Use non-metallic nylon or equivalent screws. Power Supply The IS4813/IS4815 non-decode engines are powered from the host device through the 3.3V or 5V and GND pins of the engine’s 10-Pin ZIF connector. IS4823/IS4825 decode engine assemblies are powered from the host device through the 3.3V or 5V and GND pins of the 12-Pin ZIF connector on the decode board.
Flex Cables Note: To ensure optimum engine stability, use the flex cables shipped with the scan engine. The host flex cable is used to carry power and data signals between the engine and the host system. The flex cable should allow for a minimal voltage drop and maintain a good ground connection between the host and the engine.
Beam Clearance • Keep the scan engine’s beam sweep free from obstructions. For detailed information on the exit beam angle and location, please refer to Exit Beam Specifications on page 9. • A dark matte-finish on the internal walls of the housing can be utilized to avoid internal beam reflections.
Output Window Coatings • Anti-Reflection An anti-reflective coating can be applied to the inside and/or outside of the window to reduce the possibility of internal beam reflections interfering with the scan performance of the engine. If an anti- reflective coating is applied, it is recommended that it be on both sides of the window providing a 0.5% maximum reflectivity on each side from 640 to 690 nanometers at the nominal window tilt angle.

.49 mm 19.5 mil * For non-decode IS4813 and IS4815 engines, depth of field data is for reference only. Actual values may vary depending on environmental conditions, host hardware, and decoding software. Depth of field data was measured at 25°C under typical indoor lighting. Performance may vary depending on testing conditions.
A configurable time increment selected as the scanning laser–on time. Allow Full Laser-On Cycle The laser stays on for a full cycle even when a bar code is scanned and transmitted. Blinky Mode The scanner will blink for 60 cycles (approximately 30 seconds) once the scanning cycle is activated.
I/O level. Continuous Blinky Mode The scanner will continuously blink on and off, turning the scanning cycle on and off for all normal scanner operations. If a bar code is scanned and transmitted, the same symbol timeout is maintained throughout the cycle preventing additional scans of the same bar code when the scanner is in default mode.
Serial Configuration Mode The IS4823/IS4825 can be configured by scanning configuration bar codes the host device. With serial configuration, each command sent to the engine is the ASCII representation of each numeral in the configuration bar code (see [stx] and an ASCII [etx]. Do Not Include in the Command Example 1:...
Example 2: The following sample illustrates the serial command sequence for configuring the engine for the factory default settings, disabling Code 128 scanning, and adding a “G” as a configurable prefix. Commands for features that require sequences of multiple bar codes for activation (i.e. prefixes, suffixes, and timeout features) should be sent in the same order that they are normally scanned.

Timing Diagrams Startup Condition Timing Diagram The timing diagram below illustrates the correct power up procedure for the IS4813 and IS4815 engines. Scan Enable and Laser Enable are host driven signals. The Scan Enable and Laser Enable signals should be kept LOW (ON) at power up.
Scan Sense Timing Diagram The Scan Sense signal is a 50% duty cycle square wave with the transitions from HIGH to LOW indicating a change in the scan direction of the scanning beam (see Figure 22). Valid scan data occurs between the HIGH to LOW transitions.
Bar Code Element Time Calculation Realization of the full depth of field for all bar codes given in the specification is based on the ability of the decoding hardware to resolve a varying range of minimum element times. The minimum element time calculation for a given bar code size at a given distance is shown in Equation 1 (below).
