LASER SAFETY The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS2100 scanner. 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.
(7 mW at 630 to 680 nm). POWER SUPPLY - Models DS2100-X0XX, DS2100-X1XX: This accessory device is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit with «Class 2» or LPS power source which supplies power directly to the scanner via the 25-pin connector.
1 GENERAL FEATURES 1.1 INTRODUCTION The DS2100 laser scanner satisfies the most advanced needs of a wide range of users. It has been developed focusing on the realistic requirements of its target market. The outstanding result is an extremely compact, cost- effective and easy to use industrial scanner.

• code verifier • low power consumption. The DS2100 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.
DATALOGIC DS2100 1.3 AVAILABLE MODELS The DS2100 scanner is available in versions that differ in regard to the following parameters: • Resolution • Interface module and termination of the cable • Linear or raster models • Performance The following models are therefore available:...

DATALOGIC 2.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION DS2100 can be installed to operate in different positions. The four screw holes (M4 x 5) on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (Figure A, ). The diagrams below give the overall dimensions of the scanner and mounting bracket and may be used for installation.
DS2100 2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Several DS2100 models are equipped with a cable terminated by a 25-pin female D-sub connector for connection to the power supply and input/output signals. The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table: Figure 2.3 - 25-pin female D-sub connector...
DS2100 DATALOGIC Some DS2100 models are equipped with a 9-pin female connector. The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table: 9-pin connector pinout Name Function Power supply input voltage + Power supply input voltage - EXT TRIG+ External Trigger +...
2.3.2 Main Serial Interface The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the input/output connector of DS2100 depending on the DS2100 model (see par. 1.3). If the interface type is not compatible with the current communication handshaking, then the system forces the handshake to none.
IDLE IDLE Figure 2.7 - RS232 control signals If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the DS2100 activates the RTS232 output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the CTS232 input to enable the transmission.
It can be used in a master/slave layout or for Multidrop connections with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.5.4 and 2.5.5) exploiting a proprietary protocol based on polled mode called MUX32 protocol, where a master device polls slave devices to collect data.
Page 21
In a Multiplexer layout or for slaves, the Multidrop address must also be set via serial channel by the WinHost utility or by ESC sequences. Figure 2.10 shows a multidrop configuration with DS2100 scanners connected to a Multiplexer. 120 Ohm...
20 mA Current Loop Interface (optional) 20 mA C.L. communication is available as an optional interface board for all models except DS2100-X3X0. The DS2100 only supports passive type current loop connections. The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used:...
The RTSAUX and CTSAUX signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices. If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the DS2100 activates the RTSAUX output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the CTSAUX input to enable the transmission.
By default, OUT1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code signalled by the external trigger is not decoded, and OUT2 is associated with the Right event, which activates when the code is correctly decoded. DS2100 25-pin DS2100 25-pin USER INTERFACE Vext 40 Vdc max...
DATALOGIC DS2100 2.4 POSITIONING The DS2100 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the DS2100 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°.

Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each DS2100 transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.
9 slaves connected together. The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each slave DS2100 transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the Master.
DATALOGIC DS2100 2.5.4 RS485 Master/Slave The RS485 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several scanners to build a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 5 slaves connected together. The slave scanners are connected together using RS485 half-duplex on the main serial interface.
DS2100 DATALOGIC NOTE The auxiliary serial interface of the slave scanners can be used in Local Echo communication mode to control any single scanner (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the Winhost utility or Host Mode programming procedure.
DATALOGIC DS2100 3 READING FEATURES The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2100 and therefore the decoding capability is influenced by the following parameters: • number of scans per second • code motion speed • label dimensions •...
