16° Skew Positioning
The DS6400 scanner is mounted on the ST-237 106° mounting bracket which guarantees a built-in Skew angle
(S in the figure below) of 16° with respect to the frame plane (typically the Skew angle should be between 10° -
20°). This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the scanner. Furthermore, the bracket guides
allow adjusting the Tilt angle (T in the figure below, which is typically 0°) for the best scanner orientation:
45° Skew Positioning
The DS6400 scanner is mounted on the ST-210 90° mounting bracket. By adjusting the mounting bracket guides,
reach 45° for the Skew angle (S in the figure below) to avoid the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the
scanner:
If using the 45° Skew installation, the scanner reading performance is not guaranteed to
match that measured for the standard installation with Skew angle between 10° - 20° (see
reading diagrams).
CAUTION
The ST-210 mounting bracket is an accessory of the DS6400 standard model available in
the US-60 kit (890001020).
NOTE
When installing several scanners, take care to position them correctly so that no laser beam
enters the reading window perpendicularly and at the same level of the output beam of the
other scanners. This condition could occur more frequently for side mounted applications. If
these precautions are not followed, it may occur that the laser of the blinded scanner starts
blinking due to an internal circuit which temporarily turns the laser off when detecting a
WARNING power anomaly. To resolve this problem, it is sufficient to slightly change the inclination and
position of one of the two scanners involved.
