Optics and Lighting Internal Lighting This section describes the working mechanism of the built-in lighting of DataMan 50, 60, 70, 150, 260, 503 and DataMan 300, 360, 370, and 470 series readers. DataMan 50 and 60 Internal Lighting All DataMan 50 and 60 readers include built-in (internal) lighting. During operation, the DataMan 50 and 60 automatically regulate image exposure time and imager gain to produce usable image quality at the highest possible frame rate.
Page 128
Optics and Lighting Tuning By tuning, your DataMan 300, DataMan 360, DataMan 370, and DataMan 470 series reader automatically selects the best settings for the given reading situation, based on parameters of illumination, camera and decoder properties, and focal distance. Use this feature to create an optimum setting to read your DataMatrix codes. Note: Tune button can toggle the aimer light ON and OFF.
Optics and Lighting External Lighting This section details the external lighting options for DataMan 50, 60, 503 and DataMan 300, 360, 370, and 470 series readers. DataMan 50 and 60 External Lighting The DataMan 50 and 60 readers have a dedicated output for external light control. In addition, the DataMan 60 has an external illumination connector on the front side of the reader.
Optics and Lighting DataMan 50 and 60 External Load Strobe Output The following image shows the external load strobe output for the DataMan 50. The DataMan 60 has the same characteristics. DataMan 300, 360, 370, and 470 Series Readers External Lighting On the back of the reader, there is a socket dedicated to external light control (1, 2, 3, and 4 in the following image).

Optics and Lighting You can control the intensity output of the external illumination connector if the external illumination you use supports this control. In the DataMan Setup Tool, go to the Optimize Image pane and check the External checkbox. You can also choose your light type from the drop-down box below.

Operations Guide Operations Guide This section contains information about configuring and using your DataMan reader. Trigger Modes The fixed-mount DataMan readers provide the following trigger modes: Self-Trigger DataMan fixed-mount readers support self-triggered operation. In self-trigger mode, the reader automatically detects and decodes codes in its field of view.
Operations Guide Presentation mode is similar to manual trigger mode, without using the trigger as a signal to start acquisition. Package Detection Support You can connect your package detection sensor to one of the digital inputs of your DataMan reader. When the reader receives a signal that a package is detected, images that the reader collected are not discarded at the end of the trigger.
Operations Guide Check Automatic Triggering, and the reader will simulate external triggers at the interval that you specify. This allows you to examine the result of each trigger and images with the configuration used in production but at a slower rate. Because inputs and outputs are disabled, the reader will not interfere with the normal operation of your line.
Operations Guide No images. No-read images. (Images where the reader was triggered but either no code was present or the code could not be decoded.) Images where a code was successfully decoded. All images. If you select all images or no-read images, you can specify a sampling rate to control the number of images that are buffered.
Operations Guide Primary Reader Within a group, one reader is defined as the primary reader. When the primary reader is triggered (regardless of what type of trigger it uses), all the readers in the group are also triggered. For self-trigger mode, you must designate the primary reader explicitly.
Page 140
Operations Guide Note: This and other imager settings will not get synchronized by this mechanism - for example, you must configure exposure and gain on each reader individually. This feature only synchronizes the actual image acquisition, triggering happens through the existing multi-reader sync mechanism.
Page 141
Operations Guide Connecting the DataMan 503 Through the Synchronized Acquisition Cable Plug the synchronized acquisition cable into the dedicated connector on the DataMan 503. If you are connecting more than two DataMan 503 devices, you need a Y connector with female ends to be able to use the synchronized acquisition cables.
Operations Guide Using C/CS-Mount Lenses Aperture Setting Because of the extreme sensitivity of the DataMan image sensor, for most applications, a small aperture (F8 or less) provides sufficient light for full-rate image processing while also maximizing depth of field. Selecting Optimum Focus You can enter live video, but for best focus optimization, place the reader in automatic trigger mode and adjust the focus until the peak read rate is obtained.
Operations Guide Reducing DataMan Processing Requirements The more information that you can provide to DataMan about your application, the less work – and processing time – will be required to decode symbols. Only enable the symbologies that your application uses. Disabling unused symbologies reduces processing time.
Application Guide Application Guide This section provides specific recommendations tailored to specific types of applications. Except for the sections about Multi-Reader Configurations and Variable Size Box Conveyer, all sections apply to all the DataMan fixed-mount readers. Understanding Your Application Envelope A wide variety of factors affects the performance and capabilities of the DataMan in a given application.
Application Guide Parameter Description The degree to which a code may be rotated, tilted, or pitched with respect to a Tilt, pitch, rotation, and package plane perpendicular to the DataMan optical axis. spacing Package spacing means a distance in time. If you use a conveyor that moves very fast, you need more space between the boxes.
Application Guide The following table lists typical values for this application: Parameter Typical Values Line speed 50 FPM Nominal working distance 6-12" Working distance range +/- 5" Working width 6" Tilt, pitch, and rotation +/- 2° Code module size 20 Mil Codes per minute 20-30 Trigger and output signals...
