrievable operating data. The quality of the
reading can be checked in the "Percentage evaluation" operating mode.
The CLV requires suitable triggering in order to start a reading process when there is an
object in the reading area. This results in a time window ("reading interval") for the reading
process being opened in the CLV. In the default setting triggering is carried out by means of
an external reading pulse sensor. Alternative trigger sources are free-running operation or a
command via the host interface.
Four LED status displays inform optically on the current operating state.
A beeper (buzzer) signals the status of the read result acoustically. In the default setting the
Good Read function is selected to this purpose.
In the case of external triggering by a sensor the "Sensor 1" switching input signals the CLV
when it is to start a reading. The "Sensor 2" switching input is used to change over the focal
position. It can be used alternatively e. g. for the teach-in of a match code. The switching
outputs "Result 1" and "Result 2" can have various output functions of the result status assigned to them and control external devices, such as a PLC.
The CLV is operated and configured via the auxiliary data interface (serial terminal interface)
by means of the user interface of the "CLV-Setup" PC software or via the host interface/
terminal interface by means of command strings.
System, warning and error messages provide support in setting up and searching for errors
during starting up and reading operation.

3.2.1Changeable focal position
The CLV 45x can change its focal position dynamically and thus cover a large reading range.
To this purpose a max. of 8 reading ranges can be defined internally as a distance configuration and can be approached during reading mode by the optics in a random order
Fig. 3-4
(
).
3-6
Fig. 3-4: Focal position changeover: Division of the overall reading range into distance
The changeover is carried out on the basis of the changing object distance (when reading
from above: object height detection). The trigger source for the changeover with a maximum
of 2 st ages is a s ignal at t he "Se nsor 2 " swi tch ing inp ut. For th e cha ngeov er w ith a m axim um
of 8 stages a command at the host interface interface or the integrated timer (e. g. for
search runs). At the line scanner with oscillating mirror additionally the oscillating mirror inversion points of the two-sided displacement. The distance configurations are assigned to
the changeover sequence by means of a programmable assignment table.
3.2.2Variants of the scanning process
Line scanner
Generates one scan line. The reading area height (for evaluating the usable length of the
scan line) depends on the reading distance because of the V principle of the beam deflection.
Line scanner with oscillating mirror
The oscillating mirror additionally deflects the scan line vertically to the scanning direction to
both sides at a low oscillating frequency. This means that the CLV can also scan larger areas
or ranges for bar codes. The reading field height (for evaluating the usable length of the scan
line) depends on the reading distance because of the V principle of the beam deflection.
In addition to parking (fixed position) and the simple deflection with a maximum deflection
width, optimized function runs of the oscillating mirror are also possible:
•
Oscillation with variable deflection per distance configuration
•
One-Shot: Single defined deflection per reading pulse (forward and return).

Distance between the CLV and the host
The CLV can be mounted at a max. of 1 200 m from the host without being connected to a
SICK network or to a bus connection. However, the possible distance depends on the
selected physical implementation of the host interface and the set data transfer rate (refer
Table 5-2, Page 5-2
to
).
Distance between the CLV and the AMV/S 40 connection module
The AMV/S 40 connection module should not be installed more than 10 m from the CLV,
since the PC with the "CLV-Setup" software accesses the terminal interface of the CLV via
the module (RS-232 type).

The effective aperture angle α amounts for the CLV 450 to a max. of 50°, for the CLV 451
to a max. of 55° at both scanning processes. Due to the V principle of the beam deflection
the reading field height (for evaluating the usable length of the scan line) depends on the
reading distance.
Angle position of the CLV
The optimum position of the CLV is reached when the scan line passes over the bar code

CLV 45x Bar Code Scanner
Avoiding surface reflections
If the light of the scan line falls exactly vertically on the surface of the bar code, disturbing
reflections can occur when the reflected light is received. In order to avoid this effect the
CLV must be installed so that the emitted light is tilted relative to the perpendicular.
Fig. 4-8: Avoiding surface reflections: Angle between the emitted light and the bar code (tilted
away from the perpendicular)
At the line scanner with oscillating mirror the laser beam is emitted during oscillating mode
at an angle of 105° to the housing during the pass through the neutral position CW = 50).
The device can only be mounted flush to the edge at the transport unit if the deflection ranges of the oscillating mirror is small. Otherwise the device also has to be mounted at an angle of inclination of 15 in order to attain symmetrical deflection ranges.
4.2.8Counting direction of the code position CP and of the code angle CW
ExplanationThe CLV can scan and decode several bar codes during every reading.
In the process it determines the local reading diagnostic data for each bar code:
•
The position (CP value) of the bar code center within the scan line
•
In addition in case of a scanning process with oscillating mirror the deflection angle of
the scan line (CW value) under which the bar code center is detected
Fig. 4-9
shows the counting direction of the code position and of the code angle.
The determination of the two data allow identical bar codes (code type, code length and
data contents) to be separated as well as the local assignment of the bar code data in the
read result to its position on the object.

