2.2Intended use
The CLV is designed to detect and decode bar codes automatically. It is mounted in a
reading station and reads bar codes on objects positioned on a conveyor belt, for example.
In stand-alone configuration the CLV transfers the data content of the decoded bar codes
via its host interface to a host for further processing. Being integrated in the OTS 400 Omni
Tracking System together with other CLVs, the CLV transfers the read results via its CAN interface to the OTC 400 Omni Tracking Controller.
Any warranty claims vis-à-vis SICK AG will be rendered invalid if the device is used for any
other purpose or if changes are made to the device, also as part of the mounting and
electrical installation procedures.
NoteDon’t open the device. The producer warranty will be forfeited if the device is opened.
2.3General safety instructions and protection measures
¾ Always read the general safety instructions carefully and observe them at all times.
Please also observe the warnings in front of the operating instructions in each chapter
of this document.
Risk of injury by electrical current
In the CDM 490 Connection Module, the optional CMP 490 Power Supply Module is connected to a mains voltage of 100 to 250 V AC/ 50 to 60 Hz.
¾ When working with electrical equipment, always follow the relevant safety specifications.
Laser beam can cause blindness.
The CLV uses a class 2 red-light laser. Looking directly at the laser beam can seriously
damage your eyesight.
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.
¾ As with sunlight, never look directly into the laser beam.
¾ Do not direct the laser beam at other persons.
¾ Mount and align the CLV in such a way to prevent the laser beam reflecting off mirrored
surfaces.
¾ Do not open the housing.
(Opening the housing does not deactivate the laser diode).
¾ Observe the laser protection specifications (latest version)
Laser power
The laser operates at a wave length of λ = 650 nm (visible red light). The power output at
the reading window is max. 2.8 mW. The emitted radiation 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 symbols (Fig. 2-1) can be found on the CLV at the following locations:
•The laser warning symbol on line scanners is positioned beside the reading window on
the front side of the device. The laser warning in GB English/US English is located on the
side containing the electrical connections (see 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 bottom of the device.
•The laser warning symbol on line scanners with oscillating mirror is located above the
reading window, on the cover of the mirror. The laser warning in GB English/US English
is located on the side containing the electrical connections.
The additional laser warnings in English applicable to the USA are positioned below the
reading window on the front side of the device and at the bottom of the front side.
NoteA set of laser warnings in German/US English and French/US English is included in the
delivery scope. The GB English/US English warnings can be pasted over with these if
necessary.
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
The CLV is equipped with monitoring circuits that deactivate the laser diode in the event of
a malfunction. No maintenance required to keep this product in compliance with laser
class II.
Activation and deactivation of the laser diode is controlled by the reading pulse (trigger
source).
A timer (laser timeout) automatically deactivates the laser diode in Reading mode ("Sensor
input" and "Serial interface" trigger mode) if the reading interval has not ended after
10 minutes (default setting). However, it does not end the reading interval. In this case, the
CLV outputs the message:
"Laser safety timeout"
on the terminal interface. The reading interval must be terminated by resetting the trigger
signal. The laser diode is activated again by the next reading trigger.
The laser timeout can be set in the range of 1 min to 25 h or deactivated (see Table 6-23,
Page 6-37).
In the "Percentage Evaluation" mode, "Adjusting" mode and "Show CP-limits" mode as
well as in the pulse mode "Free-running", in reading mode, the laser diode is constantly
activated. In the pulse mode "Object Polling" the laser diode is activated due to the
parameterized search/pause ratio. In the "Background Analysis" function the laser didoe is constantly pulsed.
NoteIn the Reading mode, the CLV carries out a distance measurement referencing at regular
intervals. During referencing, it turns the laser diode on for a maximum of 10 seconds.
¾ Switch off the power supply or remove the cables of the CLV from the connection
module.
This can result in loss of the following (at the most):
•The application-specific parameter set, if it was stored temporarily in the CLV
•The last reading result
•Daily operating data
(operating hours counter, number of reading intervals, Good Read count, No Read
count, maximum duration trigger, minimum duration trigger, matchcode 1 count, matchcode 2 count, no match count)
2.4.2Restarting the CLV
¾ Switch on the power supply or reattach the cables of the CLV to the connection
module.
The CLV resumes operation with the parameter set that was last stored permanently
and reset 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 housing surface and, therefore, does not represent any
problems for paint sprayers in paint shops, for example.
2.5.1Power requirements

CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
3.2Method of operation
The CLV first scans the bar code with a scan line and then decodes it. In stand-alone configuration, the data is forwarded via the serial host interface (main data interface) to a host/
PC for further processing, or via the CAN interface to the OTS 400 Omni Tracking System.
An overview of the CLV functions is provided in Fig. 3-2.

