  • Page 15: Handling Precautions

    Example of a Mounted Design and an Unmounted Design with an EA11 Imager Handling Precautions While working with the ED40, make sure that it is protected from dust and humidity. Integrated circuits on the printed circuit board (PCB) are very sensitive to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

  • Page 19: Ribbon Cable Connecting The Decode Board To The Host

    Ribbon Cable From the ED40 Decode Board to the Host: This illustration shows the top view and side view of the ribbon cable from the ED40 decode board to the host. Intermec recommends that you specify the resistance for the PIN 1 (Vcc) and PIN 7 (GND) conductors to be less than 0.1 ohm.

  • Page 20: Connecting The Ribbon Cable

    Chapter 2 — Mechanical Integration The voltage at the ED40 contacts must be at least 3.0V. At any lower voltage, you will not have a reliable connection. Also, be sure to consider line drop across the flex cable, which can be substantial.

    Note: Operating current depends on the imager used. See the appendix for your imager for all information on operating current. Power Supply Noise To limit noise, Intermec recommends using a low-noise power supply or filtering the power before the interface connector. Limiting noise produces a cleaner image, and therefore better decodes.

  • Page 25: Thermal Considerations

    For a mounted ED40 use conductive screws when mounting it on the host. This ensures that the PCB, metal shield and bracket are grounded. For an unmounted ED40, be sure to plan to ground the PCB and metal shield to host ground in your design.

  • Page 43: Aec Zone

    Chapter 4 — ED40 Setup AEC Zone By default the imager uses automatic exposure control (AEC) to control and calculate the amount of light to reach the sensor to produce an acceptable image. This can also be called automatic shutter speed. The AEC Zone setting allows you to apply AEC only to the center of the imager, to an area bigger than the center, or the whole image.
