Preface

PS705 is a high performance, multi-interface, and omni-directional scanner.
The unit comes with powerful reading sensitivity which allows hands-free bar
code scanning. Bar code labels are read by presenting the label towards the
scanner. Scanning labels with PS705 hardly requires any arm movement.

PS705 reads all popular bar code symbologies. An important feature of PS705
is its auto-sense mode. If the scanner is not used within a programmable
period of time, the scanner switches off automatically. The scanner can be
reactivated by placing a barcode towards the window of the PS705.

PS705 is designed with a specific size for all kinds of store applications and
ideal to use in check out services.

Features

Integrability

The compact design allows the unit to be mounted with ease on a host system
with minimum space requirement.

Quality and Durability

 The components are of top quality and the case is solid, moist and dust

resistant. All of these secure a long and service free operation time.

 Durable characteristic with IP42 rating and drop resistance.(with cable).
 Automatic sleep and wake-up mode which saves power and improves life

time.

Flexibility and Connectivity

The multiple connection interfaces (RS232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, and
Powered USB) allow the unit to communicate with the host system with
considerable flexibility.

Decoding Capability

 The barcode decoding capability is up-to-date, including GS1 DataBar and

all major 1D barcode symbologies.

 The STAR reconstruction software enables the reading of fragmented and

damaged barcodes.

1.1 LASER SAFETY

English:

PS705 scanner complies with safety standard IEC60825-1 (2001) for a Class I
laser product. It also complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class
IIa laser product. Avoid long term viewing of direct laser light.

Optical:

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses
but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.

Radiant Energy:

PS705 uses a low-power laser diode operating at 650 nm in an opto­mechanical scanner resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power. Laser
light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the window through a 7 mm (0.28 in.)
aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 µW per CDRH
Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the
scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8 mW could be
accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewer:

The scanner window is the only aperture through which laser light may be
observed on this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode
continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for
safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If,
however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be
disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments:

Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove
the scanner’s protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

WARNING!

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous laser light exposure.
