  • Page 5: Notes On This Document

    Information content This document contains all the information required for the installation, electrical installation and startup of the bar code reader CLP 100 with the default setting in our works. All actions are described step-by-step. Parameterization of the CLP 100 for the application-specific reading configuration is carried out with the CLP Setup user interface.

  • Page 6: Intended Use

    The CLP 100 transmits the decoded bar code information via its host interface to a host computer for further processing. The user forfeits any warranty claims against SICK AG in case of any other use as well as in case of changes to the device, also during device installation and electrical installation .

  • Page 7: Environmental Information

    CLP 100 Bar Code Reader Environmental information The CLP 100 is designed so that it harms the environment as little as possible. It does not contain or emit any substances harmful to the environment and is not a source of faults for, for example, coating wetting in paint shops.

  • Page 12: Tab. 4-1: Permissible Angle Occurring Between The Scan Line And The Bar Code Bars

    CLP 100 Bar Code Reader Angle alignment of the CLP 100 The optimum alignment of the CLP 100 is reached at an angle of 90° between the scan line and the bar code bars (refer to Figure 4-3). Possible reading angles which can arise between the scan line and the bar code bars must be taken into consideration (refer to Figure 4-4 and Table 4-1).

  • Page 13: Installation And Adjustment Of The Device

    Installation and adjustment of the device 4.3.1 Installing the CLP 100 1. Align the CLP 100 so that the angle between the scan line and the bar code bars amounts to 90°. Take any possible reading angle occurring into consideration (refer to Figure 4-4).

    LED extinguishes if the reading process fails ("No Read"). If the green LED does not light up, the CLP 100 cannot read the bar code. If the green LED flickers, the CLP 100 can only read the bar code badly. If the green LED shows steady light, the CLP 100 is aligned optimally.

    • Parameterizing of the CLP 100 with the CLP Setup software or with command strings. Default setting Table 6-1 shows an overview of the default setting of our works for the CLP 100. The parameters in the default setting are selected so that the CLP 100 can be used directly for many applications in this configuration.

  • Page 20: Quick-Start

    Tab. 6-1: Default setting of the parameters of the CLP 100 If the CLP 100 is connected to a PC, the current parameters can be changed by using the CLP Setup software. The parameter set of the default setting is saved in the CLP Setup and in the CLP 100 and can be re-activated at any time.

    (matchcode). The matchcode function allows the comparison of the read bar codes with a code which is entered at the CLP 100. It is possible to select between complete or partial matching of the codes.
  • Page 22 Click on in the CLP Setup toolbar. CLP Setup copies the parameter set last saved in the CLP 100 from the CLP 100 into its database and displays its values in the tab cards. If the CLP Setup software does not recognize the loaded parameters during uploading, a warning is emited.
