output signal (open collector).
• Avoid applying a load that exceeds the rating.
• Be sure to turn the power OFF before connecting or disconnecting a cable.
Connecting or disconnecting a cable while the power is ON may cause failure.
• Connect different cables from high-voltage or power cables to the product. If the
same cable or duct is used, electromagnetic induction may result, which may result in
malfunction or damage.
• Tighten the fixing screws at the torque specified in this manual.

3. Communication with Upper Equipment

• Check that the product has started up, and then start communication with upper
equipment.
• Indefinite signals may be generated from the upper interface while the product starts

Precautions for Correct Use

Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and adverse effects
on performance and equipment.

1. Installation location
„ The product must not be installed in a place:
• where ambient temperature is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where a rapid temperature change (dew condensation) occurs,
• where ambient humidity is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where direct vibration or shock may affect the product,
• where exposed to intense ambient light (laser, arc welding, or UV light),
• where exposed to direct sunlight or heat from heating appliances, and
• where a strong magnetic or electric field exists.

„ Because of the protection rating described in the manual, avoid using

locations containing:
• corrosive or combustible gases,
• dust, salt, or metallic powders,
• droplets, water mist, oil or chemical agents.

2. Power supply, connection, and wiring

• Be sure to use S8VS-01505 (made by OMRON) as a driving power supply.
• Do not install the product in a location where a high-voltage device is installed.
• Be sure to user the supplied insulation board to assure the noise resistance.
• After connecting the cables, check that the correct power supply is used, that there is
no load short-circuiting or other inappropriate connections, and that the load current is
correct before turning the power ON. Faulty wiring may be the cause of failure.
• Use a wrist strap or other similar device to avoid electrostatic charge when you touch
terminals and signal lines within a connector, and to avoid damage due to static
electricity.
• Try to keep the length of the power cable to a minimum (less than 3 m).

3. Labels
• For labels with a highly gloss surface, reading errors may occur because of regular
reflection of the LED light. If this occurs, provide a skew angle of 15° against the
label.

4. Cleaning of the reading window
• Install the product so that the front area of the reading window is free of dust and oil
droplets.
If dust or oil droplets are found, clean the surface using the following method.
• Blow large particles off using a blower brush (for camera lenses).
Do not blow using your own breath.
• Gently wipe off small particles using a soft cloth (lens wiper) moistened with a small
amount of alcohol. Avoid vigorous wiping. Scratches on the reading window may
result in reading errors.

• Installation condition: Pitch angle α = 0°, tilt angle γ = 0°, curvature R = ∞

Reading performance for bar codes on a highly gloss surface such as glossy paper or a card case
may be impaired because reflected illumination LED light or room illumination light enters the
reading window.
If reflected illumination LED light is the culprit, reading performance can be improved by providing
an angle of about 15° in the skew direction.

Introduction Procedure

Investigation into the reading timing

This reader uses the “trigger reading” system. Trigger reading uses the following trigger
input systems and reading operations.
Setting method p.71

Reading system Trigger reading

Reading is executed by applying a reading trigger from outside.
Section 2 Preparation

Trigger input method External trigger Reading starts when the external trigger signal is turned on. The
signal “Trigger controlled system” performs reading while the trigger is ON,
and the “Effective duration designation system” performs reading only
for the predetermined effective duration (*) that starts when the trigger
is ON.
RS-232C command Reading starts when the communication command is sent from the
upper equipment. After receiving the command, the reader performs
reading only for the effective duration (*) you have set beforehand.
Reading operation Single reading When the reading succeeds, the reader outputs the data and finishes
the reading operation.
Plural reading The reader reads codes continuously while the trigger is ON or for the
effective duration (*). When the first reading is completed, the data is
output once. While the reader is reading the same code continuously,
it outputs no data. The reader outputs data only when the new data
differs from that of the previous code.
Continuous reading The reader reads codes continuously while the trigger is ON or for the
effective duration (*). The reader outputs data even if it reads the same
code.

* Effective duration of reading

When the trigger input method is external trigger signal effective duration designation system or RS-232C
command, effective duration setting is required beforehand. The effective duration is set between 0 and 10
seconds.

„ How to create a menu sheet

Menu sheets use the CODE39 code system. However, the code used for this reader is
special as a space mark is used as the start and stop codes. (Normally “*”)
You can create a menu sheet using readily available code creation software, as shown
below.

E.g.: When creating a menu sheet “A3”

Create “* A3 *” and cut the parts of “*” with scissors to create the menu sheet “A3”.

Setting for the number of reading digits
When the number of reading digits is fixed, all codes having other lengths than that
specified can be rejected. Up to two reading digits can be set.
Section 4 Menu Sheet/Command List

This setting is effective for codes such as Interleaved 2 of 5 for which security against
partial reading is insufficient.
While the number of reading digits to be fixed can be set by reading the code, the
number of reading digits cannot be set with a command since a code of the necessary
length must be read.
• To read codes of a known length, it is recommended that the number of digits be fixed.
• While the number of reading digits to be fixed can be set by reading the code, it is not affected by a
detail setting (p.65) for reading codes, including “Transfer ST/SP”, “Not transfer ST/SP”, “Transfer C/
D” and “Not transfer C/D”.
• Fixing the number of reading digits does not affect WPC (JAN/EAN/UPC) or other fixed-length codes
and DataMatrix or other 2D codes.

E.g.: The following describes the steps for fixing the number of reading digits.

Setting for label registration

You should first register codes in the reader so that they are recognized as OK. This
function outputs the OK signal when the reader reads a code that matches one of the
registered codes and outputs the NG signal for a code that does not match any of those
codes.

Up to 5 codes can be registered.

Up to 123 bytes of a single set of data, and up to 250 bytes of data in total can be registered.

E.g.: The following describes the steps for registering labels.

Maximum data capacity

The maximum amount of data that can be stored in a 2D code varies with the symbol size.
In other words, if there is a large amount of data to be stored, then the symbol size must also be
large.
The maximum data capacity will also vary with the type of characters used. With a QR Code or
DataMatrix, the numeric capacity (numbers only) is larger than the alpha numeric capacity (numbers
and letters), which is in turn larger than the Japanese Kanji capacity.
The order and combinations of different characters also affects the data capacity.
