Chapter 2 Operating Instructions
Safety information
CLV62x Bar Code Scanner
2.2 Intended use
The CLV62x Bar Code Scanner is an intelligent sensor for the automatic recognition and decoding of bar codes on objects e.g. in a conveyor system.
The intended use of the bar code system results from the following description of the function:
• In a reading station, the bar code scanner is installed in a holder, either on the side of
a conveyor system (side reading) or above it (reading from above).
• The bar code scanner transfers the reading data via the host interface to a superordi-
nate host computer for further processing.
• The bar code scanner is configured/operated using the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware that runs on a standard client PC provided by the customer. Communication takes
place using RS-232 or Ethernet.
Important Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in the case changes to the bar
code scanner, such as opening the housing, this includes modifications during installation
and electrical installation or changes to the SICK software.
The bar code scanner is only to be operated in ambient air temperature limit.
2.3 General safety precautions and protection measures
¾ Read the general safety precautions thoroughly and observe them during all bar code
scanner activities. Also observe the warning notices above the operational instructions
of each chapter.
2.3.1 Electrical installation work
Risk of injuries due to electrical current!
The optional power supply module CMP400/CMP490 is connected to the power supply
(100 ... 250 V AC/50 ... 60 Hz) in connection module CDM420.
¾ Observe current safety regulations when working with electrical equipment.
Important Electrical installation should only be carried out by qualified staff.
Connect or release current linkages only under de-energised conditions.
Wire cross sections and their correct shields have to be selected and implemented according to valid engineering standards.

Safety information
2.3.2 Laser radiation of the bar code scanner
Outlet opening
Fig. 2-1: Outlet opening of the laser radiation at the reading window (shown here: Ethernet
version)
Damage to the eyes through laser radiation!
The bar code scanner operates with an red light laser of class 2. Looking at the laser's light path for a longer period of time can damage the eye's retina.
The entire reading window is the LED radiation outlet opening.
Caution - use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
¾ Never look directly into the light path (similar to sun light).
¾ Never direct the device's laser beam at the eyes of persons.
¾ When installing and aligning the bar code scanner, avoid laser beam reflections from
reflective surfaces.
¾ Do not open the housing. (Opening does not interrupt the activation of the laser diode
by the reading pulsing.)
¾ Always observe the latest valid version of laser protection regulations.
Important Bar code scanners in series CLV62x operate with a laser of wavelength λ = 655 nm (red
light). The radiation emitted is not harmful 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 (see the warning sign on the device for the date of publication)
Maintenance is not required to ensure compliance with laser class 2.
The bar code scanner displays a black and yellow laser warning sign.

Important If the bar code scanner is installed in a machine/panelling in such a way that the bar code
scanner's laser warning sign is hidden, additional warning signs in the same language (not
included in delivery) have to be attached to the machine next to the outlet opening of the
laser radiation!
The bar code scanner works as follows in controlling the laser diodes:
• The bar code scanner has monitoring switches that deactivate the laser diode if irreg-
ularities occur in the radiation emission.
• The reading pulse (pulse source) controls the on and off mechanism of the laser diode
during the reading process.
• During reading operation with "Sensor" and "Command" reading pulses, each time level
(laser timeout) switches off the laser diode automatically after 10 minutes (default settings) when a permanent reading pulse has been started. However, it does not stop the
reading pulse.
The reading pulse can be stopped via an appropriate clock signal. The successive reading pulse switches on the laser diode.
• In SOPAS-ET on the "Illumination control" tab you can set or deactivate the laser timeout
within a range of 1 ... 1,500 min (= 25h).

CLV62x Bar Code Scanner
Safety information
• "Laser" LED:
During normal reading operation the "Laser" LED lights up when the laser diode is
switched on.
When calling up functions via the two buttons of the bar code scanner (aborting normal
reading operation), the LEDs have got additional display functions. The "Laser" LED will
differ from its original function. It is possible that the "Laser" LED is flashing when Autosetup is selected, although the laser diode is still switched off or the laser diode is
switched on, for example, in diagnostic mode (Read Diagn) and the "Laser" LED, however, is not flashing.
2.4 Quick stop and quick restart
The bar code scanner can be switched on or off using the main switch for connection modules CDB620 or CDM420.
2.4.1 Switching off the bar code scanner
¾ Switch off the power supply to the bar code scanner (the connection module)
- or -

4.6 Bar code scanner methods of operation
The CLV62x Bar Code Scanner is an intelligent sensor system for automatic and non-contact detection and decoding of bar codes. In principle, the codes can be detected on any
side of still or moving objects in a conveyor system (single-side reading).
Several bar code scanners can be combined to allow detection of several sides in one passage (multi-side reading).
The bar code scanner creates a scanning line (line scanner) to recognise the codes. In the
raster scanner version, the bar code scanner creates eight scanning lines that are moved
parallel to each other.
Th e leng th of the s cann ing li ne th at is used for the evaluation (reading area height) depends
on the reading distance because of the V-shaped light exit.
The light pattern that is reflected by the bar code is recorded, processed and decoded. To
control this process, external sensors deliver information via the reading pulse, the object
distance and the conveyor speed (increment). The reading results are output to the bar
code scanner's data interfaces and forwarded to a host/PC.

4.6.1 Reading configuration
The bar code scanner detects bar codes with an adjustable scan frequency.
The bar code scanner can detect codes on still and moving objects.
For more rapid evaluation, the reading range of the scanning line (reading angle: RA value)
can be restricted.
Note
The SOPAS-ET configuration software can, among other things, be used to configure the
reading angle and the symbol contrast:

Product description
CLV62x Bar Code Scanner
4.6.2 Object trigger control
In order to start an object-related reading process, the bar code scanner requires an appropriate external signal (trigger source) for reporting an object in the reading area. The start
signal is emitted via an external reading pulse sensor (e. g. photoelectric reflex switch) as
standard. As soon as an object has passed the reading pulse sensor, a time window opens
in the bar code scanner (“reading gate“) for the reading process.
Alternatively, a command activates the reading process via a data interface or the CAN-SENSOR network. In Automatic Cycle mode, the actual bar code scanner generates the reading
gate internally with an adjustable mark-space ratio.
The reading pulse can be ended in a number of ways: With external triggering by the reading
pulse source or a command, internally by a timer or an evaluation condition to be met.
Note
The trigger source can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software:

4.6.3 Increment configuration
The bar code scanner receives information about the conveyor speed from an external incremental encoder, for example. The incremental encoder delivers pulses which are used
to determine the current conveyor speed.
The conveyor speed results from the number of impulses and the resolution of the external
incremental encoder.
Note

4.6.5 Reading operation mode
There is only one object in the reading field during start/stop operation, i.e. all the read
codes should be unambiguously assigned to the object. The start and stop of the reading
process control one/two reading pulse sensors at the beginning and at the end of the reading field as standard. The distance between each sensor is determined by the size of the
reading field. The reading process can be alternatively controlled with command strings via
the data interface. The output of the reading results is carried out either at the end of the
reading pulse (the rear edge of the object has left the end of the reading field) or during the
reading pulse if certain configurable conditions have been fulfilled.
