Safety information
Internal protective circuits
The CLX is equipped with monitoring circuits that deactivate the laser diode in the event of
a malfunction.
Activation and deactivation of the laser diode is controlled by the reading pulse trigger.
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
CLX 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

In the Percentage Evaluation mode and in the Free-running Reading mode the laser
diode is constantly activated.

The CLX 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 CLX derives useful diagnosis data from the reading process and can transfer it also 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 the reading process when an object is located in the reading field, the CLX requires
a suitable trigger. This opens an internal time window ("reading interval") in the CLX. 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: OTC trigger).
With small object distances (object distance < reading gate length) the bar code has to be
allocated to the right object with the help of the internal tracking of the CLX.
The current operating status is indicated by four LEDs.
If the trigger is supplied externally, the "Sensor" switchi ng in put instructs the CLX to sta rt th e
reading process. The five "IN 0 ... IN 4" switching inputs switch the focus position in
response to certain events, as an alternative to the autofocus function. The "IN 4” input can
also be assigned to special functions. The four "Result 1 ... Result 4" switching outputs can
be assigned to different functions alternativly for displaying the result status and also control
external devices, such as a PLC.
The CLX is operated and configured via the auxiliary interface (serial terminal interface) using
the CLV-Setup software or via the host interface/terminal interface using command strings.
System, warning, and error messages help you configure the device and locate the source
of errors during startup and reading mode.

Product description
3.2.1Autofocus function
The autofocus function enables the CLX to detect the distance of an object during the reading process, without the need for external sensors, and then adjust the focus position automatically to the reading plane of the bar code. In order to do so, the CLX 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 CLX 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 programmed (teach-in) in the CLX without any objects present. During the reading process,
the CLX then focuses on the object which it recognizes by comparing it to the distance
profile of the background. Application: with unobstructed view of the object restricted
by other objects that protrude 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 are
positioned in the reading field at the same time (distance conflict), the CLX focuses on
the object that is nearest to but has not exceed its internal focus switchover point.
Application: in OTS operation (applications with tracking by the OMNI Tracking Controller
OTC 400), or stand alone in internal tracking mode.
The distance profile of the background can also be displayed in the "CLV-Setup" program.
The reading field is defined by the autofocus range. 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 line and is caused by the V-principle of the beam deflection, is optimized as
a result (
Fig. 3-3
).
Fig. 3-3: Optimization the depth of field for the object
As an alternative to the autofocus function, the CLX 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
).

67
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 is a signal combination
at the "IN 0 ... IN 4" switching inputs, a command on the host interface/terminal interface or
the integrated timer (e. g. for search mode). The distance configurations are assigned to the
swichover sequence by means of a programmable assignment table. The distance measurement of the autofocus function can additionally be used to define the distance configurations.

3.2.3Additional components
Heater
The CLX can be permanently equipped with a heater for applications involving temperatures
up to max. –30 °C (e. g. in a freezer).
The design, technical data, and power-up behavior of the CLX are described in
Optional heating, Page 10-12
External parameter memory
The external parameter memory is located in a connector cover which, when mounted,
covers the two electrical terminals on the CLX (IP 65). The parameter memory saves you
time when a CLX is replaced locally by providing a copy of the current parameter set. In other
words, you do not have to configure the new device.

4.2.5Selecting the mounting location
When you select the mounting location, the distance between the CLX and the host and
between the CLX and the bar code are extremely important.
Distance between the CLX and the host
The CLX can be mounted at a maximum distance of 1 200 m from the host without a
connection to the SICK network or a bus. In practice, however, the distance depends on the
physical configuration of the host interface and the data transfer rate (see
Table 5-7,
Page 5-8).
Distance between the CLX and the AMV/S 60 Connection Module
The AMV/S 60 Connection Module should not be located further than 10 m from the CLX,
since the "CLV-Setup" program on the PC accesses the terminal interface (RS 232) of the
CLX via this module.
The CLX is used for reading omnidirectionally oriented bar codes on the lateral or upper
sides of objects.
Fig. 4-4
shows the basic alignment of the CLX.
Reading distance to the bar code
The distance between the reading window of the CLX and the bar code must not exceed
the technical limits. The height of the reading field is shown as a function of the reading
distance for various resolutions (module widths) in
data Compact OMNI Scanner, Page 10-2
Fig. 4-4
shows the definition of the reading distance a from the reading window.
.
Chapter 10.2.2 Reading performance
Fig. 4-4: Definition of the reading distance a to bar code and convoyer direction
Due to the X-principle of beam deflection, the reading field height (for evaluating the useful
length of the scan line) depends on the readling distance.
Angular alignment of the CLX
All possible reading angles that can occur between the scan line and the bar code must be
taken into consideration (

4.2.8Count direction of the code position CP
ExplanationThe CLX can scan and decode several bar codes with each read. In doing so, it determines
the specific local reading diagnosis data for each bar code the position (CP value) of the center of the bar code within the scan.
Fig. 4-6
shows the count direction of the code position. The count direction of the code po-
sition is marked by a cross in the reading window.
By determining this data, the device can separate identical bar codes (code type, code
length, and data content identical) and assign the bar code data in the reading result to its
position on the object.