4.3.2Adjusting the CLV
The "Percentage evaluation" operating mode supports adjustment of the CLV. In this operating mode the CLV displays the quality of the readings of bar codes which are placed
statically into the reading area of the CLV (no transport movement of the object). The CLV
carries out 100 scans each free running and evaluates the reading quality statically. It outputs the read results continuously every 2 s via the terminal interface.
The display behavior of the "Result" LED provides additional optical information on the reading quality:
•
If the LED does not light up, the CLV cannot read the bar code (reading quality < 30 %).
•
If the LED flashes, the CLV can only read the bar code badly
(reading quality 30 % ... 90 %).
•
If the LED lights up continuously, the CLV is aligned optimally (reading quality > 90 %).
In the default setting the scanning frequency amounts to 600 Hz.
1.Connect the CLV to the AMV/S 40 connection module and switch on the supply voltage

After the start the CLV confirms the successful self-test with a beeper sound and shortly

During all the further steps observe the behavior of the reading quality (as a %)!
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In the percentage evaluation mode the CLV behaves in the following manner:
– in “Oscillating“ mode (default setting: oscillating with a fixed amplitude), the CLV shuts
off oscillation and positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50 (corresponding to
an angle of deflection of 105°). This position cannot be altered.
– in “One-Shot“ mode, the CLV also positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50.
– in “Set Position“ mode, the scan line’s selected position remains unchanged.
Carrying out fine adjustment:
11. Align the CLV so that the angle between the scan line and the bar code bars amounts
to approximately 90°.
12. In order to avoid disturbing reflections, turn the CLV out of the perpendicular so that the
emitted light impacts on the bar code at an angle of approx. 105° (line scanner)
Fig. 4-8, Page 4-6
(
).
13. If necessary, position the center of the scan line exactly on the bar code (
Auxiliary functions for adjusting, Page 4-10
).
14. Manually guide objects with bar codes successively under realistic conditions into the
reading area of the CLV and check the read result. If the objects move loosely, check
several different positions (angles) of the bar code and ensure that the limits of the
permitted reading angle is not exceeded.
15. Adjust the CLV so the "Good Read" rate lies between 70 ... 100 %.
In case of different object sizes per defined reading range (distance configuration)
check the selected focal position and if necessary correct the parameterization (refer
16. Tighten the screws at the CLV.
The CLV is aligned to the bar code.
4.3.3Auxiliary functions for adjusting
Adjusting mode
The "Adjusting mode" operating mode supports the optimum positioning of the center of
the scan line on the object. To the purpose the CLV hides half of the scan line from the center (code position CP = 50 to CP = 100). This is carried out irrespective of a selected distance configuration.

Terminal assignment
The terminal assignment printed on the board in the connection area of the AMV/S 40 is
valid for the device types CLV 21x/22x/41x. If a CLV 45x is connected via the 15-pin
socket, the resulting terminal assignment deviates from the printed terminal assignment.
This also applies for the representation in the wiring diagram in the housing cover.
Danger of damage to the CLV and external I/O devices!
The deviating display of the terminal strip assignment means that external devices (e. g. PC)
can be connected incorrectly to the CLV and possibly damaged.

4.4.3Mounting the sensor for detecting the object distance
The CLV provides a dynamic focal position changeover for serial covering of a large reading
range. To this purpose a changeover with a maximum of 2 stages can be implemented via
the "Sensor 2" switching input.
Fig. 4-13
shows an example for reading from above. A
photoelectric reflex switch is, for example, used for the detection of the object distance. This
application is suitable for such object sizes whose difference can be covered by 2 changeover ranges. The distance sensor is to be positioned so that these object sizes are
classified clearly and two overlapping reading ranges arise which can be formed with the

6.3Quick-Start
A PC does not have to be connected if the CLV is operated with the factory default setting.
6.3.1Starting up the line scanner/line scanner with oscillating mirror with the
factory default setting
1. Connect the CLV to the SICK AMV/S 40 connection module.
2. Connect the reading-pulse sensor (e. g. photoelectric reflex switch or switch) to the
"Sensor 1" switching input of the CLV via the AMV/S 40 (refer to
the "Sensor 1" switching input, Page 5-7
).
3. Switch on the supply voltage of the AMV/S 40.
After the start the CLV confirms the successful self-test with a beeper sound and shortly
afterwards starting of the reading mode is signaled by two consecutive sounds. The
"Device Ready" LED lights up. The "Result 1" ("Device Ready") output switches.
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In reading mode the CLV deflects the scan line in the default setting with a frequency of
1 Hz around the position CW = 50 at a maximum angle of ± 20°. 50 CW corresponds
to a light emission under 105°.
4. Start the reading pulse: Block the light path of the photoelectric switch or close the
switch.
The "Laser On" LED lights up. The CLV switches the laser diode on and the scan line
appears.
5. Present the bar code pattern in

