Scan Assembly

Introduction

The RS409 ring scanner is a modular, wearable laser scanner that allows the operator hands-free bar code scanning capability. The scanner is used with the WT4070/90 wearable terminal.

The RS409 is worn on the operator’s index finger, and utilizes a thumb-operated trigger. The RS409 connects via an interface cable to the wearable terminal, which provides power and performs the data collection functions. The RS409 is available in two configurations; a short cable version for connection to a wrist mounted wearable terminal, and a long cable version for connection to a hip mounted wearable terminal.

Changing Trigger Position

The trigger assembly of the RS409 rotates to provide left-hand or right-hand use.

1. Determine whether the RS409 is used on the right or left hand.

CAUTION The trigger assembly only rotates 180° around the back of the

scan assembly. Do not rotate the trigger assembly past the designed stops.

2. Rotate the trigger assembly so that the scan trigger is positioned next to the

thumb when the RS409 is placed on the index finger.

Using the Scanner

To scan bar codes:

1. Turn on the wearable terminal.

2. Launch a scanning application.

3. Press the scan trigger and aim the RS409 at a bar code.

The scan LED lights red to indicate the RS409 is on.

4. Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers the entire length of the

bar code.

5. If the decode is successful the LED turns green. The terminal beeps if

programed accordingly.

Scanning Tips

• For larger bar codes, hold the RS409 farther away from the bar code.

• For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold the RS409 closer to the bar code.

• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density, but 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches) generally works. Practice to determine what distances to work within.

• Do not position the RS409 exactly perpendicular to the bar code being scanned. In this position, reflected light can bounce back into the exit window, and possibly prevent a successful decode.

Finger Strap Assembly Replacement

The finger strap assembly can be changed for each user or for replacement. To replace the finger strap assembly:

1. Press down on the finger strap assembly release tab.

2. Slide the finger strap assembly out of the trigger assembly.

3. Align a new finger strap assembly with the slot in the trigger assembly.

4. Push the finger strap assembly into the trigger assembly until the release tab

clicks into place.

5. Insert your index finger through the finger strap. Tighten the strap and press

the hook and pile together.

6. If required, cut excess finger strap material.

1. Remove the finger strap assembly.

2. Turn the RS409 upside-down.

3. Remove the set screw with screwdriver.

4. Turn the trigger assembly counter-clockwise until the exit window and scan

trigger align.

5. Lift the trigger assembly off the scan assembly.

6. Align replacement trigger assembly with scan assembly.

7. Rotate trigger assembly 1/4 turn clockwise.

8. Tighten the set screw with screwdriver.

9. Replace finger strap assembly.