4.3.2Adjusting the CLX
The CLX can be adjusted in Percentage Evaluation mode. In this mode, the CLX displays the
quality of the bar code reads that enter the CLX reading field statically (the object is not
moved on the conveyor belt). In the Free-running mode the CLX performs 100 scans and
evaluates the reading quality statistically. It then outputs the reading results every 2 s on the
terminal interface.
The behavior of the "Read Result" LED also indicates the reading quality. The LED does not
light up if the CLX cannot read the bar code (reading quality < 30 %). If the CLX is having
problems reading the bar code (reading quality 30 % ... 90 %), the LED blinks. The CLX is
aligned optimally when the LED lights up constantly (reading quality > 90 %). The scanning
frequency in the default setting is 800 Hz.

Fine adjustment:
11. Align the CLX in such a way that the angle between the scan line and the bars on the
bar code CLX is almost 90°.
12. To avoid interfering reflections, align the CLX reading window in parallel to the bar code
surface. Consider the positioning of the CLX in relation to the convoyer direction (see
Fig. 4-4, Page 4-4
).
13. If necessary, align the intersecting point of folded scanline exactly with the bar code.
14. Move objects carrying bar codes into the CLX reading field manually under realistic
conditions and check the reading result. If the objects are aligned randomly, or if the bar
code is located at different positions (angles), ensure that the limit values of the
permissible reading angles are not exceeded.
15. Adjust the CLX in such a way that the good read rate is between 70 ... 100 %.
With event-controlled dynamic focus control, for each defined reading range (distance
configuration), check the selected focus position and correct the parameter settings if
necessary (see

4.4.2Mounting the external reading pulse sensor
If the CLX is triggered by an external reading pulse sensor, the sensor must be mounted in
the vicinity of the CLX. The "Sensor" switching input is selected as the default trigger source
for this trigger type. The default debounce time of the input is 30 ms.
Depending on the application, you may need to mount the sensor in such a way that bar
codes on objects of different sizes can be read completely during the reading interval. The
exact position fo the external sensor in relation to the scanner can be seen in

4.4.3Mounting the sensors for detecting the object distance
If the dynamic focus control function of the CLX is triggered by external sensors, suitable
sensors must be mounted in the vicinity of the CLX.
Fig. 4-7
shows an example of a read
operation from above. The sensors must be arranged in such a way that all of the potential
object heights are classified uniquely and overlapping reading ranges occur that can be
formed with the depths of field of the CLX. A maximum of five switching inputs are available
for this purpose. A max. of 32 switching states for 8 distance configurations (reading ranges)
can be implemented using the internal assignment table (combinations). Photoelectric reflex
switches, for example, can be used to detect the object distance. In the default setting, all
five "IN 0 ... IN 4" switching inputs are selected for dynamic focus control.

6.4Configuring (parameterization) the CLX
The CLX adapts to the reading situation locally with the configuration. The read, evaluation
and output characteristics can, therefore, be parameterized as required on the basis of the
factory default settings or an application-specific CLX parameter set that has already been
created.
The CLX supports two different configuration methods:
•
Configuration via the "CLV-Setup" program
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
•
Configuration via command strings
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
Chapter 10.7 Configuring a CLX with command strings, Page 10-23
See
In the Parameterization mode, the CLX outputs no reading result.
6.4.1Configuring the CLX via the user interface of CLV-Setup
To be able to use CLV-Setup, a PC has to be connected and the program installed on it. The
procedure for connecting the PC to the CLX is described in
PC, Page 5-15

Chapter 10.6 In-
Transferring a parameter set between CLV-Setup and the CLX
When the CLX is being paramete rized, CL V-Setup runs in the offline mode. To be able to modify the current parameter set of the CLX, this first has to be loaded to CLV-Setup from the
CLX. This procedure is referred to as an upload (upload from CLX) during which CLV-Setup
always loads a complete copy of the current CLX parameter set. This parameter set remains
unchanged until it is overwritten by CLV-Setup. With the help of the context menu (right
mouse button), only the parameter just edited can be loaded (upload parameter) from the
CLX’s memory (RAM).
Changes made to the current parameter set in CLV-Setup do not take effect until the parameter set has been transferred to the CLX. CLV-Setup always sends a copy of the complete
parameter set to the CLX, i. e. all of the existing parameter values in the CLX are overwritten.
The procedure for transferring and saving the parameter values in the CLX is referred to as
a download (download to CLX). With the help of the context menu (right mouse button), only
the parameter just edited will be temporarily loaded (download parameter) into the CLX’s
memory (RAM).
Loading a complete CLX parameter set (upload)
¾
Click in the toolbar.
CLV-Setup loads the current CLX parameter set from the RAM of the CLX to its database and displays the values in the tabs.
The "Device Ready" LED is extinguished during the upload.
If the "CLV-Setup" program does not recognize parameters transferred during the upload, it
outputs a warning message. Unknown parameters can be edited in the E
wing the conventions for command strings. When the parameter set is then saved, these
parameters are also saved.