6. Align the bar code in such a way that the red scan line is almost at a 90° angle to the
bars (line scanner) or that the red scan line sweeps the bars at a 90° angle when it is
deflected (oscillating mirror).
7. End the reading pulse: Unblock the light path of the photoelectric switch or open the
switch.
The "Laser On" LED is extinguished. The CLV switches off the laser diode.
The CLV confirms that the bar code was read successfully by outputting an acoustic
signal via the beeper. The "Result" LED lights up for duration of 100 ms. The "Result 2"
("Good Read") output switches for the duration of 100 ms.
The CLV can now be operated with the factory default setting.
The device can be switched off without the configuration data being lost as no changes have
been made to the parameter record.

The CLV is configured locally to suit the local reading situation. This ensures that the reading,
evaluation and output properties can be parameterized as required. The initial base is the
factory default setting or an application-specific parameter record already created for the
CLV.
The CLV supports four different configuration methods:
•
Configuration by means of the "CLV-Setup" PC software and the CLV assistant
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
•
Configuration by means of Auto Setup
(reading and code configurations for one bar code are adapted automatically via the
optical interface (reading window))

•
Configuration by means of Profile bar codes
(parameter values are set via the optical interface (reading window))
(refer to
•
Configuration by means of command strings
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)

Explanation of oscillating mirror functions
"Oscillating with fixed amplitude" operating mode
The oscillating mirror deflects the scan line up to the maximum deflection range of
"Oscillating with Variable Amplitude" operating mode
The deflection range can be parameterized separately for each of the maximum of 8
distance configurations/focal positions. The limitation of the deflection range for fast applications ensure that the scan line only sweeps areas that contain bar codes during the time
available. At the same time this allows an almost constant scan line density on the object.

Operation
"Fixed position" operating mode
The CLV parks the oscillating mirror at the desired position. 10 CW correspond to –20°, and
90 CW to +20° (
Fig. 4-8, Page 4-6
). In the default setting, the fixed position is set to 50 CW
(angle of deflection of 105°). The oscillating mode is switched off.
"One-Shot" mode
In the "One-Shot" mode the oscillating mirror only performs one specific oscillating movement per reading interval. This movement consists of a forward phase and a return phase.
The start position of the scan line, the mirror speed and the valid distance configuration can
be parameterized separately for each phase. The end position of the one phase forms the
start position of the other phase.
Fig. 6-5
shows an example for the application in object
tracking. During the forward phase, the front of the object that moves towards the oscillating
mirror is swept once by the scan line from top to bottom in accordance with the conveyor
speed. Multiple focus position switchovers are not necessary as the required reading range
(DOF) is much smaller than with the line scanner.
Chapter 10.7.2 Calculating the start position and mirror speed for the forward and return phase of the One-Shot function,
Page 10-37

veyor speed.

6.4.4Configuring the CLV with Auto Setup
Auto Setup enables the reading and code configurations of the CLV to be adapted automatically to the existing read situation. The following conditions must be fulfilled for the
execution:
•
One bar code (code type, code length)
•
Fixed reading distance
•
No transport movement (static reading)
The CLV determines the code type, code length, the optimum focal position and the most
favorable scanning rate for the bar code presented. This takes place in Free running mode
with the standard decoder even if the SMART decoder may have been preselected beforehand for the Reading mode. Once Auto Setup has been completed successfully, the CLV
copies the parameter values determined to its parameter record. All other code types and code lengths are disabled for further readings. If Auto Setup was not completed successfully, the parameter record is not changed. In Auto Setup the CLV does not read a Pharmacode or an EAN or UPC attachments. It does not react to an external reading pulse.
Auto Setup can be activated in three different ways in the CLV:
•
By means of the CLV-Setup user interface
•
By presenting Profile bar code No. 10 on the card supplied to the optical interface
(reading window)
Chapter 10.5.1 Activate Auto Setup with Profile bar code, Page 10-28
See
•
By means of a command string (via the serial interface)
Chapter 10.6 Configuring the CLV with command strings, Page 10-33
See
.
.
While Auto Setup is running, the CLV outputs the step-by-step changes made to the parameter values in the search mode as well as the determined diagnostic data via the terminal
interface in the form of a list. The list can be displayed, for example, in the terminal emulator
of CLV-Setup. Once Auto Setup has been completed, appropriate error messages are output for diagnosed malfunctions in the event of a no read.

