Datalogic Scanning DS4600A - Manual (Page 14)

DS4600A
1
The DS4600A scanner uses a solid state laser diode as a light source; the light
emitted has a wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section "Safety
Precautions" at the beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
The reader is contained in a rugged aluminum housing; the mechanical dimensions
are 101 x 83.5 x 42 mm and it weighs about 615 g.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, therefore the reader is particularly
suitable for industrial environments where high protection against harsh external
conditions is required.
Electrical connection is provided through a cable on the side of the reader; this cable
is terminated with a 25-pin connector (see Figure A, 1).
The laser beam output window is on the right hand side of the scanner (Figure A, 2).
A security system allows the laser to activate only once the motor has reached the
correct rotational speed; consequently the laser beam is generated after a slight
delay from the power on of the scanner.
1.1.1 Indicators
The four LEDs on the left hand side of the scanner indicate the following:
READY (red), indicates the reader is connected to the power supply and the
startup was successful. If the startup is not successful, this LED
blinks. (Figure A, 9).
GOOD READ (red), is used to signal successful barcode decoding. It is also used
in Test mode to signal the decoding percentage (for details refer to
the WinHost Help On Line). (Figure A, 8).
EXT TRIG (yellow), indicates external trigger activity (for details refer to
par. 2.3.4. (Figure A, 7).
TX DATA (green), indicates data transmission on the main serial output line.
(Figure A, 6).
The screw holes on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (Figure A, 5);
the screw holes shown in Figure A, 3 are to attach accessories such as the optional
90° mirror.