6.5.5Reading diagnosis
Function of the terminal interface. In this mode, the CLX outputs the data contents of all
the bar codes that were read – including those that, according to the evaluation criteria,
were not read properly and were thus incorrect – together with the associated reading diagnosis data via the terminal interface. The number of bar codes output can, therefore, be
higher than the number of those that were sent via the host interface in the reading result.
In the default setting, this mode is selected for the terminal interface.

Function of the terminal interface. In this mode, the CLX accepts a bar code entered at the
terminal interface (via the keyboard or handheld scanner with decoder). It sends the bar
code to the host in a separate data string via its host interface. No reads can, therefore, be
corrected by transmitting missing bar codes subsequently.

Maintenance
7.1Cleaning the CLX during operation
To ensure optimum reading performance, the reading window of the CLX must be clean at
all times. For this reason, we recommend that you check the reading window at regular
intervals, particularly if the device is operated under extreme conditions (dust, abrasion,
humidity, finger prints).
Laser beam can cause blindness!
The CLX uses a class 2 red-light laser. Looking directly at the laser beam can seriously
damage your eyesight.
¾
Never look directly into the path of the beam (similar to sunlight).
¾
Never look directly into the reading window while the device is in operation.
¾
Switch off the device while it is being cleaned.
Damage on the reading window!
The reading window is made of glass. Scratches and streaks on the window will reduce the
reading performance.
¾
Use a mild, non-scouring detergent.
¾
Never use scratching or scouring motions to clean the reading window.
Cleaning the reading window:
¾
Clean the reading window at regular intervals with a mild, non-scouring detergent, e. g.
an antistatic glass cleaning fluid.
lint-free cloth.
¾
If necessary, clean the LEDs on the rear of the device.
If an external reading pulse generator and/or object-height detection sensors are used
(e. g. photoelectric reflex switches), make sure to clean the relevant optical surfaces
Contamination on these surfaces can cause switching errors.
Clean here
7.2Maintenance
The CLX does not require any maintenance. Its self-monitoring functions ensure fault-free
operation over long periods of time.
Any faults or malfunctions are displayed on the terminal interface. The messages can be
displayed on the screen in the extended mode of the Terminal Emulator in the CLV-Setup
program. See
Chapter 8.2 Monitoring error and malfunctions, Page 8-1
.
7.3Disposal
Irreparable devices or devices that are no longer required must be disposed of in an
environmentally-friendly manner:
1.Always observe the applicable national waste disposal regulations.
2. Remove the CLX housing.
3.Remove the electronic modules.
4.Remove the glass panel from the reading window and send it to be recycled.
5.Send the chassis and cover (aluminium) to be recycled.
6.Send the electronic modules for disposal as problem waste.
At present, SICK AG does not accept any unusable or irreparable devices.

8.2Monitoring error and malfunctions
The CLX is self-monitoring:
•
After the power supply has been switched on, the CLX automatically carries out a selftest, in which it checks important hardware components, before it is initialized (parameter set loaded and device functions initialized). The self-test can be repeated at any
time by cancelling Reading mode. See
•
If the CLX detects an error during the self-test or at any other time, it outputs the error
status ST=3 on the host interface. Prerequisite: the error status is enabled for transmission. This is enabled by default. The CLX displays the diagnosed error as a numeric
combination on the terminal interface (see
•
While it is in operation, the CLX constantly monitors the laser diode and speed of the
polygon mirror wheel. In addition, a watchdog circuit responds to error statuses. The
CLX carries out distance measurement referencing at regular cycles. To do so, the laser
diode is switched on for max. 10 s.
•
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 CLX outputs the message:
The reading interval must be terminated by resetting the trigger signal. The laser diode
is activated again by the next reading trigger.

8.5.1General malfunctions: CLX not ready
Malfunction Possible cause Remedy
The "Device Ready" LED is not
lit.
The "Result 1" output is not outputting a pulse
(default setting: Device Ready)
After switching on the power
supply:
•
The CLX has no power
•
The CLX has diagnosed a
device error during the selftest
•
Check wiring (power connector fitted securely to the
AMV/S 60 Connection
Module).

pin 5.
•
Switch CLX off and on again.
Does the LED light up? If not,
contact SICK Service department
During operation:
•
The CLX is not in "Reading"
mode
•
The CLX has deactivated the
laser diode 10 min. (default
setting) after the start of the
current reading pulse (Trigger