ExplanationAuto Setup procedure
1.The CLV moves across the entire focal position range in steps of 25 mm from
F = 200 mm to 1 200 mm at a scanning frequency of 600 Hz. It evaluates the reading
quality of 100 scans at each focal position.
2.When it reaches the part of the focal position range with the highest reading quality, the
CLV determines 5 positions from which it then mathematically calculates the maximum
reading quality and the focal position.
3.The CLV approaches this calculated focal position and performs a verification read.
4.If the reading quality is >75 %, the CLV increases its scanning frequency in steps of
100 Hz, starting at 400 Hz, up to 1 000 Hz. Once again, it evaluates the reading quality
SICK AG · Division Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved8 009 139/K949/06-06-2002
Operating Instructions Chapter 6
CLV 45x Bar Code Scanner
Operation
of 100 scans for each step. If the reading quality is lower, the CLV changes further
parameter values internally.
5. The CLV performs verification reads around the scanning frequency with the highest
reading quality at a scanning frequency lying 50 Hz above and 50 Hz below it.
6. It then copies the optimum scanning frequency, the focal position, as well as the code
type and code length in its parameter record.
Activating Auto Setup by means of the CLV-Setup user interface
In CLV-Setup, Auto Setup can be started by selecting the appropriate menu path, via the
terminal emulator or as an executable device function (interactively). We recommend
starting the Auto Setup by means of the terminal emulator since the progress display is
better.
Preparing Auto Setup
1. Switch on the supply voltage of the AMV/S 40 connection module (of the CLV).
After the start the CLV confirms the successful self-test with a beeper sound and shortly
afterwards starting of the reading mode is signaled by two consecutive sounds. The
"Device Ready" LED lights up.
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In the Auto Setup mode the CLV behaves in the following manner:
– in “Oscillating“ mode (default setting: oscillating with a fixed amplitude), the CLV shuts
off oscillation and positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50 (corresponding to
an angle of deflection of 105°). This position cannot be altered.
– in “One-Shot“ mode, the CLV also positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50.
– in “Set Position“ mode, the scan line’s selected position remains unchanged.
2. Upload the current parameter record from the CLV with CLV-Setup (the parameter
records initially contains the factory default settings).
CLV-Setup displays the values in the tab cards of the user interface.
3. Auto Setup overwrites important values in the current parameter record of the CLV.
Save the existing parameter record as a configuration file "*.scl" in CLV-Setup before
you change the parameter recordings (refer to
Chapter 6.4.1 Configuring the CLV by
means of the CLV-Setup user interface, Page 6-4).
Carrying out the Auto Setup
1. Click on in the toolbar.
The terminal emulator is then opened. The CLV is in the Reading mode.
2. Present the application-specific bar code to the CLV at the maximum reading distance
for the application. Take the limit values of the CLV into consideration (refer to the
reading field diagrams in
Chapter 10.2 Specification diagrams, Page 10-2
In order to avoid surface reflections, rotate the bar code towards the CLV approximately
15° away from the vertical axis (refer to
3. Click on the A

EVICE MODE
The CLV aborts reading mode. The "Device Ready" LED is extinguished.
The CLV then starts Auto Setup and temporarily activates the standard decoder. The
scan line appears when the "Laser On" LED lights up.
4. The CLV then runs Auto Setup and continuously displays the changes to the parameter
values in the terminal emulator.
Fig. 6-6
contains an example of this.
5. The CLV confirms that Auto Setup has been completed successfully by outputting two
consecutive acoustic signals via the beeper and activating the "Result" LED for 100 ms
(default setting). To begin with it only overwrites the appropriate parameter values in the
RAM.
The CLV returns to the Reading mode with the decoder parameterized for this purpose.
The "Device Ready" LED lights up. The R

Terminating Auto Setup by the CLV in the event of a no read
If the CLV was not able to execute Auto Setup successfully, it terminates the search mode
after the last increase made to the parameter values by outputting a long acoustic signal via
the beeper.
Depending on the reason for Auto Setup being terminated, it outputs one of the following
error messages via the terminal interface:

In the Adjusting mode the CLV behaves in the following manner:
–in “Oscillating“ mode (default setting: oscillating with a fixed amplitude), the CLV shuts
off oscillation and positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50 (corresponding to
an angle of deflection of 105°). This position cannot be altered.
–in “One-Shot“ mode, the CLV also positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50.
