3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Handling
Proper handling ensures that the ABR will function correctly.
The ABR is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is built to withstand vibration and shock when correctly
installed. However, it is also a precision product and before and during installation it must be handled properly to avoid
damage.
•
Do not drop the device (exceeding shock limits)
•
Do not fine tune the positioning by striking the device or the bracket
•
Do not weld the device into position; this can cause electrostatic, heat, or reading window damage
•
Do not spray paint near the reader; this can cause reading window damage
3.2 Set the Focus
The reader is factory-calibrated at three focus positions (45 mm, 70 mm, and 125 mm for WVGA models; 45 mm, 80 mm,
and 125 mm for 1.2 MP models). The focus range is continuous to provide fine-tuning for your application. This means you
can select a focus position different than these three positions.
1. Determine the focus position needed for your application. The following tables show the reading ranges at the three
focus positions for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) 10 mil resolution codes.

2. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, rotate the focus ring at the back of the reader to one of the three pre-calibrated distances
or to the desired distanced according to your application.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the focus ring beyond the focus scale limits; damage to the focus
mechanism can occur.
Refer to the Reading Diagrams in
focus positions for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) codes.
3.3 Mount the Reader
Note: Mount the device at a 10° to 15° angle from the target to avoid direct reflections.
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten
the mounting screws at this time.