Fig. 3-2: Block diagram: CLV functions
The CLV is equipped with two decoders:
•The SMART decoder (SICK Modular Advanced Recognition Technology) for decoding
bar codes with small code height, bar codes that are dirty or damaged, as well as bar
codes that are tilted excessively (azimuth angle)
•The tried-and-tested standard decoder of the CLV series
The CLV derives useful diagnosis data from the reading process and can transfer it to also
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 the reading process when an object is located in the reading field, the CLV requires
a suitable trigger. This opens an internal time window ("reading interval") in the CLV. In the
default configuration, this trigger is supplied by an external reading pulse sensor. Alternative
trigger sources include Free-running mode or a command via the host interface (for more
complex applications: object polling or OTS trigger).
The current operating status is indicated by four LEDs.
If the trigger is supplied externally, the "Sensor" switching input instructs the CLV to start the
reading process. The five "IN 0" to "IN 4" switching inputs switch the focus position in
response to certain events, as an alternative to the autofocus function. The "IN 3" and
"IN 4” inputs can also be assigned special functions. The four "Result 1" to "Result 4"
switching outputs can be assigned to different functions for displaying the result status and
also control 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 interface/terminal interface using command
strings.
System and error messages help you to configure the device and to locate the source of
errors during startup and reading mode.
3.2.1Autofocus function
The autofocus function enables the CLV to detect the distance of an object during the reading process, without the need for external sensors, and then adjusts the focus position automatically to the reading plane of the bar code. In order to do so, the CLV measures the
object distance each time in its reading field in front of the reading window and internally creates a distance profile. Following this, it positions the focus on the object.
3 operating modes are provided for various applications:
•Minimum distance: the CLV focuses on the minimum distance in the distance profile
and ignores the background in the reading field. Application: with unobstructed view of
the object without any surrounding objects protruding into the reading plane.
One object with bar code(s) only is inside the reading field during one reading pulse.
•Differential background: the distance profile of the reading field background is pro-
grammed (teach-in) in the CLV without any objects present. During the reading process,
the CLV then focuses on the object which it recognizes by comparing the actual distance profile to the distance profile of the background. Application: with unobstructed
view of the object restricted by other objects that protrude constantly into the reading
plane.
One object with barcode(s) only is inside the reading field during one reading pulse.
•Differential background and tracking: if several objects with different distances to the
CLV are positioned in the reading field at the same time (distance conflict), the CLV focuses on the object that is nearest to but has not exceed its internal focus switchover
point. Application: in OTS operation (applications with internal tracking or tracking by the
OTC 400 Omni Tracking Controller).
The distance profile of the background can also be displayed in the "CLV-Setup" program.
The autofocus range is defined by the aperture angle, the autofocus space, and (in the case
of line scanners with oscillating mirror) also by the angle of deflection. The park setting of
the focus position, from which the device focuses for each read, can be specified in addition
to a time and/or position-related delay (timeout or hysteresis). If necessary, an offset can
be defined for the focus position to be set by the measurement. The depth of field, which
radiates in the direction of the scan lines and is caused by the V-principle of the beam deflection, is optimized as a result (Fig. 3-3).
Measured distance
Optimum focus position:
measured distance plus offset for maximum
Depth of field (DOF)
Fig. 3-3: Optimization of the depth of field for the object
In autofocus mode and in combination with the OTS 400 Omni Tracking System the CLV can
also use the object height information from the OTS 400 or any other CLV transmitted via
the CAN bus.
3.2.2Event-controlled dynamic focus control
As an alternative to the autofocus function, the CLV can switch its focus position in response
to certain events and thus dynamically cover a large reading range. A maximum of eight
reading ranges can be defined as distance configurations for this purpose and approached
consecutively in reading mode (see Fig. 3-4).

Reading distance
The switch over takes place in response to changes in the object distance (with reads from
above: object height detection). The trigger source for the switchover can be:
•A signal combination at the "IN 0" to "IN 4" switching inputs, a command on the host
interface/terminal interface or the integrated timer (e. g. for search mode). Additional in
the case of the line scanner with oscillating mirror also the oscillating mirror reversal
points. The distance configurations are assigned to the switchover sequence by means
of a programmable assignment table.
•In combination with the OTS 400 Omni Tracking System:
Alternatively the object height information from the OTS 400 or any other CLV via the
CAN bus.
The distance measurement of the autofocus function can be additionally used to define the
distance configurations.
3.2.3Reading modes in stand-alone configuration
Start/stop mode
During the reading process, only one object is located in the reading field in start/stop
mode, i. e. all read bar codes can be clearly assigned to the object. As default, two reading
pulse sensors at the beginning and at the end of the reading field control the starting and
stopping of the reading process (Fig. 3-5). The size of the reading field is determined by the
distance between the two sensors. Alternatively, the reading process can be controlled with
