    LASER SAFETY The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS6400 reader. Standard Regulations This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun.

    2.3.1 Main/Aux. Serial Interface and I/O Connector The DS6400 master/slave model is equipped with a 25-pin male D-sub connector for connection to the host computer, power supply and input/output signals. The DS6400 fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet, Profibus) adopt a 26-pin male connector instead of the 25-pin one.

  • Page 30: Main Interface

    The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices. If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the DS6400 activates the RTS output to indicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must activate the CTS input to enable the transmission.

If this output is continuously driven, the maximum current must be not more than 200 mA although more than 300 mA may be reached in pulse conditions for an ambient temperature of 25°C.

  • Page 38: Lonworks Connectors

    The use of these system circuits is not required in all the operating modes (see par. 2.7 for details). Anyway, for a correct system functioning it is suggested to use Datalogic cables and accessories and follow the description of the typical layout (see par. 2.7 for details).

  • Page 39: Lonworks Interface

    The Lonworks network is used for both input and output connection to build a multi-sided or omni-station system connecting several readers. The DS6400 master usually employs the 9-pin female connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 9-pin male one is terminated by inserting the BTK6000 terminator (see par.

    Step-a-Head™ makes it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base independently from each other. As a result of the Step-a-Head™, the DS6400 can always be installed in the ideal position. It is possible to change the orientation of the connector panel while the laser window remains in the desired position.
  • Page 104 Code Positioning Variation in code placement that affects the ability of a scanner to read a code. The terms Pitch, Skew, and Tilt deal with the angular variations of code positioning in the X, Y and Z axes. See pars. 2.5. Variations in code placement affect the pulse width and therefore the decoding of the code.
