About This Guide Introduction The NLS-EM3080-W OEM scan engines (hereinafter referred to as “the EM3080-W” or “the engine”) are armed with CMOS image capturer and the Newland patented , a computerized image recognition system-on-chip, featuring fast scanning and accurate decoding on barcodes on virtually any medium-paper, magnetic card, mobile phones and LCD displays.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The EM3080-W is an area image engine for bar code reading. It includes an LED illumination system. The EM3080-W includes: • 1 CMOS imaging sensor • 1 LED based on illumination system Figure 1-1 Block Diagram The engine connected with the host via the 12-pin FPC cable.
Illumination The EM3080-W has 1 white LED for supplementary lighting, making it possible to scan barcodes even in complete darkness. The illumination can be turned On or Off.
Chapter 2 Installation Introduction This chapter mainly describes how to install the engine and provides physical and electrical information, cautions and window properties. △ Caution:Do not touch the imaging lens during the installation. Do not leave the fingerprints on the lens. !...
Thermal Considerations Electronic components in the EM3080-W will generate heat during the course of their operation. Operating the EM3080-W in continuous mode for an extended period may cause temperatures to rise on CPU, CIS, LEDs, DC/DC, etc. Overheating can degrade image quality and affect scanning performance. Given that, the following precautions should be taken into consideration when integrating the EM3080-W.
Figure 2-4 Housing Design ※ Note : Conduct optical analysis for the housing design to obtain optimal scanning and imaging operation. Housing design intends to prevent reflections from the aiming and illumination system. Especially reflections from the tilted window can bounce off from the top or the bottom and finally reach the engine. Keep away from the bright objects that can be reflected.
Properly place the window in order to prevent reflection back into the engine. If the enclosure can’t meet the recommended window angle, contact Newland to discuss positioning matters. Improper position will dramatically affect the performance. There are two alternatives to position the window.

※ Note: Use the parallel or tilted window to read the barcodes. The dust and scratches on the tilted window will result in bad performance in the imaging system. The window should be positioned properly to let the illumination beams pass through as much as possible and no reflections back into the engine (reflections can degrade the reading performance).
ensure that no reflections back into the lens. Window Material and Color Many window materials include stresses and distortions, which leads to poor performance. So use only cell-cast plastics or optical glass. There are three common window materials, chemically tempered glass, PMMA and ADC. Below are the recommended window features.
Chemical Tempering Glass Glass offers optimal scratch and abrasion resistance. But, unannealed glass is easily broken. Chemical tempering can greatly enhance its flexibility. Glass is hard to be cut into different shapes and can’t be ultrasonically welded. Coatings Anti-reflection coatings Anti-reflection coatings are applied for stray light control.
Table 2-4 Specifications Description Exit windows made of tempered glass or plastic can be AR coated. The AR coated glass Material features better adhesion. What’s more, putting AR coating on the glass is more cost-effective. Single side: the minimum transmittance is 92% within spectrum range from 420 nm to 730 nm. Anti-reflection Coating Double side: the minimum transmittance is 97% within spectrum range from 420 nm to 730 nm.
Optical Area of Lens Figure 2-8 Figure 2-9 Ambient Light The EM3080-W shows better performance with ambient light. However, high-frequency pulsed light can result in performance degradation. Eye Safety The EM3080-W has no lasers. It uses LEDs to produce illumination and aiming beams. The LEDs are bright, but testing has been done to demonstrate that the engine is safe for its intended application under normal usage conditions.
Chapter 3 Electrical Specifications Power Supply Do not power up the EM3080-W until it is properly connected. Be sure the power is cut off before connecting a flexible cable to or disconnecting a flexible cable from the host interface connector. Hot-plugging could damage the engine. Unstable power supply or sharp voltage drops or unreasonably short interval between power-ons may lead to unstable performance of the engine.

Chapter 4 Interfaces Host Interface Connector Note: Due to the limited space, TVS can’t be added to the EM30 for static protection. The client should take static protection into consideration. The host interface connector on the EM3080-W is a 12-pin FPC connector. The 12-pin FPC connector supports TTL-232 and USB communication.
Not connected. BUZZ Beeper output. LED output: When using this signal, a driver circuit is needed to drive an external LED. RESET Reset signal input: Active low. Driving this pin low for 100us resets the engine. Trigger signal input: Driving this pin low for 50ms causes the engine to start a scan TRIG and decode session.
12-pin FPC Connector The EM3080-W uses a 12-pin ZIF connector (bottom contact). This connector can be connected to a host device with an FFC cable. Parameters are shown as below. Figure 4-2 FFC Cable (unit: mm) A 12-pin FFC cable (contacts on the same side or on opposite sides) can be used to connect the EM3080-W to a host device.
Timing Sequence Power Up and Power Down Timing Sequence Figure 4-4 1. A represents reset time, about 200ms. 2. B represents time for starting the engine. The total is A plus B, about 3200ms. The engine can receive serial commands or USB communication immediately when it is powered on.
